My family of 5 plus my mother stayed in the cabins this week. My family consists of my husband, me, 3 kiddos - 11, 7, and 1 ---plus my mom. My brother and his family (wife, son - 4, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in law (18)) stayed in the cabin next door.
We stayed in 2218 and 2220. It was a short walk to the internal bus stop. The cabins were nice, and we never had trouble with running out of hot water (all 3 adults took showers in the mornings). The queen bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. The bunk beds and the pull out - not so much.
Transportation was my biggest problem with the cabins. After catching an internal bus you had to go to the outpost to catch a bus that was going to Animal Kingdom, Epcot, or HS. This was not that big of a deal. But, getting to the Magic Kingdom was a problem. You had to catch the internal bus, then head to the settlement, then a good walk to the pier to catch a boat. If you wanted to be at MK early, then you had to take the boat to the Contemporary and then either walk (a long walk) or take the monorail. I wish they would just offer a bus to head to the Magic Kingdom. These long walks don't make for a great return to the cabins at night after walking 8 or more miles during the day. It also took out the option of returning to the cabins for an afternoon break. The traveling just took too much time out of the day.
I will not stay at the cabins again. Feel free to ask any questions!
