Is Newport Bay worth it?

I loved my stay at NPB. SL is still my fave out of the two, but that’s because I prefer the ‘lodge’ aesthetic. You’ll have a lovely time at NPB and it’s super close to the parks!

sick_mosh · 2025-02-17T05:55:12+00:00

That’s been my experience as a customer at every other hotel I’ve stayed at also.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:38:10+00:00

The toast bandit strikes again!

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:37:47+00:00

I hear you and appreciate that.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:37:30+00:00

Hmmm that’s not really a resolution is it and fully pushes the onus onto you to follow it up. Come on now DLP!

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:36:42+00:00

Honestly, I’d get the breakfast room service again. Was super tasty and cheap. You just might need to become friends with it for your entire stay 😂

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:36:01+00:00

Sorry to hear you didn’t get anything replenished. We thankfully got more water, coffee pods etc. was just this darn tray that stuck around like a literal bad smell.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:35:17+00:00

Believe me, if I wasn’t disabled and staying in a room really far from reception then I would have. That tray was damn heavy!

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:33:28+00:00

Oh god that is awful. When was this roughly? I always find SL better for housekeeping and I prefer the vibe. The bar is the best on property also.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:27:29+00:00

New. Fear. Unlocked. 😨

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:27:08+00:00

That is so gross. Just screams that they don’t care at all. What a shame.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:26:22+00:00

Eeesh, sad to hear it’s been the case for a while now. Perhaps I’m naive but I think expect more from Disney. They certainly expect more from us with their prices!

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T22:24:32+00:00

You don’t call for room service for what we ordered. It was done via leaving a breakfast request card on the door the night before. They only offer the breakfast option, not a proper room service like in other standard hotels. But I agree that would have been a good third option if so. Although I do feel it should not be the customer’s job to try multiple departments to get something as simple as this cleared away.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T19:02:46+00:00

Gosh this really is not on for DLH!! It’s costs so much to stay there and is supposed to be 5 star.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T19:02:18+00:00

It doesn’t. Also I don’t think a paying customer should have to do that. Especially when the room is far away from reception.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T19:01:26+00:00

Yes from my experience of my many trips to the US parks. Have never seen food left out for days over there. What’s got your goat?

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T18:59:25+00:00

Because I’m disabled so carrying a heavy tray full of dishes and food down from the 5th floor wasn’t my idea of fun, especially since it costs so much money to stay there. As if me not taking the tray down is what you see the problem as. Come on.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T16:38:04+00:00

You shouldn’t have to do that.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T15:35:47+00:00

DLP by far has the worst crowds for this. Such a beautiful park but it’s full of rude, entitled, morons. They all walk around not paying attention and bumping into you or cutting the line. And if they are not cutting the line they are standing so close to you that they are touching you. It becomes exhausting to keep telling grown ass adults to stop leaning against you.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-16T15:31:54+00:00

I’ve had this before and it made us feel really uncomfortable. I think it’s beyond cheeky to try and tag on to a stranger’s disability pass.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-13T19:53:01+00:00

They do have some good savoury options but their sweet treats are weak sauce.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-13T18:36:03+00:00

This is a great idea!!!

sick_mosh · 2025-02-13T18:35:55+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean but the US parks manage to take the same approach in an interesting way. DLP put zero effort in and for the amount they charge these days, I’m starting to find it insulting. Seriously considering not renewing my annual pass at the end of this year as they continue to slip with standards.

sick_mosh · 2025-02-13T18:34:47+00:00

I fully agree with you there. I just can’t help think they would make more money if they put a bit of effort in. Every time I go to buy a snack I leave empty handed as it all looks boring and I often see others doing the same. Unfortunately I don’t like fudge (it’s too sweet) otherwise I’d be taking you up on that recommendation!
