New Hotel Room Finder: Testing Opportunity

@len

I’m going to see if I can scale that down.

It’s doing that on the Pet Friendly room choice, too.

Sports looks good now! (I’ve only focused on that since my upcoming stay is there.)

I hate myself for using this icon.

[SirGreggLadyV]

Change it to a cat or dog, although they say it’s pet friendly, but what they really mean is dog friendly.

Thanks Mike! Your subscription now runs through the end of the decade.

Both of these issues will be addressed in the next update, and I’ll post here when that’s done.

Let me know what you think about the proposal around post 172 to hide any filter whose only choice is “Any”.

Much appreciated

The hiding of options with no choices available sounds good to me! I don’t know if it’s possible, but those options becoming greyed out would probably work too.

This is a really good upgrade to an already fantastic tool! Aside from the forums and wait times, this is the most used features for me and I use it prior to every booking

Good morning to all of you!

I’m recording a Disney Dish with Jim at 11, and my morning will be finishing up that script.

My goals for today are to fix:

• The change in drop-down font-size once the first filter is changed
• The eye icon size
• Maybe hide or disable any filter for which the only choice is “Any”

The most serious issue that remains is @mcalligan’s post #124 in which the “back” button exhibits some weird behavior. I saw something similar once in our own testing and it took a day to fix that. I’ll work on that starting tomorrow.

It was easier to create the floor-by-floor and building-by-building maps if the relative position of the buildings was the same.

For example, the shape of the buildings at the values and moderates are very similar, so re-using the templates saved us a ton of time.

As it was, the initial version of the room finder took more than a year to get done.

They aren’t wrong. People don’t have cats as pets. Cats have people as pets.

[lizzieanne771]

Dogs have people.

Cats have staff.

AKL Jambo fresh start
There are NO filters, text at the top says “1,188 rooms match your filters”
Hovering over each building I get a total 1,900 rooms
Kudu Trail 569
Zebra Trail 567
Ostrich Trail 315
Giraffe Trail 320
Lobby 129

I wonder if that’s us counting the 2BR-lockoffs two different ways. I’ll look at it. Thanks!

I just tested Pop Century. I searched for a standard queen room, 3 minutes to transportation, to see if it would show the rooms on the back side of building 4, close to the skyliner. Results showed only buildings 3 and 6 with this search.

Just making sure this one didn’t get buried.

@ryan1

Cats have people as pets.

I forgot.

@lizzieanne771

Cats have staff.

So true.

The icon library we licensed has these, which I’m going to use (enlarged here for easier viewing)

I’ll put these in the next release, which should be tomorrow.

[len]

@SirGreggLadyV This is fixed in the next release.

The ironic thing is that for this specific field, I wrote myself a comment saying “This one drop-down can be re-rendered dynamically in this other piece of code, so if you change it here, change it there too.” Guess who didn’t read their own advice?

Guess who didn’t read their own advice?

It couldn’t have been you, surely? 🫎

[tiggerpal]

Wow thank you! Been loving playing with the new filters!

I see this as bring your own suitcase.

[ryan1]

Either that or a ride in a cable car?

I primarily looked at the DVC resorts. Great Job! I really like the dynamic filters and the back links. Much better than the old one. I will dig in deeper to the descriptions, but the navigation, and UX are spot on.
