We are staying offsite for a bit before really kicking off a trip to Disney with family. I had reserved for 3 nights at World Center and then read about the newly expanded "water park" at Gaylord Palms. I know the new parts of the water area at Gaylord Palms are extremely new, like in the last week or so, so it is unlikely that anyone on here will even have experienced it, but I understand that they added a lazy river kind of element. We have 2 kids, 8 and 13. Other than 1 day at DHS while we are offsite, we just really want to lounge around and hang out in the water and doing whatever family activities they have. It seems like both hotels have family stuff, movies, mini golf, I think, and water areas that are impressive in different ways. They are basically in approximately the same location so getting to DHS and back from either is pretty much the same.
Can anyone recommend one over the other? Has anyone had an especially excellent (or terrible) experience at either? We really just want the kids to be entertained and to have a clean, comfortable place to stay and relax before the insanity of being onsite at Disney for a week.
Thanks so much in advance! We haven't spent any time offisite in the Disney area (other than Universal hotels while at Universal, which I don't think really counts), so this is new and kind of fun for us!
