thanks for the wonderful report! Really enjoyed following along.

Thank you!

Thanks so much! Looks like a great spot!

We used to stay in Tokelau before it became DVC and yep could hear the ferry horn, but as you said...slept right through it. Great reports so far!! I'd love to hear about any fairly quiet sunning spots you find/see on Wonder. We loved, loved, loved the open air front deck of the Solarium on Oasis and that was pretty much our spot for the week. I know Wonder, and Utopia, have closed Solariums which is disappointing to me. Probably a great spot in the evening or if we need a break from the sun, but I'd like to find a similar quiet space when I want sun. Love kids, but we're empty nesters now and I like to read my book without them running all over lol

Following along because we'll be on Utopia and I've heard Wonder is the closest. Your Poly pics are a pleasant surprise. Our favorite Disney resort! We first went in 2007 for a once-in-a-long-time splurge. Well we fell in love and returned in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2018! Been too long now, time for a return trip

I agree. There will be 4 of us, so a flat $100 seems like a fair amount to check it out. Just checked and on the 3 day, we are currently the only ship scheduled to be there. So maybe that $45 will drop a bit.

Thanks for the review! We're doing a B2B on Utopia in September and considering doing Hideaway for 1 of our CoCoCay stops. Your description of sipping a drink from the swim-up bar at the pool wall overlooking the ocean...has about pushed me over the edge. Hopefully the prices drop. Currently at $45 for the 3 day and $75 for the 4 day.

No experience with Allure but last May we booked "connecting interior" cabins on deck 9. Our kids are adults so we didn't need the connecting door really but the square footage was more for these so that's what we booked. We were very pleasantly surprised by the window and window seat! They were not classed as having any sort of view and the images on the website did not show any window. I *think* we were in 9199 and 9201, but that could be wrong...and again, Oasis not Allure but I'm betting this is the same situation.

Cove beach does not have a charge. There are no amenities there other than chairs and umbrellas. You may be thinking of the Beach Club or Hideaway Beach.

Yes, what Mike said...they are the same beach essentially. Cove beach is just at the far end. Most people don't walk that far so it's very quiet. That's what we like about it. But it is a further walk for food, drinks and bathrooms. So it depends on what you want.

Cove Beach!!

Trying again!

Darn, didn't work. I will have to try again later, need to get back to work

Sharing a few photos from the Cove Beach area, hope this works: 485543CA-94EC-4B4A-98EC-82A7BAD1FFD2.heic A05296FD-779B-4F1A-A63C-76360BDB899D.heic 2ABDC82A-62B3-40BA-AD2E-17A057BDEB82.heic D38A2F60-41C6-4516-A4D6-1C9B6C11D9F6.heic 3B5748EB-BDCB-400D-82CB-9307AC9F2795.heic

I can't tell if this is the same beach or not. sort of looks like it but the way it's edited before, I can't tell where they walked from to reach it. Cove seemed more isolated. can't speak to the past but in May it was definitely not.
