Spruced-up guest rooms have plasma-screen TVs, pillow-top mattresses, and granite bathroom counters. Some ground-level rooms have semiprivate, gated patios that overlook the swimming pool. The restaurant, the Giraffe Café, is informal but pleasant and specializes in gourmet pizzas with toppings like Boursin cheese and lump crabmeat. Kids under 10, accompanied by parents, eat free at the restaurant, and on check-in, adults can book a length-of-stay all you can eat breakfast buffet for $37.50 per person. You can rent microwaves and refrigerators for your room, for $75 (each) per stay. Pros : within walking distance of Downtown Disney; free shuttle to all Disney attractions. Cons : inconvenient to Universal and downtown Orlando; airport shuttle costs $48.
