Grand in nearly every way that matters to families, Disney's Wilderness Lodge offers a rockin' rock-carved pool, a lively activities program, easy access to the Magic Kingdom via boat and an on-site childcare center for kids ages 3 to 12.

Designed to evoke the feel of famous American National Park lodges at the turn of the century, the 727-room resort debuted in 1994 and impresses guests with stunning architecture, Native American artifacts and meticulous attention to detail and theming, right down to an onsite "ranger" who leads regular property tours. Even if you can't take in the tour, take a moment to examine the two 55-foot lobby totems, featuring spectacular animal carvings, as well as the towering Grand Canyon fireplace, depicting two billion years of colorful strata. Measuring 82 feet in height, it's as tall as Splash Mountain's Chickapin Hill.

If you're feeling especially adventurous, you can borrow bikes or a boat and set off on a wilderness exploration of your own, hunt for Hidden Mickey's on a self-led treasure tour, or even put your name in the hat to be chosen as the resort's high-climbing "Flag Family" of the day.

Dining choices range from a quick-service spot to an upscale Northwestern-themed venue, a rowdy family restaurant with all-you-can-eat skillets in-between, and if your itinerary involves a full day at the theme parks, you can schedule in-room dinner delivery in advance via the hotel's "Magical Dining" service.

Bunk beds are an option for siblings looking for some elbow room, while Deluxe Rooms sleep up to six and give families Concierge Club perks, plus additional space for spreading out.
