    Is Anyone getting through to DCL on phone !

    Kids 4 and under have to be masked up, as they are not eligible for vaccines. It's probably fine when you have one child in a family - but when there are two older siblings who can go anywhere without wearing a mask, that just does not work.

    Is Anyone getting through to DCL on phone !

    I was cancelling a reservation for an August sailing on the Wonder - current rules make it impractical for a family with a 4-year old. Obviously, the rules might change - our PIF was at 60 days, so another 2 months out - but it would have been too close of a call. It took all of 3 minutes to...

    Is Anyone getting through to DCL on phone !

    I called today at 8:00 - was initially quoted 104 minutes wait, then about two hours later it changed to 334. Finally spoke to CM at 12:48, total time on the phone 291 minutes.

    Phone wait time ..

    I had the same 334 min quoted around half hour ago as well, and that was an update from an earlier 104 min estimate right after I called in at 8:00 eastern. Yesterday at one point it was way over 400 min. Something odd is going on there.

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    It's a long walk, but definitely doable. Expect about 30 minutes from Poly to MK. About the only way to avoid TTC when staying at Poly now.

    Disney's ALL-STAR MOVIES RESORT Information & Questions

    It is a tough choice - particularly since the Big Blue Pool at AoA is closed for renovation, but two bathrooms and a door in a suite just can't be beat. Plus - since a guaranteed Cars Suite was an option, that put us near the small Cozy Cones pool - I was able to sell that to kids.

    Disney's ALL-STAR MOVIES RESORT Information & Questions

    Just got a call on our early March reservation - the choice was between a suite in AoA or a room at CBR.

    Disney with a baby

    June can get hot midday, when the little one will need his nap, and staying offsite will limit the options for splitting up the groups or splitting the days (morning - nap - evening). If you are driving and have other means to get back to the hotel from the park, then perhaps starting off the...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    There isn't much parking space available - the main lot is closed, so only the one by the villas is open. I don't believe they let anyone in other than those with Kona dining reservations. But walking over from TTC is definitely doable.

    Poly or GF?

    I feel the same. But while the monorail station and 'Ohana remain closed, so are 6 of the longhouses, which means fewer people in Poly's common areas and the pools. TTC is just a short walk from Poly villas, and GF and all of its food options aren't far either.

    Which resort pools are heated?

    We stayed at YC and Poly the week of Thanksgiving. Stormalong Bay was quite cold, while both Poly pools were definitely heated.

    AS Movies will not open by the end of Feb

    AoA suite does sound like a great upgrade, but with the Big Blue Pool being closed for refurbishment, that takes away one advantage of Finding Nemo section - and AoA overall. My kids would not be happy trading Fantasia pool for Flipping Fins or Cozy Cone.

    ****Official Thanksgiving 2020 Thread****

    Poly is a bit unique, as it is much less desirable that normally - with the monorail stop gone, and Epcot monorail not running. It started opening up as soon as full details of renovation plans and schedule came out. But there is definitely more availability now across both DVC and resort...

    NOVEMBER 2020! CANCELLED ADR Thread - Guidelines in first post

    Cancelled: Anyone interested in CRT on the 26th for 5 people @ 6:45pm? Will cancel tomorrow afternoon if no takers.

    ****Official Thanksgiving 2020 Thread****

    I have the same concern - it's more about standing in lines with kids and lack of FastPass. This is something Disney can address, as they can scale up ride throughput to meet demand, and keep the lines below acceptable threshold (30 min) at 35% guest density; the question is, will they? It...

    A Ton! Of reservations just opened up Nov-Dec!

    My 5 reservations for Thanksgiving week disappeared earlier today, and I just received 5 e-mails with cancellations. Worst part, I made a reservation for a Thanksgiving day dinner at California Grill which cancelled a Narcoossee's I made at 60-day mark. Now both of these are gone.

    Added two more days, and now MDE seems to have forgotten that we have tickets and AP. They are messing with it.

    Nope. The entire system was completely nonfunctional until about 8:30, anyone who was in before 7:00am had to re-login (and got stuck doing it).
