Unbelievable
Met and exceeded expectations in every way shape and form. Be sure to get a room that faces the open area for the animals. The fast service restaurant in the hotel was especially nice to have for a reasonably priced (and GOOD) breakfast before heading off to the park.
Eat breakfast in the fast service restuarant there. Good food, reasonable price.

Excellent for kids
That was probably the best option I made to spend vacation with my wife and kid. The hotel has 3 restaurant options, which is great for either fast meals (Mara) or fency dinner. Staff is excellent and always willing to help.
Besides Disney’s parks and water parks, take the kids to Disney Quest.
