    Hotel Parking Fees Realization / Tip

    We did not notice any other freebies other than several character appearances. The cast members on-site throughout the hurricane days did an admirable job though. Complimentary beignets would have been a great treat.

    Hotel Parking Fees Realization / Tip

    Stayed at POFQ the week of Hurricane Ian. For the first time since resort parking fees were implemented, we were not charged for parking at the resort at all for the entire week. I wonder if due to moving guests from Fort Wilderness to other resorts on property along with people staying at...

    Resort hopping these days

    And that is why we never have bothered attempting to park at another resort. There are enough alternative methods to visit another resort without having to worry if they will let you park at a resort or not.

    Resort hopping these days

    We were able to resort hop on our checkout day (9/30). We had been staying at POFQ and drove our car over to park at the TTC. We were able to visit each of the monorail resorts (Polynesian and Contemporary via monorail) and took a boat launch from The Polynesian to the Grand Floridian) with no...

    Disney Hotels during a hurricane

    Staying at Port Orleans - French Quarter. Resort guests are being taken care of well by the cast members. Clean up of the fallen debris from trees is being cleared as I type this message. Menu options in the food court are limited, but that is ok. Same goes for Riverside. Power never went out

    Refillable Mugs?

    How late in the evening were you able to get refills using the mugs. We will be at POFQ in a couple of months. When we stayed at CSR in 2021, once the quick service restaurant closed for the evening (around 9 pm during our visit), you could no longer get refills. Thanks!

    Favorite Quick Service?

    MK - Columbia Harbour House EP - Yorkshire Fish Shop DS - Earl of Sandwich, looking forward to trying Polite Pig on our next visit. HS - Backlot Express AK - rarely have been in the park long enough for a meal.

    How last minute is your quickest planned trip?

    The plans for our summer 2019 trip came together less than 48 hours before we left town. Our initial destination was to DC, VA, & MD, which would have been a 10-12 hr. drive. Since other things sometime get in the way of initial plans (work, weather), you have to adjust. So, we went somewhere...

    strollers, strollers, strollers

    You are correct about the overuse of strollers that has picked up over the past several years. If the child is 3 to 4 years old or has a medical need, that is totally understandable in the use of a stroller, however, when the childs' feet and legs drag along the asphalt as you journey through...

    7 Days of Parks, how to assign the 7 days?

    Your strategy looks good, especially if you are not using a Park Hopper. Epcot has been a half day park for my family over the past 20 years of visits. We have typically started off (rope drop) one of our days there and are out by early afternoon. We have also park hopped to it an evening or two...

    Coronado Springs Rapid Fill

    We were at Coronado Springs at the end of May 2021. Refillable Mugs were available and you could re-fill the mug yourself rather than a cast member working at the refill stations.

    Resort Refillable Mugs Status?

    At the end of May 2021, you could self re-fill your mugs at Coronado Springs.

    News Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours coming for resort guests

    I agree with you. The good neighbor hotels never should have had the EMH hours benefit extended to their guests. One thing that might could happen is that the EMH benefit gets phased back in to the other Disney "Inside the Bubble" resorts. Starting with the deluxe, then moderates, and finally...
