There are also some new 5 star reviews on Google, but those are brief and vague and kept coming in even while they were closed and remodeling so something is up with them.
Read it, it was a bit over-the-top (almost like an ad, more than a review lol)... Hopefully, legit. There were Google reviews posted when they were closed, so it might be wise to be skeptical.
Remember though this forum is a tiny percent of actual traveling guests, so it might take some time before a Disboard user actually stays. Plus so many rebooked different locations with all of the reopening uncertainty prior to holidays.
It's like a ten minute walk. I would have just done that...
There are those who can't "just do that," though, and is one of the reasons they choose a hotel with a shuttle.
I once visited DL with a friend from Florida who was a WDW regular, and he was so enchanted by the idea of DL being just a 10-minute walk from his hotel that he wanted to walk back to the Candy Cane instead of taking their shuttle.
WDW regulars either love or hate the compact feeling of the whole DLR.
Generally, we don't actually WAIT for this light to say "walk" as there is almost never traffic coming through--at least at the times we are crossing there! ;-)8 minutes if you time the light at Harbor and Disney Way correctly...
Once upon a time…in the waaay back (that means pre-COVID lol)…there were cops posted on this corner to make sure you didn’t do that…
Yes some people don't as you just have to watch for the Toy Story Parking Lot Shuttle buses. We like to set a good example for the children nearby and wait for the walk signal.
The other 50% of the time we were too dang tired to care lol
If that. I can't imagine ever taking a shuttle from there. We stayed across the street at The Anaheim Hotel and it was easily a short walk. If I were physically disabled I could see it, but for most people I would think walking would be fine.
I can see several scenarios in which people would opt for the shuttle but honestly, why does it really matter what those reasons are?
I am the same. I would NEVER jaywalk with my kid even though it would be so much easier sometimes. I just never did it when I had her with me because I wasn't sure if she would try it alone and not have as good of judgement (she's 30 now so not an issue anymore lol).
