Disney World (Orlando, FL) Informative - Spring break
Review by lvh17 on 2010-04-12
When you booked for your disney resort vacation, make sure to print out everything you found on their site so you'll have proof that it is indeed written in their site(they do not have wifi in the value resorts and I'm certainly wasn't paying extra for a service that they should offer for free---most other hotels have free wifi.. you will be disappointed with value resort room size and space, we thought we won't be able to stay there for 6 days/nights). I ended up getting promised $300.00 gift card(included in the package but make sure to put in special code) after 3 days of our 6 days stay(thanks to manager named"CHRIS" who explained were delay was from and no thanks to rude manager named "ERIN W" who instead of pacifying an irate customer gave me tips on how to book my vacation!!!) and ended up not paying extra for an in room refrigerator and microwave because we were mis informed upon checked in ( thanks to a wonderful manager named " JODIE"/"CHRIS" for the follow up) Overall, we had a great time at all the theme parks ( animal kingdom, magic kingdom, hollywood studios and epcot) so good that my kids want to be performing monkeys when they grow up ( inspired by the lion king's monkeys), jungle cruise guide( inspired by "DENNIS" our "jokester" guide), a disney resort bus driver ( inspired by "JAMIE" the most informative bus driver who cracks jokes in between information) photographers ( inspired by photo pass photographers) . They took on a new hobby, pin trading ( we used our gift card to buy starter sets :D) and insisted that we need to go back every year so they can trade pins with friendly cast members. They enjoyed all the rides ( they are tall enough this year to ride most big rides on their own) most especially, space mountain, mount everest, mission space ( caution to those who have tiny space / motion issues--- you will not like this ride!! ) and test track. They enjoyed all the shows live or otherwise and vow to come back and watch/do them again. Autographs/character photos are best real early or when crowd is thinning down --- one of the many perks of being a resort guest--- extended hours!!! Don't forget to bring your own ponchos and check weather channel before hitting the parks, we ended up buying ponchos for $7.50/poncho. Enjoy planning and do your research !!!! Have a magical vacation !!
