Also, we noticed the FP lines were always SOOOO long. Hasn't anyone else noticed this and have a theory why?
They were really long for my mid-July trip too. Space was backed up to astro orbiter and I waited in SDMT wrapped around to the check in area for BOG more than once. The outdoor rides I think would close for storms and reopen and that cycle all day just caused backup. Not sure what the excuse for things like buzz and space were. Buzz was so long we just got out of line and went to TTA. Of course, it had a line too.
I hate reading about the bugs and rude people. First of all, as we have discussed, I am petrified of those palmetto bugs. I grew up around them and have a huge fear. I literally have anxiety about them in the days prior to my trips and am constantly looking for them. Ugh.
The rude people are out of control. It is a societal thing. Just read social media. I don't think it is going to get any better. At least it gives us things to point out to our kids....how NOT to act.
Trips would be so much more pleasant if everyone would be considerate and kind though.
I love reading about the 3 resorts you reviewed. I have been considering them all for upcoming trips. Pop is priced so cheap sometimes, it is hard to pass it up and pay 3-4x as much at a deluxe, even though I love the deluxe ones. I think we will be staying there soon enough too. And I saw movies rooms are done like pop's now, so that is on my possibility list too.
I really love the grounds at riverside, but those internal bus stops...ugghh. It sleeps 5 though, so sometimes I will have to be chosen when all 4 kids come with me. We were in a royal room last time and I wasn't impressed with the bathroom and how dark it was.
I am excited to try swolphin. I am trying to time it for when WDW resorts are priced too high. And since the gravy train is possibly derailing, I am trying to be very methodical about when I use those points. I wish it would show up on the UR portal. That would be a game changer. Did you kids like the pool area? I have never seen it. My boys always want y/b for the pool.
So APs!?!?! When is the next trip??
