Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort: Something For Everyone
When Condé Nast traveler magazine, in 2002, awarded the Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort as its number one find it is People’s Choice Awards, one of the major reasons for their selection was that the Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort is a place where there is never nothing to do. Visiting this Hotel and golf resort is also a visit to a world-class spa, an outstanding equestrian center, a challenging cross-country trail, and a terrific selection of five-star restaurants at which patrons can recover from their days on the links, on horseback, or on the trail.
Lovers of 18th-century architecture will be dazzled by the turrets and ornate stone masonry of the Manor House, while gardeners will be lost in a dream as they explore its breathtaking grounds and ancient ruins. Adare Manor House offers sleeping accommodations both within the castle itself and in separate three-and-four-bedroom villas a 15- minute stroll from the Manor House. The villas have fully equipped kitchens and master baths with soaking tubs. Those privileged to sleep in one of the 62 bedrooms within the manor house itself may feel overwhelmed by the castle’s ancient wood and stone construction, not to mention its soaring ceilings.
The Clubhouse at the Adare Manor House and Golf Resort has a wonderful outdoor seating area where you and friends can gather following an afternoon on the links to relax over a drink as the sun sinks below the horizon to the west. If you have come to the Adare Manor Hotel for a romantic getaway, relax with your beloved over at candlelit dinner in the Oakroom Restaurant. If you prefer meals within international flair and flavor, then head for the Carriagehouse Restaurant.
Many visitors have come to the Adare Manor Hotel in search of rest and healing. They are welcomed by a staff of professional therapists skilled in the arts of relaxation and rejuvenation. The hotel’s facilities also include a year-round indoor swimming pool and a fully equipped fitness room. Guests who prefer outdoor exercise will love the cross-country trail and the equestrian center, where the Manor staff will arrange a ride on a suitable mount.
The crown jewel of the Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort, however, is the Robert Trent Jones 18-hole championship golf course, which opened in 1995. The final major golf course he designed, it is widely regarded as one of his best. It contains 7453 yards spread over 230 acres of emerald Irish countryside, made all the more enchanting and challenging by a 14 acre lake bordering nine of its holes, and the River Maigue coursing and tumbling through its landscapes.
If your idea of the perfect golfing vacation is one which offers much, much more than golf, the Adare Hotel and Golf Resort is where you belong!

This is a video of a standard room at the Coronado Srings Resort at Disney World in July 2008 . Great hotel, it was nice and clean. The people were nice but the weather was so crazy, it rained every day and then the sun would come out. I LOVE Disney World!

It depends what you are looking for.
If you are looking for convenience, then the hotels on the monorail line are the best. The Contemporary is my favorite. The Grand Floridian is just too darn 'snooty' for my taste, and the Polynesian just doesn't do it for me.
If you're looking for the hotel itself to be beautiful, then hands-down, I'd go with the Wilderness Lodge (not to be mistaken for Fort Wilderness). The Wilderness Lodge is absolutely breathtaking.
If you're looking for rooms with a view, then you'd want to go to the Contemporary and get a room facing the MK so you can see the fireworks from your room, or one facing the bay so you can watch the water parade at night. You can also see it from the Wilderness Lodge. Or get a savannah room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and watch the animals from your balcony.
If you are looking for value and convenience, then the All-Star Resorts are fine. The transportation is convenient, and the rooms are adequate. They're no frills, just a plain-jane room and no full-service restaurants, but if you're looking to save some money but still be close to the parks, then the ASR are the way to go.
If you're looking to make it really special, then I'd go with a room with a view, whether that's a view of the MK, the bay, or the savannah…it's just depends which of these sounds best to you.
If your meaning cost wise take Disney transportation to the Doubletree Guest Resort on Hotel Plaza Blvd. then take a yellow cab. Fare should run about $20 one way. Depending on which resort you are staying at a taxi could cost you almost twice as much do to the distance. Check this website and use the fare estimator feature, and when you compare it to the Disney transportation route map you'll see that the closest point to Universal is the Doubletree. Be sure and tell the taxi driver to take the Turkey Lake route to Universal instead of I-4.

