If you enjoy the lush setting of tropical South Pacific, you'll love the Disney's Polynesian Resort.

On this resort, seven villages along palm-lined pathways, a white-sand beach, thatched roofs and a nightly Polynesian luau invoke the feel of an island paradise. This resort is part of the Monorail system and is considered part of the Magic Kingdom Resort area because of its proximity to the Magic Kingdom theme park. The 75 species of indigenous vegetation on the resort will stir the plant lover within you.

Moderate Resorts

There are a total of 4 moderately priced Disney resort, namely, Caribbean Beach, Coronado Springs, Port Orleans Riverside and Port Orleans French Quarter. These resorts have the following amenities:

- full-service restaurants,

- food courts,

- room service,

- luggage service,

- swimming pools with a slide and hot tub,

- on-site recreation, and

- bus or boat transportation.

Named after the European explorer Francisco de Coronado, the Coronado Springs Resort combines the beauty, fantasy and unique cultural elements of colonial Spain, Mexico and New Mexico. Accommodations come in the form of casitas (little houses), which represent urban centers like Santa Fe or Monterrey.

The casitas are nestled amidst plazas, fountains and palm-shaded courtyards.

The resort is built around Lake Lago Dorado, with a stepped Mayan pyramid towering over the pool area. The grounds of the casitas are decorated with lovely fountains and gardenia bushes. Besides the casitas, there are also ranchos, which are 2- and 3- story pueblo-style villas representing the rustic charm of rural Spain.

A cool feature of the resort is that almost all throughout its compound, you can look across water and see the other areas.
