The Sophisticated Side of Disney

The Walt Disney World Resort has always been known for its kid-friendly side, with the numerous family-oriented attractions, shows and loveable characters, but did you know that Disney also has a sophisticated side just for adults? In fact, between the first-class resort hotels, spas and elegant, five-star restaurants, the Walt Disney World Resort has transformed itself over the years from being a place that is just for kids and families to being a retreat for adults looking for a relaxing getaway.
 
The sophisticated side of Disney begins with its first-class resort accommodations. Disney has a plethora of deluxe resorts that have accommodations and amenities that will challenge any five-star hotel in the nation. In addition to their beautiful exteriors and exceptional customer service that has become the Disney standard, these resorts also feature spacious rooms and suites, elaborately themed pools and top-notch recreational activities for their guests. In addition, many have spas and fitness centers that guests can use for an extra fee, and some of the best and highest-rated restaurants in the city of Orlando are also located right on the grounds of these deluxe resorts.
 
The grandest of these resorts is Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, a Victorian-theme resort that pays homage to Palm Beach’s golden era. Located next to the Magic Kingdom Park, this resort sits on the Seven Seas Lagoon along with Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Polynesian Resort. All three have the luxury of having the monorail run through the hotel, which means that guests have easy access to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot along with their first-class resort accommodations. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Disney’s Contemporary Resort are also home to the top two restaurants on property, Victoria & Albert’s and The California Grill, respectively.
 
Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts and Disney’s BoardWalk Inn also mirrors elegance in every way. Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is in the middle of the action of the BoardWalk, but still maintains its charm as a turn-of-the-century replica of the famed Atlantic City. Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts are two other lakeside resorts that recall the elegance of New England seaside hotels in the late 1800s. Rounding out the deluxe accommodations is Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, both of which are full of rustic charm. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is also unique because of its location – with its close proximity to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, guests can actually view wild animals such as giraffes and zebras grazing right outside of their balconies from their guest rooms.

Disney’s sophisticated side doesn’t stop there. As we mentioned earlier, Disney has spas located at six resorts, plenty of other first-class restaurants in the parks and at the resorts, five championship golf courses that guests can play and additional activities such as Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba, which is located at the Downtown Disney West Side. With so many activities for adults, you may even want to consider leaving the kids at home next time!
