The Disney Institute and its resort villas are located on 250 acres of woodland near the Buena Vista Lagoon and Bonnet Creek. This is a very quiet area for accommodations and they range from one-bedroom townhouses to fully equipped Treehouse Villas and even Grand Vista Homes.

This resort was designed with Coronado's view of colonial Mexico and the American southwest in mind. You are greeted by a sunny plaza leading to the large lobby complete with beamed, mosaic ceilings, columns, inlaid floors and a beautiful fountain.

This is by far my favorite of all the Disney resorts. The Grand Floridian was inspired by the turn-of-the-century Victorian resorts of the Florida coast.

Disney's Contemporary Resort

I've always loved this resort. The image of this massive, concrete A-frame building with a monorail going through the middle of it was the epitome of modern when I was a kid. This 15 story 1,041 room monstrosity is in the Magic Kingdom Resort Area and is bordered by Bay Lake.

So you wanted a Rocky Mountain getaway and the kids wanted a Disney vacation? No need to lose any sleep over the decision! Disney's Wilderness Lodge is surrounded by huge pine, cypress and oak trees and is made to look just like what you'd find on a vacation to Yellowstone National Park.

The 45 acre Barefoot Bay is surrounded by six Caribbean islands: Aruba, Barbados, Martinique, Jamaica, and Trinidad North and South.

Disney's Boardwalk Inn

The fun and fancy of Atlantic City's Boardwalk in the 1930's is what you'll find at Disney's Boardwalk Inn. Whether you prefer to relax by the pool, in the gardens or enjoy the carnival of the Boardwalk, this resort has something for you.

Disney's Yacht Club Resort

by Lisa P

02 Oct 2007 05:20 PM

The Yacht Club is on 25-acre Crescent Lake. Like the Beach Club, it was designed by Robert A. M. Stern and meant to bring to mind the New England shore of the 1880s. Also a five-story deluxe resort, the Yacht Club has a gray clapboard facade with whitewashed-wood trim.
