    Disney springs bus schedule

    Disney says, "Bus service between Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs is available during Disney Springs operating hours—and ends one hour after closing." Currently, and for the next several months, Disney Springs opens at 10AM. Usually the buses start running 45-minutes before, but I...

    Unpleasant experience at BW

    For $700/night should have had somebody going door to door, no excuse for that. Sounds like a Motel 6 type of management not what I'd expect from a night at Disney.

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    Since it was booked through Disney, and not Marriott you'll probably need to call Disney again, and maybe again, to get them to resolve it. You can also try calling Swan/Dolphin M-F 8AM-5PM, use the local number, 407-934-4000 and ask for in-house reservations - they might be able to point you...

    Lemon Desserts

    In the past you could pull up the MDE app and search in the dining section for a keyword, if you toss in lemon you might find what you are looking for.

    Which moderate?

    @jennab - by all means do what makes you happy. You would find the S/D bus for AK is a bit closer then the Disney buses, but for MK you can walk to YC to bus over, and many do if they don't want the TTC issue. For us, we preferred to take the boats, it was a nice leisurely way to start/end our...

    Which moderate?

    We stayed at POFQ in 2020, really enjoyed it, but the bus rides to all the parks is its downside, I was pretty unimpressed with the food, breakfast was fine, but the lunch/dinner I had at Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory was beyond disappointing, not sure how you can botch Jambalaya when...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    @rosie5189 it was VERY common during the days S/D was a Starwood owned property. Now the way things are run it seems less common, and more you get what you initially boked. It might be worth calling in-house reservations now to see if you can get an upgrade at a reasonable cost or just wait...

    Refrigerator/coolers in rooms

    I agree with @Mle8308 said, but due to my wife's medications we also take a small fridge thermometer with us to know what temps the fridge is at. Just gives her some peace of mind.

    OJ Simpson Died

    From the man that made the Ford Bronco legendary! I just hope I don't have to hear any more about his sports or acting career, he destroyed his own legacy by his actions.

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    @Karalee402 - I haven't seen anything about it... yet. But there was no big announcement about the Swan getting it either, until it started happening. Same thing happened with the balcony refresh too. Since these are not huge updates I'm guessing they will roll things out during the slower...

    Hotel Feedback?

    @Peachy0118 I don't think they would be staying at a bad hotel at all, it's fairly new still. The only real downside is the distance, if they don't have carseat kids then an Uber is going to run about $8. ART appears to have stops near by as well, so they have some good options if the pricing...

    Anyone pack for 7 nights in a carry on? Any packing tips?

    I don't, sorry, part of why we fly Alaska and have their Visa = no bag fee for the first bag. I will say packing cubes are your friend though.

    Hotel Feedback?

    Its part of the Wyndham time share arm, it really reminds me of a Marriott TownPlace Suites Location is a bit beyond walking, around 25 minutes, but price out uber and decide. If the price is right, you bet, but for me I'd be wanting something a bit closer and within easy walking. We've stayed...

    An adult threatened my 6 year old

    You're initial reaction and reporting it was 100% spot on. Now it's time for what I like to call a Frozen Moment... Let it go. Use this situation as a teaching opportunity for your child. The world they are going to grow up in will have countless people of different abilities and...

    Disney World Hot Takes

    I have never forgiven WDW for ditching Off-Kilter at Epcot, and never will. They were so fun and gave me a reason to want to go to Epcot, and stay longer so I could catch several shows. Since then I've walked past the Canadian Pavilion with some contempt for Disney in my heart, and loved the...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    @SwanVT2 reading your post again, I think I'd suggest calling the local # 407-934-4000 M-F 8-5 and ask for In-House Reservations - see if they can work with you on your accommodations.

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    That makes some sense, I'm sure S/D sells some rooms to sites like CapitalOne, Costco, etc. at a lower price for them promoting S/D do their customers. But those rooms most always are a more standard room. I am unsure if they can turn them back or not. We had a corner room over looking the...

    Walt Disney World SWAN, DOLPHIN & SWAN RESERVE RESORTS Information & Questions

    @SwanVT2 room requests really aren't a thing at S/D you book, and pay for, what you want, sometimes (rarely) you might get lucky, but go in happy with what you paid for and you'll be better off. If you book through a 3rd party, you're probably less likely to get an upgrade for free. You'd be...

    Purchase United Wifi before trip

    Can help with the United question, in general its per person per device, but if you are at all techy learn about Travel Routers and you can save a lot of money.

    Caffeine Free, Diet Soda in the Parks and Resorts? Particularly, Pop Century?

    I'd use the mobile order feature on the Disney app, you should be able to see what is available.
