Check in they didn’t have correct room reservation/beds. I wax assured we would have 2 double beds and sofa bed. Room only had 2 double beds. A bit uncomfortable but we made it work. Check out a bit of a nightmare. Waited about 40 mins for bellman to come get our bags. Even went down to bell desk after having called. The person running the desk was rude and r rn arguing g with the Concierge. I understand it was busy but it definitely was not “the happiest place on earth” that day.

Could be Better
Was in Disney Parks for work/pleasure (mostly work). This giant property’s Parking policies are HORRIBLE and costly. The additional resort fee is expensive too. Non valet parkers ate forced to park in a remote section of the hotel. All of the the closer lots on the property are blocked off for valet use, forcing guests to pay even more ($40 a day) for parking with no in/out privileges. Disney transportation from this property is sketchy (not reliable). waited over an hour for a bus to see a Disney Springs performance and missed it.

Nice hotel - not great for families
The hotel itself was nice. However, this property isn’t owned by Disney anymore. So if you’re looking for a full Disney experience, this isn’t it. The staff wasn’t very helpful when we were trying to find amenities such as the pool. We were told “we don’t know, we don’t manage the property” when we asked where we could find the pool. There were also resort fees and parking fees, so that’s something to take into consideration when booking. The price you pay for the room is not all inclusive. Overall, it is a nice clean space. However if you’re visiting with children and wanting a Disney experience, this isn’t it and you should book a true Disney hotel.
