    $7.00 missing from room left on counter

    You will only actually experience this in practice in larger cities/tourist destinations. We have personally experienced room checks at various hotels in the last several years. To include, Disney, NYC, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, & San Fran. It is absolutely the policy at most major...

    $7.00 missing from room left on counter

    I have a dog and smoke so I am staying at an off site hotel. We are planning to visit family and park at the Beach Club and go swimming. What time does the pool open? We bought 10 muffins for our family on mobile order so we should be good for parking.

    Beach Club rooms

    I am pretty sure Beach Club CL now only allows reservations for 4 in a room due to not having daybeds in every room and receiving too many 5 in a room reservations. On the Disney Website it lists an occupancy of 4 for the CL rooms.

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    We have not renewed since December 2021, we have switched the majority of our Disney trips to Tokyo Disney. Not joking when I say that we can find discounted flights and spend less than a trip to Florida.

    B Resort to become a Renaissance?

    Marriott site seems to imply that the changeover will occur in March 2024. Currently, it is unable to be booked via Marriott but you are able to still book current and future dates through B Resort Site. Curious to see what they will do with it. Aesthetics alone, it looks nothing like a Ren...

    Best Hilton Brand Hotel Disney Springs?

    As others have mentioned, Hilton Signia or Waldorf are the better choices. FWIW the only property on my never again list is Hilton Buena Vista Palace.

    Getting from Wilderness Lodge to International Gateway

    I would check the Lyft App to price how much a Minnie Van would be. We used it last in January 2023 to go from the Contemporary to the Beach Club and it was around $32 I believe. Not inexpensive but less than $48. You can usually check the rate through the Lyft App when you are in Disney.

    Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Information & Questions + Construction Updates

    Our experiences with all services including massages has been good. They fall in line with a lot of spa services we receive when away from our normal providers. However, it is just "good" nothing to complain about but nothing about anything has made me think I should make it a normal part of our...

    Grand Floridian March 2024

    If it is available for the week but not when you try to book only the 2 nights; call. You may get a nice CM that will book it for you. As PP mentioned the system favors longer stays and may show unavailable for a myriad of reasons (they don't want too many people checking in/out on a specific...

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    Many of us from way back said that so many years ago but people keep coming and paying more. If I were to list the things that were standard 15-20 years ago (personal transportation off property by the "runner", lavish and desired welcome gifts, etc) that are long gone; what is left is a...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    Honestly, we have always received plentiful waters. Usually more when they forget our room and we have to ask (they brought us a bag with 5-6 each time).

    How to best use VIP tour day

    Personally, we utilize the VIP tour days to hit all 4 parks and do the attractions that have the highest wait times. With the back door access, traveling between parks is usually easy. We usually finish the night with VIP access at whatever fireworks/show we want to do. When we bring guests...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    I had to call and get them to link them and I ended up having to get a supervisor to fix it after explaining the difficulty with genie etc. It did end up getting worked out. I am Titanium now but previously was Ambassador and this is something they should be able to help with (but I have heard...

    Unique Resort Experiences Free & Paid

    We have done both Bay Lake/Seven Seas Lagoon and Crescent Lake. We prefer Bay Lake by far. We were picked up at Grand Floridian for Bay Lake and Yacht Club for Crescent Lake. I believe they pick up at most of the deluxe marinas, I am not sure about Fort Wilderness.

    $7.00 missing from room left on counter

    The individuals employed by Walt Disney World would not risk their jobs to "steal" $7. As a matter of fact this is probably now an issue for the housekeeper that took the $7 rightfully believing it was a tip since it was reported to management. Furthermore, if this person had to resort to...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    I have certainly not stayed in all the suites but we have stayed in a number of the configuration that have a 3 bedroom option with a full living area and 8 person dining table, wet bar etc. and none of those had a washer/dryer. I doubt they do as they offer laundry services.

    Disney's Club Level (CL) Information & Questions

    For many years club level rooms are sold out for discounted rooms in fall and winter and often available during the summer months. Generally speaking the demographic that typically books CL doesn't vacation at Disney during the heat of the summer.
