I thought I heard that value resorts were getting Queen size beds.... Can anyone tell me more about this or is it just rumour?

 

[maxiesmom]

Not happening. They are still working on getting them into all of the moderate resorts.

I know the feeling about wanting warm weather. This weekend here in Buffalo we are having a heat wave lol. It will be in the 20's. I was able to book my fast passes this morning with ease. I got on the computer at 7am (not the recommended 1am time, not happening here). I also got a lunch and dinner ressie for BOG. I feel lucky..

Good question. I am wondering when my bracelet will arrive. I think you can find the answer by logging into your MDE account.

I think we received ours approximately one month before.

Preferred rooms are closer to the food court and bus stop.

Thank you for your reply!

Thank you for your reply!

You really can't go wrong with any room at AS Sports, even the standard ones. The resort is compact enough that a walk from any room isn't that far. But if you want preferred you will be in one of the Surfs Up Buildings that are right on top of the foodcourt and main pool. I just checked in online a few days ago and requested ground floor in of the Touchdown buildings.

Just an FYI. Our last stay, June 2014, we had great luck with hitting rope drop and doing all the big attractions stand by. Then booked FP+ for the afternoon when the crowd picks up. Never waited more than 15 minutes standby. Just an idea.

With my fast passes I wonder? Does disney take into consideration your lunch or dinner ressies? My ADR's are in place and the fastpass suggestions they gave me actually coincided with those times. Or maybe I just got lucky?

 

[DisneyRunner2009]

I pick fastpasses, on my own, working around my ADRs.

Good Morning fellow dissers. I have a question about Magical Express. I am flying South West and will land on side A. Do I take the train to Side B and then down to the 1st floor? My question is: how do I get to Magical Express? I haven't been in almost 4 years and everything is changing quick.
