Very Nice
The rooms are comfortable, grounds are maintained to the high Disney standards. Service was top notch. On-site bus and boat service to the nearby attractions make this a very convenient place to stay.

Tips to make your travel easier
We made our reservation too late to take advantage of the free luggage transfer by the magical bus so we had to lug all the suitcases through the airport only to find out that our airlines would not participate in this service anyway. Also our room was a little ways from the lobby and since we arrived late at night we had to lug all the stuff again to the room or wait for the hotel staff. Try to arrive earlier in the day and this will not be a problem. Take advantage of the great pool near your room not the one with services but be sure to take towels none are at the pool. Also we were under the impression that the cups you purchase there for refill are good at the amusement parks...they are not but still a good deal for the resort
October was great and the parks are not crowded.

Classic WDW style accommodations always great!
Excellent is the best way to describe a Walt Disney World resort. We were treated like the most important people there by the staff. Room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Orleans themed decor and landscaping was great...no one does it like Disney!!!
