    Torn...Poly or GF

    We have stayed at both. The Poly has been our long standing "home" resort and where we have stayed half of our trips there. We were always reluctant to stay at the GF because of that stuffy feeling. My wife and I stayed at the GF our last trip as we went without kids. We were pleasantly...

    Has anyone else received this email promo recently?

    Yes, we received this offer as well. We've only stayed at the GF once in over 20 trips, in 2019 as a 2nd honeymoon trip, We usually stay at the Poly, but since it was just my wife and I we stayed at her dream resort

    How early have you checked in?

    We have checked in as early as 8:30ish but our room has seldom been ready before 1:00. In fact I can only remember twice in 20+ trips it has ever been ready in the morning. Most times we are in between 1:00 and 3:00. On the flip side, I also can only remember once we didn't get our room until...

    Help Us Decide!! Contemporary, Polynesian, or Grand Floridan

    I too have stayed in all 3 and the Poly/GF are pretty much equal to me. I am a huge trust your gut guy so I would go with the Poly since that has always been on your wish list.

    1st trip—Picked Poly over Beach Club and Contemporary

    Another Poly vote here, but that has been most of my families favorite resort and we've stayed there more than all other resorts combined. With kids your age the advantage to me is you are close enough to the MK you can go back to the resort both easy and quick for naps and breaks. The...

    Beach or Yacht Club

    Have stayed at both the last 2 years. Although very similar, we preferred BC, but our room had much more convenient access and better view than at YC and I'm sure this played a part as our BC room had a perfect view of the Boardwalk and was very close to the lobby. Both have their advantages...

    Grocery Delivery Recommendation

    Another recommendation for Garden Grocer. Used them for the 1st time last month and was more than pleased. We will definitely use again.

    Pixie dust

    In 2016 we were having breakfast at Crystal Palace. The server saw my Fire Dept shirt was the city she was from so she gave us some extra attention and joked with us. Then she sent an older gentleman over who talked with us for about 20 minutes before asking if we wanted to be the Grand...

    How long does Morimoto Asia dinner usually take

    My wife noticed the huge crowds at Morimoto when we were dining at Homecomin' last year and wanted to try it this year. We are going on this trip by ourselves for our anniversary and was wondering how long an average dinner for 2 takes so we can figure out what to plan after dinner (i.e. park...

    Questions about adding a day to a package and Disney Magical Express

    I currently have a reservation with park tickets dining plan. We are thinking about adding a day at the end of our trip but do not need to have a day added to the dining or park tickets, thus it is less expensive to do it as a separate room-only reservation. We also have never used Disney...

    Getting to Boma

    We had this same situation in October while staying at Beach Club and took a Minnie Van. A regular Uber or Lyft would work too, but we found, even though more expensive, it was quicker to get picked up with the Minnie Van.

    Yacht Club Room Type?

    Stayed on the Beach Club side last month and was upgraded to a water view instead of garden view. I will definitely go with the water view next time I stay at YC/BC

    That's the same week we were there! From 10/14-10/21, and were at Studios the same day. That day it was close to July/August trips we have taken

    Slinky Dog Dash rider experience and comments

    Braved record October heat for an hour and the entire family loved it so much we waited again to try it at night. Not a thriller rollercoaster like Expedition Everest, but just plain fun
