that swa snack box for a 5 hr flight wasn't enough, next time I will make sure to hit the food court.

It certainly isn't a full meal. I was fine having had a big breakfast that morning, but was certainly hungry by the time we got to SAN. I wouldn't kill me to miss a few meals though.

Edit: I might take that back. Where are we talking? I didn't realize there was an area between the Chapel wing and the Napua tower.

If my ground floor room was right across from the pool, that would be great. But here they are not. Although that's pretty nice furniture - I don't recall our balcony furniture being padded like that, maybe I just don't remember.
Can you go inside the Chapel?

Chapel wing is pretty close to the adult pool. Lagoon wing rooms are really close to the main pool/lazy river, no ocean view on the ground floor though.

I was in a ground floor Chapel room a few weeks ago and had an ocean view. It’s nothing like the 8th floor room I had on my previous stay, but you can still see plenty of ocean. I preferred the proximity of the chapel room to the lobby, pools, and gym. However, I did miss my mornings and evenings staring at the ocean, whale spotting that is afforded when you are higher up.

Any word on when the renovation work in the lobby will be finished? I was here last Oct, and have another stay this Oct. Surely it will be finished by then?

The walls are down and they were working on the fountains when I was there a couple weeks ago. I’m not sure what their scope is, but with the walls coming down it should be a good sign that things are wrapping up.

using parent's reservation and wristbands
My and my brother's family are planning to arrive in early May (total 8 people across two rooms), but rooms are booked using FNCs on free nights in our parent's names. Any issue checking in "first" or should we just get our parent's ids and pretend to be them? Do they still apply wristbands at checkin.
I know the checkin is pretty relaxed, but since there are 8 of us outside of the two parents who are not arriving, if they are strict on wristbands the "parents checking in later" might not work.
