Accommodations Review:
|
The room was great, everything was in good condition. New looking
Sony TV (flat-ish screen) in the room that had a/v inputs (could hook
up a camcorder and watch the day's tapes). |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
We received a postcard for a discounted rate. |
Room # and Location Description:
|
Trinidad South, #3926... the last building in the furthest area.
View of some water and construction at Disney's Pop Country resort. |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
All cons. Trinidad is in the Boondocks. We took our rental
car to the kiddy pool (kids aged 3 and 2) at Port Royale. We took
the kids for walks in the strollers to Port Royale a few times. |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
Quick and effortless, A+ |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
Good location for short bus trips to the 4 parks. Buses every 20
minutes. We took the bus a few times, but usually drove. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
Port Royale restaurants at the food court were pretty bland. The
pizza was actually pretty good. |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
There was a pool in Trinidad South, but we normally went to the
kiddie pool at Port Royale. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This
Resort?
|
Most of the areas are too far away from the action. I'm glad I had
a rental car there (parking at the parks is free for on-site resort
guests too). Without it a quick run up to Port Royale and back to
get an evening snack would take 1/2 hour. |
Other Comments:
|
For $109/night it was worth it (I'm sure that's why we were located
so far out). The first few days we were there the place was pretty
abandoned. Rented a refrigerator (that I could've bought for $80)
for $10.60 a night. It was worth the convenience with the kids though.
We could watch the Epcot fireworks (and see part of the Epcot ball)
from the Promenade by our room. |
