9/10 Wonderful! (4,590 reviews)
"Nice hotel however bus service is lacking in that it drops you off at the ttc and not the main entrance like other Disney resorts, also true for water parks, have to transfer buses and then Disney springs stop is by cirque. Resort has Disney in its name but it’s owned by another hotel chain."
