I’m not there for the hotel, I’m there for the parks. Value resorts are just fine for me since I know I’m a rope drop to park close type of person
Hard same. I’m gonna pass out ten minutes after I get back to my room, all I need is a bed.
I use to be until I got older. I’m also on the west coast, so getting up to be ready at 8am (essentially 4am my time wake up call) is too miserable for rope drop anymore. I also need breaks from the park to just nap and relax. The pools are a great break.
Yeah, but you still should spend the extra $$$ on a Deluxe to avoid the blue-collar trash.
Same honestly,,I stay at good neighbor hotels because that gives me more money to spend IN the parks, I will say I think the Polynesian Resort IS worth it, I’ve never stayed there, but I go to O’hana every trip, and it’s e trembly nice, especially their very nice pool, water slide, and lounge areas
I used to believe that, but then I stayed at the cheapest All Star Music resort before the refurb, and my god! It was worse than the Motel 8 I stayed at! Definitely not up to Disney standards!
Prices have gotten out of control. I’d much rather stay at a value resort, Swan&dolphin or Disney springs and go to eat at the nice resorts and stay for longer. If you don’t like the transportation at value just take an Uber. Still way more reasonable than spending up to 900$ a night, it’s getting ridiculous especially now that the magical express is gone
The thing is even value resort are very expensive it’s cheaper to stay in a Disney partner hotel like a Hilton and they are 5 star!
Exactly i staryed at all star back in 2019 it was perfect rom was clean had a nice big pool and food/ transport was easy in the morning then on the evening we got a uber back to the hotel so we didnt have to squeez on to the bus and it only cost $7-10 depending on the park
DVC rentals
The World is full of wealthy people. They come from every country, and every state in the union and it drives the cost of the Disney premium hotels sky high. The demand is there so the price stays high. Even the Swan and Dolphin are over priced in my opinion, although it is nice to be close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios , and we enjoyed our stay, but we could have stayed near Disney Springs, and cut the hotel bill in half. Walking to Epcot seems great the first day, but the blisters on your feet that night will make you want to wait for the boats, or uber to the park entrance. I thought I was in shape before the trip lol.
@@-sensibleChris a Lyft from Epcot to Disney Springs would have been $20+tip in mid December! We took a bus to another resort and walked over.
I stayed at Caribbean Beach last March and I’ll say having the sky liner was so convenient. However the lack of quick service food made it tough to get snacks or easy meals.
Hi I’m staying at Caribbean beach in April do you have any tips about the resort? Are the quick service options limited? Do you have to make reservations for Sebastians bistro??
Many thanks
@@leemoore8068 I was at the Caribbean Beach Resort (CBR) back in October. They do have a quick service option, but they don't start making your food until you order it. It takes about 5 to 15 minutes for your order to be ready if you are there during peak times. There is also a "grab and go" location just off the main lobby next to the gift shop. You don't have to make reservations for any restaurant, but they are highly recommend. If you don't have one you will be on the waiting list and that could take some time for them to seat you.
@@harrisinstruments ok thanks 😊
@@leemoore8068 I was there in February. We only stayed Monday to Thursday, and the restaurant was closed Tuesday and Wednesday, so we didn't get to try it. You can check the hours for your trip using the reservation system.
@@jdmichal ok thanks
Disney World Bus Driver here:
you missed that Riverside is a multi-stop resort and during the day (non peak time) we lump FQ with Riverside.
1st stops that MK, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, & AK buses stop at multi-stop resorts:
Coronado Springs is stop 2 (Castias)
Caribbean Beach is Martinique
OKW is Peninsular
Saratoga Springs is Grandstand
Riverside is West
Disney Springs Buses act as the "internal shuttles" so their stops are different.
