And don't forget to watch the Electrical Water Parade at night, it's a classic, from opening. It's not terribly fancy, but very nostalgic and old Disney! The FD can tell you what time it passes the WL. Ask for an odd numbered room at BRV, those face the lake. If you are in a studio, try to avoid 4533, it's the only room at BRV without a balcony.Yep, it's already on my list multiple times, I have 5 nights at BRV.
Already requested a bunch of rooms and part of that was “please not 4533”
I don’t think I will be able to get over there, but I’m assuming it’s a water park on steroids?
It’s for sale, but I’m in no rush to sell it.
How was your trip??? Hope you all enjoyed it! Hard to believe it's already over!
I will definitely check it out! So glad you had a good trip! I love the WL and can't wait to be back in September.
Thats right, I was supposed to check your trip report before I left!!
I do love the wider walkways though! And, of course, the Peoplemover.
My first steps into MK will be tomorrow evening/night after doing DHS all day (I have to make up for anything I was planning on doing tonight at DHS, so it could be a long day)I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Magic Kingdom since you're a Disneyland person! Even though I went to WDW a few times as a kid, as an adult, I am definitely a Disneylander. So for me, MK feels so weird to walk around. It's Bizarro-Disneyland and things aren't where they are supposed to be.
Yes, very weird. lolI can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Magic Kingdom since you're a Disneyland person!

Yikes on the timing of getting in to your room. I once got a $100 credit to our account for them getting us in at 4.30pm and I didn’t even complain just made a light comment about how that’s later than usual and the CM at RIV apologized for the delay and said they were going to compensate us. It was really nice and I wasn’t expecting it. See if you can get something for how late they checked you in. Hopefully today will be a better one!Quick update, the honeymoon is over. lol
So switching from Boardwalk to Boulder Ridge. I left MK at about 3:30 taking the scenic route (monorail to BLT then boat to WL) and checking out contemporary/BLT on the way so I figured room would be ready by the time I got there or soon after… I got here about 4:30 or so, no notification on my phone that room was ready, but around 5:15pm I got a text that says “still preparing the room”. So I got a mickey bar & took a walking tour around, but after an hour I’m then basically sleeping in the lobby, so at around 6:45 I went up to front desk to see if there was a problem, and he said “hmm, that’s weird I wonder why it’s not showing ready yet” gets on the phone, makes a call, then gives me the very last room at the end of the hall on the parking lot side, it’s dark out right now, but I’m assuming those are the trash dumpsters out there.? lol
So it’s not the end of the world by any means and maybe it’s just luck of the draw, but it makes me wonder, did I piss someone off?
Since I am the last person to check-in the only available room is the worst one in the building? (thanks for the misleading text. lol)
Is there anything that I could have done different, besides been a squeakier wheel? (If I hadn’t got the text telling me they were still working on it, I’m sure I would have said something a lot sooner)
Anyway, not the best start, and of course I feel similar that now I like Boardwalk better. (change is always tough. lol)
Also, realizing 12 day trip isn’t needed to do everything. Thinking 9 is the magic number (2 travel days and 7 park days)
The room is great (inside), but I'm also somewhat fine with my BRV being up for sale already… maybe just a bit of sour grapes.
Tomorrow is a new day & I have 5 more here to turn it around, I’m thinking Geyser Point will help with that.
*edit*
I had typed this last night, but didn’t post it so I’ve edited it after sleeping on it.
Maybe ask if you can do a room change? They could move you, but you might be out of a room until the afternoon again. Maybe if you explain that you didn't get a room until almost 7pm they can get you into a different room faster this time!Quick update, the honeymoon is over. lol
