I'd rather go to Canada... which I am in May for an Alaska cruise.
We promptly left and went to get a bite to eat, as it had been a long travel day already, and we realized we were not in a good area. So we googled another place, farther away, went to check it out, and had a nice stay there. It was no Disney resort, but it was pretty good. It did make us appreciate what we get when we go to Disney, even to some of the hotels outside the parks. I think there is value in that, knowing that even if things aren’t always perfect, at least they’re going to be clean, safe and fun!I will! You too! Na zdrowie comrade!
Every time I go to WDW I drink plenty of alcohol and I see a lot of others doing likewise. Smoking and pot are not such a big thing in the US, but it seems like there's a gummy store around every corner now.
Mmmm
I once bought some bottles of wine for gifts at a boutique winery where, for a small extra charge, they’d print and attach a short personalized message.
Wait, what?? It just means Cheers in Polish! That's insane! What a brudna suka!

I was last there in 2021. We had a good time, but I've lost the desire to go back. Which is crazy, because I used to NEED a trip at least once a year and started jonesing for the next one as soon as I got home. At this point most of the things I really miss don't exist anymore.Couldn't have said it betterResearch and experience are completely different things. I think some folks NEED to put a value on most things in life, and that's fine. But to say you don't see the value when you haven't experience it let's say in the recent 5-10 years, it's not really a fair statement. But hey, don't come, more for us!
True, but the literal translation of “zdrowie” is “health.”
As we've been traveling in Europe over the last few years, the thing I've missed the most about Disney is always knowing there's a clean bathroom steps away.We had occasion to visit another area of the US last fall and we had a good time. But when we first pulled up to the hotel we’d booked (a chain we frequent and really like), there were prostitutes and pit bulls outside the hotel. We were a little confused! So we cautiously ventured inside to check it out and fortunately, the room wasn’t ready.
I so want to travel to Europe but my damn anxiety just won't let me, My kids are grown but I still stress majorly being on the other side of the ocean from them. Had a stroke five years ago and my anxiety about travel just got worse. Honestly it's why we go to Disney, very little anxiety for me there. We mostly do resort stays now and just purchased DVC. I've been to so many hotels all over the US and have had way too many issues at all price points. When we do travel we camp in our trailer, I like having my own bed, kitchen and bathroom. Disney is one place where I know the room quallity and cleanliness is spot on from value to deluxe hotels. It's why we keep coming back.
What about spending money on beer in Paris AND Disney?
Do any of your kids want to go to Europe that you could tag along with? That's my mom's preferred method. She loves going, but is not a planner at all and has never traveled by herself, so she tags along with me and my sisters any chance she gets. We do all the planning, she goes along for the ride.
I'm sure they would but they are at a tough age, where they are in college and or just starting in their careers. My oldest lives on the otherside of the country. I'm sure my husband and I will make our way overseas eventually. For now I'm glad we have someplace we can both relax.
I didn't even add the exchange rate in the previous posting. It's a killer too! Enjoy your cruise!
One of my closest friend’s husband was in the Peace Corps over in Turkey. (Did I spell that right? Türkiye) Later in life he wanted to vacation there, so they went. She said the hardest thing to get used to was going to the bathroom in a hole in the floor. (Not really my idea of a vacation - nor hers!) She also had to use the bathroom one day when they were out and about and there was only some sort of men’s bar nearby and they didn’t want to let her use their facilities. (I guess if you’re a man, it’s easier?
) I never forgot her story.
For us, I don't mind spending money for a good return on investment. That is no longer available at WDW For Us. We now go to Universal, and yes, it is expensive. But what you get in return is well worth it to us.
