I'll post some pics tomorrow after I upload!

This place is GREAT!!!! LOVED it!! I took DS (10) and we stayed in a studio, which was perfect for us for 3 nights (free with Marriott reward points). We had a room with a view of the Pirate Plunge Pool, on the top floor. It wasn't ready when we arrived (around 1pm), so we hung out at the pool for a few hours. They have non-stop activites scheduled for the kids. Wii competition, bingo, pool games, movie nights, kids morning out, kick ball, dodge ball, etc. Both pools are awesome! There is a large waterslide on the Pirate Plunge side (adults can ride too!). We paid for the unlimited mini golf for the duration of the stay..kind of boring IMO, but DS loves mini golf and had fun. The playground was great, clean and safe. They have gas grills with plenty of tables.

My only complaint is housekeeping. Saturday I opted for no service since we had plenty of towels, etc. Sunday we went to Sea World, returned around 5pm and our room still wasn't cleaned. I called, was told she was new and slow. I asked for toiletries and towels and those were brought up quickly by someone else, and she knocked on my door to clean at almost six. I said forget it at that point.

We can't wait to go back!!
 
Here are some pics and I can try to take a pic of the activity schedule if anyone wants me to, since I brought it home. They had free popcorn in the welcome center on Friday night and Captain Horizons made an appearance.

That looks really fun! Did you go to Disney at all? I'm wondering how long the drive is.

No we didn't, but I think it's only 20 minutes max I overheard someone saying. I've never went to WDW and stayed offsite, but I think in the future I will and stay here! I had also never rented a car and was surprised just how convenient it was with Alamo, and how nice it was to not have to wait for the shuttle for ME to fill up!
 

Thanks! How much was the mini golf pass? I think we're going to stay here since DD is obsessed with pirates and will LOVE the boat with the slides. :)

$25 for everyone in the room for your entire stay, or $5 per play per person.
 
We did 8 days at horizons in Jan. Loved it, kids especially. It's 15 minutes tops to the parks.
 
What great pix! Thanks for sharing! Is the mini golf $25 for the whole family for the week or $25 for each person?

Anyone have any idea how long it takes to get from there to the Disney parks? We would like to return to our room at least a few days to let the kids have naps - most of our time would be at MK but we do plan to also visit AK, EP and DHS. THANKS!
