Accommodations Review:
|
I was very impressed with our accommodations. Everyone was very
nice and check in took only 5 minutes. Our room wasn't ready when
we arrived, but that is due to the fact we checked in 2 hrs early.
We spent that time looking around and having a snack in the food court.
The room wasn't any smaller than the hotel we stayed at the year before
called the Record in Kissimmee. It was definitely worth the extra
$$ and we stay on property each time we visit from now on. I would
like to try the All Star Sports next. Especially like the way you
can purchase things at the theme parks and they will deliver your
package back to the front desk at your hotel. |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
Simply put, we chose the All Star Movies for budgetary reasons.
I am a single mom and cannot afford the others. It was a stretch to
pay $105. But it was worth it. |
Room # and Location Description:
|
We were at the Toy Story Section. I cannot remember the exact room
#. Room was very clean and the maid service made it interesting to
return to the room nightly. She would take the souvenirs bought and
arrange them differently every day. |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
We were in a good location. We just had to walk out of our door
and we were right beside a sidewalk that took us directly to the buses
without having to go through the Food Court/shopping/check in area.
Saved time!! |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
Check in and Check Out took approximately 5 minutes each. Great
Service. |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
Busing was decent. The only thing I didn't like was by the time
the bus got the All Star Movies, it was already packed and standing
room only. This didn't happen all of the time but it was a bit of
a downer. Another downside was the buses drop you off way too far
from the gates of the parks. After a long day of walking miles and
miles it was tiring to have to walk all the way back to the bus stop.
I may take my rental car to the parks this next time (July 2001) and
use my free parking privilege and try it that way. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
Food court was good. Of course it was pricey, but we have to remember
where we are. Good selection of food, for example, Cheeseburgers,
pizza, chicken, pasta, stir fry, desserts, drinks, etc. |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
Pool was one of the biggest I've ever seen. It wasn't overly crowded
either. It was good to be able to get in the pool and cool off before
heading back to the parks. Clean as well! Every time I walked by there
was a lifeguard on duty also. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This
Resort?
|
Look at a map of the property and decide if you want to be in a
room closer to the buses. Some of the rooms are a bit far from the
bus stop. |
Other Comments:
|
I wish it were a bit more economical (I know, wishful thinking). |
