Loved your detailed Trip Report. Thank you. Especially loved that I got to hear about the Poly side of town. (own DVC there) We were there EXACT dates but at Boardwalk Villas. Had a wonderful experience in a totally different environment for us (adult DD in her own studio across the hall and myself, Mom).
We are used to severe snowstorms but not hurricanes. I thought we'd be anxious but felt safe & cozy and appreciative of all the Cast Members who stayed and the kindness of everyone at Boardwalk and the other guests. It was actually a very nice experience. Aside from the horrendously loud helicopters (many) flying over my room Wednesday at 2:00 - 3:00 am for at least 25 minutes. Presume either Search & Rescue or Supplies. I really think Military because we spend time very near Cape Canaveral (Cocoa Beach) and constantly see Military helicopters coming from Patrick Airforce base to Canaveral. Same VERY loud noise.
Thought Disney did one terrific job. VERY impressed. If you have to be somewhere during a hurricane, a Disney resort (especially Deluxe, I can imagine) is the place to be.
I especially liked your videos. Stayed at Swan & Dolphin years ago and appreciated the cheap(er) rate while being where the action is (Epcot). We did go to get a few juices etc. there during the hurricane and wandered the hallways for old times sake and did notice the Dolphin had gone downhill. Was surprised.
I was aghast that Housekeeping was in your room at that time. That is TOTALLY unacceptable. Hopefully you will get a survey from Poly and make SURE you let them know what happened. Terrible, scary actually, experience.
Thank you again for relating your experiences. Loved reading it and glad you're all safe. I'm sorry if I hijacked your thread. Really did love your report.
