Stayed there for five days, and just returned Sunday! It is absolutely for adults! There is beautiful art everywhere, and the lobby is gorgeous. If you're trying to avoid kids, avoid the Big Blue Pool. There are two smaller pools that won't be so packed. I loved all the cute, incredibly themed details.

My DD is 6 and a huge Cars fan, so of course we stayed in a Cars family suite. I highly recommend getting a family suite just for the space and the kitchen table! We ate every breakfast but one (character dining that day) at that table and talked excitedly about our day at WDW. It was great to have a table for other things, as well. I absolutely disagree that it's for kids. If my DH and I went back, we'd stay there again!

It's 5 minutes away by car to Epcot or Hollywood Studios, which is very handy. I'd absolutely get a garden view (instead of pool view) since the pools are open 24 hours and I never saw one empty. The parking lots are far enough away that you get no noise. My room was absolutely SILENT. Never heard another guest. Never heard a peep. We were the first room next to the elevator, which made me cringe when we saw it, but never heard a sound. The rooms are gorgeous, new, clean, well-kept, in good repair, and the air conditioners work great.