Coronado-Grand Destino Tower goes around all the stops and back to the tower
CB has its own internal shuttle
OKW starts at Hospitality House goes around and ends at Hospitality
Saratoga Springs starts at Congress Park
Port Orleans starts at French Quarter and then does all stops at Riverside and then back to French Quarter
Hope this helps. Also, WE HAVE NO BUSES THAT RUN TO DISNEY SPRINGS FROM THE PARKS! You have to go to any resort to catch the Disney Springs Bus.
Could you do a video about all of the good neighbor hotels and the transportation options and other perks they offer? Staying on property is not looking as great these days.
We’ll be sure to share this with our RUclips requests team! Thanks, Malley!
@@DFBGuide I agree with Malley!
Off Disney is much better.
I think a video about the good neighbour hotels would be a great idea too, for us in the UK the prices have soared to stay on Disney property.
Hi! I stayed off property at the Wyndham (Disney springs location) and absolutely loved it. The busing system was a bit tricky but we were first in line for rope drop every day. Super clean and overall very nice! Also it was very nice to have a chill day at Disney springs and having a walkway from that hotel to Disney springs was super convenient.
We stayed off property last time we went to Disney and loved it. Next time I go though I am considering about staying at the Swan & Dolphin or Boardwalk as Epcot is the main park I’d like to go to.
To each their own. For my wife and I, we just need a room to sleep and clean up. For this, the value resorts work for us. Rather spend my time and money at the parks.
Exactly, see your very smart!
Same here, and I have 3 kids. We always stay at the value! Like you said…we sleep there, and I can think of plenty of other ways to spend that money.
I'm posting this comment as a PSA for folks with physical disability, mobility issues and scooter and chair users. My family stayed at Pop Century in June and a my husband has mobility issues. I believe The All Star resorts are the same set up as the Pop. The full time bed was too high for my husband to get into by himself. The pull down murphy bed requires the ability to reach over your head and the strength to pull down the bed. Bedtime was a nightly struggle. Pop is Skylines supported and is nice when it works. When it isn't running you need to take a bus which is fine if it's a Disney bus but we found 90% of the busses to be 3rd party owned and NOT handicapped accessible. One night we stood in the pouring rain and lightening for 1and 1/2 hours and 13 3rd party busses before a handicapped accessible Disney bus showed up.
I wish there was a vid on the real deal with mobility issues and Disney.
@@lilbatz me to.
Wow. I really appreciate you posting this. I'm disabled and thought Disney was better set up for the handicapped to visit and stay.
Staying at the cabins right now, you can add those to this list. If you’re going with a family of adults, stay away. The busses take forever, the mug refilling stations make it totally not worth it to buy them, and the cabins are small! Not worth it.
Same, never again
DW, too expensive, too complicated and too exhausting to be a vacation. Since when did being on vacation mean being on your phone from sunrise to sunset, queuing for hours,paying extortionate amounts of money for a bottle of water or soda and stressing over how and where you are going to eat. I admire your loyalty AJ and team and how you try to flag up things that are really not worth it. For me, it is just a no brainer. I want to relax on holiday and DW no longer allows that. I have been many many times but no, just no.
Here, here!
No ya an awesome placE to be
Especially for kids
I'm going back very soon for my first visit in twenty years and I already know this will be my last trip. Quite frankly, I am even dreading this one - especially as I'm leaving my safe confines of Perth, Western Australia and heading into covid central. I feel like Frodo leaving the Shire and about to head to Mount Doom!
@@tulinfirenze1990 a vacation should never make you feel that way especially before you have even left. I truly, truly hope you have a really good time and that you enjoy the whole experience. Perhaps my view is misplaced.
in exchange for pool closures they should allow pool hopping.
Just stayed at All Star Movies Resort last week. They are great! The rooms look so much better than they did before and the beds are actually cozy.
One thing people should know about the Swan and Dophin hotels: there is a daily resort fee (about $35) on top of the hotel room fee, something the Disney-owned hotels do not have.
I believe that your information is partially incorrect. Jan 23rd - 28th only the CBR to Epcot line is going to be closed, not the entire Skyliner system.
