Just Arrived, Triple Dipping

[jonmar]

It was probably the assumption that since you're still wearing your MB that you're staying onsite.

I'm still wearing it because of FP+ which continues for the duration of our park ticket.

 

[jonmar]

It was a CM who incorrectly assumed that because you were wearing a MB, you were staying in a resort.

I expect that will stop happening in about 5... 4... 3... 2... 1.... (right after the web monitoring team calls Parking Operations...)

I'll let you know tomorrow.

 

[jonmar]

Ahhhh! Very interesting.

Also, you said it was very busy - could you let us know if you see any CM's with the "FastPass" pole signs acting as human end-of-FP-line markers?

Yup. Right now at Big Thunder

 

[999DoomBuggies]

It is busy but not so bad yet. It will be. I am doubling on the dipping today.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

Just got to MK. I'll elaborate on PO tonight.

The moderates have always been kinds garbage...
I know this from the best possible experience: working for awhile trying to keep one duct taped together at the seams.

They're not "bad" per say...
Just a ripoff for the money...the least economical of choices all the way around.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

POG is one of the first resorts to lose their KTTW cards.

I must be behind on the news...I had no idea they were axing the cards so quickly...

I can't wait to see old key west's go... My mother in laws head will explode

HOPING a few legacy machines hold out for 19+ more days!!!!
Enjoy the extra Fps while you can, I say.
We stayed at POR ONE TIME and I agree with another poster that the moderates might be the least value for money at WDW..
I find that the values really do offer me a great VALUE when I find a good deal and while the Deluxe resorts are pricey, I do get something pretty special for my $$. My moderate experience was very ho-hum at best..

So, if a family were to do a split stay (2 days onsite & 4 days offsite), they they would receive MBs and the ability to book FP+ 60 days in advance. Here is the big question.... Could we book the FP+ in advance for the offsite days as well since we already have the MBs (linked our UC tickets which are 6 day tickets via MDE) or would be only be able to do FP+ for onsite days?

OKWs go poof on January 9th. Now go get busy putting up plastic in your MILs house. It will make clean up easier.

We had onsite and offsite stays for our last visit and were able to book FP+ for all of our days once our resort stay was linked to MDE. I called WDW and asked if I was going to be able to do it and the answer I was given was "Im not sure, give it a try and see" This was 2 months ago though, so things were still very new.

Went to MK today after spending a night at Port Orleans Ghettoside motel in order to use FP+. Anyhow, park tickets purchased separately from Disney, as well as KTTW cards pulled paper fast passes independently of each other and FP+ was not affected. The park was very busy.

Why do you call it Ghettoside?

 

[stasijane]

Trying to decipher, but I think you're saying you're entitled to popcorn?

Never Entitled. But I eat it anyways. That was all I could come up with for having my drink and food ready to watch how this will go.

Our experience at Port Orleans Riverside was not good. While I don't want to do an entire hotel review I will say this much:

The room was dirty. M&Ms on the floor. We picked up seven in total. Pubes in the shower and a ball of hair behind the bathroom door accented the blood smear on one of the beds. There is nowhere on Earth that that is considered moderate or worth $230+ per night.

Anyhow, we'll see if my KTTW cards are disabled on the 7th.

~Ewww, this is so vile. I hope Disney comped you because that's totally unacceptable.

ETA: Disney should give you unlimited fastpass for that.

Oh MY! What did management do for you when you brought the completely unacceptable condition of the room to their attention??

Due to the cutbacks they only actually clean on every third Tuesday.

That sucks, though. No way a room that you are paying $230/night should be in that condition. Especially at Disney.

That is disgusting! I don't expect the lap of luxury at a moderate, but clean is a must. I hope you reported it.

When I reported it they simply said they would send someone to properly clean the room. Nothing else offered. I didn't ask since I figured if they weren't offering they weren't bright enough to 'get it'.
