We go to the poly quote often. It’s our favorite monorail Resort. And on the past we just parked where ever we wanted to. But last summer the guard had us park to the right, as you enter the parking lot.

Interesting. I never knew or thought about a resorts parking lot getting full. I just figured they had more than enough parking spots for all their guests.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact we are AP holders? the guards know we get free parking at the parks. So maybe they figure there’s no need for us t try and park at a resort to avoid paying parking fees?

“They try to limit access when lot is closed” what lot is closed? The resort lot? Or the parks, parking lots? it would make sense for the guards to be on high alert if the parks are full. ive gone to the several resorts during the busiest time of the year, Christmas and said we are going to take pictures or walk around and we’ve never been turned away. I mentioned swimming pools are reserved for resort guests and forgot the fitness center. Your right the fitness center is for resort guests only.

Yep? but I’m the 7-11’s in Italy you can get a Beverly slurpee. Yum!

See I and probably Disney completely disagree with you calling yourself a freeeloader. Disney wants people to visit the resorts, including the fort and doing exactly what you were doing. Spending money. I don’t know where this idea that the fort and it’s facilities are for the exclusive use of fort guests. Yes the pool is for the use of fort guests but that’s the same at all resorts. Except for dvc members. They can use some of the other pools around WDW. Amd yes there people who are not fort guests that use the swimming pools. And non resort guest who use the picnic pavilions, And imho. They are the freeloaders.

Besides the swimming pools. Disneys policy is that everyone, not just AP holders are entitled to use any and all facilities at any resort, including the Fort, that they want to. So what exactly are AP holders demanding access to that is against Disney’s policies??? Any local, Floridian, AP holder, Texan, New Yorker, etc can go to the camp fire, or Crockett’s tavern, or clementines beach, or go to the beach at the Poly or Grand Floridian and watch the fireworks. Go to PO Riverside and watch YeeHaw Bob or ride a surrey bike. They can go to Saratoga Springs and play golf. Etc. Etc. Etc.

We might have a winner! we haven’t been to Paddlefish, well since before it was paddlefish. I’m all about the view.

I can’t wait. I don’t know why but I’m excited to ride them. 300 gondolas is any impressive number.

We ate at Blaze Pizza last Christmas. Loved it! and it’s reasonably priced.

We’ve watched Jaleo being built from the outside bar at Splitsville. Love Tapas bars so definitely on the short list this trip. Great suggestion. We ate at Puck’s restaurant before the DS remodel. Always good food. We will also be at WDW during the Memorial Day holiday. If possible I’d like to shake your hand and put a face with the name. Perhaps we will run into each other at DS.

It’s a great spot. I recommend it to everyone that asks.

Great minds think a like. I love the outside bar for people watching & sports watching. DW loves it because they usually have live music. DD loves it because she can get a daiquiri. (Virgin of course)

I believe your talking about Geyser point. Another great suggestion. Last Christmas we spent some time there visiting with Kelly, GaDawgFan and her family. Good times!

Great suggestion. That’s one of our favorite spots at DS. I like to sit outside and watch the amphicars splash into the lake.
