Prior to the addition in August about Diamonds getting upgrades on award stays, this was the ONLY property (besides the new bonita) that consistently treated you like royalty.
We usually arrive first thing in the morning, because we Hyatt Hop in Orlando, by staying at the MCO Hyatt Orlando Airport the night we arrive, and head over after the yummy breakfast there.
We normally arrive about 9AM and usually do not call 1-800 checkin. There are some GREAT front desk people. Ask for Steve (he is a manager). You cannot miss him, because he is REALLY tall! They have some great staff throughout. The pool guy has been there for years from Brooklyn! Shirley has been there for 15 years!
As far as Disney, I cannot tell you how many times we have stayed at this property and did not go to Disney. And we LOVE disney. We have a full mickey wardrobe. But there is so much to do at the Hyatt it is a shame to waste it!
Hope you have as good as time as we do! And be sure to tell my girls hi!
