what an amazing resort! I'm staying there for the first time in January and can't wait. Your view was amazing!!!!! And what a special treat to be upgraded!

When we suddenly found ourselves at Contemporary with a teenager named n a wheelchair, it was hard to navigate. Now I realize we should have asked to transfer to an accessible room to finish out our trip. Bathrooms were particularly hard and this would have been a perfect set-up, if available.

Oh you lived my dream stay. Someday I will stay at Rivera on a trip.

Abby Cox did an excellent video "How hot are Victorian Corsets and Clothes" where they measure how hot various fabrics are. Spoiler that the wool fabric was the coolest. I'm a knitter and love all the love that wool is getting lately.

Hi Jen! We just recently became DVC members, and I wanted to let you know that your DVC vlogs were a big part of my research (I think I watched all your DVC vlogs), then led me to looking at resale contracts! I had no idea resale contract was a thing until during the pandemic when I found your channel. You were very honest about how you felt about DVC at the time with all the uncertainty. When you sold your contract, that's when I learned about the ROFR monster...then I was even more intrigued and continued to dig more. I have said it before and will say it again, I like your honest opinion but without ruining the magic! So THANK YOU JEN for being you, for providing your followers/viewers with great information and honest opinion! (and fun vlogs! 😄Love the ones with you and Adam!) We can't wait for our first stay as members! We didn't buy direct, so I called us 2nd class citizen members...since we don't get all the perks! But hey that's okay because we are still staying at the same resorts that we love! We saved tens and thousands of dollars! I would have to buy a few thousand spirit jerseys to make that merch discount worth it! LOL! And that upgrade...LOVE! 😍

I stayed in a Riv 2-bedroom a few weeks ago. It was beautiful! Every detail is perfect, from the Disney style toile de jouy banquette, the verre eglomise mirrors and the intricate scrollwork. You're so lucky to not only get an upgrade, but to get a high floor. I got ground level, but it turned out to be convenient for unloading my car and very close to the Beau Soleil pool. Riviera is one of my home resorts and my favorite overall. Glad you had a great time.

Thank you for your comments about not taking the room from someone who needed it. We have a family member who needs an accessible hotel room, cabin on ship, etc. Disney overall does a good job with accessibility, but with all hotels, we have learned to be VERY specific about our needs. For instance, on one WDW trip, I stated "fully accessible, must have walk in shower when I made the reservation." On check in, the room was not ready, and the CM at the desk said it had a "roll in bathroom." I asked what exactly that was, and she didn't know. We went about our day, then returned to find that the bathroom door was wide enough to admit a wheelchair, but the only shower was inside the tub....and that won't work for us. Back to the desk where a lovely college program CM spent about an hour on the phone locating a room with a walk in shower in another resort, arranging to have us moved over there, etc. We did laugh as when we arrived at the new, much nicer resort, the carpet was wet as if it had just been shampooed. No worries, it all worked out. Bottom line, they never know when they will need an accessible room....in this case due to their own mistake. Hope you enjoy things.

@JenLefforge

10 ай бұрын

My understanding (from Disney) is until all guests that have requested ANY kind of accessible room have been accommodated, Disney won't release ANY of the rooms to cover exactly the situation you experienced.

@Imaginary.Lemons

10 ай бұрын

I'm sorry you had that experience on your last trip, but I'm so glad to hear they made it right. Disney has four types of accessible rooms. Next time you might want to ask for "Wheelchair accessible with a roll-in shower." That's the terminology they use, and that's what would be familiar with the cast members. Of course, we'd be happy to help you prep for your next trip. But Disney does there best to make sure that people are taken care of, even if it means upgrading the type of room booked. But when they have rooms empty, they will often assign them to small parties, with one or two travelers, since that's less disruptive then reassigning a family with kids. That's why someone like Jen who travels alone or with one other person is so much more likely to end up reassigned to an accessible room.

@kathryncashner3294

@@Imaginary.Lemons Thanks....and you are right that each place has their own terminology. That's why I always specify exactly what she needs when I make a reservation. Small hotels are actually the most difficult as the ADA requirements are based on size of the facility and when it was last remodeled.
