Our condo was really big and comfortable. The kitchen had everything I needed to make our meals. We enjoyed several of the pools, but found that we did need to get there early to get a table to sit at. Keep in mind that we were there during spring break, so it was busy. But the staff was so nice and helpful. We were able to see Disney's fireworks at night. We were delighted that the resort was just 30 minutes from Disney's Hollywood Studios. The resort is HUGE. If you don't have a car, the shuttle service around the resort is really helpful and the drivers are knowledgeable. Read less

Absolutely no complaints. We stayed in a two-bedroom villa which was great value for the price. The villa was updated, extremely comfortable, and had plenty of space to spread out. The pool was so much fun, and we didn't even explore all that the property has to offer. That brings me to my only negative comment: the property is quite spread out,… Read more
Absolutely no complaints. We stayed in a two-bedroom villa which was great value for the price. The villa was updated, extremely comfortable, and had plenty of space to spread out. The pool was so much fun, and we didn't even explore all that the property has to offer. That brings me to my only negative comment: the property is quite spread out, so it may not be necessarily walkable for some. However, there is a shuttle service that we saw frequently around the property. Additionally, there is no daily cleaning service, which could be a downside if that's important to you. Going forward, I think this will be our go-to for Orlando area stays. You just can't beat the value. Read less

A huge shoutout to Christina for finding the perfect spot for us,it made all the difference.The Fun Team also deserves major recognition for creating such an enjoyable atmosphere.

Do NOT buy a timeshare, no matter how good the sales pitch is! Timeshares are NOT a good value (good investment)! We had a problem at check-in . After driving hundreds of miles, we were told the resort had no record of a reservation in our name.

Do NOT buy a timeshare, no matter how good the sales pitch is! Timeshares are NOT a good value (good investment)! We had a problem at check-in . After driving hundreds of miles, we were told the resort had no record of a reservation in our name. This was despite the fact that my parents had paid an extra fee (typical of timeshare ownership; ALWAYS extra fees) to give us a "guest certificate" for a week stay. Luckily we had an email, verifying that the week had been transferred to us. Nevertheless, an unpleasant, scary start to our vacation! The unit was large, clean, comfortable and in a good location; however, there were a few issues about things that required attention. (For instance, the microwave did not work.) These matters did receive prompt attention from the resort staff; however, it was irritating to have to bother with such while on vacation. Read less
