    Swan/Dolphin/Springs FP+ and split stay offsite

    I just called Disney to check on something and I think I may have been misinformed. It's been awhile since we've done Orlando the way we're planning, and I had thought that if we start at a property that has the 60 day window even if it is one of the neighbor properties then we would have the...

    Trial Club Level Fastpass+ Purchase Program Planning & Discussion

    We did. We changed from GF reg room to AKL concierge for next week( it was the only CL available) solely for the ability to book the extra and early FP's and special viewing. It suits our park style and I hate hate hate waiting ( did I say hate)in long lines....but we are ones who always either...

    The real reason for Daily Room Checks?

    And I can't understand why there are those who continue to downplay the experiences of others. While it is true that some do make up stories there have been far too many reported instances of "security gone wild" to all be embellished. Everyone, absolutely everyone has a different level of...

    So, explain these "security checks" to me, please?

    You are absolutely right and this is one of the main reasons I said it isn't the right way to investigate and arrest human traffickers. But this kind of legislation is being pushed (or varieties of the same theme) in numerous places and sadly it is only going to get worse.

    BOG late dinners added for Easter Season

    Today because of the added MK hours Disney added numerous BOG dinners. Ive been sniping with a couple of services in order to change our time (which I was able to do for after the fireworks ) and there are a lot available for those who prefer later dining times...just an fyi

    So, explain these "security checks" to me, please?

    Likely none(or a 6 mth law and security program gawd forbid which often makes it worse) and therein lies the problem....

    So, explain these "security checks" to me, please?

    Yes it can be couples, even mothers of young children . I don't want to turn this into a human trafficking thread but for all of you who really see human trafficking in a one dimensional sort of way I've linked to a case ongoing in Canada right now that might shake your very foundations. Let me...

    So, explain these "security checks" to me, please?

    I had thought this was Vegas related....but Im beginning to think it may be about both, and either way certainly "liability" raises it's head. Disney wants to be in a position where they can indicate that they did all the due diligence should they be faced with a statement of claim. I get it, I...

    Disappointed Disney fan

    Yes "walking the guest" does and has happened for years. Matter of fact dh and I arrived at the Hyatt Maui on our honeymoon on our way back from Australia only to find out that the property was oversold because of a convention. The difference though is how things were handled back then vs now...

    So, explain these "security checks" to me, please?

    For some it is a "big issue", but I suspect that many/most and I include ourselves in this are waiting and hoping for their upcoming trips that once the initial growing pains wear off that the missteps we've heard about will not keep reoccurring. I do not believe that any hotel anywhere that...

    So, explain these "security checks" to me, please?

    Yes this is the new policy aka cya as a result of Vegas. Based on many of the recent reports Im just happy to hear that they agreed to come back and not insist on coming in then and there ! I would tell them at the desk ....and hope they actually pay some mind to the request.

    Trial Club Level Fastpass+ Purchase Program Planning & Discussion

    I still would like to know if it is really a "loophole"...I get what the reps have told me but I also wonder, even knowing about the IT issues whether they could have actually unintentionally goofed in this manner....I think its possible that this was intentional to see how it all plays out....I...

    Trial Club Level Fastpass+ Purchase Program Planning & Discussion

    I think you're right but I just wanted everyone who is purchasing to be aware of what I was told....just in case ! On another note if Disney does decide to make the pilot a permanent thing I hope they eventually give the guest the ability to modify the club fp's without the need to have to call...

    Park hours extended, when does FP+ update to reflect?

    Thanks....I guess having seen in the past where the parks were open later I saw the restaurants open later and assumed that would happen. I guess I'll wait and see then if we do see later dining before I consider changing fp's...again thanks it is appreciated !

    Park hours extended, when does FP+ update to reflect?

    Does anyone know if any of the dining outlets that have been affected by the hours extensions have added hours. We too want to change our fp hours for MK the week of Easter where the MK is now open until midnight but...we have the morning fp's leave by noon, then back for dinner at BOG ...

    Trial Club Level Fastpass+ Purchase Program Planning & Discussion

    I agree with you on the Universal Express Pass and sadly I agree Disney wont be doing that anytime soon. We too booked early...think it was within a day or 2 of the program announcement. Then a few days later having read here that they added the ability to book our regular fp's also at the 90...

    Trial Club Level Fastpass+ Purchase Program Planning & Discussion

    For us it doesn't matter really. I'll take advantage of it if available but I'd still purchase without that benefit. We generally only do 1 day of each park and sometimes not all the parks since we also go to Universal, and the ability to have 6 fp's incl. the top tier is well worth it for us. I...

    Trial Club Level Fastpass+ Purchase Program Planning & Discussion

    I had originally hypothesized that Disney may not have intended someone to be able to book duplicate fp's with the pilot. I like everyone else of course has been able to do so. Today when I called to change our test track club booked fp, the rep told me "it was interesting that we had been able...

    How much time to plan for food booths at F&G ?

    If you are staying club level in a Disney hotel there is a pilot project where one is able to purchase 3 extra fp's per day for $50.00 per person , minimum 3 days, without tiering. There are a few threads on the boards about this .
