@ajrwdwgirl , this one is for you -- one of my favorite spots at the SWAN. Do you recall these hidden courtyard gems, on the right and left sides of the hallway, before you reached the exit doors (in the direction of the Friendship Boats)? It was so quiet and peaceful out there, and I'd have coffee and a muffin in the mornings out there. :cat:

Grrrr...so I got all ready to make my fastpass selections and I could have sworn it was like dining reservations, that you can start at 6 online, but if you do it by phone it's not until 7. Apparently that is not the case. I'm logged in and it's still locked and every time I click on it, it says I can't make my reservations until the 26th. Um...yeah, it IS the 26th. And if I try to go straight to the fastpass section where I have to click on the members of the party, it doesn't recognize someone in our party...first it was my husband, then it was my son, now it's my daughter. And if I click on "link tickets", I type in my confirmation number and last name and it says I'm the person listed on the reservation and to ask me to be added. So I called the Disney line in the UK and they can't help me because the phone line for the U.S. doesn't open for another half an hour. So I can't do anything for another 30 minutes and hope that it IS actually just that it isn't open yet and not that there is a tech problem with my account because otherwise I'm losing valuable time here to get the things I want. And I also just read that the fastpass I wanted for the Anna and Elsa meet and greet doesn't exist anymore after June 16th, that they move to Epcot, but there's no fastpass for it. But everything online says if you don't get a fastpass for that, you'll wait HOURS, even if you get there at rope drop. I can't believe they only have one place in all of WDW to meet them if they are that popular. Anyway....I guess I just have to wait.

Ugh, that is frustrating. All the time difference would have me super confused. I hope you are able to get what you need and want. Keep us updated.

Budget cuts -- and . . . Astroturf doesn't need to be mowed or watered! ;) :D

To be fair, it also doesn't die and turn brown when massive amounts of people walk on it. It doesn't create mud to drag around the park and it fits the need for the shows and parades. I don't understand why being "real" is such an issue while we sit and stare at a plastic castle. Personally, I don't remember the hub being more aesthetically pleasing and functional then it is now. Just a difference of opinion, I guess.:)

And an opinion that we share. It looks great to us, and it's much easier to get around during parade or fireworks times. Why people are fixated on the fact that they used artificial grass is just totally confusing to us.

Sympathy like. I hope you finally got everything sorted out. Good news A&E line isn't great but not as bad as it once was. I hope they open up fp for them before your trip

I managed to get everything, but not really at the times I wanted...it's more difficult than I imagined it would be to puzzle everything together when you have to have an hour between selections, and then you have to take ADR times into consideration as well, and then try to get everything in early enough to possibly make more fast pass selections later, AND fit in an afternoon nap. Wow. But I got it all puzzled together into a reasonable schedule. I think.
