    YC stairs to 2nd Floor Rooms

    Yes there is a staircase in the lobby area - we've used it once when we had a 2nd floor room - super convenient.

    Switched from YC to Swan

    And have zero regrets! We love YC but the price difference led me to switch. And I gotta say, we are just as happy over here. I thought the not using magic bands would be an issue since my teens are independent enough that they often roam (and hence charge) on their own. But with room charge on...

    Can you share a place you couldnt wait to eat but was a huge letdown

    I got food poisoning last summer from dining at FF too. About halfway through my entree I realized that my fish was incredibly undercooked (as in raw center). The server offered to replace it, but my appetite was lost. To my surprise it remained on my bill. And then just a few hours later, I was...

    Canceling Boardwalk and moving to Swan within 12 days of trip, what issues should I be aware of?

    You should be fine, especially if you await cancellation for after you link the Swan reservation. I just switched us from YCCL to Swan standard to save $1600. FPs are intact. I even called today because MDE showed only my name (but not kids) on the Swan reservation. CM confirmed that it...

    Is there an internal bus at Art of Anim to get to food court?

    Same! We stayed for a couple nights on a spontaneous trip and our whole family said nope, AoA is a one and done on our list.

    Champagne at The Regata Club @ Yacht Club??

    Yes! We stayed last July and there was a sparkling wine offering each evening. It was also cheerfully served during the day upon request.

    Contemporary Resort vs. Animal Kingdom Lodge

    I like both resorts but for different reasons, many which have already been pointed out above. AKL is my 3rd fave deluxe, mostly because it feels the most relaxing to me and the pool feels large and uncrowded. I am an early riser, and enjoy wandering the resort with coffee in hand while my kids...

    Contemporary or Polynesian?

    The modern, minimalist design of the room decor feels more upscale to me, as do the dining options. Compare The Wave with 'Ohana (relaxed vs noisy), California Grill vs. no signature, and Contempo Cafe vs. Captain Cook's (Contempo has more varied and healthier offerings, which feels more upscale...

    Contemporary or Polynesian?

    Another vote for CR. It is so convenient to walk to MK, especially at the end of the night when the monorail is crowded. There is a splash area for your youngest to play in. It feels much more relaxed and upscale than Poly. And I prefer Contempo Cafe over Captain Cook's. I agree with Collette...

    If You Could Have Breakfast Anywhere on Property......

    Yes! If on a Sunday, then this moves up (several notches) over Boma. But if a weekday or Saturday, I stand by Boma :)

    If You Could Have Breakfast Anywhere on Property......

    Boma! All the standard offerings plus ones that are not so standard. French toast bread pudding with warm praline (or vanilla) sauce. Grilled asparagus and tomatoes. Carved meat (I think ham but not sure - I'm vegetarian). Scrambled eggs with goat cheese. Made to order omelettes. Some of the...

    Annual Pass Members Get Screwed...

    The Fun & Sun room only discount that was released today is 30% for several deluxes and 40% for AP holders. I didn't check for other categories since we were focused on booking YC. Anyway, since there was a better rate for AP holders for at least some resorts, you may want to double check your...

    Actually cutting your trip short because of kids misbehaving

    We have never cut our trip short, but we did have a variation on this theme. When my kids were younger (around ages 7 and 9), one of them was behaving out of control. After several warnings and chances, I said that I would hire a babysitter if the behavior didn't improve. My then 7 year old told...

    Question about Checking Out A Day Early

    I'm really sorry for your loss. This past spring I took my boys to CSR for their spring break. On our second night I received a call that my mom passed away unexpectedly. It was the middle of the night, I was in shock, there alone with my kids, and the CMs were excellent in helping me get...

    Which resort is best for a resort only short trip?

    I think the pool at the Poly is small - the pool at AKL feels so much larger and has more seating/lounging. Also, I love the vibe at AKL - one of my best experiences was wandering around in the mornings with my coffee before the kids woke up, just checking things out - even in the hallways there...

    How have your Disney resort needs changed now that you have teenagers?

    Same here! When my boys were little it was all about proximity to MK, so when I could afford it, WL and CR were the way to go (no need to wake up kids and fold up that dang stroller!) Once they outgrew the stroller, they loved the values - the over the top theming and the food courts captivated...
