Wow! The staff ....from the front desk to the shuttle coordinator to the cafe attendant to the folks around the property, always making things neat and tidy...were all friendly, smiling and helpful. Getting to the parks was a breeze. They had a coherent pickup and drop off system. And the food was delicious and the stores well stocked.The room was comfortable and well appointed. I can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend.
