We stayed there this summer for their $20.02 rate... best move we ever made!
The staff is terrific, very friendly and accomodating.
The lobby is very nice, with tables with umbrellas, a fountain, and a beautiful glass elevator.
The rooms are bigger than those at AKL... there are sliding glass doors onto nice sized balconies.
We overlooked the pool, and could see DTD and in the distance the Swan and Dolphin. At night, you could see the high fireworks from Illuminations.
There are 2 queen sized beds in each rooms, and they were comfortable... more so than some I have had at WDW. There are also 2 sinks in the rooms, a safe, internet access, cable TV, with HBO, for free.
Every weekday from 4-6 is a managers party in the lobby bar, "The Tipsy Parrot" where they have complimentary soda, beer, wine, nachos and popcorn. There is a character by name of "Tipsy Parrot" there to entertain the kids. My DD was more impressed with him than Mickey Mouse---lol!
There are 2 regular sized heated pools, a kiddie pool, a hot tub and a small playground.
Although we didn't use the bus service, we didn't hear any complaints.
There is a full service restaurant, with a breakfast buffet for $7.99 as well as counter service in the lobby. The gift shop is run by Disney, and has souveniers, as well as sundries.
Housekeeping was very good, the room was always spotless, and smelled fresh.
You will receive a complimentary copy of USA Today at your door every morning.
There is also a gym, if you are interested in working out.
YOu will be within walking distance to DTD and Crossroads Shopping Center, where you will find a McDonalds, TGIFriday's, Red Lobster, and other restaurants, if you want to to a break from on property food.
Hey, I don't think you could get a better deal anywhere else... if they were still offering that rate when we are going in October, I would be very tempted!
