    Best Uber pick up/drop off spots

    Im aware of the drop off area. It’s very close in front. What I meant is that Uber rates can change drastically according to where you're dropped off or picked up from. So was curious if anyone knows if it’s true for DL. Is there a better place to go that’s less expensive in that general area is...

    Best Uber pick up/drop off spots

    Looking for best Uber drop off spots from John Wayne to DLand that might be less costly than directly to front gates. Is that even an extra cost? Last time we rented a car and we aren't very Uber savvy. Just trying to avoid any extra $$$ they sometimes charge when going directly to a major...

    PORTOFINO BAY HOTEL INFO...FAQ`s and more.......

    We brought a deluxe twin air bed last year to our 2 Q standard rm with no issues. We kept it at the foot of the bed across from the connecting door. We just left it up. The room is a nice size and with CL, it may be even bigger.

    How disruptive is construction at a hotel?

    Yes, I’ll try to remember to post. I have past experience with Disney doing this at our resorts a few times and it wasn't too bad.

    How disruptive is construction at a hotel?

    While not thrilled about it, it didn’t stop me from booking there again for this summer. I’m just gonna assume it‘ll be ok. As long as pools are open I think we’re good. I’m trying to stay positive and hope they‘ll make things right if anything truly unacceptable happens (whatever that may be…) ;)

    NEW for 2024 - Disney Dining Plans Returning, Exciting Park Reservation Updates, and More

    I have no experience using the voucher since it’s rather new. I have’t been there since 2020 and at that time DDP and the vouchers were not in effect. However, from what I’ve read I believe it’s one voucher per room and once it’s done, it’s done. The dining plan has a set amount of meals and...

    Balconies at Portofino Bay

    I wondered about that. At first glance, those rooms look great, but I don’t like how most of them don’t have a barrier to keep strangers out. I wound never dream of sitting on someone else’s patio, but not surprised it happens.

    You just solidified my decision to not bother asking.

    Disney's ALL-STAR MUSIC RESORT Information & Questions

    The closest standard buildings are in the Jazz section (2 & 9). Both times there we booked preferred (Calypso 1 & 10), but once we had an issue with our room so they moved us to a corner room in building 9. It was actually a great location. To be honest, I wouldn't want the farthest building if...

    Is Hagrids open for EE?

    That may have been when Hagrigs had the virtual queue. I seem to remember not being able to scan in until a certain time.

    I agree. I’m sure it’s going away once the DDP starts back up.

    In my past experiences, everyone on the same package had to get it.

    NEW for 2024 - Disney Dining Plans Returning, Exciting Park Reservation Updates, and More

    They didnt have the dining credit option when they had the dining plan (pre covid). The dining credit thing is what morphed afterward and is still fairly new. So this is something that I think only Disney can answer for you.

    Thank you. That‘s what I was hoping to hear.

    Big Fire or Mama Della?

    This made me chuckle because you summed up our exact experience with the singers. We liked them, but a whole lot more from across the room ;) Also when asked if we had any requests, I gave them two fairly popular Italian songs and they didn't know either :confused3 Had to default to Sinatra…...

    Split Stay luggage transfer

    Does Universal transport luggage between resorts? Specifically, Hard Rock or Royal Pacific to either Sapphire Falls or Aventura.

    Does 18 year old need ID?

    No, under normal circumstances they will not. I suppose you could have a pic of it saved to your phone if you're concerned with losing it or not wanting to bring.

    Car break in's?

    The self parking at Portofino is in an underground parking garage. The ramp that leads down has a few spaces which are open and uncovered. We parked there for a week with no issues, including check-out day with all our stuff loaded. Of course theft can happen anywhere, but the location of their...
