Hi Sam
Our family have stayed here for Christmas the past 2 years.We have loved it each time.
I would say that this Christmas was the last time we could get away with 2 weeks in the same room.
The rooms are quite small compared to other American Motel type rooms, with 2 double beds, a small table and 2 chairs. Our kids are D 14yr and S 11yrs.
There is a bar at the Hippy Dippy pool. All seats and tables are out doors. This Christmas the bar in the food court didn't open.
The drink bought at the bar was very expensive so we and many other guests brought our own drink to the tables. 2 small plastic glasses of red wine cost $14 the same price as a bottle in the food court.
We were able to keep an eye on the kids while they were playing in the pool.
If you have a length of stay pass you'll probably spend most of your time at the parks including the evenings.
Disney are doing their Extra Magic opening hours for hotel guests only in the evening now which is fantastic. After the parks close for day trippers the hotel guests get up to 3 hrs to enjoy without queues.
A reason way we stay at an onsite hotel is let my hubbie have a few drinks with his evening meal and not have to worry about driving.
Don't hestitate to contact me if you have further questions about this hotel or about staying at Disney.
