Just returned Dec31-Jan8. Great time.
Stayed in AB 2530, a perfect room (for us). Quiet wooded view and just steps from the West Depot. Requested the building via fax five days out. The walk to the lobby is not an issue for us, much prefer the short walk to a quiet West Depot. On occasion we would get off at South to have dinner before going back to the room.
Did the boat to DTD, but didn't do the pool, bikes, movie, or FQ's campfire this time.
Food court was OK in taste, but they did seem quite slow and un-involved in service. One college-age person had their A game on, but everyone else seemed to be zoned out and careless. But we saw that same attitude and performance in the food staff elsewhere too.
Bus service for the West Depot was awesome again, except for one afternoon. EP had EMH and ran three busses by in a row (understandable), then AK ran 5 by in a row (what? who goes to AK after the animals close)...we waited the full 20+ mins on that day waiting for HS.
Baggage service was abit tip hungry, but we love checking bags there instead of the airport.
Did a split stay (even there is no such thing) and did have to re-check back in, but kept same room no issue.
After seeing the plastic-y and high-colored parks all day, POR and esp the AB section - just have such a great feeling to go home to. Cue the crickets.
