Price you paid for room: 8 nights around US$2000
Was this price high season/low season? High and low (some nights of each)
Hotel Amenities (Restaurants, pools, Internet, etc): Food Court, pool, beaches, bike hire, boat hire, internal resort bus transportation
Room Amenities (bar fridge, room safe, LCD/CableTV, etc): Fridge, safe, internet $9.95 per day
Onsite/offsite: Onsite

What you liked: Pirate room, close to Epcot could watch and listen to Illuminations fireworks
