How far down the hall are rooms blocked? Thanks!

I appreciate Disney’s Value Resorts but feel these are best experienced by families with young children. Since your family includes teenagers, I’d exclude all of these. Our teenagers wanted to spend a lot of time at the pool. They also wanted independence. A resort like the Boardwalk has a...

Cabanas was open for our DCL cruises. In fact, we were in the last group called on our most recent cruise and sat in Cabanas waiting to be called. But they did stop serving food at least 30 minutes before we were called.

This is the part of your cruise than angers me the most about DCL. On our DCL cruises, we also felt pressured to give the wait staff a perfect score, with their jobs absolutely depending on it. I don't blame them. I blame Disney. Disney clearly doesn't want honest feedback and should be...

Have you tried to book a room for your nights?

Thank you! When you say the farthest wing, do you mean rooms are blocked off at point A or point B in the below drawing?

We find that the Oasis pool clears out in the evening, starting at around 5 PM. In the winter, it's typically too cold in the evening to enjoy the pools, but in months with longer days, hanging out at the pools after 5 PM can be glorious!

Yes, looks like annual rate rates through the evening of October 31. Seems like Universal is seeing soft bookings. Typically, AP rates are available 2-3 months before. They currently have AP rates out for the next 6 months.

If you want to get creative, one option is to book a one-bedroom suite at Portofino Bay (officially sleeps 6 including 4 adults). That gets you 6 Express Passes. Then you book a second room at Endless Summer for the other 2 adults. Those 2 adults can use the 2 extra Express Passes from...

Can you please be more specific? Sounds like you are looking for rooms for 4 adults and 2 children. With one pair of adults in one room, the children in a second (connecting) room, and the second pair of adults in a third room. What are your exact dates? Generally, if you are booking...

The Cabins are much more like a one-bedroom villa than a Studio. They sleep 6, and have a separate living room and kitchen.

In a nutshell, this shows what's wrong with DVD leadership. Putting in a line for a washer would have been a huge benefit for DVC members but would have eaten into profits. No one should be surprised which way DVD leadership went with this.

Is anyone on these boards at the Boardwalk now? If so, are the hallways to the Standard View rooms still blocked about halfway down the hallway, or is the hallway completely open now?

You want to add the day before you use the last day on you ticket, essentially upgrade from a 4-day to a 5-day ticket. Based on your start date of 11/18, a 4-day adult (ages 10 and over) non-hopper ticket is $646.18 with tax. A 5-day ticket is $728.85. Thus, the incremental cost of the ticket...

Certainly, it's the longest it's ever taken to construct a corn dog stand!

September 10 to September 16? That includes Friday and Saturday nights. It can be tough to get weekend APH rates. The hotels generally fill up on Saturday night, not much need for Universal to offer APH rates for Saturdays, especially the Hard Rock. I'd grab one of the other hotels now and...

For fun, I checked a few days earlier. Here are some of the APH rates at the Hard Rock for September 24 (35% discount on the Garden View 2 Queen Room):

Looks like APH rates are now available for as late as September 26.

Thanks for the reply! Since you rarely go to WDW and since you don’t know when you’ll be back, maybe consider skipping KSC and just focus on WDW. I’m a bit of a space nut and enjoyed the KSC as well as the Rocket and Space Center in Huntsville. However, unless the boys are begging you to go...

Very excited for your upcoming trip! Going to the theme parks nonstop is exhausting, so it's good to have one or two down days on an 8-night trip. Still, there's no one size fits all answer. Have the two children ever been to WDW before? When are you next likely to return? Why the Kennedy...
