Because it is the under-developed, poorly thought out, across the parking lot, across the street, overflow venue for a nicer set of hotels? This should have been a cat 5 to pull the non-convention stays out of the S&D so that their conference room blocks wouldn't sell out any more (and they...

Not a fan of the delta, but glad red got some attention. It is my favorite.

I am not sure why the assumption here is the entire resort is being themed. There are 650 rooms according to Disney's conference website, so I would expect that these will be upcharge rooms like at other resorts. And remember, the Contemporary is a conference hotel and the conference hotel...

To be honest - the S&D are juuuust at the edge of what I would consider coinvent access for a Cat 6 hotel that bills its location as an amenity (vs an out of the way spa resort or something). That added distance from Reserve, which requires crossing streets and parking lots, is asking a lot. It...

Can I just say as a Marriott traveler that this hotel - at the anticipated price and reward category - does not actually look that enticing? And honestly I should be a target demo. The S&D are at least unique stays and are in relatively close proximity to the action. It is going to be a serious...

After months of calls and hours on the phone, today my very persistent CM finally figured out Disney botched the mail merge on my address and sent it to my house number and street but to a different town and zip. They are re-issuing the check and have escalated it to the finance department. My...

Q: Why is Pop Warner’s Super Bowl and National Cheer and Dance Championships switching from Disney to Universal Orlando Resorts and Camping World Stadium? A: We continue to have a great relationship with Disney and are sure families will visit the parks that week. While Disney has played host...

Go on....

I will try.... I think one overarching issue with the entire attraction would be that it is inherently about colonialism and because of its age it is overt about stereotypes that have long since been understood to be offensive. Beyond TS (which absolutely reinforces what I am about to say), the...

Well, it wasn't filmed with a selfie-stick (I know that because they are banned!). The mask was there to protect the production crew and other participants in the video. Also, consistent example goes along way in getting compliance with mask wearing in the parks and for projecting the image of...

Two of my three went back on my CC. The third got referred to the check process. They have never offered to try the credit card again. I may push for that when I call back next.

So some more info from my call yesterday: *they literally have no way to track this process at all* After the AP team sends the request for refund to the finance department -- that is it. They have no more access to information. They have no idea when it will mail or if it has mailed. They can...

My only thought would be if they needed a different class of DL for whatever Disney has planned. Ex: Maybe they are adding mini-buses? This whole situation is just....odd.

Thanks for this! I am also missing a refund that was allegedly mailed. I need to call them back.

This photo perfectly represents this Disney era's dumpster-fire-of-throwing-standards-to-the-wind-with-out-of-scale-and-poorly-thought-out design work. And that skyline looks like trash.

I guess I have two comments: 1) I would say the Muppets are widely beloved but widely not popular. 2) I think folks are generally underestimating the high likelihood that this attraction has always had controversy. This is not meant to devolve into a political discussion -- just think back...

There has to be more to this decision. This undermines over a decade of business strategy. Forget the impact on guests. This will likely have an appreciable impact on the business.

Certainly could be a mail delay, but perhaps they should not just toss $1k+ checks out into the wild with literally no ability to track it. I know it will eventually sort itself out. I have just been on the phone and/or chat with them about 5-7 times at this point.

Still hasn't arrived. Called back. Disney says the Dec 3 date corresponds to when the check was issued and readied for mail. Not the date it actually mailed. They suggested postal delays could be to blame. Really? A 28 day postal delay? Tried to get it reissued. They said to keep waiting...

I can get behind some of the above. 1-6 are largely fine (although I think the feds have authority to exercise more force on item 6 than you suggest). We are a union of states but with a federal government for a reason. [No one is suggesting a command economy here, by the way.] This is one of...
