I stayed there two years ago with my husband and then 3 month old. It was a poor choice for us at the time. I wanted to be able to return to the home once or twice a day to avoid the heat/rest with the baby. The drive seemed to take forever . . . many stoplights to go through, traffic was always backed up. I remember seeing the Target on the way "home" thinking we were almost there but it seemed to take an additional ten minutes to get in the resort, get to our door.
The community itself was nice enough. Somewhat confusing to navigate but lots of nice walk spaces around. Security was good.
I think I just didn't have realistic expectations of what it would feel like to be stuck in traffic, trying to navigate into the parks and having a fussy baby. It just didn't make sense to go back numerous times in a day. So after the first couple of days, we just spent our "down times" in the parks baby care center.
That was my first time off property so I had nothing to compare it to. I have since stayed in Indian Creek and found that location much more convenient and was surprised how quickly I could get onto Disney property from there.
I suppose time of year and time of day would affect traffic patterns/perception of how long and far it takes. In other words, beyond mileage . . .time plays in.
