hotel

First trip to DL with an 8 and 11 yr old. Totally overwhelmed with choosing a hotel. Most important things to us are: 1. Location 2. Pool 3. Price Everything else is icing on top. We are used to staying at value or moderate hotels at WDW. What do people suggest and why? TIA!

I didn’t see any reviews so I’ll ask the question, has anyone stayed at the Celebration Hotel? It is part of the Marriott Autograph Collection, so you can earn and redeem points similar to Swan and Dolphin, without resort fees, and I believe only $10/night for parking when I last checked. You...

Hi there, We recently finished a stay at Disneyland Hotel and made frequent use of the E Ticket Lounge. They had a chia pudding that was just fantastic. Had it for breakfast every morning, and I would really like to replicate it for home life. There are a ton of chia pudding recipes online...

I've just booked a Verry Merry Time for this Christmas! I've never been out of Galveston and curious if it is cheaper and just as easy to stay in Houston the night before the cruise and then transfer the morning of. The first cruise I took I actually stayed in Jacksonville for complex reasons...

Planning my first ever, solo, trip to DL, and trying to pick a hotel from dozens... I will be renting a scooter from somewhere nearby and scootering to and through the parks each day, so distance to the hotel isn't a factor. I would prefer newer built or remodeled places, sure, but my main...

Hi all I'm a bit stuck on which direction I should go for where to stay for a Jan 2022 trip! It's 3 adults--my parents and I--and 2 kids (mine!). We've stayed at AoA before and I wasn't super fond of it--I personally love the Yacht Club because of the location and the pool and there are larger...

We are taking a Disney cruise at the end of October and are coming to Orlando a few days early to do something the kids haven’t done. First my wife thought Sea World since non of us have been there, but I thought immediately of getting my kids to Universal and the Wizzarding World! With the big...

I’m trying to make a list of items I need delivered to my room, what brand of coffee does Holiday Inn provide? Trying to decide if I need to add that to the list or not.

Hi Everyone! I've been a "lurker" on here for a while but finally created an account to create my own post! I want to see if I can get some insights on if it is a good idea to spend the $$$ to stay at the Poly when there's construction and no monorail. We were thinking of going in August to...

Hey everyone. Looking for some expertise. My family of 4 (DH, DS 4, and DS 2) are heading down to Florida in the latter half of April to visit some family. After our visit, we are planning on booking a hotel somewhere for a few nights to have some more fun just us. Because my kids aren't used...

We have not been to Disney since Covid began. We are thinking about going back for a few days but don't want to stay in a hotel that has interior hallways. Which Disney hotels/resorts have outside/open air entrances to the rooms? Ideally, we wanted to stay on the boardwalk but I believe all of...

Edited: 11/7/13 Well lately I've been seeing a lot of questions being asked about the Grand Californian, and since I will be staying there in March, I thought it would be helpful to make an information super thread about it. So if anyone has any specs on the building, room related...

I’m a hoping that a friend will be able to join my family and I on a trip to Disney for a few days this summer. We have a two week reservation at AKL and my friend is hoping to join us for 3/4 days. She should be able to join our room, based on room occupancy. I’ve seen on other posts that...

Has anyone notices on the latest historical imagery dated 9/05/2019 on Google Earth of Castaway Cay, the rectangular clearing near the interior end of the old runway? I'm assuming that due to its size and location it's Castmember facilities and most likely solar panel field.

Hi guys. I am already planning this and I know I can't actually reserve it yet but I figured I ask anyways. I am looking to propose to my girlfriend in late 2021. I know I can't reserve the room until next june. But do you have any thoughts or advice on how the deposit / when full balance is...

Cruising Disney Magic early February and need hotel recommendations staying in Miami area two nights before cruise. We have a large group of 10 people so either multiple rooms or a very large room or two. Want safe, fun, on the beach, convenient and not going to break the bank hotel. Also...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew the policy about a “cutoff time” to check in without being charged for an extra night. Example: if you booked one night on 11/15 and you arrived at the hotel at 1am on 11/15- is there a possibility they have your room and you can crash/get up later and...

I am having a little trouble figuring out which one is better for my family. I have 3 kids (8-10 yr old boys). I took them to Disney world 2 years ago and stayed at the Contemporary onsite hotel for 1 week and had a blast. This time, we are really going for the universal studio Harry...

Hello! First time poster but long-time lurker. I am a DLR local, planning a trip for WDW later this year. When I was in Europe a few months ago browsing the WDW booking websites, I noticed that there can be a significant difference between prices in US dollars, British pounds, and Euros. Does...

We are a military family moving across the country and have, at the last minute, decided to stop in Disneyland. But we really know nothing about Disneyland, and we leave tomorrow. Is this even possible? LOL We know we can get discount military tickets at the gate, so that is covered. But we...
