I love this! My husband and son are hockey-crazed, so we're going swimming at the Mighty Ducks pool on our first day. Now I know what we're doing after!

Anyone know the extent of the refurb? Was it rooms only/pools/dining hall?

Is there a way to ensure a Toy Story room, as in are all preferred rooms Toy Story?

Fantasia (and maybe Dalmatians) also preferred. You can submit a request if your kid is a big Toy Story fan.

 

[petunia]

Where would that request go, in MDE somewhere? I cant seem to find where to make a request like that..

Your best bet is to call the main reservation line and have the phone CM add any requests to your reservation.

Call them and have the request added to your reservation.

And if you haven't been assigned Toy Story on arrival,go to the Front Desk and nicely ask them to check if anything is available then or becoming available later in the day.

Haven't stayed at All Star Movies since 2012 when my youngest was just 3 years old!! We are taking a Sweet 16 mommy/daughter trip this summer. Hard to believe! I know the rooms have been refurbished. Are they set up similar to Pop?

Yes, very similar to Pop Century. Same basic room layout.

I haven’t actually stayed at Pop, but the reports at the time of refurbishment said they are similar set-up. One regular queen bed with second queen sized Murphy bed that is a table when folded up.

 

[leebee]

Does anyone know if there are nightstands on both sides of the queen bed, or just on the side next to the murphy bed?

Both sides and also in between, though smaller than the outsides.

 

[leebee]

Thanks, @dansdad ! I don't know why I didn't think to just look at pictures- DUH!

I hate calling Disney because I feel like I could be on hold for a while. I use the chat function on the Disney website. They send you a form through chat, fill it out, click submit and done. I think its easier than calling.

Is anything going on at ASMo for Cool Kid Summer? 26 days to go for us!

 

[OP95]

Has anyone stayed in the love bug section before, if so how far is the walk? I had request to be near the front/ transportation with a standard room though had a random updated invoice come through saying love bug next to it. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m not too fussed either way.

Just stayed at movies for 1 night on Tues. before our CSR stay. We've stayed at movies many times and generally like it. We had a few inconveniences with the few hrs we were there and wanted to share so others can take a look and aren't having to call down to desk mult. times.

First, we were not getting in until super lste/after midnight. I noted that on the reservation.

We got in a lil before 2am, room in mighty ducks section. We arrived and none of our magicbands worked. - This hasn't happened to us since the beginning of magicbands. Luckily after trying with mult. phones we got one of the apple ones to unlock the door.

We had 4 ppl. booked in the room. We arrive and I instantly notice we only have 3 pillows on the bed. - Very odf as the values usually have at least 6 on the bed to share with the pull down. There was 1 pillow in the cabinet, but 2 of us typically sleep with 2 pillows. Obviously frustrated as it's late and we expected to just be able to go to bed; I call housekeeping. After a bit of a wait to get through; I ask for 2 extra pillows.

They send a guy up, but he tells mebhe could only find 1.

The first person goes to wash their hands and we absolutely no soap, other than the body wash attached to the shower. Now I take a better look at the room and notice we only have 3 towels (again 4 ppl. booked in the room.) - There was also only a partial roll of toilet paper in the room (we've always had an extra) and no tissues. - I really don't care about the TP and tissues at this point because we're leaving in a matter of hrs. I call back down. again after a bit of a wait and the same guy came back with a towel, the soap and another pillow. so we were able to finally get to bed, but it was frustrating the room was really not ready/prepared for the number of guests booked in the room.

They worker that delivered the items was very nice though.

Just an fyi...hopefully it was just a fluke and bad luck for us.
