Well, that is not my castle. My castle is in the middle of the 100-degree, deluge-affected, lovebug-ridden swamp that is WDWI did have to do a little double take at ‘your castle’ in the mural. Seems some artistic liberties taken on the height.

! But I might give it another shot sometime if desperate…@trishadano thanks! Was trying to get a monorail resort but the only CL option available near MK with the new 20% off option is WL. Hopefully the boat ride won’t be so bad that time of year (we aren’t a fan of having to wait on the boats when we typically go in the heat of August).
Thanks for the tip! This will be our first time staying there!
Generally for rope drop we do bus to get to the park fast. Then use boat midday to leave .
Thanks so much! We are going thanksgiving weekend so I definitely need to be prepared!
I didn't realize you were going over Thanksgiving to WL. You will be so spoiled with the view of the lobby from the lounge, its truly magical with the Christmas decor. Sounds like a fantastic trip, have fun!!
In my experience (and I use a lot of Minnie Vans when I am at Disney - once to take me from the front of Epcot to the Yacht Club because I was tired) it's very much like Uber/Lyft - more expensive when it's busy and less expensive when it's not as busy.
I love that you took it from the front of epcot! Minnie vans are great. We always say the best money we ever spent in disney was the Minnie van directly in front of MK at closing to the BC because we were too tired to walk to the busses. This is when they first rolled out so easy to get after MK fireworks. I would imagine there may be a wait now.
Interesting i called in to disney 2 weeks ago to ask a question regarding adding a 3rd adult. All have AP. She wanted to turn the room only into a package. I said i am not interested in dining and we have AP’s. She said she could still turn it into a package so that we get coupons. She would have to reverse the only deposit and then only$200.00 would be needed. I said no thank you.
I’ve changed room-only and room-only AP rates tons of times. So frustrating when there is an online glitch or you get weird info from a phone cm. Hope you were still able to get the dates you needed.
I have this exact issue with three of my recent reservations-two were bounce back and one is an AP rate. Prior to April of this year, I was able to modify each of my BB reservations myself online, but once April came I had to call in to modify. I have had to call multiple times to make changes and every single time I have been told exactly what they told you. For the bounce back, I can see them trying to push a package with tickets, but the same thing happened for the room I have booked with the AP rate which just makes no sense to me at all. Hope they fix this asap because it is annoying to have to call in for every change.
It happens when the CM has no clue what they are doing. Their favorite solution is to get you to move to a package, up-sell you a DDP or offer to add useless tickets that an AP does not need.
The BB bothers me a lot less, especially for CL - that is a super nice discount, so I am more willing to endure the nonsense. But an AP rate for CL? Those are pretty anemic., and I feel like I always see the room/date I want pop up during the middle of the work day - when I'm trying to earn money to feed the habit!
