    TV Advert

    Another vote for DLP, I would guess it's the hotel at the front gate (disneyland hotel?) From the contempary the castle would be much further away. Ben

    Offsite Hotel info reguested

    I stayed here for a few nights, definately not recommended!! They had some serious problems with my credit card! The room I stayed in smelt like a sewer. Almost opposite is Emerald Island Resort, do yourself a favour and stay there for less than a hundred bucks a night. Ben

    Warm pool at Emerald Island, Windsor Palms or Formosa gardens?

    The Emerald Island Pool thermo switch is right by the side of the pool, it was a bit cool when we got there but I just cranked it up. It stayed that way the whole time. Ben.

I would allow 20 to 30 minutes to Sea World and Universal depending on...

    Hi Ted, I got $80 plus tax, which was a great rate for Emerald Island, when we stayed at Somerset I payed $110 plus tax! I could not agree more about resorts changing etc. But I wonder if it is just the fact that the newer resorts are just so much nicer each time one goes up? We have also...

    Although I tend to agree with most things Ted says particularly the central pool with a toddler (he seems very knowledgable and sensible) I have to disagree about Villas of Somerset, for the price that you get charged there I would go to Emerald Island there does not seem to be much difference...
