I can't wait to get there

ARIEL · 05-08-2008

we have never done the carriage ride but seen lots of people doing it and they always seem like they are having fun. We have hired a bike with a carriage which we rode around the resort one day and that was fab!
This resort is AWESOME! We hahve stayed there a few times , the first time it was known as DIxie Landings ( I still refer to it as this every now and again!

)...old habits die hard

The resort is big but so peaceful and tranquil. Surroundings perfect, plenty of bus stops and pools. Food court is brilliant and the Piano Bar is great. Nice CM's, nice rooms, altogther just fantastic. We always stay here now.
The resort also has the boat to DTD which runs all day until approx 11pm. This boat ride is very peaceful and a really nice way to get to DTD.

You will love it!

We have stayed here twice now (AB section) and LOVE it! We're a family of 5, so it's our only option. We've not done the carriage ride, but DH and I took the boat to DTD one evening (my parents stayed with the kids) and it was soooo relaxing!
AB section - no elevators; they're only 2 levels though. I think the mansions have elevators.
I agree with Building 18 being the best!!!

Does anyone know if you can see any parking lots from Building 18? For some reason, I don't like seeing parking lots at my Disney resort. I like to feel like I am in the middle of things.

Absolutely no view of the parking lot or anything else unsightly. It is tucked between greenery and absolutely just the best location. No foot traffic either - it's just perfect!

I hope you do get that building. They don't take requests really. That stopped a few years ago. Crossing my fingers for you.
