I have owned 3 weeks at Liki Tiki since 1992, and have been many times. I don't think it's far at all to the parks, maybe 10 minutes tops to Animal Kingdom via Sherberth Road. We find there is always more than enough to do, between the water park, two pools/hot tubs, paddle boats, and bikes/basketball/tennis/shuffleboard etc. We travel with a group of all ages, from babies to toddlers to teens to young adults to seniors, and we do as much or as little as we like, using it as a home base to visit all central Florida has to offer. I'll admit that some units are much nicer than others, but the new ownership is making a lot of upgrades throughout the property.
