So here is the end. . . So here are our final thoughts. . . Costco package - Good - Great deal. Round trip airfare from local airport. Park Hopper passes included in price. Not So Good - Non direct flights. Not refundable. MEAR Connect Transportation - Good - Good price. Easy reservations...

Still a little more. . . On to Animal Kingdom. Our early Animal Kingdom morning came and we actually rode the Swan bus there because when I went to the desk to ask about getting a late check out time (Which they were able to push our check out time to noon) the desk clerk said the Animal...

Welcome to the Disboards!!! Cheers!!!!

And a little more. . . The Magic Kingdom. Nothing says Disney World like the Magic Kingdom. We were able to make our way over to the MK several times during our trip because of our Park Hoppers. The early entry morning isn’t as useful here if you are not wanting to ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train...

And a little more. . . EPCOT has too much construction going on. I understand that upgrades are scheduled and have to be done and that the pandemic has delayed some things, but it was disheartening to have so much construction during the 50th anniversary celebration. We missed the opening of...

A little more. . . MEARS Connect worked well for us. The price was reasonable and the service was good. Pick up time was approximately 3 hours before our flight, similar to Disney’s ME. We had an early evening flight and was able to push our check out time to 12:00 and then had the hotel store...

So here are some final thoughts: Staying at the Swan was great. The Costco package was well within our budget considering it included flights on American Airlines from our local airport and park hopper passes. The only thing we didn’t like about it were the circuitous non-direct flights. Having...

Sure. Since our focus was on DHS and RotR we did first day at DHS, second day at AK, third at MK, fourth at DHS, fifth at EPCOT and last day at MK. Plus we used our park hoppers to hop every day, sometimes to two other parks. Cheers!!!!!! Jeff from Louisiana

We did not use Genie+ at all and we were able to do everything that we wanted with minimal waits. The longest standby wait we did was for Remy”s Ratatouille Adventure at 55 minutes while waiting to stake out a place for the new EPCOT evening show, Harmonious. We used the half hour early entry to...

My wife is telling me to not be so detailed, so I will shorten this trip report to give our overall impressions. We always buy Parkhopper passes and they were included in the Costco package at no additional charge. The limitation of not being able hop until 2:00 PM is very restrictive. There...

Hello everyone! Sorry for the late report but we all got sick (Some with COVID, some with sinus problems) when we returned home from a week (5/6 - 5/13) in the World. Me (60), DW (56), DS (30), DD (19) traveled from Louisiana using a Costco booked package. Airfare, 6 nights at the WDW Swan and...

6 nights at the Swan, Round trip airfare, 6 day Parkhopper passes for four Disney adults for May 7 through 13 - $5500 through Costco Travel. Add about $150 for Mears Express round trip plus food (probably dinner at Il Mulino, a table service lunch and counter service for all other meals)...

Hello all! Jeff here. Well I just pulled the trigger on a 6 night stay at the Swan from May 6 through May 13 through Costco Travel. Whole family going this time. Me, DW, DS 29, and DD 19. Never stayed at the Swan before. Always were at Disney Moderates usually Coronado Springs. Last trip to WDW...

In a park: Cinderella's Royal Table for the ultimate Disney experience. Food is good (not super great) but the castle has a great atmosphere. Best overall experience: California Grill. Close to the Magic Kingdom (walkable) and the view from the observation deck is great. Food is outstanding...

Grits and oatmeal. Bleah. Cheers!!!!!!!

-Morning and evening EMH for all on-site guests. -Night time parades. -International cast members for EPCOT. -Magical Express with luggage check from the resort. There are a lot of other things, but these are the big ones for me. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!

Victoria's and Albert's is, hands down, the best meal on property. I see that it is currently closed. :guilty: California Grill timed for the fireworks was the best meal and show. I know there are no fireworks now :guilty: but the restaurant is still great. Cheers !!!!!!!!!

I got some lanyards that have a rubber ring on them that snaps around the neck of plastic water bottles. Everybody gets one or two of them to carry. We refill with ice water from quick serve places. When we are done, we recycle the bottles and the lanyard can go into a pocket. Been using them...
