OK...keeping it real...I just left here form a week on spring break. Here is the real scoop:
Pros: unit nice and clean, elevators are fast so waits are short, pools are nice and some are heated, staff is courteous, location is good for the money, service at pool areas was pleasant. Pizza delivery fast and tasty. Timeshare presentation denied with no problem or harrassment.
Cons: Bus shuttles to DW are a joke... always late or completely missing a run, we waited in cold one night for 45 minutes as someone forgot their route obviously. Parking not really close. Food at on site restaurants average. Magic Kingdom is not 3 minutes away on bus, more like 15 minutes after you get on the bus, which could be 30 minutes late. Buses in afternoons go 2 hours with no scheduled run leaving the resort so the buses are NOT like the Disney buses and do NOT drop you at the same places, but further away. Rent a car, parking is $14 and worth it to have your own transportation and save the time as well. Dishwashers not effective and washer and dryer are loud and in bad location for second bedroom to be effected by noise. Our garbage disposal and vent hood over the range did not work. We had air in the pipes every day banging and making noise, probably from the construction.
Summary: This is a value resort, for the money it is in a good loaction but it has its limits as listed above. We could see the fireworks from our balcony and Epcot and the Boardwalk roofs so the location is good if you have your own car, if you plan on riding the buses pay to be across the street at Disney. The buses were the biggest disappointment for us, so if you plan on renting a car this resort is very viable for a nice vacation. The resort amenities such as the lazy rivers (2) are nice, we spent two days at the resort and enjoyed those days more than Seaworld and Aquatica.
