Liked that you could get on a boat to get to the parks...Didn’t like that they charged me extra for parking and didn’t tell me ..also don’t like that the parking is so far from the rooms..also the toilet didn’t work when we got there, they fixed it but was a inconvenience.The bathroom is so small you can’t change in there so make sure you are good with changing in front of who is in the room with you.

The ground around the property pretty and nicely kept. I like that there was a boat to take you to Epcot. It was centrally located near all the parks we were visiting.

The hotel was fabulous, typical of what one would expect from Disney! The rooms were very clean and the sheets crisp and white. My only complaint was that the tub drain was clogged and I needed to contact guest services twice to have the issue addressed.
