We are a family of 4 (two boys) and I tip a minimum of 10$ a day (at a deluxe, CL usually). It sounds like a lot, but my kids & husband are a hot mess, and I appreciate how hard the housekeepers work keeping our room looking good.
I just got back from a CL Poly stay--I would like to email disney and let them know about how fantastic a few of the Hawaii building cast members were, but can't remember their names for the life of me. I do remember a few details, like dates and times they were working, where they were from...
I've been calling several times a week in the hopes that a military rate for out dates opens up, and today it did! I about inhaled my coffee when the cast member said they had it!!! Got that switched from the AP rate asap! I could have kissed that cast member :D
4 days, y'all! Can't wait!
We sponsored a block of rooms for my husbands family and all of them too ubers from the airport with little issue. They did say the ride was A LOT more than expected. Not sure why or what the deal with that was (never taken uber in my life), but his brother uses it regularly and said it was $$$...
I switched up our reservation 17 days before check in, and was able to pick the colors. Our new magic bands arrived yesterday, 7 days out from check in.
Honestly, I wouldn't take the cast member you spoke with at their word. Over the years I've discovered not every cast member is as familiar with the military discount as they might be with regular rates. I know sometimes there are minimum stay requirements, discount only available if you book...
I just booked it as the AP discount. I call them pretty regularly to check for the military discount (on the off chance someone cancels). All of the reservation cast members I speak with tell me it's pretty simple process to switch and or apply discounts. Sometimes it requires making a new...
I'm not sure how the December rates differ from May, but we're paying an AP rate of 414/night for a standard view. We've tried for YEARS to get a military discount rate at the poly, but never ever seems to be available, so we just saved and saved and the AP rate is the best I could find for our...
Could use some advice, y'all. I'm traveling with my husband and two sons (4,2).
I currently have a SV at the poly booked with the AP discount for week after next. I called and for 200$ more we could book a Studio villa w/ QS dining plan (military discount). The military discount wasn't...
I can't seem to find any pictures from our September 2016 trip, but we always request "Palm Wing, Lobby Level, close to Lobby" and have gotten rooms close to the lobby, but not right by the elevators. Last trip we sponsored a bunch of family members--our rooms were together (right near the...
I just switched us from Beach Club to The Poly (5/13 - 5/21)! We normally stay at BC or Shades of Green, and I've been drooling over the poly for years, sooo excited we were able to make it work this trip!! 17 Days!!
Random: but I've been trying to call disney to modify our May 2017 reservation (Club Level please!) and the wait times are always AT LEAST 30 minutes!
:confused3
We've stayed at shades several times over the years, and found it easiest to walk to the poly and then use their transportation. I timed it last trip, and it took us 8 minutes from the lobby of shades to Capt Cooks at the Poly--and thanks to my franken-foot I'm barley faster than a turtle.
