Hi from one N.Orleanian to another.
I think that you'll find the resort fine. I spent one night at the Wyndham in Nov. 2003 and really started my vacation off wonderfully. I decided to add a night onto my FTP on both sides and bid on priceline. I got the Wyndham at DTD. I flew in and checkedin around noon and was bumped up to a suite on the 5th floor of the main hotel (it was a handicapped bathroom but so very large). The hotel was very nice. I did get something to eat in the deli (prices about same as you'll find on Disney), I ordered room service for dinner and certain was found that nice in the pool and large whirlpool on recreation island. I didn't use there bus service as I walked to DTD to go shopping that day. You will have maybe a 300 foot walk through the hotel and over recreation island then cross the street to DTD and the buses are right there. A short walk past them brings you to the backside of the Christmas store in DTD. I had so much fun there and the hotel really did have a nice atmosphere and was very convenient to Disney property. I agree with the above poster, go out in the a.m. and feed the turtles the left overs, they are so cute, we had a few ducks as well.
Have a great vacation.
