Hi @BlueSkies ! Midday in the lounge was not crowded at all for us :). Breakfast was ok around 8:00-ish (darn early return-times for Tron and Guardians....), but super busy during our normal time 9:30-ish and that's when there were never tables for 4. Between 5-7pm was always crowded for...

I think with Tron opening and the fact that we hadn't stayed at Poly or CR since rooms and lounges were re-done is why we've focused on MK resorts lately. I actually did have BWI booked for a split stay with CR, but I had to change our MNSSHP date which messed things up, so we just decided to...

Just returned from CR atrium and I hesitated to post cause I didn't take many pics this time :(, but I studied the CR food pics posted in this thread beforehand and the food we just had was all the same! So not really any changes. We loved the food, drinks, staff.....everything was great. But...

I totally agree about the coffee machine (and thought it was just me....). It's too complicated for me and very inaccessible with the food line right there. This is the machine at Portofino and I fell in love with using it several times a day. It was so simple - just press the button of what...

We left there feeling the same way.....we still love the vibe at Poly, but we felt "different" about the lounge this time around. We really felt the squeeze in there, whether it was trying to get food, drinks, or just 4 chairs to sit. In our past trips to Poly, we did feel the hustle and...

This was one of our favorite parts about staying at WL CL in April - usually we don't love desserts, but we really enjoyed the cobbler and ice cream each night!

My kids already had passports, but needed to get new ones because they were under age 16 when got the first ones. So it wasn't technically a renewal, but it also wasn't starting from scratch. Did not do expedited and it took a little over 12 weeks to get new ones.

Our plans were so last-minute that I didn't pre-post we would be there, but thank you and it would have been nice to see you! I agree the lounge is way too small considering the number of guests, and we felt it more than usual this trip. However, we enjoyed our stay as usual and still feel...

We were there on the 4th too. We had a family sit down next to us with those large quick-service paper plates and they said the CM's were handing those out temporarily because they couldn't keep up with washing the small glass dishes. We were there before you (June 30-July 4) and the food area...

Yes, same. The desk CM's felt really bad as many guests were inquiring about not having a roped area on July 3 for CL guests. I've never really paid attention in previous years because we've always had a lagoon-side room in Hawaii and we'd watch the show from our balcony or patio. Since there...

July 4 activities around the Poly, and the latest pics of the new building from the 3rd floor stairway in Tuvalu:

Happy 4th from Tuvalu room 3405

Just back from a 5-night stay at Poly, first 4 nights CL. It was a relatively last minute decision to go and the only CL room I could get was resort view. As many of you know, some of our favorite trips have been on the lagoon side of Hawaii over July 4 holiday, so this felt very different...

We have been at Poly CL for 4 nights and today have moved to a new-to-us room and it might be our best view yet! Can’t wait to watch the show tonight from our balcony! Tuvalu.

I'm holding out hope that once they know for sure RPC will be done by November that they will add those rooms to the discount pool. I have RPC right now, but at full price so I will most likely not keep it for 5 nights :scared:.

We are long-time disney fans, but last month went exclusively to Universal. Bought AP's, stayed at Portofino Club Level for $372/night, walked to the parks each day, AND enjoyed express lanes at every single ride except Hagrid's. NO planning at all! It was Amazing! Very relaxing. I used to...

A lot will probably depend on your family members, at least that would be the case for me. We have 2 kids age 20 and they would both prefer the extra day at Universal parks and one day lounging at the YC pool. And I agree to end your trip at the place that your family will enjoy most. Have fun!

Fellow disney-lover here too who just returned from Universal last week! Our love for Disney begins at the resorts, and we paid a fraction to stay at a premier Universal resort compared to what we normally pay at Disney deluxe resort. AND included with this premier resort (we chose Portofino)...

Yes, dinner really was quite good! We literally didn't have any other meals the whole time except to get a pizza at Sal's on our arrival day. I'm wondering if ice cream might help their dessert woes. At first I was going to say put out a small freezer with ice cream treats, but after...

Just returned from a 3-night stay at Portofino CL. Our only request was a full balcony and we did get it. Villa section, 6th floor, Room 2663. The room was very nice but is in dire need of TLC (slider balcony door lock was broken and toilet paper roll almost completely broken off wall, to...
