1) The Gaylord Palms is a huge conference resort.
2) Although very big, it is also quite nice.
3) We eat at the Gaylord Buffet 3-4 times per year.
. . . twice per month we eat out at the local hotels
. . . the Gaylord has a superior buffet, especially on holidays
. . . we usually do it for Mother's Day, Christmas Day, Valentines Day, Easter
4) As for Disney
. . . the taxi is by far the best way to get to/from Disney
. . . there are taxis available at the hotel and Disney, so no problems
. . . the shuttle is very time-restricting, so I would not select it
