Great condo hotel, very spacious! We didn't want to be crammed into a small hotel room with no kitchen at a Disney or Universal hotel. We like our own space and Floriday's was great. We had a huge two bedroom with two bathrooms and plenty of room, the washer & dryer was such a great extra. The condo was clean and modern. I just wish we were closer to the pool and restaurant and not so far away from the amenities. My only complaint... I requested additional towels and toilet paper through the link they sent me. It said they were delivered to the room but they were not. The property was clean and maintained nicely, we felt safe there. We were 25 minute ride with traffic from Universal, so fairly close. The property was quiet at night and peaceful. We would definitely stay again.

TK was our front desk attendant and he was incredibly kind, respectful of our privacy, and very thorough. Everywhere you go in the hotel smells and is incredibly clean. I have stayed here many times before and will never stop coming here.

Matt Venneman

Close to main attractions. Family enjoyed the large swimming area. We didn't get cleaning service during our full week so that was a little disappointing and it took many requests to get clean towels and other items. The grounds were very pretty and kept clean.

Made a last minute trip to Orlando for a few days and had a hard time picking a place to stay because I had my 4 kids with me and wanted to make sure we had enough room for everyone to be comfortable. I'm so glad I chose Floridays the place was awesome super clean very spacious for me and my 4 kids we got the 3 bedroom and it was more than enough room food was great service was great anytime I needed anything they were there within minutes to meet are needs! Check out was even better this morning when I got to talk to Mary Lou about returning in May.

Stayed for a week at the beginning of March 2025. Really great location. Close to all the parks and the Highway. Can't really beat the location. Nice amenities. The pools were really nice as were the hot tubs. The room we had was really nice. You could smell everything had been cleaned when we were arrived, nice and comforting. Bathrooms are nice a a geat kitchen space. Our toaster wasn't working and they replaced it right. We requested a few extra blankets and they were delivered to the room quickly with no issues. All the staff I interacted with were great. We'll definitely stay again. Thanks for having us.

A 2025 two stars hotel with 5 + stars price. Here is a hotel that was open n 1990 and probably celebrated as a top resort hotel, but in 2025 this hotel is tired, worn out and absolutely dated. It almost gives a guest a sense of nostalgia and sadness confronted with rusted metal structures, faded paint and old carpeting. The rooms decor and furniture are dated with signs of neglect with popcorn ceiling and small bathroom with vents covered with ancient dust that probably deserves an archeological study. What is unacceptable is the fact that this hotel charges premium for the rooms, parking and food as a 5 stars hotel in its glory days. Actually even more expensive than some 5 stars hotel as I experienced when ordering a portion of Mac and cheese and expected being served on a golden plate and silverware brought by a fully dressed butler due to its cost. It was only a small portion of Mac and cheese in a plastic container… The parking is chaotic if the guest chooses to self parking with very limited parking space because the main lots are closed. Unless you like to walk from the Swan parking lot where you are forced to park there, the alternative is to use its expensive valet parking. And from there the guest ripoff starts from bellboys to pretty much everything beyond your room. The service is decent, the rooms cleanness is as expected and windows with dirty glasses. The only thing that I can say is, this hotel is only worth by its location. Other than that, I personally would never recommend my friends and family to stay. There are many other options in the area that you would feel better signing the tab for, which it is not the case when staying here. I felt ripped off every time I pulled my credit card out of my wallet or charged the room. As another guest mentioned to me, this is a five stars motel 8.

Beautiful resort with lots of excellent dining options and beautiful pools. Quick walk over to the Swan Resort. Excellent location right by Epcot. There are two mini golf courses right across the street at the neighboring Swan Reserve, which were fun to check out! While this resort is on Disney property, be sure to note that this is a Marriott-owned hotel rather than a Disney-owned resort, so you cannot use your Magic Band to access your room. Also, if you book your room through a third party website rather than booking directly through the Marriott website, you CANNOT check in to your room via the Marriott app. You will have to visit the front desk to pick up your room keys, which is a slight inconvenience if there is a long line at the front desk. My experience at this resort was good overall, but check-in and parking could have gone more smoothly. I arrived a little after 4pm on a Saturday to park at the Dolphin resort and was told that there was no more parking available due to construction in the parking lot, so I would have to park at either the Swan or the Swan Reserve. The parking lot attendants also told me that I would be able to check-in to my room from any of the three hotels, since they're all on the same property and all Marriott-owned. I drove over to park at the Swan Reserve, went inside to check in, and was told that I could only check in at the Dolphin Resort. Not a huge deal, but a minor inconvenience when you're lugging a bunch of bags and suitcases around and trying to get to your hotel room in a timely manner. After checking out, I realized I was charged twice for parking. I had to pay to exit the parking lot at the Swan Reserve, but I was also charged a self-parking fee to my room invoice (folio) upon checking in. I was able to get the charge removed from my room invoice, but it required me to jump through a few extra hoops. Luckily, I was not charged the resort fee that I was expecting to be charged, which was a nice surprise. Would stay here again but likely not until the parking lot construction is completed.

