    Is this right in the middle between Trails End and the Settlement? I am so heartbroken to see all these changes.  I am so glad our trip is next December.  But it still will never be the same. 

    It's more between the Golf Cart parking in front of Trails End and the Trading post. It's right up agains the golf cart parking side.

    I fall in between you two. I don't think Smuggler's Run is awful- but it's not anywhere near my favorite ride. The masses seem to agree, as wait times have been very low for what was supposed to be a blockbuster attraction. 

    I hope that you both get to ride ROTR soon. The big problem I see is that there are so many components to the attraction, and it relies so much on technology, that it is bound to have problems operating efficiency. That was and still is a problem with FOP.

    The bus conversion pulls into the Fort Dec 23. DHS is Dec 24. 😄

  8. Cabin Parking

    Last time we stayed at FQ, we were told that security controls the parking fees, not the resort.  So it seems that when you check in with a vehicle and they see you have a reservation, you get a parking fee added to your total.

    Not certain that is true as I have had several clients charged for parking who flew in. They had the charges removed but only because they knew to look for them.

    As we all know, rules are malleable at the Fort. 

    Things are crazy in late December. I think they'll let a small utility trailer be parked at a cabin.

    Maybe but I prefer to offer up the rules and if you get better results in a case awesome but I never assume. Also not sure where with a truck and a cart also at the cabin. In between cabins?

  13. Spirit of Aloha Question

    Hello all,

     

    My ADR windows opens on Christmas Eve (early Christmas presents for me!).  Last trip we did a ton of character dinners.  Kids didn't get as much out of it as we'd hoped and the food didn't necessarily wow us on many of them.

    I've decided that for sure we're doing HDDR.  We'd really hoped for Mickey's Backyard BBQ (RIP), but since that's not a choice I'm considering Spirit of Aloha.  Pawing through the bowels of the site, most of the discussion about SOA is 4+ years old and the reviews are mixed.  Has anyone hit SOA recently?   

     

    Thanks

    My wife and I went a year or so ago and the food had gone way down. Show was still good but just not worth the money to us.

    So if I’m understanding correctly, I could arrive at DHS at 8:00am, walk to Galaxys edge and then if I’m lucky get a boarding time that could be, theoretically, at 8:00 pm. 
    is that correct?

    I would arrive earlier than that if RotR is a priority for you. Your Boarding group doesnt give you a set time. As they work through a certain number of people per group they are calling the next, via the app with I think a text message/notification or checking within the app. If you get say group 45 you could in theory be called at 8 pm later that day.

    Gotcha.  Sorry if I missed this... but once your boarding group is called, how long do you wait to actually ride the ride?

    Once called you have up to two hours to get to the ride. It willl vary some but I have heard reports of people arriving and being done with the ride in 30-45 minutes. The highly themed queue and ride  take about 20 minutes.

    Anyone know what the current ride wait time is for Rise of the Resistance? I thought I read about a different type of "sign-up" for ride times on launch day...but could have misunderstood. 

    They are having people sign up for Boarding groups to ride the ride vs. long waits in line. You must be in a boarding group to ride the ride as of right now. I am sure that will change in the future. Your entire party must be inside the park and then you can use the app to join a boarding group. Then you can even park hop to another park or go back to the Fort while you wait if you wanted to. you ahve up to 2 hours after your group is notified in the app you can come ride. Boarding groups have been running out early. Before 9am and they have expanded the morning hours at DHS through January 2.

    I did notice you can no longer request a loop. But they may have made that decision a few years ago as well. We love the 1600 loop. I have a few questions, if someone doesn't mind answering them.

    1) Should we still fax?

    2) My in-laws are coming this time, so I had plan to fax for their rig as well...with a simple "please put us near our kids" type request. Does that work? Or is there another way to request to be near someone?

    3) What number is everyone calling? The main line?

    TIA!!

    If you have two reservations you request them be linked with a Travel With number by Calling in to Disney Reservations. You can fax that request in as well. This lets them know though you are traveling together and would like to be near each other. This is how I set it up for clients.

    We sent a fax and then followed up with a phone call 3 weeks later...they had no knowledge of any fax or site requests from our end. 

    Faxes have gone to a separate location all along and up until recently were frequently lost if not sent in the last 10 days before arrival. With this new system that went live fairly recently they should be going to the same people who will be handling the online requests but I do not know if they will be visible to the cast members you would get when calling in. The called in ones get logged into the reservation notes. I usually call in for clients as soon as they have a request and fax in the last 5-10 days. With the new system I will probably be pushing that out to 30 days and again in the 5-10 day period.

    Where I see the possible issues arising are special requests.  A system that has apparently worked well for many years (faxing requests) could be in peril.  I'm being told by another travel agent who works the Fort a lot (sorry Jason) that the faxes are being forwarded to the new assignment group.  How long will this last?? 

     

    No worries. I had written on the previous post that word was the faxes were going to be going to this group but I hadnt seen proof of any change yet at that time.
