Yep, the hotel was totally packed, and they very politely told us at check in that the hotel was sold out so unfortunately no upgrades were available, to which we said “no problem, we’re just happy to be here!” Turned out our “no view” room had a lovely view of Hollywood Studios and was...

Ah, in thinking about it, I think my last stays there were both closer to when things started reopening, meaning the parks weren’t open to capacity yet. Oh well, it’ll still be a blast of a trip!

Hi! We just got the notification that our room is ready and the Swan, and I’m a little surprised to see that it wasn’t upgraded (traditional, no view, room is in the west wing and ends in 75). We’re on a points stay but I’m titanium elite, and as of yesterday, there was still suite night request...

Thanks! I figured as much, but appreciate the confirmation.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this (and happy to be redirected), but I saw the news this morning that there would be an offer coming out in November for discount kids tickets/dining plan. I have a stay booked for spring break on rented DVC points, but haven’t purchased tickets yet...

We got in to the half! I’m shocked, and so excited. I haven’t run a half in years, so I’m super excited to train and have fun with this one. Now to figure out where to stay and when to fly in. We’re going to do this as a kid-free weekend (our first at WDW) and I’m SO PUMPED.

Hi! We’re in a bit of an interesting situation in that we’re staying at the regular hotel side of the Poly for two nights and then moving to the DVC side for two nights. I’m trying to figure out how to deal with the transfer - bring all our bags to bell services and ask them to hold them til we...

D’oh. That would have been helpful. Wish. I’ll check out the maps too, but we’ve never used the nursery (older DD was old enough for regular kids club last time we cruised) so I have no frame of reference for how long sign-in/transition takes. Thanks!

Random follow up, but does anyone have a sense for how long it takes to run a kid from an MDR to say, the nursery, and get back? We have an 18 month old that has suddenly decided that sitting for more than like 15 minutes is just far too much to ask. Thinking that maybe the best plan is to get...

I could use some planning advice, I’ve managed to confuse myself. We’ve got MK park pass reservations that just happen to start on 4/4. While Tron looks awesome, the crowd we’ll be with won’t care, so we’ll likely wait to ride until our next visit. I’m trying to think about out whether we keep...

Hey guys. Long time. Looking at adjusting my CC strategy ahead of some 2023 travel. We have: - CSP (DH, me as an AU) - CFU (DH, me as an AU) - AmEx Plat (me) - Legacy Marriott AmEx (used to the the SPG card - me) - Chase Alaska (both) - Chase United (me) - Some Citi AA card I keep because I’ve...

Another vote for something like the Lotus. (We used a Bjorn travel crib for our kids—same concept.) The fact that the mattress is on the ground gives it a more stable feeling. My kids both slept well in it. Can’t say the same for the pack and play.

Thank you! Bucket list item to stay here during the holidays, so it’s great to see that there’s a decent chance of it this trip!

Hello! Did a quick search and see at the top of this thread that Christmas decorations typically go up at the lodge the week before Thanksgiving. Is that still the case, or is Disney pushing that up these days? We’re going 11/12-19 this year and would love to be there while it’s decorated. Thanks!

Good luck to all the runners today! Can’t wait for the recaps.

The very first time we went was with our daughter who was about 1 1/2 at the time. We had waffled between staying at Coronado, which was much more affordable for us, or splurging for the convenience of the Contemporary given our daughter’s age. We ended up deciding on the Contemporary, and...

Just a note for those trying to book the week after Thanksgiving: I’m Titanium Elite and spoke to booking this morning. Both Swan and Dolphin are completely sold out multiple nights with “tons and tons of group blocks.” So legit sell outs. If you check the availability calendar you can see a few...

No loss of benefit booking through Marriott at all, just make sure you link your reservation number in MDE after you book and check it when you get on-site to make sure it stays linked properly. Enjoy your visit!

Trying to look at Swolphin for a post-Thanksgiving stay next year. When I look at 11/26-12/2 (or even 11/27), I see availability at Reserve but neither Swan nor Dolphin come up. Surely those properties can’t be sold out for that week already? I think 12/2 only came online today or yesterday…...

We have a Precor TRM 425. We wanted something that could handle higher miles from two people back to back, neither of which are petite. It has a decline feature and is a wider width and longer belt, too, which my husband was adamant about. We love it. I can’t wait to use it again (I’m coming off...
