The lodge was absolute amazing. I must say Geyser Point is a huge plus for VWL right now. We got the Brisket and chips twice. They were so good. Turkey sandwich is enough for two easily. RF you need to order ahead of time. Give it at least 1/2 hour before you want to eat. You just show them your refillable cups and they give you what you would like for dinks in paper cups. I think they will come up with another way in the future. Maybe link to your
MDE app. There was a manager at RF who apparently wasn’t usually at QS but she was amazing. My first time there this trip was a little chaotic and to add to I didn’t know I was supposed to order ahead of time. At that time I only wanted the refillable cups anyway and you can’t order them on the app yet. There was a problem with the register that had plexiglass in front of and and wouldn’t work, but there were 2 other registers without Plexi that did work. The two girls refused to use them because there was no pkexi in front of them. I had a mask on they had masks on. One of the girls literally just walked away from the manager after the manager told her to get a face shield if she didn’t feel comfortable and proceeded to have a guest a ask her a question about there app. She was face to face with a guest no plexi between (they both had face masks on). She had no problem talking to that guest but would not check me out. The check out line was getting longer and longer. The manager said to the CM that didn’t walk away that they would have a discussion with the whole team about servicing guests and if they are worried they can get a face shield not just refuse to help a guest. The hot tub was not hot and we were told y another guest that it had been the night before. The first night we thought it was due to it had just rained so hard. Second night is when we figured out it wasn’t. The hot tub was a very busy spot. I think everyone really enjoys that when on vacation. We met some nice people. The pool had times when it wasn’t busy at all. We
spent our morning that we were going to Epcot at the pool it was great. So beautifu. The main pool was much busier.
I love the Lobby of VWL but the fireplaces only were lit two days out of our 5 days. We usually only “stop” on our way back to our rooms for just a short sit to relax. i
I Thought there was something wrong with them and asked at the desk and they said they are not always lit. I said you mean on purpose? And she said yes. I said I thought they were just always lit 24 hours a day? The CM said they used to be but since we have reopened they are not. I thought that was very disappointing asI find them very special. The rooms were very clean and all the CM’s were great. I loved the 30% discount. I did notice it seams they have not reordered merchandise as it was really limited. I totally understand this from a business perspectiv.
I love my Disneysnacks and usually stock up to bring home so when I am missing Disney it brings me back. They had very limited snacks. No wrapped rice crispie treats or the Pretzels we usually like to take home. They did have fresh made rice crispie treats at Main street bakery but limited. We ate at Le Cellier and it was amazing! First time for us and we will be back. We also ate at Narcoose for my Birthday and I’m not sure we will rush back. The other times I absolutely Loved it.
I am having trouble getting reservations for our Nov/Dec trip. I will have to stock the reservation app for next 50 days.
Disney is really doing a great job at social Distancing. It is amazing how creative they are. The rule breakers I saw were usually eating in line, so apparently they thought it was ok to not have their ask on on line because they were eating. We just add sure we stayed back far enough and nobody complained as I think they knew why we were staying 12 feet away.
when we were waiting for the tragic express we were seated at the seats in the main lobby. There was somebody who was on the phone yapping away without his mask off. He was 6 ft away but it bothered me so we moved.
If we didn’t go all the time I am not sure I would suggest someone to go, but for us it was amazing and I am so glad we went and can’t wait to go again. Sorry for the long post but I love reading reports from all l of you when you go.