The bus being full by getting to my stop legit made me want to rage quit my vacation
We love the wilderness lodge. We have stayed here for the past 15 Disney trips.
Hey AJ, this is a couple of videos now where you've given incorrect information about the Skyliner closure in January. It's not the entire Skyliner system, it's the CBR Riviera Epcot line only that will be down. You'll still be able to go from AoA/PC to CBR and CBR to HS.
Ok. So I'm not the only one scratching my head here. I hadn't heard the Hollywood studios or Pop/art to CBR was closing. Only the epcot line.
Really
When I stay at the Swan or Dolphin, I just walk to Boardwalk or Beach and Yacht Club to get the bus to the Magic Kingdom. Same for coming back after the fireworks.
Pop century is one of the best in my opinion. I love the decade themed. I know alot of people hate the oversized props but I think they are nostalgic.
Pop century sucked, the garbage bin they call the food court, was horrid!
@@timkunk3498 I don't think there food is that bad but that's just my opinion. I also like pop century because it's cheaper.
@@timkunk3498 food is awesome. Pot roast was great
@@timkunk3498 It's called "economy" for a reason.... The food court isn't any worse than any other at Disney... What the economy resorts don't have is a sit down restaurant, if they did they wouldn't be economy.
I stayed in the Yacht Club hotel in December it was awesome we stayed on the top floor with a great view. The pool was huge it has a lazy river and a fairly tall water slide. We went to the boardwalk two different nights. It was really close to the skyliner that starts in Epcot so we rode that two times. We went to the Magic Kingdom one day and it wasn't that long of a drive. Overall I rate it a 10/10
I will say staying a t a home rental is the best .you can be 5 minutes from the parks rent a car if you want have meals at home and are great prices..love the resorts but getting way to pricey ..
Why on this green earth would you ever EVER wait three hours for the Skyliner? You could walk all the way back by then.
You try walking across the compound from Epcot to Pop Century. Not exactly 'safe' for walking.
We actually like walking to Kidani village and use the pool there, they have a pretty nice secluded Jakuzzi and wet play area. We don't mind walking at all from Jumbo. Also never had problems with the buses at AKL.
Love staying at the Hilton hotels at Disney Springs. We Uber to the park, then hop around throughout the day. Then we have the option to shuttle to Disney Springs and walk to our room OR Uber straight from the park to our hotel. Planning logistics is beyond important when doing a Disney trip!
I just booked a two night stay at pop century for about $280 I’m so excited
Don't forget Port Orleans. That's another multi bus stop resort. I'm a Disney bus driver and I can't tell you how many times guests have complained about delayed service at POFQ.
I can imagine! They should really give FQ their own bus stop/route. I might use a ride share when I’m there this Spring.
I heard that it a very good hotel
The only hotel I had problems with was grand floridian but that wasn't Disney's fault, it was the guests. I got weird looks as if I wasn't supposed to be there. Like it was too expensive for me to be on the property. And I never went back
You don’t have to be inside the parks to make lighting lane reservations.
The older I get, the more time I spend at the resorts rather than the actual parks. Stay at a budget then head to the deluxe to eat and hang out!
May I ask how old ? I went feb 21 ripe drop until closing all weekend. Loved it. I need to have hubby buy expensive sneakers for my high arch. I’m 61 now
Just be sure you have a reservation....
@@carol2girls lol! I still have those days too at 53 but they just aren’t as often as they used to be. 😃 I’ll go pick up my mom and we walk for miles at a time around the resorts, it’s a great way to get outside and spend time together. My favorite shoes for those 12+ mile days are my doc Martin lace up sandals… I bounce like tigger all day!
@@richardmercer2337 sure, if you want to park there but you can always take a bus from Disney springs ( or one of the parks) to whichever resort you want.
