We were there in July and even though I had read over and over again on these boards how great fotl was......wow, it went beyond my wildest expectations! I had a lot of concerns with taking a midsummer vacation to Florida again with the heat and long lines for attractions. Staying onsite at US with fotl access spoiled us enough that we're going back this July without concern. Another thing I really appreciated as US was being able to take a 10 min. walk past all kinds of tropical flowers and arrive at the parks. When we were tired after a long day we could take the water taxi. Oh, and I guess one more thing. Staying at the Royal Pacific seemed like it was far away from a theme park. It wasn't done up in US theming, it was South Seas, right down to the original handcarvings and statues......it was very relaxing early in the a.m. just walking around the resort with my cup of coffee. We plan to take time to see Hard Rock Hotel and Portofino this trip as I've heard/read that they're very nice also.
