Here now. Room #1726, parking lot view but set back so not obtrusively so. Great, quiet location. Can't comment on walk to anything bc we just take our car to the main building and the parks. It is a little bit of an adjustment going to smaller rooms and no indoor hallways bc we're used to Deluxe. But I would absolutely stay here again if a Deluxe wasn't in the cards *and* I would recommend it to others in a heartbeat as well. The beds are comfy, noise from neighbors not noticeable. The grounds are beautiful. It is weird to be farther from the parks bc I feel a little more out of the Disney bubble. But it's not hugely so.
We've found the food to be so-so, but the same can be said of the good in the parks we've had too.
We've had no known visits from security, but we didn't opt out of housekeeping. We've been gone from about 8:30-3 pm every day, and our room had always been tidied by the time we've returned.
Though something strange seems to have happened today. When we came back to the hotel this afternoon, building #16 had four Sheriff's cruisers out front and we could see an officer speaking to Disney personnel on the 2nd floor. No clue what that was about, but I am curious.
Update: detectives, medical examiner and I'm guessing what is an unmarked coroner's van. I'm so sad for whomever is affected by this tragedy right now.
