Hello! I love this place!!

My family & my sisters family are trying to plan a trip in early JUne/ Late May. We are looking at WL, POFQ or CB.



List of questions:
1. does WL, POFQ or CB have adjoining rooms? Are they are to get??
2. which is best for pools?
3. food court - does WL have one?
4. WL - how long are the bus rides to the park? Can you walk to MK??
5. CB - are the bus rides really 20 minutes to most parks

Throw out anything that might be helpful!
Thanks!!

WL has an awesome pool! There is a fast food type restaurant called Roaring Forks, as well as Artists Point and Whispering Canyon. We took the bus to Animal Kingdom, it ran quickly, about every 10 minutes. I think we shared with GF going there and made a stop at Blizzard Beach coming back. Not too long of a trip. The boat to the Magic Kingdom is the only way there. Too far to walk. If you really want to walk you could take the boat to CR and then walk or ride the monorail. We took the boat to MK, it went straight there. Took about 10 minutes. That boat is enclosed. There is also a seperate resort launch that is smaller and goes to FW and CR. It is not enclosed but has bench seating. We found the boats relaxing when we were there on Oct. 5. What's great about the pool at WL is the fact that the slide enters the pool in the shallow end, allowing small children to slide and not panic when they hit the water. There were lifeguards present when my girls swam. I don't know about any of the value resorts, we have never stayed there. If you're interested I have a photo of the WL pool from our balcony. I don't know how to post but I can e-mail it to you.
