I’m getting Music available for my dates, but I’m holding out to see if POR/POFQ come up. Internet has been out here since last night, so I only have my phone available (and I’m eating up data).

The resorts are available on the website now - just changed ours to POFQ! Good luck everyone!!!

Call me crazy but I’m a little sad. I rented DVC points for our January trip at Kidani but probably would have booked Port Orleans if I had known it would be open. I love it there.
I know we will have a great time at Kidani though . There’s always a next time!

We did exact same, staying at Wilderness! I’m hoping to add a night at PO before moving to our DVC rental.

I took a quick look and ouch on those rates! I remember choking at having to pay rack rate fall 2019 at 250 a night. Now it’s near $400 for a similar time frame. I love POFQ, but I don’t love it $400 a night.

Hopefully by the time we return they will have had to put out some decent discounts.

I love Port Orleans as well, but I wouldn't pay $400 a night to stay there. That's crazy, especially since there are little to no perks for staying onsite anymore. Disney is really pushing the envelope.

Agreed, but for now at least, there are more than enough that will. I can’t clutch my pearls too tightly when I look at what I’m paying to stay in a glorified travel trailer. It’s a one-off though, we won’t be doing that again. Rates are just going to have to come down or perks are going to have to increase for me to book another trip.

Staying off site just isn’t an option for me although I readily admit there’s no incentive not to outside of those few resorts that allow easier access to the MK and whatever value there is to 30 minutes ee.

Looks like it's coming back up. I was able to make a few dents in the list.

That's about the same price as my stay at Boardwalk Inn next month. Insane!

Yup. I’ve paid close to that that not all that long ago for the YC with a really nice AP discount.

Whether it changes or not IMO ( and I have young kids still) its really not that big of a deal since the whole point of rider swap is so everyone in the party can ride with a similar wait time, not so multiple people can re ride.

It is still overall better than Universals where the whole family has to wait in line the whole time and then they have the rider swap room for those waiting to ride. It really sucks when you have babys/toddlers sleeping in a stroller and now have to wake them and carry them through the line, or have to take young kids into some of those queues that are dark and scary.

Just trying for ADRs for sept couldn’t get anything!

When a "Value Resort" Is more than $200 per night after tax and parking makes you wonder... I hope FP returns free for onsite guests.
