Has anyone stayed at Seven Dwarfs Lane (Dream Villas)?

[NYTinkerbell]

I would like to know if anyone has stayed at Seven Dwarfs Lanes operated by Dream Villas. Please let me know the "good", the "bad", and the "ugly". I am particularly interested in knowing how long it took to drive to the parks as I have always stayed on Disney property. We will have four teenaged kids with us. Thanks!

My family and I spent a wonderful week on Seven Dwarfs Lane. I'm not exactly sure how long it took us to get to Disney's MGM or Animal Kingdom - maybe 20 - 30 minutes. We also visited Sea World while we were there. Dreams Villas are exceptional - especially with teenagers. We had only stayed on Disney Property prior to our visit of 17 - 24 Dec 07, when we stayed at the Dreams Villas. The kids had their own space, the place is very clean and seems almost brand new. Just read your instruction booklet to follow the check-out rules, and we received our deposit back within two days. I highly recommend!

We stayed there in May 2007. It was WONDERFUL!!! It looked brand new! Security was always present. Easy to find location. Close to everything. Took 20 minutes to get to Disney. I would definately stay there again. Have no complaints. It was so nice to have plenty of room for everyone. The pool and club house was clean. Very quiet. LOVED THE PLACE!!!

Thanks for the reply. Is there anything that you wished that you had brought along? What about beach towels? I don't want to pack them as they take up too much room.

We did not take beach towels either. Not enough room since we were all flying. We just used the towels that were provided. The were the nice big fluffy one.

I can't think of anything that we needed that we did not have. Sam's was just across the road and the Wal-Mart is just a mile or so away so it was easy to get anything that we needed - laundry detergent, groceries, snacks, drinks, etc... The extra detergent and dish soap and items like that we left for the next guests. I am not sure if the housekeeper left it in the room or not but we thought someone might appreciate it and besides it took too much room to pack it to send it home.

It is my intention to stay at Seven Dwarfs Lane again if/when we all return to Florida. It is hard to find a place that all of the kids (20, 19, 17, 12, 5) can enjoy, but we found it here!

We stayed ther last May and will be there again this May. I really liked the place. Close to everything but quite. We had everything we needed but since every unit is privately owned what is in each condo is different. Ours even had a cooler that we used quite a bit.
We stayed in a four bedroom and had more room than we needed. Our unit did not have a TV in each bedroom, only one in the living room and the downstairs master. The boys would have liked a TV in their bedrooms.

Interesting - our unit had a tv in the living room and one in each of the 4 bedrooms. Nice place to stay. I recommend.

I do appreciate the responses! Our rental is the week of April 12th. We have always stayed on Disney property so this is our first adventure off site. With four teens, I figured that we would need the room. I do expect to see a TV in every bedroom as that was how the unit was advertised. However, those kids better be outdoors and not in front the the TV anyways! We need warmth and sun after a cold, snowy winter!!! I will definately send a review of our stay after we get back....can't wait to go (except then it will be over, boo-hoo).
