Mar 21, 2023Nice for a large family
I like the layout of the room and with 4 teens and 2 parents it was big enough for all to sleep. The 2 bathrooms are nice. The disappointment was being told that your phone will do everything for you. I could not get into the building with my phone, because you need a separate key for the building. Another guest let us in. We did get into our room with our phone. I went to guest services and was given a key to park at the parks for free and told that the phone opens the doors. I still could not get into the building. Another trip to guest services and I was told that I was given the wrong info. The phone only opens the room. You need a separate key to open the building, get into the parking at the park and the parking at the room and then tickets to the park. I finally got all that fixed on our 3rd day of aggravation and someone else letting us in. I also needed toliet paper. It was never refilled. I called at 7 am for toliet paper and at 9pm , we still did not have toliet paper. 2 phone calls later, being disconnected and waiting for an other hour, I finally got toliet paper. 13 hours for paper is ridiculous, so bring some from home in case they cant get it to you. For over $750/night, you'd think we could get toliet paper.

Mar 19, 2023Wonderful stay
Very pleased with our stay! We arrived at 7am, were going to drop off our luggage as checkin is at 3pm. As soon as we got thru the entrance gate, got a phone notification that our room was ready. Decided to stop at front desk to verify. Boys were amazed with the lobby. It is spectacular- everything is so glossy and the bigger than life artwork everywhere. Greeted immediately and he assured our room was indeed ready and made sure all 4 magic bands appeared to be linked to room and park tickets. Here for 7 days, everything was clean, our room was cleaned 3 times- trash emptied and fresh towels and our beds were made twice. Comfy beds, good showers. We had the suite with 2 bathrooms. I had enough space to do my exercise on quest vr each day. Enough storage for our stay. Plenty of outlets and usb. Our boys loved the pool. On 4th floor in building 10, didn’t have any issues with extra noise. Lines at skyliner were long in the early morning but still able to make it for the extra 30min for resort guests. Did minnie van to magic and also did bus- all good. Very happy with the laundry facilities. It is $3.25 for wash and same to dry- thought it would be way more than that!! There is powder detergent and bounce sheets in machine for $1. All equipment worked well and fast. Saw one washer out of order and saw the serviceman the next day. We had coffee everyday from the quick service- it was very good. The only other thing we got from there was ice cream bars. The ride on the skyliner is so pretty during the day and night. We always wanted the unwrapped ones so our view would be good. Nice to return to our room after a long day in the park. We walked around every area - there is more theming in the cars area. All done so well. Loved the birds that would say “Mine! Mine!” every 15min. Lyft will come to your area in resort- just select from dropdown. Would be a dream for young kids, but great for all ages. Really enjoyed our stay and real kudos to the housekeeping team- one night they did a bowtie with the blanket on our bed. Smores on certain nights and movies at the pool. It was perfect for us!!!

Mar 11, 2023Not impressed , bring earplugs .
We paid $600 for 2 nights , and both nights were kept up by loud guests above us first night and outside the second night . Seems windows are not insulated well. Called the hotel for late checkout due to trying to nap, or some type of apology and got nothing . Even at the parks the staff at a restaurant in Hollywood were rude , seems like Disney has lost some magic. We will stay off property at Embassy or a Hilton next time we come to Orlando.

Your Kids (and you) will love it!
Our son (who has autism) picked this resort to visit and we stayed in one of the Cars themed suites. Our son was over the moon. Be prepared for a lot of kids, but overall the rooms are comfortable and all the amenities are close at hand. We loved being able to catch the bus to the parks or use the Skyliner. We did have an issue, but Shelby and the manager helped us out 110%! We were amazed and grateful for the truly over and beyond help they provided. Disney has our loyalty!!! Also, the food was good, the pools lovely and the movies at night, just perfect.

Excellent resort!
My daughter and I have stayed at a few of the Disney resorts. This is by far our favorite one! It is SO cute, inside and out!! The room (Nemo) was awesome! Having an extra bathroom is super nice. The beds (in the bedroom & the table bed) were very comfortable. We enjoyed taking the Skyliner to Hollywood Studios and Epcot. The day we went to the Magic Kingdom the line for the bus was fairly long, but the buses came on schedule and we were there in no time. This will be our go to resort for future visits.
