Bahamas Cruise, Marco Island and Walt Disney World! Part 3


30th November cont.
The drive from Marco was straightforward, we stopped briefly for a snack and arrived at Saratoga Springs around 3pm. We checked in and our tree house was ready :) We got our Magic Bands and parking pass and off to the villa we went. The parents would be arriving later by Magical Express.

The Tree House

Before our trip I had looked online for photos of the tree houses and was disappointed as I couldn’t find very many. So on our arrival I tried to take photos of each of the rooms :)
 
Master Bedroom
 
Master Bathroom - shower and tub
 
Master Bathroom - sink area
 
I made sure to turn all the lights on as otherwise the photos would be a little dark. I didn’t think this was an issue but I know some people would complain that they would like more light.

We had requested a tree house near the water (for Rob’s dad) and we were granted this request.

We liked this location but anyone considering this location should be aware that the boats tend to sound their horns quite often which could be annoying. We were aware of this before we made our request and so it was not a problem.

The other common complaint with the tree houses is the remoteness of the location. We had a car and did not plan on using Disney transport and so they were a fantastic location – a nice peaceful place to relax after a day at the parks.

If not using a car then I can see that the buses would be tedious due to the need to take an internal shuttle before boarding a main bus.

Overall, we like the tree house for 4 adults – we each had a bedroom and a bathroom – so no sharing :) I would also think adding a couple of children would still be comfortable but anymore and I think the villa would feel crowded.
