    Kidani Room Request

    We are so excited about it! We are driving to all the parks, so that will make the walking a little less since we can park by the elevator closest to our room. I’m thinking asking for sunset Savannah close to the closest elevator to the pool. My 2 year old is obsessed with pools!

    Help with my itinerary!

    My daughter does better at table service meals than quick service. We just got back from WDW last week, and she loves character meals! I know it’s strange, but my daughter does really well at restaurants.

Resale for the resort they are currently selling (excluding RIV with the changes) usually doesn’t...
