What's funny is I literally made a very similar video a couple of years ago, and I ALSO recommend Holiday Inn across the road... it was brilliant there haha. Nice video :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmWTiayYermIn9E

[@DanielleWarren]

Great hotel tour and overview! I experienced those bugs while there as well. The thin walls is such a bummer. I have had an experience like that that really ruined an entire night of sleep. Luckily when I was at the Wyndham (also on a solo trip) for 3 nights it was quiet (or maybe no one was in the room next to me at the time.) Thanks for the great review! Honesty is always best!❤️😉

[@MagicalHijinx]

Thank you Danielle! Thank you for sharing your experience, especially letting me know that you had bugs too so it wasn’t an isolated incident.

[@ericagutierrez4997]

Wow thank you sharing this ! And am so sorry about happened

[@MagicalHijinx]

Thanks hun!

[@CoasterFoxBradB]

😢😢😢I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It makes me sad because I can feel and hear in your voice how upset you are. So disappointing when you're trying to have a good time and it becomes a traumatizing experience.

[@MagicalHijinx]

It was truly terrifying as a woman alone at 2am. It was the worst night I ever experienced while traveling.

[@rebeccaignuta9027]

Thank you for clarifying for me why I will never stay there :)

[@MagicalHijinx]

Glad I can help!

[@janeensharbono9715]

It's very sad that you had a bad experience there. I'm a local and I do stay there often but I've only stayed in the tower. I've never had a horrible experience at all there. In fact I love their rooms and I think their beds are very comfortable. I usually find a pretty good rate when I stay there as well. I love the tower because you have great views of either Disney Springs or the lake views. Thanks for showing us your experience there.

[@MagicalHijinx]

I don’t think it would have been so bad if the 2am incident didn’t happen tho the gnats were definitely something that would stop me from returning. And people have messaged me that they have had gnats too.

[@bridgechick0072]

My daughter and I stayed there a couple of years ago and we had problems also. We stayed in the Garden Sunset area. The keycard they gave me at check in did not work. When I returned to the check in desk, the clerk was very rude and told me I probably put it in my wallet near the magnet. I did not, it was in my hand the whole time. Just to note, the people in the room 2 doors down from us also had a bad keycard. The 2nd key card did work. Our room door was also bent and hard to open and close as if someone tried to break into it before. We did not have a bug problem and I do agree that the pool area is the best part of the hotel. We ate at the pool bar and the food was good.

[@MagicalHijinx]

It’s wild to me that staff at hotel (especially on Disney property) could be so rude

[@QueenCheetah]

Gee, between the time-share pushing, the paper-thin walls, and the bugs... hmm, I think I'll stay somewhere else for a relaxing vacation! Thanks for the head's-up!

[@MagicalHijinx]

Absolutely!

[@bediliarodriguez9632]

Great video as always. Wow the neighbors sound are so loud! The hotel seems ok but not the experience I would like to have at WDW. I know someone that stayed there and didn't like it at all. Complained about the beds. Thank you for sharing this with us. You're a gem. I hope you had some fun activities after recording this.

[@MagicalHijinx]

Just went on to film more for the channel! But thank you, so appreciate it ❤️

[@justinwoodward3413]

I stay across the highway at holiday inn and never have issues. 40 min walk to Disney springs.

[@sistersisterchannel2058]

I’m so sorry you had this experience here !! I stayed here and absolutely loved it but I did stay in a tower room . I think the tower room is a little more “hotel style” while the garden rooms are a bit more “motel style”

[@MagicalHijinx]

I don’t mind motel style. The all stars are motel style. Holiday inn has garden rooms. This was totally different. And mostly of the 2am situation.

[@netty1221]

But that's a shame they make the less paying guests suffer 🥴 its still hard earned money

[@sistersisterchannel2058]

Yes ! I can’t believe at 2 am they did that . Especially if when they came to your room they didn’t hear any crazy amount of noise !

[@sistersisterchannel2058]

I think that goes for any hotel . You pay less you get not as nice accommodations. For more money the tower rooms give you a view , nice hallways off the elevator entering the room , and a little more of a fancy feel . For a cheaper price you still get a room but no view , less elevators as you seen , and a little less on the accommodations . With hotels it’s always a matter of you get what you pay for.

