Split Stay WDW

I used my bounce back offer to plan a trip for next June. We currently are booked at the Wilderness Lodge in a water view room. I am hoping to change to a deluxe studio at WL, AKL, or Riviera. We loved AKL but want to check out something different. My question is with a split stay - Riviera plus somewhere else.

My question... Has anyone ever used a bounce back offer and bought points (say with David's) on one vacation? ( I can't divide my bounce back between 2 resorts.)

Apple Watch Calibration

Hey, all! I got a new apple watch a few weeks ago and it has been a MESS at getting my pace correct. I didn't think of it outside when I saw the numbers. I move slower when its hot BUT my treadmill and my watch are not aligned at all. My watch has me slower. I've reset the calibration twice. Any other tips. Today for example, treadmill said 2.5 miles and the watch said 2.3. My watch and treadmill more almost exact with my last watch. Any tips??

Tray Pain

I'm on tray 22 of 28 and am on a 10 day switch. I really haven't felt much tenderness or pain at all the past couple tray changes. Well... I put tray 22 in on Saturday night and WHOA my teeth are still tender today (Monday) almost 48 hours later. Is this normal? Thoughts?

WDW Trip Review

Waking up on our last day, departure day, and I have my trip report.

Day 1: arrived to Animal Kingdom Lodge around 1:30pm. We are at Kidani Village in a deluxe studio. The rooms were recently refurbished. Very new and clean! Everything felt fresh. (I have to remind myself that deluxe is NOT actual lux, it’s Disney’s highest level.) The walls are paper thin. (it gives Hyatt Place vibes.) Kidani Village’s pool is great - not huge but my son (11) loved the water slide. We are at the Mara for lunch. Good quick service option! Sanaa for dinner was excellent!

Day 2: Hollywood Studios. An absolute blast! We had a 10:30 breakfast/brunch at Hollywood and Vine. Good variety of food and adorable characters! We rode everything but Slinky Dog (we had a LL but it broke down twice - this becomes a theme). Dinner at Sci Fi Dinner - just ok. It was freezing and the car set up is odd. Honestly just make it a regular drive in and play old Disney movies. Saw Fantasmic at night and it was super cool! (We took a 2 hour break in the room mid day.)

Day 3: Brunch at Kona Cafe at the Polynesian. Good food and nice selection. My husband and son went back to the pool and I walked the running trail loop and explored the Poly and the Grand Floridian. We just went to the Mara for dinner and did the campfire s mores activity. We needed a chill day.

Day 4: Park Hopper. We rope dropped Magic Kingdom and were able to ride everything in Fantasy land (except Mine Train) before our 10:20 breakfast at Crystal Palace. The character breakfast was perfection and we were able to have breakfast and lunch food! After lunch we rode Buzz Lightyear and the Mine Train. Took at 90 mins hotel break and went to HS. Slinky Dog went down again and Rise of the Resistance went down while we were mid ride. We went to Epcot for dinner at Via Napoli and had a LL for Remy after dinner and guess what?! It went down. Epcot is cheesy. I don’t understand the appeal (I’ve travel to many of these places and it’s not the same). The food is just ok and super overpriced.

Day 5: Breakfast at Boma will be wonderful and a little relaxing at the resort before our flight home.

Highlights:

  1. Rides (when up) at Hollywood Studios
  2. Rides at Magic Kingdom
  3. Breakfast at Hollywood and Vine
  4. Breakfast at Crystal Palace

Low lights:

  1. Epcot
  2. We had LL passes but rides kept breaking down. We wasted a few.

We had a fun trip! (I guess that I excepted magical moments/perfection and encountered rides that go down and there are lots of cash grabs.) I think if we didn’t end with 3 down rides this review would be more magical.

WDW is clean and I really appreciate it!

Keeping tray fresh

Hello! I’m on tray 21/28. I did a weekly change until tray 18 and am now on a 10 day change. (my front two teeth are damaged. softball accident from 40 years ago). I moved as my from two teeth move a slight bit and this worried my doctor.

So my question… how do you keep your trays fresh? Mine get rather gross at the 8 day mark. I have an ultra sonic cleaning pod that I use 2-3x per day. any other tips?

Checking In Question...

Haven't flown SWA since before the changes. We are scheduled to fly next week. Husband and I have seats together. I booked basic for me using points. When should I check us all in for the flights? I read somewhere that it was 48 hours before now BUT I looked it up online and it still says 24 hours before for check in. Thoughts/tips?

Reservation STILL Missing

I made a reservation on May 19th for a property that was changing value. Going from cat 4 to cat 5. We LOVE this property. After 24 hours my reservation disappeared BUT the points are still missing from my account. My account activity does show this and the name of the hotel. I have literally been waiting on a tech team to figure this out! I'm annoyed and they don't seemed bothered. I work in computing. Who changes a system at 9am on Tuesday AND isn't prepared for the crash?

Lost Reservation!

I think that Hyatt's website is breaking! I made a reservation this morning with points. Now the reservation is missing BUT so are my points. Currently... on hold. Grrr.

update… I talked to someone at customer service and they see the reservation on their end. I spoke with Tashawna and she was lovely!

Hey, folks! I just started tray 17 out of 28. My doctor is moving me to every week change to every 10 days. She said that some of my teeth are wiggly and it will help with bone health. I do wear my aligners for 20 - 22 hours per day per their orders.

Anyone else have this experience?

(I totally trust my doctor and her team. Just looking for the experiences of others.)
