5. Great location for Walt Disney World -20 min walk / boat ride to Epcot and Hollywood studios, bus ride to other parks; hard to go anywhere else without a car (parking is not included); good access to many restaurants in the Swan & Dolphin and nearby Boardwalk (although some only open for dinner - check ahead); 24h cafeteria-style dining option (a bit expensive); nice pools and sandy beach (some rusty nails found in the sand though.
