Silver Lake Resort Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Silver Lake Resort- Silver Points"

A very roomy one-bedroom sleeping four. Privacy for four as well. Staff was friendly and very helpful. The unit is well-stocked with items needed to make it very close to being at home. None of the pictures I have seen on the Internet do this resort justice. There were a lot of activities for families and kids. A ton of on-site amenities (movie theater, pool, restaurant and bar) make it possible to not have to leave if you need some relaxation.

The Rainforest Cafe is in Downtown Disney and is a great experience. Sit in the junglelike atmosphere and enjoy your meal. Beware of the sudden thunderstorms in the restaurant, as well as the animals speaking to you. The animatronic animals scattered inside the restaurant all look very real. The food was excellent, just served in very large portions.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant"

This is a very unique restaurant. The atmosphere and food were both excellent. You sit in old car models and have waitresses on roller skates. The hamburgers are huge and very suitable for sharing. If you let the waiter know, they will gladly cut the half-pound burger in half and bring it out on two plates with two orders of fries. It’s a very fun place for families. The movies have a lot of cartoons to keep the kids happy. Also ask about the souvenir, "glowing" glasses, for your drinks!!!

If you only have one day to spend at Walt Disney World, this is the best park to do it in. There are rides and fun shows. This is the smallest of the four parks. The park has thrill rides and kids' shows, as well as informative rides showing how the movies are made. It is a great day for all ages and everyone in the family. All characters are here--from Buzzlightyear to the Muppets, the Little Mermaid, Indiana Jones, the Star Wars crew, and of course Mickey and Minnie. There really is something for all ages!!
