Woohoo! So I am here now and taking a little siesta on the balcony.
I'll make a few comments now and post pics later when I get back.
We are in a 4 bedroom presidential. We are in tower 3 on the top floor (9th for this building). I read on here that tower 3 is the last tower to be updated, scheduled in March. So that makes this an older one and I can see that about it. Some of the furniture is a bit worn. The living room has a flat screen but the bedrooms have old TVs. The appliances are not stainless steel, though still look nice. My bed doesn't have a fitted sheet. Someone tucked a flat sheet up under it. The towels are very old...I have better towels in my home. This unit does not have the Bose surround sound. And I don't have that cool computer thing on my wall. If I had known any of that prior to coming I would been obsessing about it.
But honestly, the place is pretty freaking nice despite all that and we are all completey happy. I ended up getting the place off ebay for $185 a night. We've stayed in several 4 star resorts in the area and for $185 a night, this place is a steal! It looks way better in person than in the pics, and the pics out there look pretty good! This will likely be our place of choice from now on.
We have a perfect view of the fireworks and they are MUCH closer than I expected. Everyone's photos make them look a lot further away than they really are.
The balcony is my favorite part so far. It is really long on the presidential and the lounge chairs are super comfy. We just sat out here last night and watched both Wishes and Illuminations. Pretty awesome.
I love the jacuzzi tubs too! Except I didn't realise they turn on 15 minutes after you get out to self dry. We freaked out thinking the jets came on and it was gonna burn up the motor. I ran water in it to try and cover the jets. Only to have it try to dry itself again 15 minutes later. We repeated this panicky scenario 3 times before my DH saw the card that I neglected to read letting me know this is normal. I felt really stupid and he agreed that I should feel really stupid.
The pools are lovely! And yes there are tons of choices for toddlers. Most have zero entry depth. My kids especially love the mini golf. My littlest thinks the giant chess set is awesome.
They had karoke last night at the next tower. It was interesting listening to the 3 drunk girls try to sing Justin Bieber's "Baby". DH is praying they don't do this every night.
Lets's see what else.....
I checked in early at 10:00 no problems. Sales guy didn't bother me at all. I just said no. He said, "No what?" I said, "No, I am not buying...we live too close." And he left me alone, lol. I don't know if they have tried to call or not. The wired internet cord is not working so we stole the phone's cord to access the internet....so our phone is unplugged.
The shuttle bus has been great! Not crowded at all, but maybe that's because it's January. They come every 30 minutes during the busier times for each park. Now that it's dinner time, they come every hour...but leave the parks every 30 minutes. Plus they are accomidating....
My 5 year old and I went to rope drop. The first shuttle returning doesn't start until 12:20. But my son had an upset stomach and we needed to get back. I went to the bus area and waited until they came to drop people off at MK. I asked if she would let us get on and she did, no questions asked. The Bonnet buses do have a tip jar so I tipped her for that.
Our place is freaking huge and I don't want to go home....ever.
Okay, I think that's all for now.
Time to get ready for O'Hana's! First time going there.
Although my goal is to get over my fear of swimming and take lessons too, we'll see if I can really make that happen! 
Anyone remember how deep the pools were, especially if you had kids that age who were beginning swimmers?
GO PATS!