@@veronicajude thanks for info
Caribbean beach has a half an hour loop if your the first stop on the loop before leaving the resort last time staying there was 2014 since then i tell people its a beautiful resort but rent a car it’s a big resort
We are doing our first moderate ever in April. FRENCH QUARTER. I’m eager and anxious at the same time
My vacation is Jan 22-29 and we booked our dates over a year ago at Pop Century in large part for the Skyliner. Then they announce closing it for refurbishment for that exact week - so annoying!!!
It’s only the CBR to Epcot line that is closing.
Fort Wilderness is my #1. I sleep in my own bed, I bring my own food and kitchen, I don’t have to pack suit cases, it is super quiet, a great break after the hustle and bustle of the parks!
I’m not even going to WDW but still love watching these videos
I do the same. Its fun to dream 🌸🌸🌸
For the amount of time I spend at the hotel which is literally when I go to bed and to wash and change the art of animation movies music etc are the best
Coronado Springs is perfect for us, but I understand why it isn't for everyone. We hated Pop Century, but there are still people with kids we would recommend it to.
i don’t stay at the disney hotels anymore. i stay at the knight’s inn off 491. it’s just a place to sleep. plus our family friends are the owners❤️
The Yacht club resort does NOT have a DVC area. However, the Beach Club right next door does. However, I would recommend the DVC at the Boardwalk across the lake; good walking access to two parks, and the DVC rooms there are usually some of the least expensive in the park.
Where is the painting of Mrs. Darling reading to her children? And is it available anywhere as a print?
I've been wondering the same thing
I am begging for everyone to look into dvc renting. I use Dave's, who are so easy to deal with.
I booked last week for the final week of sept. Got poly for 6 nights at 296 and that includes the insurance price. Just to compare, on Disney's site Caribbean and New Orleans are 285 a night during those dates.
Even if you don't want to stay at a luxury. Animal kingdom is literally 150 a night through dvc. Stop overpaying
Port Orleans Riverside has 4 stops just btw! One for the each of the different depots and then the main lobby drop off! (Unless this has changed since my last trip, I’m not sure)
Still true! In Nov. ‘21, I took a bus from Epcot to PO FQ in order to get on a Disney Springs bus (I’ll be staying at FQ in a few months). The bus picked us up, headed over to Riverside lobby, north, west, east & south then back again to FQ, THEN to DS (FQ to DS was all of maybe 5 mins tops). I had motion sickness before leaving for DS. I’m not at all looking forward to that again and might use a ride share instead.
@@RRthee1 I love riverside so much but that has to be my LEAST favorite thing. When we stay at Magic Kingdom until extra magic hours closes and then hop on a bus they take us to all of the other depots first before our stop... and we're so exhausted at that point.
I think there was some misinformation about Genie + / lightening Lane only being bookable in park. You were discussing hotel busses and said about how if you didn't get to park on time because of the buses, you'd be bummed as you have to be in park to book genie+/ lightening Lane. My understanding is both of these are bookable from your hotel room IF staying on site which you must be to get the buses
I've been told the skyliner from Pop/AoA to Hollywood Studios will still run, but the line from CB to Epcot will be down. Is that not correct anymore?
Split stays are great. We usually fly in late do first night or two in a value then upgrade. Disney transfers bags right to your new room for free
I just rent a townhouse in a resort in Kissimmee for about 1/3 the price of a resort hotel. I save money cooking at “home” for the family and they usually have their own pool.
Disney should change the resorts that are serviced by a single bus loop with multiple stops so that each stop is instead serviced by its own, separate, dedicated bus route.
For example, break the various sections of the Caribbean Beach resort into separate bus routes similar to how Pop Century and Art of Animation or Port Orleans Riverside and Port Orleans French Quarter have their own buses instead of being on one loop with one bus despite being sister resorts in close proximity.
At Stormalong Bay (Yacht & Beach), don't forget the "baby pool" behind the pirate ship! (Assuming it's still there -- haven't checked for a while.)
It amazes me that the skyliner is only a few years old and already need renovations 🙄..
