The Mouse For less Tip: They do have the refillable mugs.

Comments: When we checked in they knew it was our anniversary, thanks to Deb at MFLtravel, they not only upgraded us to a lagoon view in a Dormer room with a cathedral ceiling but they also sent champagne,wine glasses and a signed Minnie and Mickey photo wishing us a happy anniversary! It was awesome and very unexpected. They treat you like a king and queen while staying with them. For us, the price was well worth it. And we will never stay off the monorail again.

Don't Miss: Enjoying the piano music or band in the beautiful lobby.

Room Location Suggestion: We were in Big Pine Key which was a short walk to the main building.

The Mouse For less Tip: Use TMFL travel agency to help you find a great package or code.

Comments: This hotel is very elegant and classy. It is Victorian themed from the fresh, fragrant flowers throughout the lobby to the lace curtains in the rooms. Although a beautiful hotel, it did not offer a lot to hold the younger children's interest. We enjoyed the resort and found the proximity to MK via monorail very helpful with strollers. As much as we enjoyed the level of service at this hotel, our thinking though, is that there are better themed hotels on property. There are elegant hotels all over the world and many people may want a different feel while at Disney.
