It will be interesting to see in just over a month what the impact on the LL availability is going to be. If the current abuse of DAS takes up as much of the LL line capacity that has been rumored, then this should (in theory) reduce the LL lines and increase availability.

Yak & Yeti gets my vote

My wife has celiac and when we last went to Biergarten a couple of years ago, the chef showed her what she could eat on the buffet and did not bring her a plate of her own from the kitchen. In addition, she was not a big fan of what she could eat off the buffet and we marked this one off of our...

We went to O'Hana in March 2023 over spring break for dinner while staying at the Polynesian after several years of not going. While we were looking forward to the meal, we walked away thinking it was a complete waste of time and money and cost us $320+ with automatic tip for us (me, my wife...

Which is exactly why this perk too should not be called “free”. Nothing is free in life and certainly not at WDW.

Maybe this will give them enough of a reason to finally run both water parks at the same time again. Having said that, with room rate and ticket price increases for 2025 just announced, "free" is a relative term. Included in the price is how I would look it. You are paying for it one way or...

The only way you would see a significant discount is if the economy was like 2008/2009 or when COVID hit. Otherwise it is simply supply and demand that drives the price to be what it is. People are willing to pay the current prices so Marriott has no incentive to offer crazy good deals right now.

For an unknown reason they have not updated the site with new photos yet.

I get what you are saying about a segment of fans of WDW not having any interest in what Universal is doing. However, it is the portion of the fan base that does care also about what Universal is doing that Disney should care about because those guests will spend money with Universal if they...

When I called the Swan a couple of weeks ago, they said all the rooms were done with refurb. Maybe they were misinformed?

Just as with previous expansions at Universal, Harry Potter in particular, Disney as a business is not going to sit by and do nothing. There will be a meaningful amount of people that will spend money at Universal that in years past was only spent at WDW. I look forward to the competition from...

With Universal Epic Universe just over a year away from opening, when and how do you see Disney responding over the next several years? The only "major" attraction for Walt Disney World planned is the Tiana makeover of Splash Mountain. Aside from that, Disney has not formerly announced any...

Thanks you! I found your earlier post and the rooms do look nice. Here is the link to the page with your previous posts. Swan renovated rooms

They did renovate the entire hotel several years ago now actually. They renovated the rooms again this time last year.

Thanks for the info. We (me, wife, girls 13/15) will be staying in a 2 queen room this July before our Fantasy cruise. We were able to get 3 nights on points and pay for the 4th. Linked to MDE successfully. Our first time back to the Swan in many years.

Does anyone have pics of the recently renovated Swan rooms? When speaking with the Swan they said they just in the last couple of months completed a refurb of the rooms.

Debating between the Swan Reserve and Swan for a 3-4 night stay over next July 4th before our Disney Cruise on the Fantasy. Thoughts on the Swan Reserve? Obviously the Swan Reserve is newer, but overall which would you pick and why? We are using points so no cost for either hotel. Family of 4...

Is Peter Hofer still a cruise director on one of the ships?

Is there a list somewhere or does anyone know who the current cruise directors are on each Disney Cruise Line ship?

Being that we are over 3 1/2 years since the shutdown of WDW, we have yet to see both water parks open at the same time. Is attendance or demand so low for WDW now that they cannot justify the cost to operate both at the same time? I have a hard time believing it is because they cannot find...
