    Best kept Disney secret & our favorite place to vacation. Pet park-nice. Watch fireworks @the marina (best are New Years!) get a golf cart, c hoop dee doo, canoe ride. Most relaxed way to do Disney.

    Great place to stay if you have kids. There is 2 pools (one open 24/7). A Campfire nightly (Weather permitting), and a water show nightly. great inside transportation (but golf cart is a must)

    We tent camp here and love it. We love exploring and the activities here. Most relaxing place to stay at Disney if you like the outdoors. Obnoxious kids seems less obnoxious here :)

    As a non-meat eater, offered moist salmon and grilled veggies or pasta dishes. Others had reg fried chicken and meaty pork ribs. The strawberry shortcake had real berries in the glaze. Excellent meal.

    From cabins to camp sites, the largest resort at Disney offers a vacation in itself. Campfires, live entertainment, beach and lake activities, and more.

    Rent/reserve a golf cart otherwise add ~30 mins to any trip you plan on making in our out of the campground. Internal transport is GOOD just time consuming! Could never leave and have it all. xoxoxo

    Not secluded as the website suggests. Right on the road and could see both neighbors on either side. Ferry and transportation are convenient but rent a golf cart! Faster to get to outside bus.

    If you are staying in the 600, 700, 800 or 900 loop hop on a yellow bus and get off at the 1500 loop walk past the pool and you are near those loops and the meadows trading post

    Shuttles very infrequent, so plan on waiting a long time for transportation. Only one place for quickservice lunch in the resort, The Meadows. Don't plan on eating lunch at the settlement.

    Bring or rent bikes if you can manage it. They're actually faster AND cheaper than golf carts. Plus you can take them on the sidewalk!

    The Hoop Tee Doo Show is fun. :-) Potatoes, ribs, and sangria are all good. Chicken is kind of dry. Good show, though.

    The most affordable and family oriented way to do Disney. Cabin or Camping. You cannot go wrong. Be sure to take the family on a canoe trip.

    You don't want to stay in the 900's RV sites on weekends. Too Close to the group campsites. Think: 100s of screaming cub Scouts.

    Height restrictions on the pony ride. You have to be 9 years old to do the trail ride. The whole family can take the carriage ride tho.
