I needed the vacation, and Disney puts you in a whole different world. My family was very relaxed and stress-free coming home.

Best Things Nearby:
Walt Disney is less than 15 minutes away.

Best Things About the Resort:
I was meeting other family at the resort. We had a one- and two-bedroom. Call the resort a week in advance to ask for a room close by. When we got there, they gave us a lock-off unit. It was very nice for my party of 12.

Resort Experience:
Check-in was easy. Going into the resort, I could see a supermarket, Denny's, and other shopping on grounds. The check-in desk is in the clubhouse, where these is a pool, lake, health club, and activities center. By the center was also the playground and tennis courts. We had a three-bedroom lock-off. It was great for a large party. We were on the third room, a corner room (with was good, we had five little kids with us) that overlooked the pool area. Going to the room, there was a standard kitchen (on the counter was a bottle of their house red wine) and a living room area. The living room had a TV, radio/CD player, and VCR. The master bedroom was great, with a king-size bed and very large bathroom area. The bath had a standing shower and double whirlpool tub (which my daughter loved). This resort is very impressive, anytime on the year.

For the month of October, at Epcot Center, is the Food and Wine Festival. This were you can go around the lands to taste the different wines (or drink) and food from that land. You can also have class or tasting at the Center. Just call the Center to get prices, times and dates. This is a good time if this were an adult trip.

If you are the kind of person that doesn't like lots of people or long lines, then this is the time for you to go. Pretty much the only people there, are from the UK. If you are going for the first time, then I would call Disney and request a tape of the park, so you can get a feel for the parks. Also you can get a guide of Disney book, at the bookstore. This will help you know how to go through the parks, and gives you helpful hints.
