Oh my, you've all been so patient, I will definately find some time here to continue on today!!
As for the resort, it was wonderful. Unfortunately we ended up in the furthest room of the furthest building from the main building. That is the only complaint that I had, it was a very long walk for three small kids to go to the main building or the main pool. The upside of that, was that we had a very quiet, peaceful area.
It is a beautiful resort with many amenities. The food court was good but probably my least favorite of all the Moderates. The in-resort restaurant, Shutters, was excellent.
We loved having the beach areas. We loved having play equipment on the beach so the kids could play while we relaxed.
The pool was by far my favorite of all the Moderate resorts. The "beach entry" ramp was awesome!!! Our kids, still very young, cannot touch in the shallow end of a pool so we are always in the pool holding them or they play on the step area. The beach entry allowed the kids more freedom to play in the water where they could touch, we all loved that feature!!
There was a great area to rent boats, or sign the kids up for a Pirate Cruise and other water activities. You could also rent surry bikes and the resort is quite large so it would be a great ride.
But of course, the Pirate room really made the resort fantastic, we all loved it.
