Beautiful resort, we really enjoyed our stay here ...

Beautiful resort, we really enjoyed our stay here during they Fourth of July, 2018. Rooms were very nice and clean. Service was excellent and the amenities were great. The fire works show was excellent and the lagoon was nice and calm, but not real clear for snorkeling when we were there.
My biggest issue was the lack of reasonable sit down dinning options. The food and drink prices are super expensive for the quality of food and size of the drinks. Everything is priced high unless you want to get food on the go at Ulu Cafe "self serve" or the Island Country Market in the Ko Olina Market Plaza across the street. I dont mind paying for good dinners, which there are a few good restaurants in the area. But I prefer reasonable options for breakfast and lunch.
I wish all the pools weren't so shallow. The pools are all shallow, 3' is a common depth through out the pools with the edgeless pool being the deepest at 4 1/2'. This place is great for family's with small kids, say 3 to 9 years old. But for older kids, they get board with the pools in a couple days. My kids are 12 and 14. I do commend Disney for having lifeguards every where. I was told by one of them they rotate through each pool side position every 45 minutes, let's you relax and enjoy vacation a little easier.
Overall I liked the place and if I had small kids I would consider staying here again even though the cost of the resort and food are expensive!
