Formerly the Nickelodeon Family Suites (renamed in April 2016). Besides the resort’s close proximity to Walt Disney World (just 3 miles/5 km. away), the all-suite hotel offers suites with a living rooms and kitchenettes. Newly renovated suites are available with 1-, 2-, and 3-bedrooms. Have fun at the Batman Laser Challenge, 4-D Theater Experience, 3,000 square foot arcade, and Family Rivals show and karaoke inside the Celebration Theater. The resort also has a huge pool complex with seven water slides, four-story water tower, zero-entry pool, water playground, two hot tubs, and a small miniature golf course. There is a free scheduled shuttle bus to Walt Disney World, but we found it more convenient to drive. 

We enjoyed our stay at this 718-room, 6-story deluxe hotel just 1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the gates of Walt Disney World. Guest rooms accommodate up to four guests with either one king-size bed or two double-size beds. Rooms come in either pool or courtyard views and feature modern Italian furniture and marble bathrooms.

For a $11.30 daily service fee, you get scheduled shuttles to attractions, 24-hour access to the fitness center, high-speed Internet access (most rooms), use of lighted tennis courts, free local and toll calls, and free newspaper delivery. The resort has two pools, a water slide, a wading pool, and two hot tubs, as well as playground and arcade. Food service includes a full-service restaurant (open for breakfast and dinner), a deli with Pizza Hut items, a sports bar, a pool bar, and room service. Note that kids under 10 eat free when accompanied by a paying adult. 

This resort (formerly Sheraton Safari) now has contemporary/casual Floridian decor, and a line-up of kids’ activities led by “Pool Captains.” The 490-room, 6-story hotel is located just ¼ mile (½ km) from Disney property (you can’t walk to it, but it is a short drive or ride on the scheduled shuttle). Guest rooms come in standard (one king-size or two double-size beds), Junior and Family Suites (with kitchenette and separate parlor), and deluxe suites (with full kitchens and large parlors).