Probably finding a way to make you pay for riding it.
I love the idea that everyone watching this video has the budget to stay at any Disney resort, but might not because of some inconvenience 😁 It was a big upgrade for me to stay at Pop instead of the All Stars. If I ever have the money to stay at a deluxe I’ll be using Uber not queuing for buses.
Yep - I've noticed a lot of these youtube commentators just casually say, "And if you have kiddos (STOP saying bloody kiddos - it sounds juvenile and ridiculous!), then why not choose to stay at a resort on the monorail loop like the GF, Polynesian or Contemporary?". Yeah, sure - why not? I priced the Contemporary the other week and it was $US1200 per night. That's $2000 Australian dollars!!!! For an Ikea/ Incredibles junk room? Uuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm ................ NO.
I have stayed at both. I found no difference.
If possible drive your own car from the hotels to the parks. We have done this three times during Covid, we always start early so get good close parking. Never have to wait on busses which have been sporadic at best. Good luck
Just stayed at the yatch club first week of February. Stay away. They only pick up trash every other day. No linen cleaning or vacuuming. Just terrible service for the money. Only friendly people at resort were the lifeguards at the pool.
Planning a Disney vacation and want to have the time of your life? Go to Universal instead.
Thank you sooo much AJ! I am going to AoA next month and didn't know the pool would be closed! Now I may make some alterations because of your video!
We stayed at Riverside once, the same time as a large teenage Brazilian soccer group. Well, we always seemed to time things bad, and they were always on our bus on the tiresome ride back. Due to the large size of their group, the driver would let them off first, and go to the traditionally first, main entrance last. One night, I wanted to surprise my family with some beignets, and got into the French Quarter line, letting them know I’ll meet them back at the hotel with a surprise.
After a few minutes, that group showed up to the Port Orleans bus stop. All at once, half the line, my family included, got out of line and into mine. Confused, I asked them why… …apparently NO ONE wanted to ride the bus with that group. They would rather walk from French Quarter! 🤣
The summer of 2019 I had a very similar experience! They weren’t staying at the same resort but omg, every time I turned there was a group of them! And they chanted everywhere they walked
Depends on how much bob cheapek raises the rates and charges for water
My birthday is the 24th of January, so months ago me and my aunt got together to plan a stay at Pop Century for the skyliner over next weekend to celebrate. Then literally in December I hear the skyliner is shutting down the same day we're going to Hollywood Studios lol. Ah, such is life. Still hoping to have a good time all the same.
Not a fan of pop century. Currently staying
We’ve stayed there and it is my least favorite one out of all the ones we’ve stayed at so far, but I know it’s a favorite for others. We also didn’t like Art of Animation.
We just booked a room for July at the Pop Century resort. We thought about the all star resorts as they're a little cheaper (and my family stayed at the Toy Story hotel was a kid, so kinda nostalgic), but the deciding factor for us was that Pop Century got it's own bus, while all the All Star hotels have to share, so we didnt want to deal with not being able to get on a bus because it was full.
I have an idea for a toy story hotel that’s one of the spread out hotels in which the bus stops will be “Bus Stop Luxo”, “Bus Stop West”, “Bus Stop Party”, and “Bus Stop Space”
I LOVE the Grand Floridian! My husband and I just stayed there for our honeymoon and it was just perfect! I’m obsessed lol
Technically the Caribbean Beach resort does have elevators. Each building is equipped with a freight elevator that is used by the bell men and housekeeping. By no means are people allowed on them. If a bell man uses it to get your luggage upstairs, he has to load it. Send it up and then walk up the stairs to retrieve your luggage.
Hello..i Am watching from Indonesia 'good Chanel 👍👍 🙋
We just stayed at animal kingdom lodge with a savanna view. It was a horrible experience. We have stayed at many Disney resorts in the past . This was by the far the worst experience. Killing zebras and a room tht was two hours late and not ready when we got in for starters. Never going back !!!!
