Don't Miss: Stormalong Bay!!! The pool was outstanding. The lazy river, hot tubs, whirlpool (a real whirlpool) and slide. The slide was closed for 3 days but we enjoyed it while it was open. We also did the Cape May character breakfast and it was great - good character interaction and good food. At night, they show movies on the beach and for a small fee, you can have s'mores at the campfire. Good park transportation. We enjoyed a quick boat trip to the Boardwalk and watching Epcot's fireworks nightly from the pier. It was very nice to be able to walk to Epcot and especially, to be back in the room only 10 minutes after the end of Illuminations, instead of an hour wait and bus ride back to other resorts. Art the Greeter was so nice as were the majority of cast members.

Room Location Suggestion: A water view if you can afford it.

The Mouse For less Tip: Eat breakfast in your room, there is a mini fridge for milk, etc.

Comments: Our only 2 negatives regarding this resort is that there is no food court (the gift shop has a VERY limited selection of sandwiches and breakfast items) and we were disappointed with Beaches and Cream. We were really looking forward eating there and should have just stuck with ice cream. We ate lunch and for 2 adults and 2 children, the bill came to $73 with tip! Plus, the service was terrible - it took an hour and 45 minutes for our "fast food". The server dropped glass dishes twice, the second time a piece of glass hit my husband's arm (we were 3 tables away) and the management didn't seem too concerned. We also had a "glass incident"at the pool. Someone dropped a glass which shattered. When the lifeguard was told, they swept up the glass they could see but didn't vacuum and there were still little shards around. BUT the positives far outweigh the negatives and we will definitely stay there again!
