    BWV refurb is in full swing.

    Just walking by, it looks like they used the same patio chairs on the Inn side, too. I tried having my coffee on the patio this morning but gave up after 20 minutes. So disappointing, the weather is gorgeous and all I want to do is relax out there. :( I love Disney and I adore the Boardwalk...

    BWV refurb is in full swing.

    Add one more voice to BWV Chairgate. I’m here now and can confirm that they are the worst ever! It really is as if guests are being discouraged from using their balcony/patio. For anyone curious about what they look like: The legs aren’t that long, the back is short, and it cuts...

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    Wow, expensive! $707 round trip from Columbus for my preferred nonstop flights in October. This RT should be less than $300. I can fly much cheaper with better service on Delta out of Cincinnati.

    Via Napoli was different

    Same experience last week. The pizza was OK, but the other elements were off. I always ask for Parmesan and red peppers with the bread basket, and they used to bring a saucer with one large mound of shredded parm and two small mounds of good quality pepper flakes in the shape of a Mickey - it...

    Which resort for Solo Trip

    Just returned home yesterday from a stay at the Polynesian Villas. The buildings housing the deluxe studios are on the opposite end of the resort from the construction. It was not an issue at all, besides being able to see the unfinished tower building over the tops of the longhouses on the...

    •The Official POLYNESIAN VILLAS & BUNGALOWS Owners and Fans info thread•

    We just left yesterday. Our studio had a 12-cup drip coffeemaker, sorry I don’t remember the brand. No Keurig yet. This one had a removable mesh filter basket that was more conical than flat-bottomed. I did fit a filter into it to use with my ground coffee, not sure that would have been...

    I posted a bunch of pics of a refreshed room after my stay in late November/early December. Check backward to that timeframe in this thread - they should still be here.

    Bus Sharing?

    Poly will sometimes share buses with GF - two stops total, Poly first. Yesterday we rode shared buses both ways to AK, morning and afternoon.

    Disney's BOARDWALK INN Information & Questions

    Wit’s BRG closing and food trucks coming in, I hope they add more tables and chairs (and dare I say umbrellas?) on the Boardwalk. This also exacerbates the issue of where to eat when it’s raining - always a problem at the Boardwalk.

    Hours changed end of January

    Good to see. Unfortunately there is also an early closure for MK on Monday the 29th at 4:30 pm! Kind of sad about that because we will be staying at the Poly and had been planning to pop over there that evening - but now morning seems like a better plan. At least they are trying to make up...

    Mears Connect - where did you stay and how many stops?

    Right after Thanksgiving, my Mears Connect trip took every bit of two hours from check in to arrival the the Contemporary. The issue wasn’t just the number of stops - first at C Terminal, then three non-Disney resorts, then me, then one party left on the van). It was the traffic to the...

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

    This past Sunday, Dec. 24, I booked a stay at the Swan for December 2024 through the Bonvoy app. Sorry I can’t remember the quoted deposit - I probably didn’t look. However, I was charged one night’s deposit on a five night stay. The charge came through immediately (a first!) and they also...

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

    Either, the walk is similar. I use the BW bus more simply because I enjoy the atmosphere of walking on the BW. Coming back it’s first available. Sometimes in the afternoon they share. If so, YC is the first stop and I hop off there.

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    I entered MK at about 12:10 today from the tapstyles in the left (monorail) side. There was literally no one else entering at any of the styles. NO ONE! I even asked the CM if the entry point was open, it was so strange, lol! On Main Street the parade started coming by, so I stopped and...

    Bay Lake Tower studios still have a table and chairs, for now. (Please pardon my stuff):

    Rumored Changes to G+

    This. This is a definite segment of newer DAS users for whom this is true. My son has always qualified for DAS due to his multiple disabilities, epilepsy and autism. However, in the past we never bothered getting it because FP+ met his needs just fine (better, actually, since we could plan our...

    Jollywood Nights

    Thank you for this. I’m keeping my ticket to Jollywood because that sounds like a pleasant, relaxed evening to enjoy some rides and maybe some extra park atmosphere. If some of the kinks get worked out, great! If not, then more people will cancel/skip/switch/not buy tickets, and it may be...

    Feb AP Hotel Rates

    Heads up that UOR has released some new passholder rates for late January. Not sure if they extend into February yet, but I was able to switch our late January PBR reservation to the passholder rate and saved quite a bit. Good luck!
