Accommodations Review:

The room was very clean and a nice size. The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was clean and well stocked.

Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?

Proximity to monorail and Magic Kingdom, size of room, availability.

Room # and Location Description:

#4439, Tower, overlooking MK and Cinderella's castle.

Room Location Pros & Cons:

Wow! What a view! My kids were asleep when we checked in (10:00 PM) but when they roused enough to see the castle out the window, I couldn't get them back to sleep for another half hour! We were right above the monorail and the shops on the 4th floor which were amazingly quiet. This location made such a difference in the trip being easy on the kids! The monorail was the EASIEST way to travel to MK and especially to get back to the room quickly from the park.

Check-In / Check-Out Comments:

Super! We arrived so late at night there was no one else to check in- we had a "quick check out" or whatever they call it, where we got the bill under our door in the AM of our departure day- since there was nothing to dispute or question, we just left after packing up.

WDW Transportation Comments:

Ooooh! I loved it. The busses for the other parks only pick up Fort Wilderness guests too, and they were never full, in fact, we had them to ourselves on more than one occasion. The monorail was perfect. While millions of folks were waiting to get on to go to TTC after MK closed, the monorail has a separate queue for resort guests and there was never more than 25 people waiting after the fireworks when we were anxious to get our kids back to the room and to bed.

Restaurant / Lounge Review:

The Food and Fun Lounge was very nice, clean and tempting- some neat games are in the arcade- but I needed my sleep!!

Pool Description / Comments:

Alas, we didn't use it.

What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This Resort?

Try to stay in the tower rooms if you can. If you are paying that much for the convenience of the monorail, it makes sense to be as close as you can to it.
