Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
Great viewing area. Really quiet. Very long walk from
the lobby, but well worth it. |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
I had to wait over 45 minutes to check in. It was a long line
with only a few cast members working to register. |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
Early Mornings were great and time wise. However, after Noon
it took forever to get anywhere. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
Mara has quality food, but not so nice service. Get the refill
mug... it comes in so handy beside the pool.
Boma was nicely done. Our greeter was great, the chefs were
impressive, the waitress, however, dropped the gall. She did
not care if we understood the buffet or not. With a better
server to help explain the dishes, I am sure we would have had a
better experience.

Pool Description / Comments:
|
Great, Wonderful, one of Disney's best! Water temperature
was always perfect and hot tubs were convenient with rest rooms and
the Mara near by. Made for an enjoyable time as we used it daily.
The bar is excellent with friendly service as well. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This
Resort?
|
Do it at least once. It is so worth it, even if you can only
afford a few nights. Stay in the savannah view rooms! |

Get a room on zebra trail near the end because it is quieter there
and the animals are more active. Zebra trail is on the side
of the resort with the pool and bus stops so you don't have to walk
through the lobby. Get a third or fourth floor room, the view is great. |
