The one thing we didn't like (and this may have changed from then) is that they only offered transportation to the different parks once an hour. So, if it was very crowded and there was only one bus, you had to wait for the next one in an hour! So, check into that and see how that works today. But overall, it was a great rice and big rooms and we ate there too and we liked it.

For us, you do lose the Disney feel, other than one pool shaped like Mickey, there is a statue in the lobby, but that is it.
You don't want to get me started on the buses, which run about once per hour per park, if you drive you still pay to park at the parks, and you pay to park at SoG. We walked over to the Poly and used their transportation, but that did add time. I was using an ECV due to an ankle injury and needless to say the experience was horrible.
We didn't eat there, because the reviews were terrible from the SoG thread.
We won't stay there again, unless there are no other options or the room is so inexpensive that it makes a huge diference.

I haven't seen any indication of any improvement in the food. We didn't eat there because of that, but we have favorite places we prefer to eat at the parks. It was such a pain to get back and forth over to SoG, I didn't want to throw eating in that mix.
Just because SoG isn't for us, doesn't mean you won't have a great time and that youwon't love it, we just didn't. We also aren't in the offsite bunch either. I would rather pay more and stay in a Disney resort.
For my family, we got better offers/discounts staying at the resorts. I am very disappointed in what they call Military discounts. You would think it would be a lot cheaper to use SOG, but it's not same goes for the discounts on the tickets..
