Tips for Kaleidoscope Condominium complex?

[tdk316]

Just rented a condo for the week 6/28-7/5/14 and wondering about any tips/tricks from anyone who has stayed there before. We'll have four of us, two adults and two boys (5 & 7). One boy has ASD. Thanks!

As an aside, had a kid suite room booked at HoJo and this was a lot cheaper and has w/d, full kitchen, two bedrooms, etc. Thought we'd give it a try.

We've stayed there 2 times and are staying there again on our upcoming Feb. trip. It has worked out great for us. We really enjoy having all the space when we are ready for down time. The kids kind of spread out upstairs while my dh and I can relax together in the living room.

We get up in the morning and catch the tram over at Mickey and Friends. We've always had little ones in a stroller and the walk seemed to be just fine for us. Maybe about a 10 min. walk to the tram for us. We've never walked straight over to DTD, but we may do that this time around. We go to the parks early and then back to the condo mid afternoon for a rest and then gone back over for the evening. Depending on where your unit is, you can also see some of the fireworks (you can definitely hear the booms).

One thing we are planning on doing this time is having groceries delivered to our unit instead of renting a car. We are also hoping to do more of our dinners in the unit this time as we have under utilized the kitchen in the past.

Hope it works out as good for your family as it has for us.
