Our Most Recent Vacation

This froggy (and family) friendly food court was the perfect place to fuel up before hopping to the parks!

Frog Family Snaps

What we love

At 277 sq. ft, standard rooms are the largest of all the Value Resort Hotels!
Frogtastically themed rooms based on “The Little Mermaid”, “Cars’”, “Finding Nemo” and “The Lion King”.
Family suites sleep up to six and feature three sleeping areas, two bathrooms and a kitchenette.
The Big Blue Pool is the largest pool on property and a Frog Family Favorite complete with underwater speakers and zero-entry edges.
The food court offers a create-your-own-pasta bar, freshly-made smoothies and mouthwatering gelato options.
It’s the only Value Resort Hotel to offer a business center!
One of the few Value Hotel Resorts that offer suites accessible via interior hallways, making it feel less “motel-like”.
Easy access to Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios (including Galaxy’s Edge!) and other resorts via the brand-new Disney Skyliner gondola system!
Dog-friendly accommodations are available so that the entire family can enjoy some vacation time.

Keep in Mind

The hotel charges $13 plus tax per night for self-parking.
It’s one of the higher-priced Value Resort Hotels.
Don’t froget to book early as it books out quickly during busier seasons!
“The Lion King” themed-suites don’t have their own quiet pool, but they are close to the Big Blue Pool or the “Little Mermaid” quiet pool.
The Big Blue Pool will be closed for refurbishment beginning in fall 2020.

Notable Facts

The floors and dinnerware in Landscape of Flavors (the in-house food court) are all made from recyclable materials.
The Resort’s swimming pools are so big they could fit 125 cars inside all of them!
The arcade is cashless and uses a “swipe card” complete with recharging stations.
The landscape perfectly matches the themes in each section, such as ocean-looking plants in “Finding Nemo” and desert-like plants in “Cars”.
The Big Blue Pool is the only saltwater pool on property.
“Finding Nemo” are the most popular suites!

Frog Family Tips

Be sure to visit the lobby mural, which shows the evolution of beloved Disney animations all the way from sketches to final art!
Arrive early to get a cone-themed cabana at the “Cars” pool — they are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
We toadally recommend upgrading to a suite if you can swing it, even if you don’t need the extra space.

Best For

Families, especially those who have more than four people in their party, looking for a Value Resort Hotel with deluxe-level theming.

General Walt Disney World® Resort Benefits

Staying on-site at an Official Walt Disney World® Hotel gives you several great complimentary benefits, including free transportation and more. You'll be able to make FastPass+ reservations 60-days advance of your check-in, whereas those staying off-site can make reservations up to 30 days in advance of each day of their theme park visit. FastPass+ allows you to pre-book up to three ride or attraction reservations per day.

The Frog Family absolutely loves staying on-site not just for the fun themes and Disney atmosphere of the hotels, but also for the convenient amenities. Some of the other complimentary benefits include:
- Convenient Proximity - You can easily go back to your hotel from the parks if you need a break or want to relax at the pool. It's just as easy to head back to the parks after relaxing at your hotel for a couple of hours.
- Free Airport Service - With Disney's Magical Express® Transportation, the convenient motorcoach service transports you between Orlando International Airport and your Disney Resort hotel. Have your MagicBands ready to go at the airport before boarding. Learn more about Disney's Magical Express® Transportation.
- Free Park Transportation - Along with complimentary transportation to the airport, you'll also receive free transportation to all Disney Theme Parks! Depending on which Official Walt Disney World® Hotel you stay at, you'll have access to the Monorail, water launch and/or bus transportation. Many of the Official Walt Disney World® Hotels are also walking distance to the parks and other resorts.
- Free Wi-Fi - When staying on-site, you'll have access to complimentary wi-fi, available in your room and select public areas, such as the pools, arcades, restaurants and more.
- Extended Theme Park Hours - With Extra Magic Hours Benefit, you can enter the park on select days one hour early, or stay an extra two hours after park closing. If you want to be able to stay at a park during regular hours, but use your EMH for a different park, you'll need a Park Hopper ticket. Read more about Extra Magic Hours Benefit and when we recommend you use them. (Valid Theme Park admission and Resort ID required)
