| We stayed here 5/27/08--6/2/08 and enjoyed the Lodge very much. We had booked a standard view room but received a free upgrade to a lodge view at check in. We were on the north side of the hotel and could see the Magic Kingdom fireworks every night.
The rooms were comfortable and fairly clean. Spacious compared to the moderate resorts where we usually stay. Beds were very comfortable.
Transportation was slightly spotty but better than the moderate resorts. We really enjoyed the boat to MK.
We ate several times at Roaring Fork--we thought the food was pretty good, and the portions were huge for what you pay.
The pool is heated, so it was a bit warm for our taste, but still a lot of fun. One note: while we were there, baby ducks were swimming in the pool. We enjoyed watching them, but this could be a problem if you have kids who will want to touch them.
Pros:
Great theme
Nice rooms
Convenient access to the parks, especially MK
Less expensive than other deluxe resorts
Cons:
A little mold in the bathroom
There is a shelf above the sinks--it gives extra storage space, but it's easy to knock your head on while brushing your teeth |
