Why we love it

The theming is grand and classical, yet still very Disney at the same time. Aside from all the wonderful dining and leisure experiences that this Moderate Hotel offers, one of our absolute favourite things has to be the decor of the rooms. The very special Disney princess themed Royal Guest Rooms really add a little extra magic to your holiday.

    One of our favourite parks - amazing fireworks at the end of the day . We didn’t agree to pay a tip for having a drink poured at the bar in the English Pub. We don’t do this in England as a tradition. It just seemed absurd. The beer is expensive enough as it is in the Disney ‘Pub’ Tipping servers in parks should be scrapped as we pay thousands to Disney for tickets and they should be paying their staff a decent wage.

    Trusted Customer reviewed Epcot 27 May, 2023

  • 5 stars:

    Great park geared toward younger visitors since the characters are based on classic Disney’s princess and Mickey stories.

    Amazing park but a few main rides were broken down when we arrived and not put back on toward end of the day so we missed out.
