    Benefit of staying onsite vs. cost

    This is also a struggle for me. One of the best vacations I ever had was when I stayed at World Center Marriott. I also think Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress is one of the greatest hotels in the area. I think there are better hotels than Disney hotels. This being said, there is something to...

    Better Chance of Upgrade by in-person Check-in?

    Thanks for the information! I was just curious what people thought. Last year I checked in at POFQ and the CM said "I have a much better room for your." It was the same cost but the greatest location. I also remember when I was in college I worked afternoons/evenings at a desk and I...

    Better Chance of Upgrade by in-person Check-in?

    For some reason I am thinking there is a better chance of upgrade by checking-in in-person and not online. When I check-in they seem to do a good job finding good rooms. I think of online check-in as completely arbitrary and they just take any room. Thoughts?

    If you had to choose ONE resort......

    To be close to the World, but NOT go to parks, I would without question go to Hyatt Grand Cypress. For a Disney resort, Beach Club. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g34515-d144433-Reviews-Hyatt_Regency_Grand_Cypress-Orlando_Florida.html

    Rent from Timeshare owner, can you still get free dining?

    You need to pay for the dining plan when you arrive at the resort. No free dining unless you book a villa direct through Disney.

    Anyone stay recent at POFQ?

    I was also there last year. I would say the same; it needs to be updated and more polished. I also found the food court less accommodating for special diet requirements than ALL other Disney locations. This being said, I am going back in 2 weeks. The size and bus service make up for...

    Got Three PIN Codes in 2 Months

    I don't understand PIN Codes. I have received 3 PIN Codes in 2 months, but at the same time, I feel like I could not BUY an upgrade if I paid double. This Disney discount thing is a mystery I will never understand. The PIN Codes I received are all different but offer nothing more than...

    Value Resort Internet

    It's better to buy a pre-paid wireless (cell type--Verizon, AT&T). I purchased one from CVS for $50.00 and added $25.00 of "time" and had wireless access (no cords) everywhere I went. Overall not a lot cheaper but a lot easier to use and you can take it anywhere.

    ASMU suite still available for free dining

    There are tons of room available for September. I booked 10 days last night and the agent told me any resort I want is available and almost any room type. This is early Sep. I understand there are fewer options for late Sep.

    Your favorite Deluxe

    I agree with you. I like Disney resorts but the best resorts I have found are off site. I stayed at Marriott, pool view, valet parking, super service, great food, fantastic spa and attention beyond any Disney resort. And it was less expensive. To get the same Disney service (if you...

    Really they are booked full in 2 weeks?

    I have noticed times when few rooms are avaialble when free dining is selected. When free dining is not selected (regular rate, regular price) far more rooms are available. They must limit the number of rooms for free dining.

    Shopping Service/Grocery Delivery

    Thank you for the information!!!! I am curious to know if anyone can think of a store closer to the resorts that stocks a good selection of gluten free, nut free types of foods. The only place I found was Whole Foods. Last year I rented a car and drove there to buy stuff and it was a...

    This is great news! I had thought they needed a preferred section because of the size.

    The All-New "unofficial" AKL/AKV's Jambo & Kidani FAQ thread.....

    I am confused by what I read vs. what is posted on Disney website. Is Kadani only villas and no regular rooms? So all of the regular rooms are in Jambo? Is this true? I understand Kadani is a real far walk to dining options. Is this true? Thanks in advance!

    Your favorite Deluxe

    Contemporary and the Polynesian for me. Probably because for me they define Disney World.

    Can you swim in late November

    I think it has a lot to do with the person. Much below 90 for me and swimming is out unless to pool water is 90+!
