Wonderful Resort under a mile from the Crossroads
Shopping Center and very near I-4, exit 27. Our villa included a
MBR with double Jacuzzi and oversized shower, 2nd BR with 2 double
beds, fully equipped kitchen w/fridge, stove, oven, micro,
dishwasher, disposal and stacked washer & dryer. The LR/DR was
spacious with dining seating for 6+. There was a queen pull-out
sofa bed, chairs, TV/VCR and screened lanai. Everything was very
clean and attractive. Both full bathrooms had hairdryers. Large,
nicely furnished, well-laid-out rooms. Some buildings have
elevators, as ours did. The oldest section of the resort is town
homes - newly refurbished but no Jacuzzi. Great trip. |

Restaurant/Lounge Review:
|
The light poolside restaurant near the "Super
Pool" had good sandwiches at reasonable prices, friendly
service. Most pool areas (there are 7 or more) had a nearby bar. |

Pool Description/Comments:
|
Many pools (all heated, w/hot tubs and kiddie
pools). "Cascades" was gorgeous, with a waterfall and
squishy sidewalk fountains for the kids. "Falls"
included a short steep waterslide. "Springs" had a fun
video arcade and lush foliage. Each area had something nice, worth
visiting around if your family enjoys nice pools. Pool towels at
the recreation centers near each pool area, as well as organized
activities. |
Other Comments:

We'd return anytime - highly recommended. Only 10
minutes to Epcot or D-MGM's parking lots. |
