We stayed at the resort for 8 days in December 2018... Seven people spanning three generations . Overall, we were pleased with our stay.
The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. However, I was more than a little surprised when I went to get a luggage cart and had to sign it out then return it or be charged $350! Of course, this entailed several walks the full length of the resort (more on that below). I have never had to sign out a luggage cart.
The rooms are very small. Two full- sized beds, small table with two uncomfortable chairs, and a small TV stand with three drawers. Two people could not pass anywhere in the room without turning sideways. You had to stand beside the toilet to close the bathroom door. Very cold mini- fridge but no microwave. Good selection of channels on the 32" TV. The fixtures needed updated - outlets were worn out and phone chargers would fall out. The GFCI by the sink tripped whenever anything was first plugged in to it. Very clean room overall. We took advantage of an offer they had where we got about $10/ night on a Disney gift card if we opted out of daily room service. The shower was good, consistently hot, and had plenty of pressure. Complimentary shampoo and soap dispensers were mounted on the bathtub wall.
The resort is rather strung out and it was a LONG walk (probably 1/2 mile each way) from our building to the main building to eat, get the free beverages, hit the bar, catch a shuttle bus, etc. I had no problem "getting my steps in" during my stay.
The two pools were nice and warm, most welcome on a cool December afternoon. They were well- maintained and spotless. More than ample lifeguards were always on station and alert at all times. Free pool towels and life preservers were poolside along with a multitude of chairs.
Would I stay here again? Probably, but not in the winter... I don't like the cold .