check the different prices from Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Typhoon Lagoon and you'll see my point.
You can't go wrong with ANY of the resorts on site. You are making the first correct step, staying on property. In all honesty Disney has a resort to fit any budget, it just depends on what you want.
Pop Century is a good resort to stay in. Large place, cool decor and amenities. Rooms are on the small side and there is no sit down restaurant, just a food court. However those are the only real drawbacks.
The moderates are a step up the value resorts. The rooms are a bit bigger, there is a table service restaurant and food court. Each wing of each resort has it's own pool or you can go to the main pool. Each moderate also has a dedicated bus system, which cuts down waiting time unlike the AllStars which all share a bus system.
Anyway, I hope this helps!
The short answer is yes–you have to buy park tickets as well.
Walt Disney World is an immense complex–twice the size of Manhattan. There are four theme parks within Walt Disney World, and–depending on how you count!!–about 25 Walt Disney World resorts. None of the resorts is actually in a park, and you will need tickets to enter the parks regardless of where you stay.
I can tell by your question that you are a first time visitor

Have a great trip!! Dave
For the Magic Kingdom I like watching it from the Transportation Ticket Center the Ferry Boat station area left of the monorails.
For Epcot there is a bridge that connects Boardwalk to Yacht and Beach Club where the boats go under. {=oP
First, Choose your budget.
Value Resorts: I think POP Century is great. It is brightly colored, fun retro themes. Your room is basic, not too bright & very small. This is where my fiance & I stay when we go. We are able to get the perks of staying on property and have longer trips than if we stayed at the more expensive resorts.
Moderate: I've heard from my brother & sister-in-law that Port Orleans is great. They stayed there on their honeymoon & loved it. Much milder on the brightness scale than the Value resorts.
Deluxe: As much as I would love to stay at Animal Kingdom, I don't think I would because it is so far from most of the parks. I would choose one of the parks that is attached to the monorail system so that you will have easy access to MK & Epcot. Grand Floridian is beautiful and would be my first choice if I was looking for romance.
Have fun!
When we go to visit each of the different resorts, we use every form of transportation that Disney offers. For example, when we are in the Magic Kingdom resort area, we hop onto the monorail and go to Polynesian Resort, Contemporary, and then to Grand Floridian. Each time hopping back onto the monorail to go to the next resort, after that, we hop on the monorail one more time and head on over to Magic Kingdom and from there take the boat over to Wilderness Lodge.
The Beach Club, Boardwalk Inn, and Yacht Club are all on the Boardwalk so the best way to do that is to take a bus from either Downtown Disney or you can take a ferry over from Epcot or MGM, or if you are in the mood you can take a 15-20 minute hike from these two parks as well, and see these resorts all while having lunch at one of the great restaurants there. Also, the Carribean Beach Resort is very close to Epcot, therefore you can take a bus from there to the resort.
The All Star Resorts and Animal Kingdom Lodge are all near each other however, I believe the Animal Kingdom Lodge has it's own buses that goes to all the different attractions. Your best bet for that is to go to Animal Kingdom Park and then hop onto a bus over to the lodge. As for the All Star Music and All Star Sports, they are right next to each other so you can take a bus from Animal Kingdom and head on over there and walk from one resort to the next. Pop Century, however, is not part of these resorts and is off by itself. I, however, have never been to this resort so I am not sure of the best route. The other Resort that is close to Animal Kingdom park is Corronado Springs, there you will have to take a bus from the park to get to this resort as well.
As for both the Port Orleans resorts (Riverside and French Quarters) the best bet would be to either take a bus from Downtown Disney or take a ferry from Downtown Disney. However, the ferry can take longer than the bus ride because they come every 20 mins or so. When we stayed there in June, we often took the bus rather than the ferry, but if you are wanting to visit both resorts, the ferry is probably the best route. When you come from Downtown Disney you stop at the French Quarters first, so you can hop off there and look around, then instead of hopping back onto the ferry, there is a wonderful path that leads you to the Riverside. Hope this all helps.
Head straight for http://www.mousesavers.com/ — pretty much every potential way to save money on a Disney vacation is there.
Have a great trip!
Your hotel should have free transportation to Disney.
If not, take a taxi to get there. It will be easiest and less stressful with your family and all their luggage.
