Staying at Mariott Orlando Wld Center for 3 nites (FREE!) how is it and any tips??

[IowaGirl]

I won 3 free night certificates thru work for many Mariott locations, and the Orlando World Center is one of them, so I have it booked for our trip in June.
How is it, will it be fun for our 14yr old and 9 yr old?
Any tips on what to make sure we check out? It looks huge and nice, so I was looking for opinions...
We are going in June staying there and at the Royal Pacific (not free ). When I tried to add a fourth day to the Orlando World Center, they were all booked up, so I am concerned about it being crowded...
Let me know what you think!
Thanks!

Congrats! The pool area is awesome, your kids are at a perfect age to enjoy that! Also, there was a mini-golf area behind the hotel, not sure if it is still there or not?

IowaGirl,
Sounds like we are on the same vacation plan. I've got a thread just above this or now below this one. All reports have been positive with the exception of the construction possibly going on and that you have to park a long ways away.

We're doing POR June 7-14 then RPR Club 14-18 & then Marriott World Center th 18-21st. Look for our Green Mickey heads and say howdy to coachyo & family if you are around.

WoW!
We will be at the Orlando World center June 16, then RP 17-20 and then back again at the Orlando World Center June 21-23.
I can't wait!
It will be full though. I tried to change my 16th date to the 20th and was going to move my RP dates around, but no go, the Orlando World center was full!!!!
We will look for the green Mickey heads!
