    Anyone have BWI suggestions?

    Thanks Greg and Gretel! The short cut to MGM sounds great! Long walks to the elevator do not, I'll ask not to be placed at an end. I do generally valet anyway. Can't you tell how lazy I am? Excited about shortcuts, afraid of long hallway walks and valet all the way! LOL

    Anyone have BWI suggestions?

    Thanks Tara for the info! I didn't realize that some balconies were just the step out kind, I'd hate that. That's the reason I went to the YC instead of BC, because YC has all full size balconies and BC has both full and step out. I will definitely request a full balcony, that'll be more...

    GF sugar loaf

    I stayed there August of last year for 4 nights and thought it was worth the extra $ (I had a discounted AP rate $340 incl tax, not worth it at rack rate). My room was very nice, though I think identical to non-concierge in size. We had great bathroom toiletries that might be upgraded from...

    Anyone have BWI suggestions?

    I'll be staying at the BWI arriving June 6th for 6 nights. I've stayed at the Yacht Club and loved it, I know they're both deluxes but how do they compare otherwise? Any experiences with the kids center at BWI? I have a 5 yr old who loved the kids programs at GF and BC. I have 2 standard...

    GF sugar loaf

    Yes it's the less expensive concierge option... aka 'lodge concierge'. I think it has four floors. The building is very conveniently located, closest to main building, Gasparilla Grill and boats.

    Without a car, where can I get some groceries>

    Try www.netgrocer.com They will ship to hotels. Have never used the service, but others have posted success using this at Disney. Also, the prices are lower than the Goodings at the Crossroads (closest supermarket to Disney). You'll pay shipping, so you won't save much money, but you should...

    any itinerary ideas?

    Hi, I plan to visit SW for the first time on my upcoming trip in June. We are planning to be there when the park opens. We may try going 2 half days, if that simplifies things. I don't think we are gutsy enough for Kraken, we can probably handle Journey to Atlantis. Everything there...

    twinx4, The treat I referred to is a welcome gift that Loews gives their members on the first night stay. I'm not sure what all the choices are, but I chose milk and cookies. The cookies were huge and good tasting. I only received it on my stay at PBH, though you're supposed to receive it...

    Different Swan/Dolphin question

    Webmaster John, I'm confused. I was positive that after booking through the DU site a ressie couldn't be transferred over to Disavers (because of the other planning provided by the full service agents at DU). Was I wrong? I was so convinced of this that I just returned from a 5 night stay...

    What is your date and rate? 2003

    I had a very hard time getting a good rate for my June visit so I thought I'd pass along the information I was told during my many phone calls to the 800 Loews # and direct# to RP. Royal Pacific's Entertainment Book rate for mid June -a booking beginning June 15th and 16th are available at...

    Ellie&mattysmom, The name of the restaurant was Jake's American Bar. Not many choices on the dinner menu, but my husband had a cheese steak sandwich and I had a club sandwich and both were tasty. Mine had avocado on it, which I expected to dislike, but enjoyed it. There was also a kids...

    Hi Minnie, When we checked into the PBH in July my daughter (then 4yrs old) didn't receive a welcome gift. That's not to say that they don't give them out, because RP gave her one (and you received one at HRH) so they probably do. The girl who checked us in was 'unremarkable'. She only...

    Hi Amy, Yes we had a deluxe pool view room with balcony... and the view was pretty. Some don't have balconies, so try to request one in advance. I'm not sure which pool we were overlooking though it was sprawling and beautiful... until you just asked I didn't even realize they had more than...

    We stayed at PBH in July 2002. I'd visited Universal a few years earlier and saw this hotel just before it opened and vowed I would stay here someday. It is a drop dead gorgeous hotel, inside and out. You really feel transported to Italy. We had an upgraded category room with pool view and...

    Different Swan/Dolphin question

    Hi, I'm wondering if one of the webmasters can answer this question for me... I'm eligible for the Nurse/ Teacher discount rate of $129 per night at the Swan or Dolphin, do you offer the rebate on that rate? Or is it non-commissionable? Many Thanks, sofifi97

    Would someone please help us chose between Dixie Landngs and Hotel Royal Plaza?

    I've never stayed at POR, but I've stayed at Hotel Royal Plaza and HATED the lanai room (and the lanai section in general) I was assigned to. It was on par with a HoJo. I've heard the tower rooms are better, and that section of the hotel did seem nicer, though I didn't get to look beyond the...

    NEW-STARWOOD PREFERRED GUEST-Questions/Answers

    I had to call the Dolphin to book an extra room for my inlaws and before I finished up I asked the reservation agent if I can use my spg points to buy club level priviledges on my ressie. He told me I can only get club level privies if I stay in a club level room and that the hotel's very...