[@gabyhernandez7229]

Thank you so much for such a thorough tour of the Hotel and for your honest review. I am so sorry you had this experience.

[@MagicalHijinx]

Thank you so much!

[@spiritedreviewexc]

you should have taken the clip to the same security guard that banged on your door. I love how honest you are and not fake like some people are.

[@MagicalHijinx]

I don’t think it would have mattered and honestly I just wanted to get out of there. And thank you 💜

[@spiritedreviewexc]

@@MagicalHijinx I know, but you shouldn't have had to deal with that. I had bad stays at conventions in the morning where the kids were legit screaming their heads off....ok like once and we were on the "quiet floor" and the night before i legit got "yelled at" because "i was talking to loud" and i was just talking at my normal voice. that's Boston for you though, i haven't been back since. >.>

[@lindseyhorvath3122]

As far as the buses go, the Saratoga springs buses are about a 5 minute walk so that would be a better option than taking a Disney springs bus to another resort!

[@MagicalHijinx]

That’s a great idea too!

[@Parkhopper1985]

I got this hotel during Covid on Priceline for $40/night. It's super close to Disney Springs (closer than Saratoga Springs) and it 'worked' - I had a bed, shower and coffee maker.

[@MagicalHijinx]

Yes there are definitely reasons to stay here, especially if the price is right.

[@erikaorellana225]

Ty do much for this review i was about to book but now im reconsidering

[@MagicalHijinx]

Happy to help!

[@lcpdwife2009]

We're staying there this week. I'll be sure to bring my sound machine when we sleep. Sorry you went thru that.

[@MagicalHijinx]

Thank you. Be safe.

[@dazzlingdizney9335]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@MagicalHijinx]

Happy to help!

[@PennieDeeStudio]

The banging on the door at 2am wouldve terrified me as a fellow solo female traveler!! I would not have opened the door! I am so sorry that happened to you!!

[@MagicalHijinx]

I wasn’t in my right mind and I regret it. Especially because I found out something similar happened to someone in the area and it was a human trafficking thing. 🥺

[@ohanao5600]

Sorry about your experience. It sounds like even though the garden rooms were upgraded, they obviously didn't improve the soundproofing. The tower is definitely much better, a totally different experience. Depending on when you stay, the price points can be identical or only a few dollars more so it is definitely worth trying the tower for the convenience of the resort to Disney Springs. I've stayed there several times and I will be staying there again next week and renting a cabana for a pool day with the ladies. By the way it's $150 in food and drinks then it's free.

[@MagicalHijinx]

That’s great to know! Thanks!

[@tamara8349]

I would be scared to death if someone banged on my door like that in the middle of the night. Definitely would never stay there!

[@MagicalHijinx]

Truly terrifying, especially as a woman alone.

[@netty1221]

God forbid a couple is intimate...u and the family would have to hear that? Would security come banging on the door in that case too? Omg a nightmare

[@mr3strands]

Sounds like one to avoid! I appreciate your candor and openness!

[@MagicalHijinx]

Always!

[@saxpoobielex7769]

Sooo does every hotel serve breakfast this late with early park admission? That's frustrating.

[@TheSmithAdventures1008]

Thank you for giving your honest opinion of your experience while you were here. I was thinking about doing this or staying at one of the all-stars resort. Also I love your sunflower dress!!

[@MagicalHijinx]

I love the all stars. I’ve covered all of them on the channel and they’re great! And thank you!

[@christinar7900]

I always request no connecting room for security and sound proofing. For the most part the request is honored and it usually helps with noise. I also find bugs can be an issue with exterior doors. I remember having an issue if I wasn’t careful when opening the door at night during my stay at Disney’s Caribbean Beach.

[@MagicalHijinx]

I haven’t had any issues with bugs with any other hotels with exterior doors, including across at Holiday Inn. I wasn’t going to make any special requests for the purposes of the video. It’s important for everyone to know the reality of the rooms.

[@diamondrose6520]

I love the detail dedication and work that you put in all of your videos. How they going to report you and then make more noise than you. People selfish sometimes. I don't like adjoining rooms either that happened to me too. I could hear everything. Smh.

