Bit the bullet. We cancelled Rose & Crown and switched to Marrakesh. I'm sure we'll be happy, but I'll be sure to at least stop by the pub for some British ale :cool2:

Yeah, rereading what I wrote, it seems Marrakesh should be the choice. Still, I really like what Rose & Crown brings to the table too. I am a fan of British pub grub and their selection of beers. One thing I am getting hung up on is that Rose & Crown seems so much more popular. For the...

Visiting EPCOT next week and simply can't decide between Marrakesh and Rose & Crown for dinner. Advice? We're currently holding a 7:30 pm ADR, which would seem to be the ideal time to try to score patio seating for Illuminations. Still, I don't think it's that big a deal. If we miss out, we...

:smooth: Perfect, thanks!

I know rooms aren't officially ready to check-in until 3 pm (but can be earlier). However, can I "check-in" at 10 am and immediately start using the resorts facilities, like Stormalong Bay? My assumption would be yes, but thought I would at least ask the all knowing here.

Stays at the Swan do not have access to Magical Express. You can book Fastpasses 60 days out.

Although I agree that adding resort fees are a slimy practice, why would you make it a reason to not stay there? As an educated consumer, you know it's being added and just factor it into the overall price. In this case, the OP would still be saving $150 per night over a property that's in a...

Rates for the two properties, which I would think would be a big factor in the decision, aren't mentioned. I just did a quick peek and it seems Saratoga Springs would be about $150 more per night, and that's even with the Dolphin's resort and parking fees. Yeah, that would make the Dolphin a...

Just log into your account on spg.com and book your points reservation for five nights. SPG will automatically only charge you for four nights. More info can be found at: http://www.starwoodhotels.com/preferredguest/account/starpoints/redeem/rooms.html#fifthNightFree

Keep in mind that if you have enough points for four nights at the Dolphin, you actually have five, as the fifth night is free. I personally much prefer the Swan to the Dolphin for many of the reasons listed above, but not sure I would pay the points premium needed. I value each Starpoint at...

By far the best two choices for a tourist who wants to enjoy San Diego would be either Coronado or downtown. On Coronado, the Del has already been mentioned and is a special property. There's also a Loews and a Marriott that are very nice too. Downtown, my favorite property is the U.S...

Disney Wonder Oct. 1 Baja 10A 2A2C [10, 8] $1898.12 with Tax. No OBB, no Insurance, no transfers

When is your trip? There are rumors that the Poly will be going under major renovations beginning as early as December that will take out the pool, GCH, etc. I would have serious reservations about booking there until something is confirmed.

If the choice is between two nights at BC or two nights at POR with MK tickets, the BC would be less expensive overall, particularly for a family of five; and it would also be the better choice between the two for a resort only stay. I would also take the BC over the Poly. Especially in...

Did you call the Swan/Dolphin or SPG to link your AAA number? Regardless, I would think a Starwood agent would be the only one that could do it.

I was assuming the OP actually meant from YC, based on the post. If the OP really meant from EP, this covers it.

Have them take the bus to MK and then it's an easy 5-10 minute walk to CR.

If money is somewhat of a concern, you might want to take a look at the Swan and Dolphin. The Dolphin has AAA rates as low as $125 in Sept and you can get a second room as low as $119 with their Stay Connected offer. The main drawbacks are that there will be a $14 resort fee added to each...

The standard rooms at the Dolphin accommodate two adults, three kids; the Swan's do not. Guests from both resorts can participate in EMH.
