    Alternate way driving from Long Island to Disney?

    We’ll be making our annual drive from Long Island to Disney this weekend. We are planning on leaving at 4 am Saturday and driving straight through. We always go the 95 route, but the last few times we always seem to hit traffic in Virginia. I’ve heard people mention a way to bypass the state...

    Visiting hotel while staying off property

    Hi, we’ll be visiting Universal next month. We have always for the last 20 years exclusively gone to Disney and stayed on property. We were thinking maybe one night of driving over to one of the hotels to grab some quick service or tableservice food. Has Covid changed anything, would we be...

    Everything Park Reservations - Please Read Post 1

    Sorry if this has been discussed before. We were in Disney in August, go every year, and are heading to Universal at the end of next month for the first time. I originally had no plans of going to Disney this trip. I’m now thinking that once I am down there and so close, it’s going to be hard to...

    Portofino Bay Deluxe 2 Queen Room

    Thanks for your feedback. So instead of the shuttered windows between the bathroom and the room, it is now a solid wall? And since the tub was taken out, the wall was pushed back making the bathroom smaller and the room bigger? Sorry I’m just trying to visualize it. This will actually be our...

Is there still a shower and tub in the bathroom with the shutters? And is there a sofa bed in the queen rooms or just...

    Amazon delivery of mattress to hotel?

    We are planning our first Universal trip for the end of May. Still not sure which resort we are staying at, but regardless we need a third bed. I know we could do the rollaway, but I would rather have the convenience of an inflatable air mattress that I could deflate every morning for more room...

    Family of 5 in the EP hotels?

    We have been a strictly Disney family for the last 20 years, but my DD loves Harry Potter so we’ve decided to visit Universal for the first time this May. We’re looking at staying 3 nights, Tuesday-Friday at the end of May. I would like to stay at one of the 3 resorts that offer Express Pass. We...

    Cheap charms for bracelet?

    Hi, we’re here now. My daughter’s friend asked us to pick up a couple of the cheap charms for her bracelet. I remember Mousegears having a section of bins with tons of charms, but checked yesterday and they’re gone. Has anyone recently see those charms anywhere on property? Thanks!

    Christmas in January??

    Hi, jumping on this thread lol. Thinking of rescheduling our August trip to that same week in January. We’ve never been in January, only August and September for the last 20 years. How are the crowds normally then? Thanks!

    Keeping dates, switching from Pop to CBR, both open, will 35% still apply?

    We’re scheduled for 2 rooms at Pop 8/13-8/20, booked last year under free dining bounce back. Pop will be open for my stay. I’ll call later, but was wondering if anyone knows if the 35% off which is currently applied to ressie would apply if I switched to 2 rooms at CBR?
