Apologies if this was covered somewhere in this thread, but what's the deal with the bare, black speakers that are obviously thrown onto the Mansion facade's balconies to facilitate the new (and far too noisy) background music? They really couldn't bother to conceal those at all? I was overall...

Phantom Manor is a very different attraction.

Some very obnoxious posts here. It'd be nice to have a real conversation about these numbers. (Are we forgetting that all the parks work with the TEA to massage these? They are in no way accurate.)

If you want some solid food without leaving the property, I strongly recommend Vivo in Citywalk. Great drinks, tasty food, shockingly reasonable prices.

Aha! So it *is* covered by the fullboard plan purchasable with Sequoia Lodge reservations? Is it possible to add the fullboard plan after the hotel/ticket reservations have already been made?

Everything about what you're saying here makes sense except for the unfortunate fact that the full board plan does not include Walt's, which we'd really like to visit.

May 14-16!

We're missing Storybookland (bummer), Hyperspace Mountain (kind of a bummer but also maybe not super essential in its current form?), the Parachute Drop (don't really care), and the Carpets (really don't care). It is nice that they seem to be investing in regular refurbishments after so many...

The selection from the hotel site specified "near facilities," so I assume that's main building. Is it better to request a lodge?

For what it's worth, this still happens. On our last visit, we saw Mad Hatter and Alice ride the Tea Cups. Mary Poppins and Bert rode the carousel.

An update: We were initially going to book Hotel Cheyenne but realized upgrading to Sequoia Lodge was less than $100 total, so we went with that. That theme is definitely more our style, and it appears to be a smidge closer to the parks. We also had great luck getting dining reservations. We...

Thanks for this. I do like having AC, so we may go up a tier to the Hotel Cheyenne.

Is there anything particularly wrong with the Hotel Santa Fe? We really only need a convenient place to crash and a way to access on-site perks like early park entry.

I don't think it has been fixed yet. Ridiculous but apparently the standard now - more than a few major figures that have been missing or broken for months on end.

Thank you all for the advice. Sounds like the half board plan is the way to go - I think I can get the math to math there. I don't think I'm seeing any real "offers" popping up - not sure where those would appear, but if someone could point me in the right direction on that front, I'd...
