Do you notice in the picture RPR boat dock is not in the same spot but where the vollyball beach is.

Guess T1 will be closer to the boats then?

Lol I did notice. I'm going to try and get better pictures before I head out Thursday.

We're booked at Sapphire for July 24th, I know it's shortly after it's opening. Anyone have thoughts that all the restaurants will be open? Another thought, I wonder if the entire resort will be done, or do you think construction will still be going on? We're really looking forward to trying a different resort-we booked a Sapphire suite to have some more room, just hoping all the amenities will be available. I've never stayed at a resort so soon after opening!

Have a great time. I wonder if they will offer the characters breakfast like the other resorts? Would love to hear your view on the hotel. We are staying at RPR and SF in Oct.

Please take pictures of the sapphire suite if you can. I'm sure everyone would love to see it.

Thinking about booking this summer....is the general consensus that SF will NOT have express passes for guests?

It won't have EP.

It was announced early on it wouldn't have it.

 

[macraven]

Website also states EE but no ep

I'm thinking of booking a few nights to see the new resort. Plus would like to know what the Loews You First Platnium upgrade suite is.

ok, you go first and give us the low down.

the only way i would try SF is to first do most of my stay at rpr, then do the last night at SF.
i'd still get the ep for that day from rpr stay.

I might do it a night before switching to RPR or PBH.

Forgive me if this has been answered, but I can't seem to find the information here nor on the map. Will there be a water taxi from SF to CW?

 

[macraven]

yes, there will be a water taxi for SF to CW

We're staying in one of their Sapphire suite's-can't wait, going July 24th. Giving up the ep, but we're early risers, so I think with some planning we'll get on the rides we want to. Since King Kong won't have the ep, we thought we'd like to try a different hotel, and loving the Caribbean theme! I keep checking you tube for updates, great pics by the way!

Only problem going in July is you will face tour groups and crowds

Use the single rider lines as much as you can

For Kong and hulk, they might take crowds away from other sections of the parks
That can work in your benefit

You would be able to cover a lot at ioa if many are in line for those rides
Go opposite of those line waits

Good luck and have a blast!

does anyone know if the boats to CW are handicap accessible? or if you are allowed to bring a wheelchair on if you can transfer and collapse the chair?

 

[macraven]

The water taxis for the other 3 hotels are able to take wc, electric scooters, strollers and they don't have to be closed

A ramp will be used for wc entrance and exits off the boat

They are completely handicap compliant

 

[smidgy]

thanks! I wasn't sure as Ithought they might say you can use the bus. my husband had major back surgery, so I'll be pushing him around this trip.

I did not know Mr Smidgy had back surgery!
I hope he is healing well and will improve real soon

Doing this vacation will be so relaxing for him and hope you both have a blast!
