We went to Epcot at early opening time last week and went straight to Soarin', which was a total walk on. That area of the park was empty during that period. The crowd went to other areas.
That sounds like a good plan! Thank you! Maybe we’ll see ya there lolWe went to Epcot at early opening time last week and went straight to Soarin', which was a total walk on. That area of the park was empty during that period. The crowd went to other areas.
If you buy Genie+ and ILL$ for Frozen and Remy then you don't really have to worry about lines. I would probably pick up Genie+ for Test Track and Spaceship Earth and then walk directly to Soarin' and do the five rides that are over there. Spaceship Earth is busy until the evening hours and a lot of people head straight to Test Track from the main entrance.
We will be at Epcot on March 6th, too.
We are staying in a WV for our upcoming trip, in hopes of a nice view of BWI. I was checking the prices & now considering GV CL. This part of the trip will be just DH & I. Thoughts, please
So paying those prices for breakfast & a few apps is kind of crazy.
I'll be there too! We're all going to see Rick Springfield, aren't we? Or is that just me?
Yes, you can use your own tube as long as they are clear. I know someone who bought their tube and brought it to SAB. Her biggest problem was having people think she was "hogging" the tube. I think she said she bought it at Walmart. She posts here once in awhile.
Obviously, you did not see the shot clock hanging from the bridge!

Yes. She said she met you a couple days before we ran into her.

) and our room was ready. I cannot for the life of me remember our room number 
but walking from the elevators on the 5th floor, it was just down the right hall, the room being on the left hand side right in front of the suite (tbh ANY room on the left side of that hallway would've been lovely). It was way more spacious than I anticipated. We had two queen beds and a pullout couch. I would say five people could sleep comfortably at least. Our view was gorgeous! We hadn't personally requested a view or room, but my BF's sister who used to work for Disney has a friend in concierge who chose a lovely room for us. We had a near perfect view of the fireworks from EPCOT every night and during the day a lovely courtyard view below. You could see crescent lake and a bit of BWI if you turned right.
Thanks for the update. It reminded me that I didn't report on our check in experience.
Thought I would do a little review of the BC CL from last week while it's still fresh in my mind for those that have upcoming trips!
We arrived Sunday, 2/6 around 12:30 PM after a quick drive from Jacksonville. We checked in with the attendant at the gate and they sent us through to valet. Bell service would've gladly taken our bags, but we didn't have many so opted to just carry them. The first thing I noticed was how clean the lobby smelled and it was still as bubbly as I remembered (something that draws me more to BC than YC). We approached one of the greeters who had an ipad, told him we were checking in, and once realizing we were CL he took us right up.
Check in was a breeze, all of the CMs were SO nice and helpful. We were offered a welcome drink but just opted for water (the wine was tempting after the morning we had with getting our cats to their boarding, however
Mousekeeping came everyday and supplied us with fresh sheets, towels, way more toiletries than necessary (which I absolutely took home lol), and the occasional towel formation; they loved using the minnie ears I didn't wear to the parks that day in them. We were also brought an entire microwave when I asked if there was one in lounge and told there wasn't. I didn't realize they had some on hand for guests at the time who requested them.
I posted a lot over on the CL thread if you want to read back, but we had a wonderful time and were happy with the selections for the most part. Afternoon snacks got kinda old fast (I'm not really a chip gal) but breakfast, apps, and desserts were lovely. CMs were VERY attentive. I remember coming back to our room for a break only to find it being cleaned so we waited in the lounge. In that 30 min span, we were asked by FOUR different CMs if we needed anything so they definitely paid attention to their guests.
The grounds were kept near spotless, the music they play around the resort grounds is so relaxing, and the marketplace had good food options, too. You can't beat the walk to epcot, either nor the easy boat ride to HS. We did end up taking that "not so secret" secret hallway a couple of times to get back to the lobby from Epcot and I can see in the summertime it being a wonderful option.
Okay, this got super lengthy but we LOVED our stay and will be back. I would be happy to answer any questions, or if someone really wants to know, I could try to find out what room we were in. ☺
Yes they did a full housekeeping daily! I've heard they're currently only doing so for CL. I do tip them well daily. Not sure how well Disney pays them, but I hope they know they're very much appreciated and make a big difference coming back to the resort every evening.Nice!
Housekeeping came everyday? They made your bed? I wonder if this is only for Club Level.
We booked a standard view - they will probably ask us to clean the CL bathrooms.
