This is one of our favorite Disney resorts. As someone already said, the chairs and umbrellas are not complementary, they are rented by the day and it's best to get in line to rent before 9am the 1st full day you are there. There is a Publix grocery store a very short (less than 5 miles, not 45 minutes) drive away. Be aware of what this resort is, it's a beach get-away, and get-away is what you'll do. It's away from all the bustle, the Disney private beach is just steps away from the resort. Very nice video, thank you!
Funny you ask. When I was younger, the current restaurant called "Wind and Waves" used to be called "Shutters" and had a character breakfast with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald. A few years ago when they redid Shutters to become Wind and Waves, the character breakfast was omitted. Haven't been any characters since unfortunately.
@@itsasmallvlog What a shame. I understand not wanting to always have the characters in your face - it's not that kind of resort. But I figured they would at least host a pool party or marshmallow roast.
I wish there was at least a little character representation too. My guess is that the demand hasn’t been enough to get them back. Perhaps sometime in the future when the resort celebrates its 30th anniversary next Fall.
I've been visiting here regularly since 2003. This video is VERY well done and enjoyable. Thank you. Two small comments: The beach chairs and umbrellas are not complimentary. And the character breakfast did in fact return several months ago. I believe its on Saturdays.
Glad you enjoyed! Lol oops... I might have accidentally used those chairs while I was there for free! 😅 Thanks for the catch. As for the character breakfast, perhaps its a seasonal thing? I was there on Saturday, June 1st and didn't see any characters, but maybe I just missed them!
@@itsasmallvlog Maybe Goofy had a checkup at the Vet on June 1st!!! 😂 I just looked. It returned on April 20th. Saturdays 8am to Noon in Wind and Waves Grill.

You sum it up perfectly! It’s a wonderful place to relax and get away. Glad you enjoy it just as much as I do.
Great video. Are there any characters for the kids and the Disney adults? LOL

Glad to hear it still exists! I’m surprised they don’t have them more often during the Summer months.
