Everything looks authentic but the pizza is what I have to have. You can sit by the Hard rock Bar that overlooks their pool,very relaxing. I think a live band performs sometimes. They also have those pedicabs for a small tip to take you from the parks to the hotels. Wish I was going on a Disney Cruise...

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<Hokie, 60 was for roadtrip not you>> Yes, I certainly remember the walk to the ramp... kind of like walking from the MK to Epcot! LOL Westgate Lakes has scheduled transportation to UOR though, and since it's only 2 miles away a cab couldn't cost much if the schedule is inconvenient! I figure we can still enjoy the ambiance of the on-site resorts even if we don't stay there.

I was very impressed for the price and amount of food I got. And the gelato next door was terrific.

Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom I think a huge plus are the international Cast Members on property.

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Good point Witches It is the one place we have to thank Walt Disney and the family for keeping the tradition alive for generations.
