Nope- 1 night here, check in Helios tomoro for 2 nights- too expensive to do 3!
Then PBH 7 nights- 3 days are a conference for me, then wdw, then Wish.

Need to set up TPs to work out time frame for next 2 days without pushing dmil too hard- she fell in garden last week so is sore & slower than DH & his hip.

Moved over, dropped bags, hot coffee in Helios lobby all easily. Very straight forward down the path to the rope. Stunning hotel! We may not be best parameter for RD strategy as in-laws are not walking quick after dmil fall last week. DH can motor w stick

Had a nice chill few hours at the oool, dinner was good. But they can't put the music into the Helios rooms for the "fountain" show yet. So we watched from lobby level- it's just lights thru the park & fountains back by carousel currently so a bit meh.
