They also come with all the same amenities as the standard rooms as well as a DVD player and wet bar.

ARCADIA SIGNATURE SUITES

These rooms basically share the same amenities as the regular suites but do have a lot more space as well as a kitchen and dining room.

These suites are a significant jump up in quality from the previous rooms and suites.

ARROYO SIGNATURE SUITES

The Arroyo Signature Suites are very similar to the Arcadia Signatures Suites in size, amenities, and price.

The big difference here is that the 3-bedroom suite can fit up to 13 people, the most out of any suite in the hotel.

If you have the budget, these signature suites are an insanely luxurious way to spend a Disney vacation.

MOUNT WHITNEY SIGNATURE SUITES

The Mount Whitney Signature Suites are very similar in style and amenities to the Arroyo Signature Suites but with a few catches.

These suites only come in the form of 2 and 3-bedrooms and can sleep six and 10 people, respectively. Because they are absent the 1-bedroom, the suites usually range between $6,000 to $10,00 per night.

With these suites down, the last signature suites are…
