The hotel is beautifully appointed and I've stayed here 10+ times as a Hyatt Globalist. Here are my thoughts as someone who has stayed here over multiple years in various room types as well as their off season and peak times. Parking: Parking is free for globalists but is quite pricy if you're not. When you do park, it's down by the pool area, so it's a 7-10 minute walk from the parking lot with your luggage to the check-in area. If you're traveling with a lot of items, it might be worth dropping your bags off with a member of your party up at the valet area, and then parking so it's easier. Not bad if you travel light, but during the warm season, if you have multiple bags, you might be sweating. Check In: This usually takes 4-6 minutes per guest that's in front of you, so for times when there's only two staff members checking in guests, if you have 3-4 people in front of you, it can take a few minutes, but they do try to be as helpful and speedy as possible. I have noticed that this hotel frequently has special events, specifically conferences and weddings so if you're globalist it can be tricky to get an upgrade beyond high floor pool/water view. Out of 11 stays here, only once was I upgraded and it was during the slow season on a random weeknight. Room: I'll be honest, the hotel can be a completely different experience based on your room view. There's parking lot views which don't add to the magic, a pool view with a slight glance of Disney Springs, or the pool/water view which is the way to go if you can. This provides a view of both Epcot and Magic Kingdom's fireworks and is a really magical view. Food: The food is nothing to write home about. It looks pretty but the buffet is the same daily, the guy who does eggs doesn't know how to cook eggs (they're always burned and dry), and they're seriously behind on the dietary restriction menu. If you're vegetarian, vegan or gluten free, you won't want to eat here. They're not well versed in things like what vegans can and can't eat, and would regularly try to pass off yogurt smoothies as something vegan and once added sugar packets to the table for a vegan guest's iced tea - without realizing the sugar they provided wasn't vegan. I don't blame the staff, but management should really try to add at least a few (truly) vegan and vegetarian options without needing substitutions - especially for the dinner menu as there wasn't a single option my party could have last trip. Keep in mind, if you try to leave to get food, it can take 45+ minutes to do so if you account for the walk to and from the parking lot plus the time driving out of the exit/entrance. It's a LARGE property. Pool: The pool complex is stunning and 10/10 recommend setting aside time to hang out here. The jacuzzi is lovely, the pools are heated well - the water slide is often closed but is fun when it's open. I haven't rented bikes yet, but I've done put put and kayaking on previous trips and it's always great. Interestingly, the food by the pool area is more dietary friendly than inside the restaurants. We've had vegan burgers before, salads and more, and for what they were, they were priced well and nice. Other: The resident parrot they have looks absolutely miserable because he's always by himself and can't fly. He's just left alone on a perch while people treat him like something other than a living being. I've seen people have flash photography right in his face, laugh at him, it's just really sad and a bummer for each trip. They clearly have him clipped as he can't fly, but they could benefit from knowing that parrots are extremely social animals and they need other parrots to be around. If they can't have 1-2 more parrots to all keep one another company, I really hope they can find this parrot a loving forever home instead of forcing him to be free entertainment here. The parrot deserves better. Also - if you're going to be visiting the theme parks - PLEASE for the love of God, don't depend on their shuttle service. It's nice that they offer it, but you might as well spend $7-12 each way to ride share. The times we had our shuttle don't match with optimizing park hours, especially if you want to enjoy the fireworks, and sometimes the bus would show up over an hour late which isn't what you want when you're exhausted after a long day. This isn't on the hotel necessarily, as they pay a bus service to offer transit to and from the hotel and parks, but it's been very inconsistent, and of all the hotels that use this service, this hotel seems to have one of the worse schedules ex. last buss being hours before park closes on extended hour nights. If you won't be driving yourself, you might want to consider an All Star property on WDW property instead, as their busses are consistent and the savings from having transportation makes that hotel the same or cheaper than Grand Cypress.…
