I only been here 4 days out of 7 I have stayed here before. So far the staff have been super asked for extra room towels they sent more than asked for Plus wash cloths. I had a problem with room safe person on phone very pleasant within five minutes security person at my door. No complaints now or in my past stays here

Pros:

Location and transportation don't really need a car while here

I really enjoyed staying here with my family. There is reviews about bad service, which is all but untrue. Just ask and most likely you will get what you ask for like towels, house keeping, pillows, etc. Costs are really nice. The transportation is great because you have quick access to the Magic Kingdom from the walk from the resort to the Polynesian and hop on the Monorail and this includes going to Epcot. The Busses are just fine, just a standard Disney bus. The quality is very high and very nice on the higher end then the All Star Resorts.

Pros:

Costs, Transportation, and Quality

Cons:

Merchandise and Food option directly at the hotel are minimal and need to go somewhere else for that

It's one way to book a few trips a year. We've used SOG for over 20 years. I choose to have the extra dollars in my pocket to enjoy the parks. We've never experienced rude staff. Great location and amenities.

Pros:

Price, location and convenient ammenities. It's a nice resort. If you want to pay near a grand per night at a Disney Resort while out of your room all day..."Be Our Guest!"

Cons:

The bus service can be annoying, so we just use those extra dollars for a Lyft ride. The older wing could use some upgrading. Rude guests who complain about everything.

We've have stayed at SoG a few times now and each time we go I am happy with the stay. For the cost of the hotel we are able to stay for longer and enjoy more of WDW. My kids always have a blast at the pools and the Exchange is such a plus! We are constantly there getting little things to help with our stay. Like all vacations, things can and usually go wrong but I can say that has never happened to us at SoG! You are close to MK and the TTC. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are big and clean! If you can stay here, definitely do it! As much as I would love to stay at one of WDW big 3 resorts I cannot justify paying almost triple the price for a room you basically sleep in.

Pros:

Close to everything Clean and spacious rooms helpful service amazing pools kid friendly a reassuring feeling of safety

Cons:

Not really a con but we didn't really care for the bus system (during covid) because we have a double stroller and 3 kids. So we prefer to just drive to each park and pay the parking fee.

Had a great stay, it was like staying in a deluxe disney resort. People very friendly, and food prices were very cheap for disney standards. Beautiful resort, and hop, skip, & a jump from Poly.

Pros:

RESTAURANTS, PRICE, FRIENDLINESS OF FELLOW GUESTS, THE EXCHANGE, NO TAXES, & SPACIOUS ROOMS

Cons:

TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT

This beautiful, calm resort has the amenities of a deluxe resort with bigger rooms than most places on DW. It has it's own busses and is a short walk from the DW ITT and The Poly with all of its transportation, food and drinks! Shades is a gem.

Pros:

huge rooms, beautiful, parking garage and practically a Monorail resort.

Cons:

fewer hidden Mickeys... I guess that's a con and the only con I can think of.

We have stayed here over 10 times. Very few complaints. Biggest standard rooms on property.

Pros:

Great location. No matter what people say the bus system they have is outstanding! It only serves SOG. Plenty of dining options. Golf next door, it has a NEX. Discounted tickets and rooms. Based on your rank. Low cost to park on site.

Cons:

Sometimes people get loud but that is just like every other place you go.

We just got back from SOG...probably the 5th or 6th time we've stayed there over the past decade. We've never had a bad room or a bad experience. During the ever-changing COVID protocols, here's what you can expect..
No housekeeping. You have to call for clean towels and other stuff. The Galley is not open...only the pool bar and Manginos. Masks at all times except if you're on pool furniture, eating or in the water. Exchange and coffee shop are running regular hours. Busses tend to run every 30 minutes and they pack them full. That said, for the price and comfort, it's the best deal going. We've stayed at several resorts and the only plus to that is more transportation options. Additionally, the guests at SOG are generally more polite and better behaved.

Pros:

Price and amenities

Cons:

Temporary COVID protocol
