"changing down" !!!
How could you possibly even consider suggesting such a thing....there are riff-raff commoners back there behind those partitions you know. Would you believe it, they only have 36" seat pitch, and they can't even turn their seat into a bed !
Good heavens, change down, i'd rather die!.


Fantastic choice of hotels though, I think i'd be wanting to stay in those all day to get my moneys worth !

Just out of interest. What do you get with a concierge room????

The exact benefits of concierge service will vary depending on the resort, but typically you get a slightly upgraded room (with a few more facilities) and a nicer room location. You also have pre-itinerary planning services - you are able to e-mail your resort before your trip and they will arrange all of your ADRs for you and also help you to secure popular reservations. They also help with any special surprises you may wish to plan.

Upon arrival you receive private check-in on the concierge level (or in the case of the Polynesian in the concierge longhouse) and you have access to the concierge lounge which serves a whole host of complimentary drinks and snacks throughout the day, to include a continental breakfast and hot dishes in the evening. There is also a dessert service in the evening.

Throughout your stay the concierge cast members are able to offer advice and assist with any requests. They go out of their way to help ensure their guests are totally happy. The higher level of service is the best thing about concierge in my opinion.
