We also haven't seen anything as bad as the hour and a half in our trips either, so something must be going on.
But for my AK example, if you miss the bus, which we assume we did, it was 45 minutes to the next one, which is pretty nuts. Then it's 15 minutes to the park, then 10 minutes to get in through security and tickets and up into the main hub. So maybe not exactly an hour and a half but it was bad.
Anyway, tonight is our last night. Off ton Wilderness Lodge tomorrow. After being in this refurb room I don't see how the next one will compare. We would stay here again for sure if we knew we could get one of these rooms. Almost don't want to go to WL but we won't be back to Disney for quite some time so it's the last chance we have to check out a different hotel.
Did marshmallows by the fire tonight, staff was all having fun and we ate many of them. Pool and hot tub again, it was chilly and raining but didn't matter, still went out there.
Other random things.. Nachos from the food counter by the pool are good snack for three people.
Instacart delivery of food, wine, and rum was very easy, they met me at the lobby for the drop off.
Go jogging around the whole resort early in the morning, before the sun comes up. It's interesting to see all the theming in the different areas. I do feel spoiled being in 8A though, our area feels a bit exclusive compared to some of the really large buildings in the other sections. But that's just me speaking as a renovated room elitist. Also seeing the whole place in the dark and watching the sun come up is a great sight.
I guess that's it. Wish we had more time here, or a few more non park days. Still no clue what all the complaints were about. I will think on it for a few days and come back with some nitpicking if we really need at least one or two things to complain about.