Tip. When staying at the Swan I've taken the buses used by the other disney boardwalk hotels which drop you off in front of Magic Kingdom
i'm confused. I thought youcould make some lightning lane reservations as early as 7 a.m. the day of your ticket????
You’re right- you don’t have to be in the park
As a Disney resort guest you can make your first lightning lane reservation at 7:00am from your room.
I'm going at the beginning of Feb for a week and have a reservation at Art of Animation. But with the pool closure (I was staying at The Little Mermaid area) I've been mulling upgrading to Coronado Springs. After this video you might have pushed me to give in and spend the extra $$$.
If you want to stay on budget (and skyliner hotel), try pop century. It’s very similar to Aoa
@@claveauannie Thank you for the suggestion! I looked into it and I think I might swap over there.
@@iangrimm The bonus of pop century is that it’s a bridge away from art of animation, so you can easily access aoa food court and store.
Hey DFB can you cover some hotels that arent the big disney ones? You often mention "good neighbour hotels" but never explain the concept or round up any of them. Can you please do a best of the best or what to look out for in a good neighbour hotel? Maybe comparing pricepoints, and room quality and size compared to what you pay for in the official WDW hotels...
FYI I was told by cast member personal cars onsite for value resorts are going up to 25 per night in May.
Yikes
You end up spending the same with an off site hotel because of ride share costs and you don’t stress yourself out with finding parking, and waking up at 4am 😂 with an on-site everything is their just with an upfront price
I went with Coronado due to uk offer with a dining card
We always stay at beach club because of the convenience the price is a lot but for us it’s worth spending that much more for the closeness to Epcot and skyliner and boats. It’s such a great hotel but $700 a night for 8-9nights is alot so we only go every other year.
It's not what it once was Disney world is a ripoff. They changed for parking and I was staying at the hotel!! I'm never going back.
when i go in december, im staying in polynesian but when i went 2 years ago, i stayed at pop century the experiance was very nice. Idk how a deluxe feels BUT the value is def worth it for me.
You got me inspired to look at our trip that's just 65 days away, and I just realized I forgot to rent a car for our trip. Originally I got a rental for $150 for 3 days for March 2020. My price for March 2022.... $480 At this point I just want to get this trip OVER with.
We had a room at Carribbean Beach that was one of the furthest from the main lobby. But....one perk was our bus stop was the last to pick up and first to drop off. It was the least they could do since it was a 15 min hike to go to main pool.
It was a certain hotel I went too where it was Lion King, and I hated it so much. It was pretty crowded but thats not the problem, the was basically a pebble textured, like stepping on rocks over and over. It hurted and was extremely annoying. Another thing that made it worst, no carpet.
We're going back and forth over CBR vs French Quarter. Tough decision.
I wish we knew about split stay. We extended our stay by 3 nights in March, but gave up our art of animation room for all star movie. I would have just stayed 3 nights somewhere else and kept AoA for the majority of the trip
AJ! Is there anyway you can talk about/discuss Shades of Green? (I’m Army) Longtime listener, and my fiancé and I are planning a trip, but haven’t heard this mentioned in any videos. Would love the chance to hear more!
I just finished paying off my tickets and room for my March trip! I’m going before all the spring break crowds but I cannot wait!!! 54 days!!!
This video was so helpful !! Please make one of these every year 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yeah they really helpful
Kinda wimped out here, this year. Basically: Hotels under construction, hotels that have lots of bus stops, Skyliner Hotels for basically 2 weeks of the year, one for refurb (I know it's only half the line, but losing that access is a bid deal), the other due to Epcot's anniversary in October, and know the right hotel for your party. It's mostly common-sense stuff.
On the pool list, AJ should've mentioned the Pirate Pool at the Caribbean Beach. Kids love it (There are better waterslides than the one in the fort, IMHO).
