Resort Review of room 4641 (building Jamaica 46)
First off: Originally we were in building Aruba 54 however were moved due MAJOR PLUMBING issues that changed our toilet into a wanna-be bidet! When we first checked into the room we heard gurgling bubbles from the toilet, then it became more active… And we found out from Disney CMs that it was occurring in more than one room in our building. The Front desk CM gave us a few locations to move to, and we choose Jamaica because ONE I originally had requested a Jamaica Building and TWO because we wanted to be further away from the pluming problem in case it spread…. HOWEVER despite having to pack up and move in the midst of the inbound Hurricane the Disney Bellhop was up to the challenge! AND when we were having issues with our new room assignment working with our Magic Bands the gentlemen even helped us with that too!
Room 4641: is in building 46 on the second floor, it is a king standard room; it is a corner location next to the stairs right by the free style coke machine in our building… the location was PERFECT, exactly what we had originally wanted in a location except that with a hurricane coming we were on a second floor, but everything worked out PERFECTLY! The room was quiet, and even though there was a notice given because of reduced staff and reduced Mousekeeping we didn’t have any issues with either! Sunday as the storm was coming in the resort monitored the situation and kept eating faculties open as late as they possibly could… meal kits were prepared way ahead of time and were available for purchase or through the dinning plan at all the Island Markets! Monday after the storm cleared and they took an inventory of the damage to make sure it was safe they lifted the resort curfew and reopened the eating areas. The pools were opened as soon as the debris was cleared from them, most of the pools were open by 3 pm, and this included the main pool opening up by 4!
We walked around the resort once the all clear was given and found it very beautiful. We do confess that we did not eat at the buffet tent due to being out at the parks every day that we could and we prepared for the storm with food supplies we brought, as well as the two meal kits we purchased for ourselves, so there was no need.
Construction? Except for lack of eating facilities and the gift shop being in trailers we didn’t notice any noise from the construction! However if you are a person that takes one or two resort days during your trip there are draw backs but if you are like us and just want a nice, clean room I highly recommend staying here!
My husband was very happy with the room and resort, and it met our needs perfectly! And my husband has already stated he would like to stay at this resort again!
