We are here and loving it! It is so beautiful. Sure there is construction going on but it is no problem, you dont hear a thing from that area. Visually its not that appealing, but then we knew it was going to be there, so how could we possibly let that bother us. The Springs area is going to be very desirable.
We are in the last building to open and even strolling, it took us less than 10 mins to get to the main areas. The walk was lovely along the way. There is a temporary bus stop at the Carriage House and the bus will stop there from Congress Park if you don't want to walk. When the resort is finished there will be an internal bus.
I like the hallways, a nice combo of outside and inside. I definitely say I have no idea how anyone could find them dark, we were almost blinded by the bright lighting.
You can hear the fireworks, but no other noise from PI. Views are lovely along the waterway.
Landscaping, Disney has never done this much in a new resort. Some of the plants and trees look like they have been here for years.
Cast Members have been wonderful. We had a light out, they were in 10 mins. to change it.
The walkway to DD is right at our building and a very pleasant stroll.
We ate lunch at Artist's Palette and really liked it. If you are a fried food person it will not appeal to you. If you like gourmet sandwiches, soups and salads, it's great. We found it a refreshing change from some of the junk served elsewhere. There were some really nice dessert choices.
Watches, they had 4 left when we went by the store. Not all locations got the same amount of watches.
The public areas, check in, etc are still a work in progress. It looks great now but will be even better soon.
We will definitely be back.
If you have questions please ask I will try to answer, but we are not going to spend too miuch time at the computer, and miss all the fun here.
