Nah, that's because rooms can only be booked something like 499 days out or whatever.

Disney springs has the prettiest water.

Disney springs has the prettiest water.

It's not the water. It's the color of the substrate beneath the water. Pretty sure it's just painted concrete to create the effect. But yes, it shows up pretty. Though I would argue the Emerald Coast, where it is naturally that color thanks to the sand, is prettier.

There are some natural springs in central Florida that are stunning and doesn't require any man-made fabrication. I do think DS did a good job mimicking.

Ok let me rephrase.

Besides exotic locations I have never been too, Disney springs colored substrate below the water is very pretty. But not the prettiest, because I have not been everywhere to compare.

Was not meant to be phrased in a mean way (felt I needed to add this since you can't tell tone on the internet).

Re: Bus times - I’m at AKL, and the Bus Times feature in the app just says “every 20 minutes.” So, maybe it isn’t rolled out for all the resorts?

wow, that's really high for a weekday ... though perhaps my view is distorted given that my kids are still in school and I know that is not the case everywhere

A lot of schools are now out for summer. I think NY is one of the few states where school goes till close to the end of June.

yup - we finish the end of this week. We also have the privilege of just having more days of school than like anywhere else (my daughter's planner ran out of pages as there are too many school days here)

Your kids are still in school? My sister ended June 8th and I thought WI was late.

A lot of schools in Los Angeles got out last week. It varies around the country.
