Lake Buena Vista, Florida, United States · Disney Resorts · Core Luxury
Architect Robert A.M. Stern modeled this Crescent Lake resort on the seaside boardwalk towns of early-1900s Atlantic City and Coney Island, opening it in July 1996 alongside a quarter-mile public promenade of restaurants, dance halls, and nightlife that still runs along the water today. The resort's Luna Park Pool recreates a vintage 1920s carnival, complete with water-spouting elephant statues and a 200-foot Keister Coaster slide styled after an antique wooden roller coaster.
