Thanks for the replies. It has been a year since we've been to PBH so it sounds like there have been some changes. I am unable to book it ahead since I have a Loews first room upgrade to a suite. I am not concerned about availability since I was able to add it at check in three years in a row on July 4th, although it is possible they changed their criteria. Increasing the price was smart because it was a great deal at $75 when we had three teenagers with us. Last August the lounge was crazy busy and difficult to find a seat. It is just hubby and me in November and the convenience is still worth it for us. Thanks again!
