Local attractions also include Epcot® and Disney-MGM Studios. All Walt Disney World® Theme Parks are reachable from this resort via monorail, ferry, or bus.
Guests who want to hit Disney's Magic Kingdom® Park bright and early don't even have to exit this hotel for express monorail service to the park's entrance. This lakeside resort features a white-sand beach, perfect for soaking up the sun or playing a round of volleyball. Rent a manual or motorized boat at the marina and sign up for professional instruction at Sammy Duvall's Watersports Centre (for a fee).

With Extra Magic Hours, guests staying at a Walt Disney World® Resort have even more chances to experience the magic.
