Just returned from a 2 night stay. We got our wish of connecting rooms and were pixie dusted from the standard view rooms we booked to rooms overlooking one of the pools in the boca chica building.
Front desk was a little iffy, we had some issues at check in that made check out a little bit of a hassle. Bell services in the portico was EXCELLENT tho, really got our quick vacay off on the right foot.
Our rooms were pretty worn. A big tear in the couch and mold in the shower. The furniture in general seemed pretty worn out. Not enough to request to move, but for the cost, noticible. The AC in one of the rooms was also noticeably better than the other (it was my room that was better so definitely no complaints haha) boca chica building has a great fireworks view from the patio on the water. No music, but we could see most of the fireworks and tinker bell making her flight.
We booked here for the access to magic kingdom with a 2 year old and 1 year old, and it was great, no monorail hiccups for us, and we got our own car on 2 out of the 3 monorail trips.
Feature pool was great, kids loved the zero entry. Much preferred the big pool to the splash pad (our 2 year old princess got VERY scared at the hat full of water that dropped.) I think at this time next year they will LOVE the splash pad. Pool bar was great, I noticed most of the cabanas were empty.
Nothing can top my first Grand Floridian stay (pixie dusted to main building club level with theme park view) but it is such a beautiful resort, and so convenient with little kids and babies.

WTG on posting pics. Looks like you had a nice trip thanks for the review. Love the lounge pics. Happy to see bigger tables with more than 2 chairs. I will be there in 34 days!!
