Room was great. I got there earlier from check in time and was able to be in my room 2 hours before. We also were able to pay for late check out which was great. The resort was great it was connected to Disney but its own as it’s a Marriot chain and I got to get reward points for it. Overall this stay was worth it and being able to use affirm makes it easier to pay for it over time.
