Deluxe Resorts

Here is some information on the Deluxe Resorts, granted we've never had a chance to stay at any of these, mostly due to the cost. These are some of the more costly resorts to stay at, but if you have the money to do so, I would suggest it. I know we plan on one day to stay at the Contemporary Resort next to the Magic Kingdom. Below you will find the descriptions of the resorts, but please check the Walt Disney World website for accurate pricing based on the time of year you plan ongoing. 

Animal Kingdom Lodge:

Step into the heart of Africa at this magnificent Resort hotel. Inspired by the traditional African kraal, the horseshoe-curved design provides spectacular views of 4 lush savannas that over 200 hoofed animals and birds call home. Delight in dazzling pool areas, exciting animal programs, and one of the largest collections of African art in the United States as you experience your own African safari adventure with a touch of Disney magic.