[@MagicalHijinx]

Because they were just existing. The walls are just that thin! It’s really bad!

[@FletchyMcFletch]

Thanks AGAIN for this review (and PSA).

[@MagicalHijinx]

You bet!

[@gmkarliah6528]

Pretty much all the "resorts' in the area pitch time shares all the time it feels like. Can't believe they banged on your door like that. I will never stay there either, yikes on those thin walls. Thank you for the video!

[@MagicalHijinx]

Absolutely not. I have stayed at every Disney springs hotel, some multiple times, and this is the only one that does this.

[@gmkarliah6528]

@@MagicalHijinx Oh interesting. I was looking into Floridays and one of the biggest complaints was that they do this. I just kinda assumed it was standard at the non disney hotels.

[@netty1221]

Wooow the NY in me just got pissed! I would never stay here (wasn't considering anyway) but I feel for you I cant believe u went through that! My friend has timeshare thru them and stays there when in WDW. I never asked if they like their stay but this turned me all the way off. I booked a stay at the Swan in the fall will be my first time at a Non Disney run resort.

[@MagicalHijinx]

I’m also a NYer! I will say if you want a more fun vibe you’re better off at the Dolphin. The Swan is very quiet, while the Dolphin has so much! Here is the tour of both! Swan Tour - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ-cpWuQgs6GjLc Dolphin Tour - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKCpaZ2HrLNkftk

[@netty1221]

@@MagicalHijinx thanks so much for the response. I actually cancelled Beach Club bc when Disney offered the 20% off (Disney+ subscribers) they didn't include this resort only Yacht club and there were no rooms left for that. I didnt wana pay rack rate lol. The Swan was the only good choice to switch to bc it was around 1000 less. The Dolphin for my stay dates were unavailable so im not even mad I cant wait to try Swan. I always stay at POP but need deluxe resort hours!! Lol I definately loved ur tour of Swan n Dolphin I already watched several times ☺ they were great tours i appreciate it!!

[@NoBSEateries]

Oh gosh! It was like they were in the room with you! Appreciate your honesty! -S

[@MagicalHijinx]

It was crazy! And of course! Always will be honest!

[@kezw6554]

That's just horrible, you should let a Manager know at the front desk and depending on how they handle it, you may need to call there Corporate office to make a complaint and they will handle it. Hopefully it doesn't need to go that far and they'll be able to address what happened because those are some big problems.

[@MagicalHijinx]

Thanks!

[@chrishintz1077]

If it’s any consolation, I’ve heard that the walls of the grand Floridian are also too thin. I don’t know if they have ever fixed this problem. So file this under it could have been even worse (or at least, way more expensive).

[@MagicalHijinx]

I’ve heard that too!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Nice video Demi! Stinks to hear that you had a bad experience. I do not like the co-joining rooms either, just for that reason alone if the walls are too thin and you can hear people next door. I really hope when you left and if they asked you if you had a nice stay you told them at the front desk what happened and how you felt.

[@MagicalHijinx]

Thanks Nick!

[@blueskys8876]

Hello my new friend, I must say I don't know how I found your channel but I'm glad I did this is the second video I've watched this morning while putting on my makeup, the first one I watched was the Hilton and from the title of this one I had to watch and I'm glad I did first of all I would never ever stay at the Wyndham not only in Florida but anywhere after your experience which was appalling to be at a hotel by yourself and the wee hours of the morning and have somebody pounding at your door I myself wouldn't have answered it they would have had to send the Florida police and only then what I open my door I would like to know did you make a complaint to the hotel about this and if so what did they do about it, I hope someone from the hotel reads my comment because I will never ever stay at one of their hotels anywhere the Wyndham after what happened to you I had chills on my arms after listening to you I could imagine how scary that was. It was totally uncalled for. On a better note you have a fabulous channel and I am now subscribed thank you for your honest review 10 star ⭐ ps oh and the bug situation there is no way I would have been able to stay in that room I hate bugs and when you're spending good money you don't expect to have bugs of any kind in your room

[@MagicalHijinx]

Aw thank you so much for your kind words! I actually just wanted to get out of there. Plus I was scheduled to film other things that day. The Wyndham PR team saw this video and reached out to me and apologized.

