We LOVE the Beach Club. We think it is Disney's best resort. Stormalong Bay (the pool) is the best we've ever seen. It is a zero entry, sandy bottom pool. There are areas of the pool for all ages. A big water slide for older kids and adults is on one side. On the other side is a slide for the little folks. The hotel's staff is so friendly. Beaches-N-Cream is a little ice cream shop in the hotel that is WONDERFUL. We will keep returning here because it is so incredible!

This is a great place to vacation. The two bedrooms provide enough room to sleep 8 people. The resort has tons of activities that make it hard to leave to go to the amusement park. The also offer child care and child activities at a reasonable price. They also have several pools to choose from. Generally the buildings back right up to a pool making it real convenient.

This restaurant is located in Disney's Contemporary resort. Mickey Mouse and his pals rotate around the dinning area and mingle with the guest. We have only visited this restaurant for breakfast a couple of times. They will take family pictures of Mickey and your family before you are seated then you can purchase them on the way out. The food was plentiful. It is a serve your self buffet. They had a variety of eggs, bacon and pancakes. There were danish, donuts and fruits. It was relaxing and we did not we were being rushed to move on. You are able to use your Disney dinning options here too.

This year's slogan Horror Comes Home is right! Horror or should I say Halloween Horror Nights is done best at Universal Studios!
This event is not for the faint-hearted or people who scare easily!
This is a PG-13 event, a event that the scareactors, really do try to scare you. No Kidding! When you least expect it, you'll get scared, they watch you & bam they get you!
I just laugh at them. (I wonder if that makes them mad?) LOL!
The lights are shut off, and it is like one big haunted house in the darkness, since you walk to the houses via scare zones, where again you can get scared!
At certain times I saw people scream hysterically & run by me yes even grown men. LOL! That cracks me up, where in the heck are the going to go?
Jack the Clown, the Caretaker, the Director, and the Storyteller have come back, you remember them from past HHN events, well they have become the icons of HHN Sweet 16. You see them everywhere!
There are 7 haunted houses! These houses revisited from past HHN events are done better this time around!! The houses are: The Dugeon of Terror"- the Storyteller's house, People Under the Stairs, Psycho Path The Return Of Norman Bates,Run -Hostile Territory, Scream House Resurrection- the Caretaker's house, Psychoscareapy Maxium Madness -Jack's house, All Night Die In Take Two -the Directors house. I will not give you descriptions of the houses, if you want to read descriptions go to: http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com/orlando/dungeon.html
Are you game enough to visit all 7 houses?? I did!! My favorite house was Scream House Resurrection- the Caretaker's house!!;-)
I did actually get startled once during the night, In the Scream House, I looked to my left then to my front & the Caretaker was right in front of me I was like wow! I said to the Caretaker "OH you got me Caretaker", he sorta cracked a slight smile! And well Jack tried to scare me I started laughing and did not watch where I was walking tripped and started to fall, Jack caught me!;-)
The scare zones are Deadtropolis Zombie Seige (NY Street area) it's "Us the living" & "Them the zombies" in this zone, Harvest of the Souls the bizzare dwell in this zone that is lit by flickering lanterns (next to lagoon & around animal's stage area), Horror Comes Home where past HHN characters terrorize you (by terminator), and Blood Masquerade vampires call you (by Shrek). I liked Harvest of the Souls the best, it was eerie.
Please keep in mind you have to walk to the houses, well everything via these scare zones!
There are 2 live shows including a all new Bill & Ted Adventure which was so funny the best one I think ever, & the Arrival with Darkness his minions Jack, the Caretaker, the Director, and the Storyteller!
In the lagoon the Sweet 16 film featuring the director, Jack, The Caretaker & The Storyteller plays.
Rides that I noticed that were open, Revenge of the Mummy, Men In Black, Twister, Jaws (it is different in the dark) & Terminator.
But you don't go To Halloween Horror Nights for the rides you go for the Haunted Houses!!
Great job Universal this HHN -Sweet 16, it ROCKED!!
Check out my review oh the HNN16 website.

We LOVE the swan! We love that you can stay on site at Disney, without a car, and not go broke! We love that you can get a heavenly bed while being on site at Disney also. The Swan is the only place that can happen! It is SO close to all of the Disney action and you get free transportation. The Swan is on the lake with the boardwalk and all of it's fabulous restaurants! The Swan shares a pool with the Dolphin. It is a very nice pool and I'm sure in the summer is wonderful! However, in October it was a bit chilly to be in. We still return though!

The Yacht club is BEAUTIFUL! Rich wood floors and clean nautical decor make this hotel beautiful from the moment you walk up. The rooms are a good size. The pool is absolutely wonderful! It has something for everyone! The steakhouse within the resort is delicious. Plus, you are a 10 minute walk from EPCOT. You can't go wrong staying at the Yacht Club.

This is the place where I got my new wheelchair. There service was prompt and they even came to my house to measure and give me options of what features I wanted. There customer care was great and they worked well with my insurance. My chair only take 2 months to receive, which is a miracle since most places take forever. Then when they was a problem with my chair they took it back and repaired it quickly.
PROS: Quick Turnaround
CONS: No complaints here

The Dolphin has a lot to offer guests. By staying at the Dolphin you get the advantage of being minutes from Disney. You get the advantage of Disney Transportation free. However, you get it at a fraction of the cost. We love the beds at the Dolphin. The staff is all very friendly. The malt shop is fabulous!! They offer a great discount for teachers a lot of the year as well!

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in March 2003. It is on the Universal blvd. and about 1 mile from the convention center, so it is in really convenient place. You can walk to the movie theater in a few minutes. International drive is the next street, and the shopping mall “Point” is also close. This hotel serves free continental breakfast that was average.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in April 2005. The address is on International drive, but it is the south end and you can’t walk to anywhere without driving a car or using a bus. It is a 4-story motel and has a pool. Even though you get a non-smoking room, you may feel strange smell inside room. The bathroom is really small and old. I didn’t feel like to stay there any longer.
