Creator's Key Takeaways

We are paying $59 for our room tonight. We're just staying one night.

The hotel is beautiful. It is pretty small though.

I would love to come back here and stay here again. I just don't know when that would ever happen because we're not willing to spend that kind of money.

The view is amazing. But other than that, first impressions of the room. I am loving it so far.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book well in advance to get a lower price.
Get a theme park view room for the best experience.
Don't get a cabana just for guaranteed seating; there are plenty of chairs.
Consider the cost versus not getting Express Pass included.
