How are the bag check lines during checkout hours? I’ve heard that some resorts have had massive issues with bag check lately.

How are the bag check lines during checkout hours? I’ve heard that some resorts have had massive issues with bag check lately.

Assuming you're talking about checking bags with Bell Services, our experience about a month ago wasn't too bad. We were checking out on Easter, needing bags transferred to CSR. When we left a little after 11, the line was a bit daunting, but it only took 5-10 mins to get to the front. The CMs were rushing through the line a bit to help minimize wait times for guests, but otherwise it worked out great for us in the end.

We are staying here in June. Does anyone have a list of daily activities for kids at the resort. Are the movies being shown at night?
Thanks

Saw our first Rocket Launch Wednesday night!

All-Star Movies felt like the right place because seeing something like that felt like it was right out of the Movies!

This picture is from after the main part of the launch-didn't want to be looking into a camera during the best part!

What is critter round up? And what kind of coffee machines do they have in the rooms? K cups or regular?

For the coffee machines, they are the Cuisinart pod style.

Critter Round Up is a pool game the Cast Members play with the kids. Basically they dump a bunch of "critters" in the shallow end of the pool and the kids get to retrieve them. We watched the game being played when we stayed there in 2019. At that time the CM pre-picked a particular "critter" without saying which one it was. The kid that found the special critter got a prize. I can't remember at this point what the prize was.

The prizes are just little "trinkets"-they have a box of different ones and the Winner can pick one they want.

We saw several Winners pull out Fidget Spinners and some sort of plastic Bracelet IIRC.

If you are staying at Movies soon,you can have your own private Pool and Lifeguards.

Nobody,LITERALLY NOT FIGURATIVELY,is walking over to Calypso.

Surprising my sons (8 & 10) with their best friends while we are at ASM this summer. Any ideas for the big reveal? Thinking of having them pose for a picture in front of Buzz and having their friends "bump" into them but I wonder if theres a better way?

So is this an every day thing? Or peak time thing? Do we know?

Currently daily from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

I am "skeptical" how much longer they will have it open with hardly any Guests taking advantage.

I’ve booked a long weekend stay at ASM for October. It’ll just be my daughter and myself. I’ve booked standard since that’s all that’s available.

What room request would you make to be closest to transportation? I think I would prefer Toy Story. I’m sure close to transportation is a common request but it doesn’t hurt to try. If we don’t get it no big deal.

This would be our first time staying here. I haven’t told my daughter about the trip yet so I’m excited and holding it in.

Standard rooms are in the Mighty Ducks and Love Bug sections. If All-Star Music is open by October, then I'd definitely request Mighty Ducks because it's closer to the Music buses.

For anyone at Movies now,could you please check and see if Channel 27(It will say "ESPN Classic" in the Guide,but is actually SEC Network) on Resort TV is now available?

We are just back and it was off our entire trip.

Thanks.
