Not really a land music, but Tapestry of Nations; even after the parade left it was the world showcase exit music post fireworks. Classic and worth bringing back. Tron queue music, great adaptation of an incredible soundtrack

Funny! Of course not. This is the one thing about this whole reservation system that continues to disprove their narrative that reservations help them for planning and managing capacity, etc. If I am an AP (non FL resident), staying onsite at a disney hotel then count me in the same...

Not really an effect; but I miss the pre safety spiel star tunnel at Space Mountain. I think it was a few years ago the iconic music is now drowned out by a looped safety spiel. Kills the nostalgia for me.

Best moderate, and with the recent room refurbishment the rooms are now a big step up and close to some of the more recent Deluxe offerings (obviously still smaller in sq ft). Out of our last 30 visits over the last decade, if we don't do deluxe we will do POFQ without hesitation! Compact...

I am in the same category, and this bothers me to no end as well. I don't like the AP reservation system to begin with, but if its truly a capacity/staff planning tool (as DIS stated in the beginning ); then why as an out of state AP with a Disney Resort reservation do I have to make a park...

We were recently in BLDG 1, renovated room, standard view queen 3rd floor (so not a corner - pretty sure all corner rooms are king anyway) and we had a walk in shower (no tub combo). We were right near some ADA rooms (thought it strange to have those on the 3rd floor), but ours was standard...

Just stayed building 1 standard view queen room and we had he walk in shower. We have stayed at POFQ a dozen times over the past decade; this renovation is great and really elevates the room to near Deluxe (considering what the new more generic Deluxe rooms are like). Now you are only giving...

they say a picture is worth a thousand words . . .

Magic kingdom definitely sucks a bit since you have to do the extra leg from the TTC. The other parks are fine, sometimes they seemed to run more on a schedule according to the bus drivers. Animal kingdom our entire stay picked up on the 15/45 from the park, and I found this to be easier to...

Well, just received the email today that they are canceling my 10/23 - 10/30 stay, so looks like all of Oct is out.

I am in the same boat as you, 2 rooms booked last week in Oct booked for 7 nights. If you call the hotel directly you of course get a recording to leave a message, so I called the swan directly. They know nothing, and are claiming they have not been told when the Swan Reserve will open, so...

I don’t have much of a problem with Disney allowing a private event, but to do so during a week where MK already closes more than a handful of times for a tickets event means that those staying this week only have 1 evening at MK in the evening hours with normal tickets. Again, allow it, but...

I do think prices have reached levels that are pushing the boundaries of sanity, but as some others have alluded, I have yet to find a comparable vacation that provides similar levels of entertainment and escape for me. However (with a capital 'H'), my fault lies not with the price increases...

Wife and I have no kids. We go for several reasons: 1. I am ADD, so the thought of sitting on a beach somewhere only works for me for about a day, then I am bored. Equally my wife cannot stand being trapped on a boat (even when we tried a grand suite on a cruise ship) so those are out as...

We stayed at yacht club 3 weeks ago, via hotels.com getting 15% off Disney’s best nightly rate and we literally had the exact same type room on the 3rd floor. It was as far from the elevator as you could get, we were 3rd floor overlooking the exact type of roof in your picture (believe it was...
