Did you get your confirmation email for MNSSHP yet? I called but was walking to work and didn't have a pen to write mine down...!

Nothing yet I just looked.

I called a couple of times for clients today. The ones that book both MNSSHP and MVMCP were sent an email confirmation. The ones that only got one party didn't get one. I asked for one and they told me they weren't sending them out. I told them I already had 2 from earlier and she said it was odd because they weren't sending any out today, but she figured because I had 2 different parties was the reasoning why

I posted my thoughts over on the Pop thread too. I think we need to use some logic that sharing/non-sharing will all depend on whether it's busy or not.

My example is that during busy mornings there's no way an AoA park bus can be shared if that bus fills up as soon as it arrives. But if you use a bus during the middle of the afternoon to head back to AoA, perhaps they will use a route that services both AoA and Pop.

In another comparison there's this "common knowledge" that the All Star resorts share buses...indeed they can, if it's not that busy. But same thing -- if a bus to MK fills up, it will leave All Star Sports and head to MK. It's not going to stop at All Star Movies and Music if it's already full.

My bigger concern would be getting back from the parks at night. Sharing a bus on the trip back would be dreadful. I can't even imagine what the waits would be like

back to the rooms

Table bed - any idea - the same size as a regular double? or is it shorter and narrower?

Let's see if I can help.

1) You can get your mugs whenever you want after getting your KTTW cards. They have plastic yellow lock tab things on them that the CM will cut off for you after they're "paid" for.

2) I think they'll be included as desserts for the CS meals. I've been able to get a lot of different items for dessert at CS locations, actual desserts from the dessert section or grab and go stations, cups of fruit, or bottles of water.

3) There is usually a DDP symbol next to snack items on CS menus. It's a little purple and white box, (it'll be obvious when you see one.) The desserts options are varied, and like I said, you usually don't have to get an actual dessert, and most places will allow you fruit or water. (And unless I'm somewhere that I know I like the desserts, I usually go for the water.)

Thank You! I really appreciate your guidance!

When is this resort officially open, and is there a menu for the food court? I thought about a little visit, to check it out for a future stay. We will be at CBR first week of June. TIA

We're excited about this great resort. Having being BIG Pixar fans - the only thing that we're bummed about is that there are no standard rooms in the Pixar themed buildings. As we are just a couple with no kids.

We did a write up about it - but we're curious from other Pixar fans, what are your thoughts? Do you wish Disney would have made a few standard rooms in the Pixar themed buildings?

We also think that the mural on the interior walls of the main building is absolutely gorgeous! Can you see all the photo-ops there? We can. There is also a hidden gem hidden in the light fixture right before the Ink Shop store - if you look up, just find the Lighting McQueen sketch - it's signed by Director John Lasseter! What an awesome touch - instead of a "Hidden Mickey" it's a "Hidden Lasseter" :good vibes

I am bummed about it. It is just me and my son who LOVES pixar so a standard room would have been great!

Can you walk around the outside of the resort yet, or is it still blocked off? We will be at Disney next week and I would love to at least let my little guy check out the outside of it and take some pics with the cars characters.

It is opening in stages. The first part is open May 31st but, it won't be complete until Sept.

I think they keep the values with doubles to give the mods an edge over the values--especially now that all the values have the fridges.

Except the cabins are a mod with doubles. AoA beds would actually work out better for us.

Hard to know what kind of access there will be, if any, since it isn't open yet.

The Cars section is still under active construction -- there was a press event last week and there was a tour at the entrance to the section, but no one was allowed to enter.

Oh, I understand. Thanks for the heads up. We will just have to schedule another trip soon

Do you guys think that there would be room somewhere in a suite for a double sized blow up bed?

 

[noahdove]

Not sure if there will be room in the master bedroom or not, I wouldn't think so, as it already sleeps 6...

 

[rentayenta]

Anyone else a little nervous about that table/bed? I'm having second thoughts about our night at AoA.

From the pictures, it doesn't look like it. The living room isn't that big and I imagine that pullout couch takes up most of that room. The table/bed looks like it dominates that front area as well. I would think your only option might be in the master bedroom. But from the photos, I think it would be pretty tight if it would fit at all. Hope someone staying there in a few weeks could answer you.

I am going to book our ressies tomorrow and am wondering if anyone knows if the LM standard rooms will have free WiFi and fridges? The WDW website states that WiFi is extra and fridges are "available". I am curious if the fridges will be in all rooms like the values. Right now, I am thinking of booking POP due to the confirmed free WiFi and fridge. I really don't want to pay for extra charges just because the resort is new!

Thanks.. we're a group of six but no one wants to share a bed with my sister because she's a kicker! trying to problem solve to make everyone happy.

What about a twin mattress? You might be able to fit that in there somewhere.

Well that was my 'duh' moment of the day.. lol why didn't I think of that?

I'm thinking that may be the best route for us to go. I'm hoping someone who goes before us can give me some feedback on whether that would would or not so I don't lug that thing down there for nothing!

 

[TJDisneymama]

i bet there's room for a double mattress in the living room. There's gotta be some space between the sofa bed and the kitchenette/innovabed or else people would be tripping and banging into stuff.
