We just came back from CR Atrium level for 10 days. We all had a great time.One thing we all hated was the heat and humidity!! Thank goodness for my sun umbrella and my fan, it helped! If it wasn’t for my son and DIL being teachers, I wouldn’t go in August again. We did August when my kids were young and the heat didn’t bother us, but now that we are in our early 70’s it’s too much.
The staff was excellent, shoutout to Dave, Courtney and Kyle. The food sampling’s for the day were good, I even tried the dreaded coddled eggs and after mixing it up, I actually liked it. All the food comes from the California Grill. The meat servings were so good!!
The mousekeepers made towel animals for my granddaughter 5 times, she was so excited.
The room was cleaned everyday with new supplies for the bathroom. We did tip 3 times thru our stay.
We had a theme park view and I was very surprised how close the castle was compared to pictures online. We stayed in room 4845 and I did online checking the day before. We were at AK when I received the text at 1:20pm that our room was ready. (Also, my son got a text that a delivery of water was delivered to bell services from Prime. He ordered 4 cases of water and we finished 3 1/2 during our stay…. We all drink a lot of water!!). We took the bus back to CR to freshen up and got to rest for a few hours because we got up at 3AM for our 7AM flight.
Then it was back to AK.
I bought
Genie+ before we left and it worked out well. However, I ended up buying A LOT of LL’s, no standing in long lines in that heat! It was well worth it for us everyday. DS and DIL set their alarm everyday for 6:50am and they got all the big rides for us and some we did twice with LL. We never did rope drop because we all didn’t want to do it.
Only one ride DH and I didn’t do was Galaxy of the Guardian’s because we were afraid of getting nauseous. The kids loved it as did my 6 year old granddaughter!
We had two rest days for the pool and I had ordered cabanas for that. They were very nice and it was nice splurge.
So that’s about it , even with heat it was a great time!
