Will do my best to answer any questions for all of you.. Would like to ask a favor though.. Promise you'll get back to me AFTER you've been there and let me know what you thought - okay?
Here goes...
If I remember correctly there WAS dish liquid and dishwasher detergent there when we arrived but I'm not 100% sure because believe it or not, my SON-IN-LAW did the dishes the whole time we were there!
I do remember that there was a complimentary packet of coffee and some sugar packets when we arrived..
We used the laundry facilities and they were great! Nice and clean and a lovely area with wicker furniture and thick cushions if you wanted to sit and wait.. My son-in-law and I got such a kick out of the change machine.. There was a sign on it that said something along the lines of "This machine is NOT broke. When you insert your $5 bill you will recieve $5 and 25 cents in return.." Told my son-in-law I was going to take my thousand dollars in spending money, go to the bank and get it all in fives, come back and pump then into that machine because the machine was paying better interest than the stock market - ha!
ALL appliances are full-size.. Refrigerator (with freezer), stove (with oven), microwave, dishwasher, and a full-size coffeemaker..
Can't give you exact distances but I can tell you that no matter where we went - MK, Epcot, AK, or MGM it never took us more than 10 minutes - and there were NO problems with traffic at all..
May I ask if the two "middle-aged adults" are a couple? If so, you could go with the less expensive studio and still have LOADS of room.. It's just that the cottage would be one long rectangle building as opposed to having 2 seperate bedrooms.. I believe the studio still has the upper loft though..
Anymore questions? I'm thrilled to answer for you because I REALLY loved this place! Let me know if there's ANYTHING else you can think of - okay?
