From Our MouseForLess Members:

MouseForLess Interesting Facts about the resort:
The resort tax at all of the value resorts except Pop Century is 13%. Pop Century and all moderate and deluxe resorts are located in another county and you'll pay only 12.5% tax.

Unlike the All Star Resorts, this is the only value resort that stands alone and does not share busses with other value resorts. - Amanda D.

MouseForLess Room Request Tips:
Ask to be in the 70's section. Our room was central to alot of areas and close to the playground. - Venus Windmiller

If you have your own car, I say the 50's. It is close to the main building, and the parking lot. If not, than anything by the hippy dippy pool is best. - Amanda D.

MouseForLess Hidden Treasures:
Search out the shortcuts at this resort. Sometimes things seem so far away but then you discover a walkway, etc. that gets you back to the main building in half the amount of time. Don't be afraid to explore! - Venus Windmiller

The showcases in the lobby are just FULL of "memories". It's a lot of fun to look back at how things have changed throughout the years! They are full of games, clothings, photos, cameras, electronic devices and loads of other things. I always get a good laugh! - Carol V.

We had a great time playing twister on the ground. We also had fun playing scavenger hunt for toys making a come back, Cabbage Patch, Strawberry Shortcake, Transformers, etc. This works best in the lobby. - Amanda D.

MouseForLess Tips for Romance:
For seclusion from others, try the farthest building in the back. They are usually quieter there. - Raven Williams

I wouldn't recommend this resort for romantic getaways as it is often noisy and filled to the brim with small children. - Venus Windmiller

MouseForLess Tips for Families:
The food court is a good value for families. It has a variety of choices for any picky eater. - Raven Williams

MouseForLess Tips for Large Travel Groups:
Ask in advance if rooms can be blocked off so that the group will be housed together. A group may sometimes be located in the preferred buildings without the additional charge. A free upgrade is nice. - Raven Williams

MouseForLess Tips for Guests with Special needs:
Make this request for any special need when you book your reservation. Call one-week prior to make sure your request is prominently listed on your form. If you find out when you check in your special need request has not been honored, ask to talk to a supervisor at the front desk. This has happened to me a few times. Once I talk with a supervisor and point out the request was on my original form, they reassign me to a room that meets my needs. - Raven Williams

If you need to rent a fridge for medical reasons, let the front desk know! You will be able to get it free of charge (saving $10 a night). - Renee Walker

MouseForLess Tips for WDW Newbies:
The check out is great, if you don't have any charges to your room there is nothing to do and if you do have charges they will send you an itemized statement of all your charges and you still don't have to go up front unless you don't agree with the charges. It's great!! - Amy McKnight

Put on your sunscreen! The bus stop has no cover and can be hot on a sunny day. - Renee Walker

MouseForLess Tips for Budget Travelers:
The toiletries in the gift shop are overpriced. Double check your personal care items before you leave home. –Green Family

The value resorts are about the cheapest possible on Walt Disney World property. Use codes for discounts on packages and AAA for discounts for room only reservations. - Raven Williams

Both code discounts and AAA discounts on room only reservations can be booked through your The Magic For Less Travel Agent.

MouseForLess Tips for Luxury Travelers:
None of the value resorts include full-service restaurants. But if you have a car and are looking for a nice sit down meal the try a short drive to Coronado Springs Resort to dine at Maya Grill or Animal Kingdom Lodge for dinner at Boma or Jiko.

This resort is close to a moderate resort, but with a value price. Also, the food is outstanding. -Amanda D.
