We just arrived home today from our two week trip. My friend and I are already in the post Disney sadness.
We really enjoyed the resort. We ate there a number of times, also took the boat over to Riverside twice to eat at Boatwrights. Beignets a few times lol. We went to the lounge one night, but there was only 2 people working (one serving and one making drinks). I felt bad they were both ran off their feet but by the time we got our drinks I was ready to leave.
We were in building 4 and loved how it was close to everything. The first few (four) days we had to be searching for housekeeping, but after that we seemed to get the regular every two days.
Buses for the most part were great. Only time they weren't was for typhoon lagoon. Wish we had just ubered. We showed up at the bus stop at 9:15, 6 other groups already there waiting. The busy didn't show until 10:25. So much for getting there close to opening, and since you first have to go to DS it was late. Like barely could find a chair to put our bag. I'm a ropedrop person so this kinda put a cramp in my day to start with.
We loved the pool, wish it was a little deeper in parts but it was a great way to relax at the end of the day.
My only complaint about the property is the shower lol. Water pressure is non existant. I have thick hair and omg it took me FOREVER to shampoo twice. And the water started out so cold. (and most of the time I was just home from the park and didn't want it hot) I just felt it was ironic that the card in the bathroom asks you to reuse a towel to help save water but we had to waste gallons of water just waiting for the water to become warm enough to be willing to stand under it without freezing
But the hair dryer in the room was great and I was happy I didn't pack my own.
Thanks to everyone here for answering my questions to help get myself ready for our trip. This was the right place to stay. The size, especially after park days in August, was a huge help.
