    Staying at POP vs. Port Orleans RS

    Glad you picked POR. My kids have always loved it there---plus POR has a slide at the pool where as value resorts do not. The boat to DS is nice too---and to kids feels like another ride in itself. We never waited long for buses at POR and we've stayed there several times over the years. Busses...

    Laundry Yacht Club

    Don't forget it costs extra to buy detergent and dryer sheets unless you bring your own in.

    Frozen Margaritas in Epcot- have they changed?

    I got one there about three weeks ago and didn't love it. Ended up getting a daquiri in America and it had so much more flavor to it. Even the blood orange mimosa (morroco maybe?) was so much better in taste.

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    We were there three weeks ago and there were no sand pales still. They also only had homemade chips as a side, as opposed to fries. We were told their fryer doesn't work, but chicken tenders are still available. The kids were bummed about chips---and I can commiserate, they aren't great and have...

    Hoop dee Doo vs CRT

    Without all the princesses I would pick Hoop De Doo. We did HDDR in our trip we just returned from---lots of fun and laughs. I am glad that we did it. Our previous trip pre-covid we ate in the castle and that was an experience within itself. The types of food at both places are very...

    Hoop Dee Doo reservation-making

    I had the best luck booking Hoop De Doo a few months ago for our August trip by calling the Disney Dining phone number to book.

    Menu questions, I’m so confused

    We find that we come up ahead on the resort refillable mugs. DH and I both drink coffee and tea in the morning. You can fill up your mug before you leave for the parks and then we usually refill again when we get back in the afternoon. Depending on your hotel you might have access to a Coke...

    Lobby scents...50th anniversary Lobby scent?

    Was there two weeks ago and I would swear that YC, BC, Contemporary, Riveria and even the Boardwalk all had the EXACT same scents. But maybe I am the crazy one. I was just more annoyed with it because I didn't love the scent and felt like it was overpowering almost everywhere we went.

    Get me excited for the Boardwalk

    The pool at Boardwalk is so much more managable at BW compared to Stormalong Bay. I literally lost my kids two weeks ago there---they shut the slide down and I was waiting for them in the water near the end of the slide area. They couldn't find me and then went looking for me---thank goodness my...

    How long will line be for ROtR at rope drop?

    We were there last week--park open was 8:30, early entry for resort guests was 8 a.m. We got to the gate at 7:30 a.m. and stood in line there for about 15 minutes before they started letting people in. We immediately booked it (not running, but walking at a pretty fast pace) back to Star Wars to...

    Current Popcorn Bucket

    The yellow skyliner bucket was in Epcot at a few places and I also saw it in the HS stand near the Chinese Theatre last week.

    Topolino’s Terrace vs Trattoria al Forno

    I think both are great--keep in mind that Toppolinos isn't that far when you are at the boardwalk. You can hop on the skyliner back by Epcot and be to the Riveria in less than 10 minutes. That said we always have good meals at Trattoria too.

    Best restaurant to celebrate adult birthday but have a 2y/o in the group

    There are always lots of kids in Disney restaurants and I don't think anyone bats an eye. However, you just have to know your kid. Bring things to keep them occupied---I even saw parents at dinners with tablets at the table for their kids to stream shows. No judgement here---whatever you need to...

    Kids meals & Adult meals

    I don't recall ever seeing Mickey pancakes at any QS location. Adults can order kids meals at any QS locations.

    La Hacienda vs Via Napoli

    We just ate at La Hacienda last week for the first time. (I think I did eat there at some point as a kid/teen) My husband and I agreed it would go into the rotation for places to eat on future trips. Hacienda is owned by a third party and not Disney. This is worth mentioning because if your kids...

    Can't Decide - STEAK!

    We ate at the California Grill last week and both my husband and I had the filet. The three course price fixe menu was wonderful. We really enjoyed all three courses of our meal.

    Riviera Quick Service - just bad

    We just ate there last week. While I wouldn't say it was the best food I ever had--for a QS location I thought the food was tasty and good. I would consider eating there again. There were more options there than what we had at the YC where we were staying in the Marketplace which is why we...

    Favorite on property character meal for boys?

    There are not a ton of character dining options at the present time. When is your trip? How old is your son? I have two boys currently 6 and 9---they have always enjoyed Ohana Breakfast (characters are returning soon with Pluto, Lilo, Stitch and Mickey) We also ate at Toppollinos (Mickey...

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    We just returned from 9 days at the YC. The scent is definitely different. I initially thought that maybe they just changed the scent there at YC---but as days went on and we visited more resorts I realized that the lobby scent was the same everywhere. Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the scent...

    Star wars refillable resort mug

    I saw alot of refillable mugs on our trip last week---but they were all the same ones. Didn't see any Star Wars mugs anywhere at resorts or in the parks when people had them.