Beautiful and large resort with plenty of pools and relaxation areas. The main lobby is stunning and welcoming. The parking lot is under construction, leaving only the valet lot (being used as self-park). This lot is very small and difficult to navigate with multiple trash dumpsters all around. The location is perfect, with many things to see and do within walking distance, including Disney's Boardwalk. The rooms are dated. Musty smelling carpet covers the entire room except the bathroom. While the typical room is spacious, there is only one full bathroom with no outside sink that many resorts now seem to offer. The beds are comfortable but very small. The windows, at least in our room, were a little weird they way they were separated and covered by the curtains. Not all rooms have balconies. Overall, the grounds are gorgeous, but the smelly and outdated rooms will probably result in us never staying overnight again, but we would visit for the drinks and food.

John Laswell

The rooms are similar to other good hotels in size and furnishing. Very clean and nice. The service and facilities are excellent. Well above the norm. The gym is impressive. Guest laundry is very nice. Food was ok and around the price I expected. Location is wonderful.

MJRC

Great location between Hollywood Studios and Epcot. However, the services and amenities are better at the Disney-run parks. Don't even bother with valet parking. Wish I had spent a little more and stay at Boardwalk, Beach Club, or Yacht Club. Already spent a fortune on Disney. Would have been better to not come away with bad feeling about the hotel stay.

Ammie Gilliam

The resort was very nice. My grandchildren enjoyed the large pool. Everyone was friendly. Room was nice and clean. Rooms are on the small side but comfortable. We enjoyed the skylines and transportation to and from the parks. We stayed in the 60's building. Thank you for an awesome stay.

Richard Partridge

Stayed at Pop Century for 15 nights January/February. Resort is clean and well maintained. Food hall is standard quick service with a limited selection of food. Seating area can get very crowded. If you need a gluten free diet be prepared to eat burgers ,chicken strips, salmon and rice or a really terrible cauliflower crust pizza. Resort is connected to Epcot and Hollywood Studios by the skyline with buses to other areas. Skyline was the only option to get to these 2 parks so if you don't like heights or small spaces be prepared to take 2 buses to get around. Rooms are what you expect but unfortunately don't expect it to be properly cleaned. Cleaning staff for rooms do the absolute minimum. Sheets never changed, towels changed about every third clean and floor sort of swept twice. See photo of under the bed. If you are planning staying at this resort I strongly recommend you stay at the All Stars Music or Movies. They are cheaper and better.

KRISSY CULLUM

I wish the rooms had a little more space and mirrors. The beds are pretty comfortable. The AC works amazing and that's the most important part. Thank you. I appreciate commodities in the shower too

We went at the end of June, the beginning of August 2023. And it was a great one week experience. This was my 1st visit for my child. And my 1st since I was a child. Have been to Pop Century 3 times in 35 years. Every time has been great! I have to say I hope to stay at a higher end resort one day. But only because I & my family have experienced all the conveniences Pop Century has to offer. And we have become really knowledgeable of how to best experience the parks in a timely manner. Pop makes that possible. Now I want to stay two weeks at something a little more luxury. And have a more relaxed approach to hitting the parks. If you've never been and want to get the most out of your time at Disney World, Stay at Pop Century. It's affordable and provides quick & easy access to the parks. Has nice showers with good shampoo, conditioner & everything a person needs to feel at home on your downtime during vacation.

Noel Campbell

This is the more budget friendly scale of the resorts but don't let that deter you it is still a Disney resort. This has skylines to Epcot and Hollywood Studios so that is a huge plus as well as busses to remaining Disney parks and Disney Springs. The arcade here is huge as well as the on site dining area.

Erik Eisenstaedt

Excellent experience at this resort. Themes and esthetics were perfect. The room layouts were carefully and thoughtful planned. Very calm and relaxing experience. There are so many activities daily that it's enough to just stay at the resort for a day before even heading to the parks. Service is limited; there is no room service, and you have to return your luggage cart to the lobby (which can be a hike depending on where you stay). The location is perfect for Hollywood Studios access, but it can take a bit longer to get to Epcot or even Magic Kingdom. Everything was very clean and housekeeping was very accommodating. All in all, I highly recommend for a moderate budget friendly Disney resort.

