- Very spread-out resort with long walks from casitas to the main hub
- Primarily a convention hotel, can feel less magical than other resorts
- Far from EPCOT and Hollywood Studios by bus
- Moderate pricing but far location makes it less convenient
- Some areas of the resort feel dated and in need of updates
Disney's Yacht Club Resort
- Very expensive even by Deluxe resort standards

- Rooms can feel dated compared to more recently renovated Deluxes
- No monorail access, bus or walk required to Magic Kingdom
- Nautical theming may not excite young children as much as other resorts
