DISNEY SPRINGS HOTELS

[aurora64]

I posted this a couple weeks ago and didn’t get much response. Any of you who have stayed at these hotels have any knowledge of the Disney perks available?
1) Early entry eligible?
2) Busing and how often?
3) 60 day out booking window for dining?
4) Ability to get ILL/Genie + at 7am?

I appreciate all input. Thanks everyone

Planning to do a neighbour hotel and this is what ive found out. So no actual real life experience.

1) yes for some
2) yes but most people seem to complain they arent very good and the first bus gets you to the gate quite late for early entry. Also not classified as disney so its ticket and transportation centre not straight to the gates.
3) Not an available perk
4)Yes but it has a higher likelihood of not working. First day in particular it might not link properly.

Also resort fees. We are planning to stay on points so this wont be an issue. But some are $35 a day. Which can negate savings when compared to a value / moderate resort.

If we do end up staying at disney springs buena vista palace. I think we will get up a bit earlier and walk over to saratoga and get the bus from there. But we are 2 30 year old adults this might be a pain with kids.

The Disney Springs hotels are not neighbor hotels (Good Neighbor) so depending on which you are talking about there would be different amenities.

Apologies about the ILL. I was under the impression that it was available. Never mind i have days at POFQ so hopefully can do those rides at that time.

If i wasnt getting it on points i would consider extending my POFQ at this point. Because of the UK deals on.

Official park opening for ILLs. You do not need to have entered the park. You can book the ILLs from anywhere.