Theming does matter. Our first trip we stayed at All-Star Movies, and while the room was small, it was a great place for a 6-year-old to stay in the Toy Story buildings. there are a lot of great themed Disney resorts that are not strictly Disney themed. Keep that in mind. OTOH, each of those resorts has at least one gift shop full of Disney merchandise, usually enough to keep the wee ones happy.
But yeah, know your group, research constructions and closures. The Ft. Wilderness cabins are great for a family, not as much if it's an adult family, and know that you're a good distance to travel to get to amenities like drink fountains, etc.
The Caribbean Beach Resort is notorious for its bus service, but if you're driving, this becomes the most centrally located moderate with quick access to anywhere.
Check out the Disney Springs hotels, and the Bonnet Creek Resorts as well.
There is no one right way to Disney, only your way, which could be club level at the Poly, completely off-property, at an All-Star resort during a cheerleader competition, etc. Research, research, research!
Our family has been going to the pop since 2000 we have tried Caribbean beach and Coronado hotels and we always end up back at pop
Disney needs to create a better queue system at their loop bus stops. Basically there's no queue so aggressive newcomers will jump onto an arriving bus in front of guests who have been waiting patiently for that next bus. This sometimes results in the bus filling up before the people who had been waiting can get on. So what can these people do; start an argument or wait for the next bus and hope history doesn't repeat itself . Not exactly a Magical Experience.
I love what you do
I thought you could make lightning lane reservations from your resort. Is that just individual fancy ride selections??
We’re more of resort stay people so where we stay really matters! And I need a gym 😅
How nice is animal kingdom lodge. It will be my first time staying at a deluxe and normally just stay at AoA. So just how much nicer is it?
Soooo disappointed my deluxe hotel did NOT include room service. I’m sorry but if I have to make make up my own bed, pick up my own food and take out the trash ON VACATION, I’ll stay home. Plus, for the cost of an All-Star resort you could stay at a Marriott or Hilton!!!!
OMG...I had to go back and listen to the beginning of your video I first thought you said that the Skyliner was going to be closed starting in January 23 (2023) and reopen in April 28 (2028)... It actually meant during the the 2022 year it will be closed from January 23-April 28, 2022. A small heart attack, until I re-listened!!! :) Honestly, they need to open up more resorts and Animal Kingdom to Skyliner!
Pop century is great! They have good service, great theming, nice pools, and nice modern rooms.
Not sure if anyone else is seeing the sturdy belt advert before the video starts, but it makes me think of Kitten Mittens
I'm pretty sure that Fort Wilderness has an internal bus loop too, but it wasn't mentioned.
Hello AJ and crew my wife and I are going in October of this celebrating our anniversary and birthday but question to you is since we are still in the pandemic and we had to cancel our trio twice ( 2020 and 2921) we put on a little bit of weight since our last trip in 2919. One ride we did not get to experience was the kali rapids because two people out of my group were told to get off the ride because they couldn’t buckle themselves in, so now that we are a little bit wider around the hips and that we have those belt extensions can they be use in some rides in walt Disney world without having being told we need to excuse ourselves.
We stayed at Wilderness Lodge for a week in June, 2021. Phenominal experience! 👍
I'd also plan for the parks, not so much what the hotel offers. As long as I have a bed, a shower and transport to the parks, I'm good :)
Now that Disney has canceled the free bus trips(Disney express) the Swan and Dolphin are even better deals, since that reason for higher prices for Disney hotels doesn't apply anymore.
The price of the deluxe resorts are just too over the top. Sure, they're close to Epcot/Studio or MK but the time saving is just not worth it. Nor are the things like restaurants or pools. I'm just not there much- I'm at the parks all day and eat nearly all my meals at the parks. It feels like literally thousands of dollars additional cost to walk through a nicer lobby to crash in my room and not much else.
I’m watching this a week AFTER I come back from Disney World
Thank you AJ and team!!
when we go we usually stay in universal hotels but i just love watching the videos even if they have nothing to do with my trip lol