[@k4hdr5]

These resorts are hard, because you are near so much, but you could get a room at Yacht club and Beach Club that is so so far from just a basic door or cup of coffee, that you question your decision.

[@kayel4487]

Thanks for your honesty! What a terrible experience. I would have been done with them with the gnats alone...

[@MagicalHijinx]

Literally disgusting. I killed them like on the pillows. I had to change beds! I forgot to mention that!

[@Hicks-g1m]

Ouch I'm so sorry Demi if I was in your position there I would feel the same way scary they should give you you're money back I hope you have a better experience next time you stay somewhere anyway thanks for showing and reporting back to us on this place

[@MagicalHijinx]

Thank you so much!

[@Hicks-g1m]

@@MagicalHijinx Your welcome 👍

[@Amy_V]

I don’t blame you at all. Banging on the door like that in the middle of the night is not cool. Why couldn’t you be called from the front desk first? Warn you at least that someone was going to come to your door or give you the opportunity to say.. I didn’t know I was making noise, I’ll turn off my phone. I would never return either. Also that is hella loud in the morning being able to fully hear the entire conversation of the room beside. No way. What if I got a snorer next door. I wouldn’t be able to sleep! 😂 hard pass just for that.

[@MagicalHijinx]

Hahaha!!!

[@gerardicosas]

I LOVE THIS HOTEL.

[@myhybrid09]

The Former Grovesnor Hotel. I remember my parents wanted a change from the Buena Vista Palace (bad mistake that I still brought up to this day). Wasn't impressed. I just booked our first Disney trip with my own kids and guess where we are going???? BUENA Vista Palace!!! 😀

[@dee9292]

Those people that you heard. Must of heard your phone .

I've had a good experience one time at a WYNDHAM property. I just watched to see what your experience at this property was. I'm sorry yours was so disappointing. I won't book a Wyndham, though I have had good luck with other Marriot properties

[@MagicalHijinx]

I like Marriott but they’re expensive for what you get most of the time.

[@ShareaDreamComeTrue]

Dang, why do those people not like Gilmore Girls? Rude. Your introduction was very clear and your hair was blowing all around, so the audio in this video was most impressive, I did not hear any wind. Good microphone!

[@giabarletta5929]

What an awful experience!! Especially for what they charge. Back in the day I’d stay there bc I could get a room for $99 a night, but no way worth it now!

[@ticketyboo6435]

If you could hear them they could probably hear your Gilmore Girls at 2am which has probably annoyed them as it would me

[@MagicalHijinx]

Absolutely they heard it, which is why this whole thing happened. But it was so low, that’s why it’s insane that they were able to hear it.

[@LizzieMcT]

That is crazy because I almost booked a room there but the Priceline reviews were terrible

[@MagicalHijinx]

I have heard the tower rooms are better but as I said, I don’t know if it’s worth it at that cost

[@flamingodiego]

How scary. This is a hotel that doesn't interest me at all. Sorry your experience was awful

[@MagicalHijinx]

Thank you

[@Kodachrome40]

A trip to Disney World sounds horrible. There’s so much preplanning and a lot more complications when you get there. It really isn’t a relaxing vacation.

[@MagicalHijinx]

It’s a lot of work. Which is why I create all these videos to help people plan!

[@drea1521]

Maybe your phone was loud. It was 2 am and no one wants to hear your noise.

[@MagicalHijinx]

I guarantee you it wasn’t loud. And as you heard you can clearly hear the people next door. The walls are paper thin. And that doesn’t give their staff an excuse to bang on my door at 2am, instead of call.

[@jeremiahnewman189]

Seem a little over dramatic your probably lying about what volume your phone was on. I dealt with people like u before at work

[@MagicalHijinx]

Why would I lie? And why wouldn’t they have just called instead of banging on my door like I was a criminal. I was a woman alone and someone banged on my door at 2am. It was one of the scariest moments of my life. I showed you actual proof of clearly hearing my neighbors in the morning and they were just talking normally. The walls are paper thin, the staff is rude, the room is gross with gnats. It SEEMS like you’re being sexist calling me dramatic, this was my experience and my truth.

[@kevingriner7849]