Jazzmine Hawkins

Highly recommend this resort. It is so easy to get to all the parks. The sky-liner was amazing and the bus transportation workers were so friendly. All the pools were super clean and had towels. Room service was very attentive. I will recommend this resort to anyone and hopefully will be back. Rooms were very clean. The front desk were also super nice!

John Cogswell

It would be easier for me to identify areas of potential improvement here, rather than what works well. The culinary staff shows a moderate lack of experience, based on how they cook their food. There was a lack of dairy added to the eggs for breakfast, and a lack of salt, which would dramatically improve texture and taste. Many of the recipes that call for garlic had so much garlic added that they bordered on inedible. Otherwise, the food was not terrible. If you're looking for a good value and a key location that provides ready access to the parks, staying here at the resorts is a solid choice. The layout and style is unmistakably similar to military barracks, or university dormitories, but with some pleasant Disney touches added. In short, it serves the purpose as a value choice, but may feel a little lacking if any significant time is spent in the lodgings. The coffee is terrible. Flat out. It gave me something to look forward to returning home to Boston, to. 4/5 solid choice. I grumble around the margins, and they are small margins.

Kelly Pearse

Our family of 4 had the perfect stay. We were at one of the Lion King suites. The two beds plus pull out couch worked really well. The three pools were also great and we had no issues with buses or the skyliner. We will be back!

Shawn Pitman

Rooms are great. Service has been great. Location is a little distant which means you only have the Skyliner and buses as options. And bus rides can be long. Resort is nice. Very good for kids. Pools are super kid friendly. Service staff never complains. For the price difference with the premium resorts, hard to recommend overall UNLESS you have small children.

Leora Hecksher

The rooms are super duper clean the Service is amazing all the staff will help you anytime and wherever I walk I always see smiling faces. The food is delicious you will look and think I’m not sure but when you try it tastes like magic. The view is spectacular I wake up every morning and I wake to a beautiful pond happy faces and lovely tall palm trees. The pool is great perfect for kids, teens and adults there is even a bar next to the pool perfect for enjoying drink And for watching you kids swim. The location is beautiful all different and amazing Trees And a bunch of different Resorts. Over all the place is just so kind, sweet and special to anyone!

Anita Burns

We had an amazing time. Beds are so comfy, rooms were clean, staff was great (we didn't have to interact too much, but when we did, they were great). The ease of the skyliners was A plus. The Trinidad building was fantastic. A short walk to literally everything, with one of the grills being directly across. Food at each location was great as well. Views were beautiful. The pools looked nice although we never used them.

Stephanie

This was a first time staying on Disney grounds and we will probably try another resort next time. We upgraded to a moderate priced package to get a room that slept 5 so my kids could have there own beds...just fyi they just shove an extra bed into the small room. Our room had 2 queens and a fold down short twin (at best...my 9 year old barley fit). One of the queens was so close to the bed you couldn't walk between the bed and wall. The room with tub and toilet was tiny. I actually kicked the tub one night trying to get tot the bathroom. The toilet is within inches of the tub and same with the wall so you get a step before your hitting the tub. Thankfully the sinks were outside that part of the bathroom and those were nice and upgraded. The bathroom door was also falling apart at the bottom. The rooms dont have much soundproofing so be ready to be up every morning with the rope droppers at disney. Several pools but all the good amenities were a 10 minute walk across the island to the main part of the hotel.

Ryan Lospaluto

Great resort! Easy walk to everything you want/need in the resort. The pool was fun and not too crowded. The kids loved the waterslides. It's Disney so the room is small for the price but that is to be expected. Food was great! We have kids with food allergies and they took good care of us. (Twice during our 1 night stay (we stayed to go on a Disney cruise the next day) someone stopped us in line and offered to swipe their extra meals for us)

Ruth

I dreaded the trip my daughters planned to Disney and it ended up being an incredible experience. The grandchildren (from 13 yrs to 5 months) had the time of their lives. Plan for down time at the resort- it's gorgeous and so relaxing! Food at the parks could use an overhaul. As could stroller parking- they need cover from rain.

Karel Morales

The room was wonderful, offering a great view of the savanna, where the animals were very active throughout the day. Since it was March, the temperature was perfect. The bus stop for the parks was conveniently close, making transportation easy. The pool area was spacious, featuring a kids' playground nearby and a flamingo viewing area right next to it. The bar, located by the pool, had quick and efficient service from the staff. Additionally, the restaurant by the pool served the same food as the buffet, so if you didn’t want to pay for the buffet, you could simply order by the pool, pick up your meal, and enjoy it on your balcony. The lobby was warm and inviting, creating a cozy atmosphere from the moment you arrived. Keep in mind that if you're unsure about spending the money, you can visit the hotel first to check it out and decide if it’s the right fit for you. The staff is very friendly and always happy to help.

