Staff was very friendly and helpful. The resort was clean and very nice. The on site restaurant had a number options. Since this resort is aimed at children we expected it to be quite noisy but it really wasn't. We would stay there again.
Amazing Disney Christmas Celebration Trip .
Beautiful decorations and the marvelous sounds of the Voices of Liberty at the American Pavilion at Epcot. Candlelight Procession inspiring.
