Accommodations Review: |
Room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Included a fridge, coffee
maker and hairdryer. There was a hole in one of the
interior walls where a bolt or something was mounted in the
wall. Room had what were described as two queen sized beds,
and if this is true, then queens must be a lot smaller in
Anaheim than where we live.
Television gets all of the local
channels, plus all of the Disney owned channels (Disney, Toon
Disney, ESPN, etc.) plus several channels devoted to local
resort ads and information.

Room Location Pros & Cons: |

Check-In / Check-Out Comments: |
Room was not ready at check-in and would not be ready
until 3:00. CM was helpful and (as it turned out) the room was
ready at 2:00. Bell captain was extremely helpful with our
check out, holding our luggage and securing transportation to
the airport for us. |
WDW Transportation Comments: |
The shuttle bus was never there when we were ready for it,
nor was there any notice of where to catch it or when to
expect it. Walking to the parks via Downtown Disney was very
convenient, as was the walkway to the Paradise Pier gate at
DCA. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review: |
Only ate at PCH for breakfast and dinner. PCH is a
madhouse at breakfast and service is a bit uneven. Character
breakfast has exactly two characters. Breakfast is buffet and
the choices and quality were excellent. Dinner was extremely
relaxed, with few diners in the restaurant. Meal quality at
dinner was good. |
Pool Description / Comments: |
Average sized rectangular pool. No theming or lifeguards.
Plenty of clean towels and life vests (for the
children). |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering
This Resort? |
If you can get a good deal on this hotel, go for it. The
little extras, like the private gate into the park, make it
worthwhile. |