Jennifer Dalby

Our experience here was just okay. It was our first time staying at a Disney resort and we were not terribly impressed with the service. This particular hotel has a very impressive lobby that is well decorated and really beautiful. The food choices were good for a hotel that is so isolated from the rest of the Disney area. Being able to walk out and see all the wildlife was cool... the one time we were able to see them during our 5 day stay with them. We really liked the arcade and some of the other family friendly amenities they had. I was very disappointed by the service though. I asked for help with some things like booking a massage and getting late checkout and both times, the staff were not friendly and not helpful. Overall, I think this hotel is impressive but not worth the price tag. You're better off staying at a Marriott or something similar

Brian Pagkos

Absolutely amazing experience here. Such an incredible hotel, the atmosphere was just shockingly absorbing and detailed. The food at Boma was the best I've had in a long time and the service from the hotel staff was second to none. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. We were lucky to have a partial view room, which really added to the experience. We all enjoyed sitting on the balcony and looking at the animals. We visited both pools, and they were fantastic. There are also plenty of paths and quiet areas to explore around the property. Highly recommend the hotel and definitely have dinner at either of the restaurants.

Robert Serych

Absolutely loved this Disney property. We were impressed with the construction and decor, especially when you enter the lobby. We woke to animal sightings from our balcony each morning. Good restaurant choices. Only minor negative is the distance from magic Kingdom, but not bad to other parks.

We recently stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge (Jambo House) last March 18 , and I can honestly say it was one of the most magical and memorable resort experiences we've ever had. Our family loves nature and animals, so this place was the perfect fit. While we haven’t stayed at other Disney resort hotels yet, it’s hard to imagine anything else topping this—Animal Kingdom Lodge feels like its own special world. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and thoughtfully designed. Our room was clean and modern with no carpet, which we really appreciated. It had a fresh, calming scent, and the overall vibe was so warm and immersive. A sweet surprise was the personalized welcome message on our in-room TV—it had our family name displayed, which made us feel immediately at home. Tech-wise, the room was super convenient—we could unlock the door using the Disney app or our park ticket cards, which was such a nice touch when you’ve got your hands full. There was even a smart Google speaker in the room that we used to play music, check the weather, and just have a little fun. But the absolute best part? The view. We could see giraffes, zebras, and other animals right from our balcony. Waking up and watching them roam freely in the savanna was such a peaceful and awe-inspiring treat. We were lucky enough to be in Jambo House, and every morning and evening felt like a mini safari adventure without leaving our room. Dining was another highlight of our stay. The food at the lodge was delicious, and even if you're on a bit of a budget, The Mara was always a solid option. My husband couldn’t stop talking about their signature cheddar bacon blend burger—he ended up ordering it more than once. I also appreciated how accommodating they were with dietary needs; I requested gluten-free bread and they provided it without hesitation. Other favorites were the combination bowl and the tamarind pork BBQ sandwich—I’m honestly still thinking about that sandwich. The flavors were bold, and the portions generous. There was also so much to do right at the resort. One of our favorite activities was the campfire in the evening. Roasting marshmallows under the stars felt magical in such a unique setting. We had the chance to chat with cast members and learn about the animals, which added to the experience. And yes—meeting Domino the Zebra was a major highlight for our kids (and for us too!). The animal viewing areas throughout the lodge were fascinating, and there was always something new to see and learn. Even though the resort is large, everything was very walkable. The layout was intuitive, stroller-friendly, and beautifully decorated. Just walking through the lobby and hallways felt like part of the experience. We also felt very safe the entire time—we noticed the strong presence of friendly staff and security, and the resort did a great job keeping everything organized and easy to navigate. There’s just something about the ambiance at Animal Kingdom Lodge—it’s relaxing, immersive, and inspiring. Every little detail felt intentional, from the architecture to the lighting, the music, the smells, the decor... it was all designed to transport you. The staff was amazing—always kind, helpful, and genuinely happy to be there, which made our stay even more enjoyable. All in all, Animal Kingdom Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way. We truly feel like we can’t go back to regular hotels after this. It was more than a place to stay—it was a full experience. If your family loves nature, wildlife, and that special Disney magic, I cannot recommend this resort enough. We’re already talking about coming back. It was that special.
