The floorplan is fantastic for a crowd, and the two living rooms were great. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is gorgeous and supplied with basic cookware, but only one potholder. We noticed a few small maintenance issues (glass on inside of oven door was broken, a missing curtain rod, gas grill wouldn't light, a few wall dings on the staircase, a loose TP holder in one bathroom), but nothing that interfered with our stay. The main improvement we would suggest is more towels; bath towels are supplied, but we never found hand towels, dish towels, or wash cloths. Also, some bathrooms didn't have any soap, but we had brought our own anyway. The location is close to the Disney parks (30 minute drive in heavy traffic), but the neighborhood is a bit cramped. If anyone is in the pool on either side, you'll hear every word they say. Most driveways can fit 2 cars single-file, but it's tight; I don't know if 2 minivans would fit. This leads to lots of street parking since many houses have 3 or 4 vehicles; the street becomes single-lane when cars are parked on both sides. Champions Gate is enormous, and the traffic getting out of the complex could be very slow. The pool was outstanding, and we enjoyed it and the hot tub most nights. Again, if your neighbors are in their pools, they're pretty close, but we didn't have any problems. The poolside table is nicely positioned in an alcove that lets you get out of the sun/rain and still enjoy the fresh air; it also shields you from the view of neighbors on either side (not the neighbors to the back of the house). So, this house is perfect if you have 8-10 people arriving in just 2 cars, but bring your own bath soap, dish soap, laundry and dishwasher detergent, potholders, dish scrubber, hand towels, wash cloths, and facial tissue.
