    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    On our recent stay at the Tower in February both my wife and I agreed that Coronado had the best bus service, by far, of any moderate resort we have stayed at. Yes we were last for pick-up and drop-off, but there was almost 0 waits for busses and the stops were very quick! We timed it one night...

    Annual Pass?

    I am in a very similar situation as you and I ended up biting the bullet last June and bought my first AP. With the two trips I have taken with the family since then we have already "saved" money (hotel discounts, length of stay, etc). As the post stated above, I am already starting to look at...

    Just got back from CSR

    We just got back from CSR as well and our King Tower room on the 4th floor did not have a safe either!? And…yes, the tower was VERY loud…HUGE number of convention attendees!

    Disney After Hours Q&A and Experiences Thread

    We went on Wednesday night (my wife and me) and we had a MUCH better time this February than last February! Last February did not have the “gap” 1/2 hour and it added to a lot of regular park guests still in the park, but park closing at 9:00 and event at 9:30 It made a HUGE difference. We did...

    Disney's CORONADO SPRINGS RESORT Information & Questions

    Just got back from a stay in the Tower. They “upgraded” us from a preferred in Casita (have no idea why) but we accepted it. We were on the 4th floor. Although the tower is beautiful and convenient, it was PACKED with LOUD convention goers and it did not feel like a Disney Vacation (not like in...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    We just finished a 7 night off-site trip. I am an annual pass holder but my wife and daughter are not, so we purchased after-hours tickets and a 2-day hopper for them. Most of their days were spent at the pool. I park-hop and resort-hop on my own at my own pace, so I duck in and out of the heat...

    We just finished Epcot AH. It was interesting, miles behind HS AH. Epcot is so big, so it is almost impossible to double-back. We checked in at 6:45 PM and made our way to World Showcase. Did a few countries and then ate at San Angel in Mexico pavilion at 8:00 reservation. It was very good meal...

    Just got back from the HS After Hours event. Even though we got some torrential rain off and on, the event was 1000x better than the one we did in February! We had a great time tonight! We arrived at 7:00 and had dinner at Sci-Fi at 7:30. Came out at 8:40 PM to a downpour, but ponchos adorned...

    Hollywood Studios After Hours with RNRC Closed

    It was one of the biggest wastes I have ever done in 23 years of going to WDW! I would NEVER do this event again. Save your money. We enjoyed TOT and that was it! We enjoyed this because it was the LAST thing we did before leaving and the cast members were awesome. I cannot say that for the rest...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS RIVERSIDE RESORT Information & Questions

    Boy, I really hate to write this about POR, but my gosh, has this resort really disappointed us during our last 5 day stay. We check out tomorrow morning, and during our 5 days, we saw housekeeping once, after we called them for towels. So much for Touring Plans room request AND a faxed request...

    Just got back to hotel room…same experience! They definitely oversold this event! We did the MK after hour event Monday and it was great. This one was a total waste of money. 45 minutes for ROTR, 20 minutes for Runaway Railway, 30 minutes for SDD and several rides and attractions were still...

    Warning RE: Sheraton Vistana Resort & Internet / Cell Service

    Agreed! I’m glad I could help. I wish someone would have warned me. It was our first stay at Vistana and we loved the resort as well. If you weren’t leaving site, it is pretty much a non-issue, but with us not having a car and going to the parks, it was a rough time, but we still had a great...

    Warning RE: Sheraton Vistana Resort & Internet / Cell Service

    Sure thing. We were in the Palms section, which we had asked to be in a quieter area away from main pool (Cascades). It was nice…about a 5-7 min walk to the pool and little store. Yes, we tried everything-data plan, going outside, etc. I know when we spoke to others at the pool they were...

    Warning RE: Sheraton Vistana Resort & Internet / Cell Service

    We stayed there from June 28th until July 4th. It was our first stay and we loved the resort, but we will absolutely NOT return until the WiFi issue is fixed. DoorDash, Uber, Instacart, Disney Reservations, etc. all affected by this absolutely atrocious issue, and I do mean ATROCIOUS! If you are...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    I hear you! That is going to be our plan going forward. We had a great time at Disney Springs shopping and eating and just enjoying the Disney atmosphere. We are at a MUCH cheaper place :) no more park tickets (3-5 day hoppers with Genie+ and ILL broke the proverbial bank)

    LL+ time changed on me AFTER purchase

    We wasted SO much time dealing with issues with Genie+ and the guest service lines were horrendous and the only place we didn’t wait in line for help was the Dolphin hotels Disney kiosk (in store) but we were given attitude there for a mistake that ILL made when booking. With how much we paid...

    LL+ time changed on me AFTER purchase

    I hear you 100%. In the airport waiting for our flight home my wife, daughter, and I were ready to go back to Upstate NY (22 degrees and snow) for the 1st time ever in 9 trips! We are done. It was a great run, but no more. Heading to Universal and Disney Springs in May of 2023.

    LL+ time changed on me AFTER purchase

    Happened to us last week with FOP. Showed 9:45 and purchased and was 1:45, during our Beaches and Crème reservation. Went to Disney desk in the Swan Hotel and they got us one for 3:45 after our lunch, but they were annoyed and basically told us “not doing this again for you” Oh, thank you...
