I'm going to write a quick trip report.
We stayed at Cabana Bay just because we felt there was more to do at that hotel than at the Disney hotels. We also like the hotel better.
We stayed on the older side of the hotel. The pool was not open which I knew about. It was very quiet, very quiet. We felt like we had the hotel to ourselves. Both the Swizzle lounge and the Atomic tonic were closed while we were there. The Bayliner was completely open and I didn't see any of the menu items missing. We ended up getting dinner there one night and it was cooked for us so we had to wait a couple minutes. We refilled our drinks and ended back. I had two meals at the Bayliner and they were delicious both times.
Also the starbucks was fully opened. We saw the giftshop close early on weekdays.
Now for the bad side of staying there. We had two things break on us one was the lock on our room so we got locked out. We went back and got new keys no luck. So I contacted the front desk and they sent maintanance. He had to get a huge harp to get under the door to open it. we applauded. Which amused both the maintenance people.
The next day our fridge went down and we had to throw out some food which was disappointing. We called the front desk again and they sent a maintenance person again to fix it. It worked but just enough to keep the food cool. So if you're staying in the older section keep an eye on these things.
I will cover the park in my next section
