We checked in on Wednesday June 8 around 11am. The line for checkin was 15 family deep and I do mean long. I thought oh-no here we go with the waiting game, but was I wrong. Only took total 15 min from line entry to being completly checked in. WOW that was service. Our rooms was not ready but was given a number to call after 3pm and they should be ready. The CM that checked us in was very nice he stated "I see you need Non-smoking for medical needs. You got it. The room is also connecting as you requested." Great got what we wanted. I booked 2 rooms (the first room DH DS7 DS14 myself, Second room DS18 and girlfriend18 is how they split the room so we wouldn't have to pay extra fee for the adult.) in doing so DS18 had to check in also. I thought this was strange since I was the one responsible for the payment. Had to have DH find DS18 to finish checking-in because he was looking around the arcade and gift shop. With that delay in check-in it was still only 15 min. We were given the 50's right under the jukebox room 2146 and 2147. We went to find our rooms and park our van in the 50's parking lot. We were on the first floor 2nd and 3rd door past the jukebox door facing the lake. Nice and close to the rear 50's parking lot which was less crowded. The rooms were not ready but were easy to find.
We called at 3:30 and the rooms were ready off to Move in to our new home.
Our rooms was nice and clean. Iron and iroing boards in both rooms. Hair dryers installed in both rooms. Once you set the reset button on the hairdryer they became a nightlight. Dresser had 3 large drawers, 3 small drawers, and three shelves lots of space plus the top. Also held a TV with front hookup ports. Bath soap, facial soap ,and shampoo in little bottles Ya!! We were glad to see no despencer in the shows like the ASMo had in 2003. I forgot to order frig called and was delivered in 10 min. along with 6 extra towels which we didn't ask for. What a nice touch from the housekeeping crew. Extra Kudos for her service. We did receive 2 towel art while there. One was a bunny and the other was an Arial Purse which was to cute.
On to the buses. Well they were excellant only waited 10 min or less. It seemed even at park closing there were lined but moved us out fast. That being said we have stayed at the YC, POR, and ASMo and the POP had the best bus service we have ever had. With a close 2nd from POR.
Noise level: We didn't here any noise from the pool area but had some foot traffic slapping feet and talking. Nieghbors in the next room went to PI several nights getting in at 3am woke us up a couple of times. Did hear toilets flush. showers being taken, things being dropped in tub, but nothing we weren't able to get use to once we were exhausted from a full day in the parks. We also had brought our fan from home to drown out noises and it worked great.
Refillable mugs were great. Icee were not very good but everything else was.
We ate several meals here and everyone agreed the pizza was not good. DH also had the sloppy-joe and said it was different but not bad. We didn't care for the green beans to many onions and we like onions. The buttermilk fried chicken, shrimp lo mein, burgers, chicken strips, chicken noodles,and BBQ pork dinner was all great. Kids big breakfast and cinnimon rolls also good.
Check-out Saturday June 18 no wait walk right up a 630am done in 2 min.
Sorry so long winded. We had a wonderful time and would stay here again. But so little time so many resorts to choose from and we have plenty to go before we chose a final destination of the best resort for us. Where should we try next year? Maybe GF. One can dream can't she.
