Just got back from Surfside & had a great stay. Love the family suites - family of 4 but so nice to have a separate bedroom from the teens! Buses are amazing - so many more than Disney, usually one waiting for you even at park closing w/ no lines, drop-off & pick-up from Surfside first which was also great. And for anyone wondering, gate w/ direct access to I-Drive by foot open 7am-7pm so after than just cut through the parking garage and there's an exit on the far side of the garage & Twistee Treats ice cream is right there to the left along w/ Subway, DQ, Waffle House in addition to KFC & Walgreen's right across the street. There's also a crosswalk at the far side of the parking garage to get across I-Drive if you don't want to brave the walkway at the main intersection by Walgreens. All in all, would stay here again when we come back as we upgraded to APs although we will also do at least one night at Hard Rock, hopefully w/ AP discount to get 2 days of express pass. Will say, this time of year is great time to go, Sat was busy but during the week, waits weren't bad at all. Any questions let me know
