    Parking Newark Airport

    The Parking Spot. Closest to the airport and you never wait long on return. Sign up for Spot club and use AAA discount if you have it. Edited to add: If you use the app with location services turned on, it will detect you when you approach the doors leaving baggage claim and send for a...

    Are you considering not renewing your Annual Pass?

    Not only did we not renew, we are strongly considering selling our DVC. The parks are a total ripoff way worse than ever before.

    Just back - Swan Reserve experience

    I actually considered the reserve for a Marriott points stay but was almost as expensive as S/D. How was the cash price savings?

    Getting a room request for a standard room at Animal Kingdom Lodge?

    I requested close to lobby and got a room facing the porte cochere. Wasn’t as noisy as I expected it to be. I actually enjoyed watching people come and go from my balcony.

    A complaint: lack of housekeeping

    I am In hotels 3-4 nights per week every week. No housekeeping is an industry wide norm at the moment. Nearly all hotels are not providing daily housekeeping. It is more to do with difficulty in hiring enough workers than it does COVID, but they would rather blame it on COVID than short...

    How are Disney buses these days, especially at Beach Club?

    Swan/Dolphin no longer use Disney bus transportation, they have their own. We were there in October ‘21 and bus service at Beach Club was fine. I don’t remember any long waits. And I don’t think we ever shared with Boardwalk. Have a wonderful vacation.

    Mears vs Uber/Lyft to/from MCO

    I travel as a single woman for work all the time. ALWAYS check license plate. If driver doesn’t address you by name, ask them your name. I do it like this…. Hi James, if just say hi (rare) I say, “what’s my name?” And they tell me my name.

    Sorry to be so geeky, but Space 220 has gravity all wrong

    I’ll just eat a churro next time I’m in the Mission Space line. Same effect, much cheaper price.

    Has anyone had house keeping unlock their Dead Bolt to check the room to be cleaned while you were still in it?

    Gotcha. Most modern hotels I can see it just by closing the door. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Disney isn’t there yet.

    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    Honestly, if you are concerned with being close to the lobby, I wouldn’t worry so much about a partial savanna view. There are some amazing lookouts quite close to the lobby with rocking chairs. Have a great vacation.

    Planning a Service Dog's First Visit, a novel

    My friend had a guide dog that had to go back for re-training because she let her get away with gutter surfing (NYC). She loves spoiling her dogs and had to regularly check herself. Service animals are still dogs and will make mistakes occasionally. And they’re success is definitely influenced...

    Has anyone had house keeping unlock their Dead Bolt to check the room to be cleaned while you were still in it?

    In most modern hotel rooms, the deadbolt engages automatically and you turning the latch does absolutely nothing. The card key will open the door regardless of deadbolt engagement. There is no special “override.”
