fenced suites, quiet pools and plenty of grass, is far nicer and subdued. Accommodations

These handsome sister resorts, pleasantly located along the water and a five-minute walk
from Epcot, strive for old New England beachside charm. The pools, boasting sandy
shores and a slide off the mast of a ship, earn rave reviews, but we found them cramped
and in need of a face-lift.
Animal Kingdom
Along with Disney's value resorts, these are the most inconveniently located of all Disney
hotels. They are the furthest from all the parks except Animal Kingdom and the only Dis-
ney transportation is by bus.

The Southwestern theme, evidenced in the warm pink-and-yellow guest rooms, the
colored lights strung across the Pepper Market and the adobe-colored buildings, creates a
low-key tone that sets this resort apart from other Disney hotels. Several pleasantly land-
scaped two-story buildings, some with their own private and quiet pools, sit along a central
lake.
There's plenty of grass, and little beaches with hammocks hung between the palm trees
sprinkle the shore. At the central pool, an open-air slide zooms down a Maya pyramid.
Suites and casitas sleep up to six, and the hotel is popular for conventions.
