just got back last night. 8 nights. let me tell you.. I have chnaged my mind about the touchdown section! I really disliked it when we were in it 1 night a few years back. thought it was too noisy and didn't like the suishy grounds.
well,we were given 1st floor bldg 1. it was wayin the back and very dark (esp for my hubby with low vision) and a long wak (for him with his back issues) to a DSA.. and the walk tot he pool would invlove hime most likely running into all the laundrycarts.. I went to the front desk and they gave me bldg 7 corner room 1st floor.. it was GREAT!!! BRIGHT !! CHEERY! funny how your own opinions can change over the years.. not noisy at all very close to the DSA by the back door of the food court. near a gate to the surf's up pool. we LOVED it!
I aske aboutt eh gift card in lieu of housekeeping and was told "not yet" for sports. we only encountered the 15's once.. about 25 of them were in front of our table at the pool and we couldn't hear the piped in music since one of them was blasting their music on an I pod. really. i fyou want to listen to your own choice of music, that's what ear buds are for.
I thought the food court had been refurbished recently.. we were pretty disappointed in the choices.. all ears net showed a "pick your own pasta" section, but it wasn't there. only 2 choices, chicken penee pasta or spaghetti and meatballs.
we also dislike that the pool doesn't o[pen till 10 am and closes early. but the homerun pool didn't open till even later and closed at like 8 or something.
not many tables at the surfs inn pool 7 poolside.. you had to be there at 10 am or within 10 minutes to get one.. plenty open by homerun pools. too bad they have such short hours.. and it would be great if they had a coke freestyle machine nearby.
but the CMS were wonderful!!! a particular shout out to SEAN in the gift shop.. always was ready with my orlando sentinel or go back to lok for one for me. while I would NOT want to be back in tennis or hoops. and would only want to be in homerun if the pool hours were lengthened and there was a refill station I would recommend sports if you pay preferred.
h the afternoon buses were spotty.. long waits. but the bus drivers did very well with my hubby in a wheelchair
