Just a few questions:

Do they have flavored creamers for coffee?
Do they still have the cappacino machine?
Do they have organized activities by the pool?
What floors have laundry machines?
Shuttles to Universal?
Do they give tickets for breakfast or do you just show up?

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I haven't stayed here recently, I think two summers ago was the last time. I do remember they had the flavored creamers for your coffee, the two I remember were vanilla and hazelnut. Don't know about the cappucino machine. We never saw any kind of activities by the pool and we stayed there three years in a row, maybe we were just at the pool at the wrong time. There were several activities at night including family bingo, karaoke and a magician for the kids. I believe the laundry room was on the top floor, someone correct me if I'm mistaken on this. Not sure about the shuttles to Universal but I do know they had ones for Disney. For breakfast, you just show up I believe from 7am-11am. I don't think things have changed that much since I've stayed there, I hope this helped.

We were there in May and I'm sure I remember the laundry rm was on the top floor (6?) because unfortunatly I had to do laundry. This was in the East Track side and there was 2 laundry rooms, not sure which building.

We saw them doing activities at the East Track pool, things like musical chairs etc. We didn't go to the lap pool, and this is probably closed now for construction, however they did have planned activities there as well. We were given a schedule of all the activities when we checked in, so be sure to look for that.

Don't need tickets for Breakfast, in fact you don't even need to show up. Most mornings my DH and DS16 went and filled up themselves and then brought food back for Me and DS4 to eat in the room. We actually saw many people doing this.

Have a wonderful time!
 
Thanks for the info! the last time we stayed was in October and there were no organized "outside"activities.......I guess it depends on the season. I remember doing laundry but I don't know where? Hope the laundry is available on other floors! :teeth:

There is a laundry on the 6th floor building 10. Also there is one other laundry facility, however, I can't recall where.

The only reason I know the above is I had to use it last trip. Dh told me he packed plenty for himself, well he didn't, so I ended up doing laundry.

The dryers were extremely S_L_O_W. :(

Have a blast, by the way the bartender makes a GREAT frozen hurricane. :)
 
I just got back. I didn't see any flavored creamers for the coffee but I don't drink the stuff myself. I can't answer the cappacino machine question either.

During the day, they have organized activities by the pool. Check the activities list for the times.

The washing machines vary by building. We were in building 10 and they were on the 6th floor.

You just show up for breakfast. No tickets necessary. There is a lot of variety to choose from and certain things like potatoes and breakfast meats change daily.

Hope this helps.
 
Welcome Back mom0104!!!

How was you stay? Was the hotel crowded? The pool? Construction obvious?

Are you gonna write a trip report?


Inquiring minds want to know!
