I just had this pop-up on my computer....
It is good for August thru November. Aug.1 - Nov. 30

The price sounds right!
With free shuttle to Disney.

Has anyone stayed here???

Just a note, the hotel is located in the 2200 block of
Hwy 192, which is quite aways down 192 from WDW.

According to Google maps, it's 16.2 mi (about 26 mins.) away from Downtown Disney.

And of course there's also a $12 per day resort fee. So the $59 price that's quoted is actually $71 per night. And since it's so far away from WDW, I wouldn't depend on the "free" shuttle. I'd rather drive. And depending on your vehicle's mpg, each roundtrip could be another $6 to $7 worth of gas at today's high gas prices.

Way to burst the bubble. To the OP, I have not stayed there but friends did an raved about it.

Hey, no problem... Garmich has posted valid information!

This was really not just for me, but for any DISers who were looking at a short trip on a budget.

Another poster saw the same promo, and there is another exact thread here... Apparantly there is also some pretty bad feedback out there, regarding the area location, etc..

So, there is the good and the bad!
