I'm excited to be staying CL at the BWI for the 50th - from 9/29-10/3. I was waffling between GF garden view and BWI CL, it would have been nice to be walking distance to the MK for the 50th, but it will also be nice to be walking distance to DHS and Epcot for our other 3 days. I ended up making a 7:50 AM ADR at Steakhouse 71 on 10/1, we will probably take a Lyft over to that and then walk. If it looks like there is an actual reason to be at the MK right at opening we might still take the Lyft, and then just eat the $20 cancellation fee and walk over at 7:30. My DH will do anything to avoid busses, and I have to admit on that day they make me anxious trying to get to the MK from the Epcot area - so this was my solution lol.
It was probably a silly decision, we will be gone literally all day on the 1st, and probably won't be at the resort all that much the other days. we could have stayed at the YC for a lot cheaper. But I just couldn't resist a CL stay since it is just my DH and I, we aren't taking the kids this time and we don't fit in a standard CL room when they come (school, COVID, and we won't be riding much at all which they would hate!).
I just emailed DSS with room requests and to mention my DHs gluten allergy - I assume they have the same email as before? I did have a missed call from them back in August, but they didn't leave a message. I assume it was related to this stay. I'm hoping to not be alllll the way at the end of the resort with no view this time, like we were last time here, but anything is better than being at home for the 50th!
