Didn’t meet my expectations
Unfortunately, I didn’t get the same magical experience at this resort as I have from others. The fees to park on property $36 and then the resort fee of $45 and the taxes on these fees make it highly unlikely that I will stay here again. The shower products were an extremely masculine scent it felt like I smelled like my husband all day. The lobby was under construction and it just didn’t feel like a Disney property. We had to call on the way out because there was no way for us to get out without paying again or having our room keys which we already turned in.

Terrible experience. Room smelled so badly. Assuming that the lack of the AC caused it. Phone in room broken and when I went to report it downstairs, they said someone would come to fix and it’s 24 hours and no one has been to my room. We asked for more covers soon after check in and we didn’t get them either. This felt like a 2 star resort. Dirty and ghetto services

Got here at 4pm which is their check in time. Room not ready. We had been at the pool and had to meet friends for dinner at Epcot. So we did get to take showers in the gym but the gym sowers were gross and did drain. Our room wasn’t ready till 6pm. Just unacceptable.
