Never had an issue with A/C in the 30 years I’ve been I’ve been staying there. Odd post.

I do enjoy these properties. It's where I used to stay with my family before my dad passed, so some special memories there. The dining is overall pretty good, especially for an adults trip.

@wdwmagic Is the room refresh really set to be done this year? If so, has anyone seen what the new rooms look like?

We had problems the last two times, glad it hasn’t been an issue for you.

Only if you tether a Mickey balloon in the exact center of the room and use the in-room listening device to Google a thermostat hack from the internet

They're the newer motion detection AC units that turn off when there's no motion (including at night). You need to find a youtube video to override them.

Thats what they say, but I have not seen one yet. I will see what I can find out.

That sounds pretty Orwellian for me , too much for me

I admit I always get this confused, is it the swan that has double beds vs queens, or the other way around?

While I still say theme park view contemporary is the best spot in all of the resort (full disclosure this come with not having had pleasure of animal kingdom view room) we also love S/D. Great location, already existing good amenities, and really all the benefits of a Disney Deluxe stay. Having an "on property" location that you can use Marriot points at is also a great opportunity for savings when planning a trip, with limited loss of perks.

They began refurbing a few floors this summer. I'll try to find some pictures and post them here. I don't remember being floored when I saw them however.

And I thought Disney was bad about removing all color from their rooms. This looks bad. This isn't inviting and relaxing. This is someone's first apartment and they went to Ikea for furniture.

I agree,.. at first glance that is very dull looking. They could have at least added decor to the wall behind the bed to add more color or something

Yikes! It looks like a Fairfield Inn...no, actually I think they might be a little more interesting looking than this.
So cold and cheap looking...you could be in any hotel anywhere....Certainly looks neither Luxe or unique...

Large white wall, white bedspread, white desk under the TV - I'm fairly allergic to color in my own home but think they should have something here more than the small picture over the couch. I do like the switch from carpet to laminate. Much easier to keep clean.
