Yeah the boathouse didn't start accepting reservations until almost a month after opening.
The best of news! WDW has always been lacking in this respect... Epcot does have great options though (I have to say the best part about that table service is the ambiance), and the food court at Coronado Springs is actually fairly decent for quick service. I haven't tried that Resort's higher end restaurant, but reviews are not extremely great.
I like reason that they're doing this, "The decision for a 4th hotel stems from the fact that the 3 existing Disney Hotels operate at 90% occupancy."
Yes exactly. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like any hotels are in the works at moment.
Those are restrooms and utility room.
Well technically in this case the free market did work. They over reached and as a result are in the position of not only refunding people but still having to hand out the tote bags and give them special treatment anyway. The free market works great when:
1) It's actually free so there are alternatives
and/or
2) Customers actually push back.
There wasn't even the thinnest coating of pixie dust on this particular offering. They should have added the cupcake.
The last time they opened something huge, hotel occupancy exploded in the Resort district. As they get a handle on their parking situation it will become more feasible to add new Resorts. Maybe not this year or next, but by 2020 or beyond I wouldn't be shocked if they started moving in that direction.
