Hi SVR experts, we are thrilled to return this September. Did a rental for the fountains section through RCI.
Was thinking of requesting Fountains II to get the in-bedroom jacuzzi- but had a couple of quick questions:
1. We will have a 5yo. Are all rooms in Fountains II near I-4 or are there some quieter sections?
I strongly suggest you take a look at the resort map to familiarize yourself with the layout. Link is on page 1, post #2. The short is no, 2 Friday buildings and 5 Saturday buildings have the I-4 backing. Someone here also complained about the noise of the early morning buses picking up the Disney cast members at their property next door; don't know if this issue has been resolved. This would affect the Sunday buildings at the lower right on the map, but only an annoyance if you sleep in.
2. Does anyone know if there are elevators?
The Fountains buildings do NOT have elevators. Elevators are in Lakes and Cascades buildings only. Buildings in Fountains are 3-storey, so a top unit would be 2 flights up.
3. How far is the walk to the pool?
I HATE answering this question as I find the resort very walkable for everything. But then I see posts from people who feel they have to drive the 2 blocks to the pool because it is too far. Looking at the map, I would say that the longest walk from a Fountains unit to either the Lakes or Fountains pool would be about 1.5 city blocks. Some buildings are directly across a drive from the pool; so it varies.
Thanks so much!!
