We loved this place so much we stayed 2 extra nights. Our room was clean. The beds were nice to sleep in.our room was facing the parking lot and it wasnt noisy. you couldnt hear your neighbors at all. The pools were nice so warm just like bath water. we didnt want to leave the hotel just being in the room and pool was nice specially after going to theme park for the day it was nice to come back and relax.. tv had a few good channels not to many to choose from.We was in second building close to the back and our internet was good. We had fun in the little game room. We ate breakfast buffet one morning it was good and fresh. The cafe hamburgers was good. The pizza was very good to.I have nothing bad to say about this hotel we had a fun time and enjoyed ourselfs very much. My husband step on a gecko one morning in our room he just picked it up and put it back outside they are out side in bushes. We had to have seen around 20 of them just walking around the side walks.I dont believe any of the negatives here cause our experience was the best one. Thank you very much seralago..

The Galaxy Spin is the 20th ride at Fun Spot USA and it will be incorporated within the $34.95 all-rides armband. The $34.95 armband includes all of Fun Spot’s thrill rides, go-kart tracks and other attractions. A $24.95 armband includes all of the attraction’s rides except the go-kart tracks. Individual admission – three Fun Spot tickets – amounts to about $9 per ride.

This new ride is planned to open this Christmas. The folks at The Fun Spot USA will be working hard this fall. If you visit us during the fall, be sure to take a peak and check out the progress. We’ll try to walk over from time to time and take some photos to keep you updated.

The Star Wars Weekend event fills Disney’s Hollywood Studios with more than 50 Star Wars characters from the entire saga, including the evil Sith Darth Vader and Darth Maul, Greedo, Queen Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, R2-D2, the loveable Wookiee Chewbacca, Twi’leks, Rodians and every hero, heroine, droid and villain in between. Jedi Mickey Mouse has even been known to make an appearance. While in line for the Star Tours attraction one year, I was startled to find Darth Vader standing behind me in line! My family thought it was funny, but I have to say, there’s something about being face to face with Darth Vader! Yikes!

Lorne Peterson is a veteran ILM model-maker who worked behind-the-scenes on all six Star Wars movies. Tom Kane is the voice of Yoda in The Clone Wars, and also the narrator who begins each show with a rousing introduction.

  Williams is of course famous for his role as Lando Calrissian, administrator of Cloud City and Rebel hero. Ray Park is the energetic, acrobatic villain Darth Maul from Episode I, and Dave Filoni is the supervising director of The Clone Wars.

A friend had told us that they went over to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground and had a great time for free?!!  So, looking for something different to do - we packed the kids and my visiting  in-laws into the car and headed over.  And what a great time we had!  There were campfires set up for everyone to enjoy.  We bought a couple of s’mores kits and roasted marshmallows over the campfire.  We all enjoyed the yummy treats and just had a nice time. 

I called Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground  and was told it is still going on.  It’s called the Campfire Singalong and it takes place every night.  It’s open to anyone who would like to go and you don’t need to call ahead and make a reservation.  They have a singalong that starts between 7pm and 8pm.  Seating is on bleachers and benches or you can bring your own folding chairs or blankets.  Chip and Dale join the fun and lead the kids in dances like the Chicken Dance and the Hokey Pokey.  They pose for photos and sign autograph books too.  And as if all this fun was not enough - a classic Disney movie is shown.  And it’s all at no cost!!

So if you are looking for something different to do during your visit, no need to make a reservation, just head over to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campgrounds at the designated time.  It takes place near the Meadows Trading Post.  To get to the campground itself, you can either drive or take a boat over from the Magic Kingdom, Wilderness Lodge, Contemporary, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian Resorts.  For more information call Disney at 407-824-2788. 

Close to Disney but yet far enough to not be in the heavy traffic.

Even though we were not able to spend any time in the pools I was impressed that there were two heated pools. The room had a microwave and a mini fridge so we were able to buy some food and cook when we wanted and save some money. The hotel is close enough to Disney that you can go back and take a break if needed (or change clothes if you get too wet on the water rides). The hotel offers a shuttle to Disney which is an absolute plus. Rooms were comfortable and clean.
