I am mourning the closure of our private entrance. It was THE BEST.
If there is any possible rumor it is coming back, please let me know...
I am also sad that the terrace is going away....

So sad, nothing beats walking out and getting in DCA within a couple of minutes.

I was able to use it for about 4-5 trips but ignorance is bliss. Not going for abt 2 years from my last trip and I wish I didnβt find out until I arrived so I could have kept the bummed feeling to a minimum. Ah well, maybe Iβll sell at some point and it wonβt matter. (Blasphemy, I know)

We only ever used it a couple times. But it was nice, especially as an exit to get back to our room for breaks.

Got a survey after our stay and they asked why I said the stay was Very Good instead of Excellent:
1) No early entry
2) Closing Pixar Pier entrance
3) Understaffed housekeeping
