Did you see anything new at the Contemp Cafe, active construction work or any noise (2 - 5 PM)?

Not at all, either day. I went down today at 4 to get a mobile order and saw no walls or anything. Same thing yesterday. Whatever they were doing appears to be over.

Any initial feedback on your first viewing of the Starlight parade or what location you picked, and if your location was repeatable or just a one time location?

I watched from outside the Main Street Theater, sat with a couple of very nice ladies. Main concern was booking it out immediately afterwards so I could quickly walk back to CR to catch HEA from the room. Very doable spot and excellent view being further back and slightly elevated so you can really see the floats given how tall they are but just be aware people will come and stand at the railing so you’ll probably need to stand when the parade starts if you were lucky to grab a bench. Loved the parade a lot though!

All checked out from CR, was in 4625. All in all was very surprised by how much I liked it despite the very cheap looking rooms (imo the incredibles stuff looks even worse in person). The convenience of the tower and proximity to MK were amazing as were the views and dining and honestly made up for the deficiencies to me. I didn’t even have issues with the elevators. Would absolutely stay again. Rope dropping HS and bell services will take my bags to Swan.

Yes the colors, materials, and the quality of the construction was awful. Our group only staid there once so far since the Incredibles, and we all agreed that even with the best balconies in WDW we could wait until the next refresh before returning.

Yes the elevator crowds are very seasonal, during busy periods it seems to take forever. This time of year crowds are manageable in the elevators.
