Here now having a great time and just wanted to submit a positive report
Room - 1652 - we arrived very very late 11pm on Saturday night and as I knew the resort was full we wouldn't get a room but we got exactly what I requested which admittedly was only alligator bayou, top floor, we didn't really care where, so we were very excited to get building 16. It's meant to be a garden view but as its on an inner corner it really just looks up a corridor, though you can sort of see garden - note we don't care and only got garden view as it was all that was available with our AP special.
Beds - no bugs, queens are a bit too soft and Murphy a bit hard, but still both quite comfortable after a big park day.
TV - great reception, but 81 channels and nothing to watch!
Wifi - no issues, the best we get is two bars and that is on one bed, the other bed only gets one bar, believe DS has done a full investigation of every inch of room, but he can still watch his YouTube videos so he is happy - we are not sure this is a great thing!
Mouse keeping - been absolutely fine, no issues with cleanliness or timing, the room has been done every day by the time we return around 4pm.
Buses - had a seat every ride and the longest wait we had was on our first day to DHS, but even that was less than 20mins, it was frustrating to see 3 MK buses while waiting though. Our bus stop is south depot and each time we had an empty bus show up there. On return trips from all parks it has been POFQ then west depot then all way round to south depot. Yesterday we had a race DH got off at west depot, and me and DS stayed on to SOuth depot, DH was first back at room, even with DS running from bus stop it took him 1 minute to get thee but DH beat him. Me at a slow plod after full park day took 2.5 minutes. The bus tv in south depot is hilarious as every 30 seconds it updates the times and so apart from knowing there is definitely a bus on the way, it doesn't really help with the exact time a bus will come, it can be many minutes out. We make a game out of predicting which bus will actually get there first.
Food court - first night at around 6:30 pm very crowded, and as DS likes make your own pasta we always have long wait, first night probably took 30 minutes, last night though again around 6:30pm it took around 20minutes. But there have been lots of tables available every night.
Arcade - love it, lots to do for DS8 - we have to ration the amount of points he can use each visit or we will go broke.
laundry - great very close and fast, but why this doesn't use magic bands and room charge is strange to me, have to use credit card.
Pool - ok, this is my only disappointment, they are cold, the water in them is cold. I know you are thinking why go swimming in December but we are from Tasmania Australis and so while all you forum people are talking about needing jumpers and gloves we are wandering around in tshirts. It is quite warm for us. But the pool water is just too cool for a long swim, we have lasted 30 minutes and we have tried main pool and quiet pool.
Overall, super happy, this is our second visit, and glad we returned and would again
