|
Outstanding! Lots of room for the 6 of us. The full kitchen was
very useful for breakfast and a couple of lunches. The washer &
dryer were an added bonus. |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
First year DVC member. |
Room # and Location Description:
|
3069 & 3071. Right next to the elevators (thanks) based upon
my request for my 85 year-old father. |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
The view was over the Valet/Check-in turnaround. Not so great a
view and very busy, but what I read was right.... close the door and
you can't hear a thing. Being close to the elevators was great. |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
Uneventful. Our room wasn't ready until shortly after 4 but Bell
Services was there in a couple of minutes with out luggage (check-in
and out). |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
Used the buses to MK and AK - no real problems. It took a while
to get the DD bus. We used the boat once or twice for Epcot &
Studios but found the walk to both was much easier. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
Thumbs up for ESPN. Down for Big River (long wait and VERY noisy).
The food was just OK. We really enjoyed a quiet drink at the BelVue
Room in the later evening. |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
Used the main and quiet pools. Both were fine. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This
Resort?
|
If you don't mind a walk, it's extremely convenient. I love watching
Illuminations, exiting through International Gateway, and being at
my hotel within 5-10 minutes with no crowds and no lines for buses. |
