The others were: the food is mediocre, bored and indifferent staff in some cases, and the trail ride was not well organized. Some people were frightened?

I wouldn't go to a place that offered that much family fun. When I was a teen, I went to Disney with my parents, my brother, his wife and two small children. It was far from paradise. Long story short, the worst part was when mom and I got stuck in Small World for a while--probably 20 minutes. It seemed like days. I never went back to Disney. I didn't take my child to Great Wolf Lodge, either.

At 2 and 6, they won't be able to take advantage of everything available. If you want to go to a resort like that, I'd advise waiting until they're a little older. Young children are satisfied with small amusement parks, water parks and petting zoos.

i hate disney. ill do anything to not go to disney.

my kids are easily entertained. im more concerned with my experience. its like double the price other places that are not all inclusive. people are all like "its all inclusive" but im like "i dont eat $1,000 worth of food in 3 days. i believe i was told its buffet breakfast & lunch and a la carte dinner. to justify that expense, the food better be better than the nevele was when i was a kid. (it works out to about 796 a night for me + wife + child + free 2 year old)

There were a few complaints about the food in the few reviews I read, though most people didn't mention it. The thing is, you're forced to eat it because there's nowhere else to go. Even if there is, you've paid a lot of money for the resort slop you don't want. One person said, "What did you expect? It's a family resort."

Other comments:
The resort was much smaller than I thought it would be.
Indoor pool and water park was small.
The girl in the craft barn ignored us and didn't get anything out.
One staff member was very rude. ...I read that a few times.

It seems like a lot of money for a weekend which would disappoint you.
