Exceptional. The room was clean, and it looked as if it was recently
renovated it was so new looking. The theming was pleasant. |
Why Did you Select This Resort for your Stay?
|
We wanted to stay at a moderate, and this looked like the best one
for us. |
Room # and Location Description:
|
Building 4, third floor. |
Room Location Pros & Cons:
|
It was all very positive. It was close to the bus stop and the food
court. It was quiet. |
Check-In / Check-Out Comments:
|
It went very fast. The cast members were pleasant and helpful. |
WDW Transportation Comments:
|
We took the buses for the first few days. It takes a while to get
to the parks because the buses stop at all of the Riverside stops
after picking up the French Quarter passengers. However, the flip
side was that at the end of a tiring day you are the first to be dropped
off coming back from the parks. This was the first trip where we rented
a car, and after the first few days we drove everywhere. We much preferred
having the car. |
Restaurant / Lounge Review:
|
The only times we at at the food court were the mornings, and all
we had were beignets. They were very good. The lines did appear to
be very long in the mornings, but there was a separate counter where
you could buy the beignets that was never too long. |
Pool Description / Comments:
|
It looked great, but we didn't use the pool. |
What Suggestions Would you Give Anyone that is Considering This
Resort?
|
The resort is small compared to the other moderates, so it is not
as important where your room is. The boat ride to Downtown Disney
is interesting and worth doing for the experience, but it is too slow
to use as regular transportation. |
Other Comments:
|
We loved it, and unless and until we join the Vacation Club, this
is where we will stay. |
