Thanks for sharing your recent experience! Good to hear about current conditions since we're going back in June, (this time for 8 nights at SOG, pretty excited, and reading your report just upped the excitement factor
That's too bad about Evergreens though. We were last in June 2021 and had a great experience there (and once before the shutdown). Hopefully, it'll return and get back to being better.
We've always found the breakfast buffet to be slow checking in, so that hasn't changed pre-COVID it sounds like.
Our now 15 YO loves SOG, even when she was younger and having stayed at several WDW resorts since her first WDW visit, SOG is still her favorite and preferred resort (that shocked me esp after we splurged for a couple of nights at Contemporary which I thought she'd love. She said SOG was better.)
Edited to add, I lost this sentence when I quoted the wrong post, but I'm glad you all had a great time!
