We were there Aug. 12-19 and I tested positive for covid too, a couple days after the trip. We didn't have much of a problem with the crowds but I paid for Genie+ and a few ILL, so we didn't deal with standby lines, and we had a DVC villa, so we didn't do a ton of dining in the parks. We also...

Yeah I think the app is glitchy. When I tried the draw tool I couldn't get most of the options that came up by just clicking the Bonnet Creek area...

I'd play around with the dates over the last couple weeks of August because I saw longer stays pop up earlier, but an example I'm seeing right now: 8/24-27 YC water view $237/night GF garden view $385/night *I'm not a Hotwire expert, but these appear to match based on location/ratings/room...

For anyone still looking for that late August YC water view room deal, I think I saw it on Hotwire (as a hot rate though). $240s. Only seeing on the app. Wish I could go.

Nice! Curious if you confirmed it is a regular water view room category linking it on MDE? That “bedroom 1” and “bedroom 2” description is odd!

Also 9/27-9/29 at Contemporary, main tower lake view (probably newly refurbished room!) for $486/night. That's also about 40% off rack rate.

Just a friendly alert that for those with flexibility, who might only be wanting to book or add on a day or two, there are some transparent "deals" (just in regular search where it tells you what hotel you're booking, not blind express deals) that definitely beat Disney's prices on Priceline...

It’s not that easy when you’re on vacation and have other kids with you, and no car. (Used Magical Express like most Disney guests did.) None of the car services we tried to schedule could provide the correct (safe) or enough car seats to transport my family to an urgent care, if there was even...

Oh, babies are actually much easier to bring to Disney than ages 2-5 or so, in our experience! :) Unless they unfortunately get sick, of course, but no kid is easy when they’re sick. Then, yeah, they might cry at night and (in response to what someone else suggested) no, in my situation I was...

I'd ask to move rooms if it's an ongoing problem. Coming from a parent who was once on the other side -- I completely understand how annoying it is. But it's not likely a parent wants to hear their kid crying and is letting the crying go on to spite their neighbors. Most likely, they're stressed...

What did the upgrade offer end up being?

We've stayed at the Grand Floridian a few times now. First time was on our honeymoon, and we thought that'd be the only time because we are by no means rich, but, well... we really enjoyed that stay! I suppose my family looks somewhat well-put together, in a casual vacation way, but we're not...

Yep, we walked from Jambo to the Kidani pools. I prefer the Jambo pool but the splash pad area for kids is fun at Kidani.

If they're the same price, GF Sugarloaf, but I would feel silly spending the same amount without the added value of food throughout the day.

An AP will be more than 2x the price of a 10-day park hopper ticket (unless you are a DVC member or FL resident). Personally, even with the discounts an AP might give you, I wouldn't invest in APs unless you're sure you'd make a second trip within the year. Assuming by two weeks you mean 14...

My guess is also Beach Club, but when you consider the total after Hotwire's fees, you can currently get a BC room on those dates for not much more on Undercover Tourist and it's a guarantee it's that resort/allows cancellations.

I see the Swan for April 2 - 4.5 stars, $161. I have booked the Swan before on Priceline so I see the “you’ve booked here before” hint.

Grand Floridian (main building, RPC) will have more food options and will definitely feel more luxurious -- my husband and I stayed in a king room, which was beautiful. We definitely felt special. Polynesian club level is great in its own way (love the view from the lounge), and it's convenient...

When I was in college, I took advantage of a crazy last minute flight deal to spend one day/night at Disney. So yeah, I’d go for it!

What are your exact dates for the Swan? It is frequently discounted as a Priceline Express deal.
