Just back! Great trip booked through Vacation Upgrades. Ken and Denise were super easy to work with, great prices. Stayed in a 1 bedroom with my husband and 2 kids who slept on the pullout. Worked out great! LOVED having the kitchen (mickey waffles and smoothies for breakfast, super easy!), the extra space, the big bathtub was a big hit, and taking home all clean laundry was awesome.
Ordered and loved Flippers pizza, just had to run down to the door to get it, resort wont let them come in buildings. Pizza and breadsticks were awesome!
Wish we'd planned an extra day to play at the resort, we didnt check out playground or mini golf but liked the pools. Didn't love the lifeguard at the slide pool, he was really unkind to my daughter who was really too little to be on the slide but we didn't realize it until she'd already tried. So somewhat our fault but he spoke to her extremely harshly and unkindly. We just left and went back to the pool by the main lobby with the zero entry, lazy river, etc and were all good.
Definitely still felt 'in the bubble' and loved having the flexibility of a car. we were 8-20 minutes door to door to each park, super close to eat at resorts or disney springs.
ETA forgot to mention, since its much talked about here, we arrived at 11pm so the parking desk was closed. They called once the next day and asked if we talked to someone at parking desk and I just said "we're all good on that" she asked who we talked to and I was honest "We didn't go by there, but we aren't going to do all that, thanks" and she immediately got message and just said "ok, have a great day!" and we never heard from them again. No problems, no unplugging phone!
I saw so many people on these dragging tours around the resort - don't do it!!
We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
