Just got back from our stay on 12/6 & 12/7 at SoG, and wanted to share our experience. On the trip was me - mom 50s, oldest son, military son & his military fiancé. This was a last minute trip for us, decided to go 7 weeks ago. I wanted book a junior suite, because it offered privacy for my son & his fiancé and it was cheaper then 2 rooms for 2 nights. Originally I couldn’t get the room I wanted, but after checking every day, several times a day, the suite opened up. So, if you’re looking for a specific room, book what you can, and keep checking in case the room you want opens up. Room availability is up to the minute, and not reloaded in the morning, so it helps to check different times during the day.
We were coming from Universal, and got to SoG at 8am, surprisingly our room was ready and we were able to check in and get our room keys. Huge room, queen bed (not pull-out) in the living room with a couch and dining table & chairs and separate bathroom and 2 queen beds and another full bath in the second bedroom. Bus schedule is posted and SoG transportation is very easy to use.
My son’s fiancé bought our tickets on base, so we did have to go to guest relations (we went the day before to Disney Springs) to get them activated. With The tickets she was issued I was able to book park reservations and then they were switched for actual disney tickets. We waited about 45 minutes From when we checked in until we were called in to meet with a cast member.
We were able to book
Genie+ LLs at 7am. Internet is not the best in the rooms, saw multiple people in the lobby on the MDE app at 6:45am.
Parking was $15/day.
Bill is delivered to your room around 0400, and if it’s correct you can just leave, you need your room key to get out of the garage. Our bill was incorrect, went to the front desk, had the extra charged removed (no arguing, just took it off), and checked out.
Glad we booked at SoG vs on Disney property.
