I am looking forward to this new hotel. I think it's a nice alternative to RPR, as it is quite a bit cheaper. I know that there are many reasons why RPR is more expensive, and that the express pass is the main one, but if (like my husband and I) you aren't too worried about getting on all of the rides, it's nice to have a slightly cheaper option which appears to have the same level of high-end atmosphere. I may turn out to be wrong. Maybe it won't be as classy? What does everyone else think?

I like the look of this one and have enjoyed seeing it progress. I think SF will be a huge hit. More up market than Cabanna Bay but similarly priced.
I've never stayed on site in 14 previous visits, but did look into SF for this year.
Looking forward to its opening and seeing some actual photos and reviews.

Considering SF vs CBBR. Trying to keep costs down. I like CBBR atmosphere, but SF looks so darn cool!

I'm really looking forward to seeing real photos and hearing real reviews as well. One thing I am really curious to know is whether it has an area to sit and relax along the lines of the Orchid Court at RPR. Something quiet and outdoors maybe?

(We love RPR, but will need to stay somewhere a bit cheaper to make our next trip work). One thing I like about SF over CBBR is the lagoon waterway connection with the boats. Taking the boat back and forth between the hotel and parks is one of our favourite things about staying onsite. |

I imagine I'd like it a lot--and my family would, too! Interesting, interesting. Any word yet on if SF has family suites? Asking for a friend.....................  |

We will try this one at some point. Contemplated it for our July trip. Can't wait to read reviews and see photos.

When I called the other day with some questions, I was told that SF has the largest pool of any of the onsite hotels. And the 150.00 dining credit is a nice "come-on"

Strange to have a 10 dollar difference on the parking... We are staying at CBBR and RPR in september. I hope RPR is less than SF for parking...  |
