Is this Disney?

The price was the determining factor in deciding to stay here, but for the cost I still expected more. My original room was ground floor next to a common gathering area. The resort was hosting large tour groups of high school kids from South America. Brazil and Argentina to be exact... have you ever watched Brazil play soccer on tv. They are not the quietest group and their chanting and singing grew old as the week went along. Add to that the fact that Argentina and Brazil are rivals and you get the picture. After requesting a room change to find a quieter location we were put on a dark back area. Now I got to enjoy the sound of airport style luggage movers going back and fourth through all hours of the morning and night, this along with constant bus noise as we were now close to the road. The rooms were nothing different from what you would get at any econo lodge and nothing about them displayed Disney Magic. So the hotel has big Football helemnts and baseball bats... my 3 year old was not in the least impressed. The pools were large and clean but again they were just pools, speaking of pools, if you have a group of several hundred foriegn students at your resort, how about providing some bilingel lifeguards. I felt really bad for the lone Lifeguard at one pool as he tried in vane to communicate with 30 +/- brazilian kids who understood absolutely nothing he was saying. The food court was average, and the staff was average. The Gameroom was ok. My opinion, if your not in a tour group, either stay off site or spend extra and move up to modedrate.
