4. Family Suite, Art of Animation Resort, Walt Disney World

Though the Art of Animation Resort falls under the "value" category for Disney hotels, it has some truly great theming, with rooms that look like they've popped right out of an animated page. The hotel's family suites — which sleep up to 6 and have a kitchenette, living, and dining area — stand out especially with elaborate theming throughout.

A personal favorite is the aquatic Finding Nemo suite which is sure to keep you happily swimming along through your entire vacation.

3. Kilimanjaro Club Level Room, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Walt Disney World

Though all of the rooms at Animal Kingdom Lodge feature similar — and spectacular — African theming, the Kilimanjaro Club Level rooms (the Lodge's version of a Concierge Level) are something extra special. With balconies and savannah views, you don't even have to leave your room to take in the wildlife of Animal Kingdom. And as an extra perk, you have access to Sunrise Safari tours only available to Kilimanjaro Club guests — and these early morning tours are a great way to spot animals without the hassle of park crowds. And if you're not an early bird, you'll also have the option to embark on a Night Safari, open to all Animal Kingdom Lodge guests.

And if that's not enough, Kilimanjaro Club rooms also have access to the club lounge where you can get Jungle Juice (and other goodies) all day long. Yum!

2. Donald Duck Room, Ambassador Hotel, Tokyo Disneyland

Tokyo Disneyland's Ambassador Hotel has an art deco theme that feels like it's stepped straight out of 1930's Hollywood. It's a look that isn't quite replicated by any other Disney property, which makes it a great choice if you're taking the plunge to head out to Tokyo Disneyland.

Still, what really sells us on this hotel are the character themed rooms which keep the hotel's art deco style but add character specific touches throughout. There are rooms for Donald, Mickey, and Minnie, but the Donald rooms — with their bow tie pillows and duck foot-shaped headboards — are definitely our favorite.

1. Balcony Room, MiraCosta Hotel, Tokyo Disneyland

If you're looking to upgrade from the Ambassador, try the MiraCosta. These rooms are very nice, though admittedly not the most exotically themed rooms on this list — in fact, they're probably the most conventionally themed. However, the hotel as a whole makes up for it. Located on Tokyo DisneySea property, the MiraCosta blends seamlessly into the park with one side designed to mimic Tuscany, one side designed to mimic Venice, and one side designed to mimic a Mediterranean seaside town. Though each part of the hotel is gorgeously themed, the seaside Porto Paradiso rooms offer the best views of Tokyo DisneySea, looking out directly onto the park's Mediterranean Harbor.

The standout choice here is definitely the balcony rooms on the Porto Paradiso side, which offer clear view of the harbor and, usually, Mount Prometheus beyond. It's a great place to catch both daytime and nighttime entertainment... all without leaving your hotel room.
