I think the chances are a little bit better for resort guests during EMH mornings. During that hour only other resort guests can ride.

You're welcome, the key is vacationing with great folks that are willing to get up that early on vacation :-) have a wonderful time!

Rode this attraction yesterday. Amazing. We are staying on property so we were able To take advantage of extra magic hours at the Animal Kingdom. We used a smartphone to book a LYFT at 6:35 AM and arrived at the turnstiles at 6:55 AM. There were about 3 families in front of us on our line...

I will be canceling Victoria & Alberts main dining room reservations for 2 in the next two days. The reservations are for 5:45PM on April 24th. I am willing to coordinate.

Will cancel reservation for two at California Grill on October 12 at 5:45 PM. Will cancel at 12 noon Eastern standard time today, 9/22 . Willing to coordinate. Yeah that was confusing on my part, sorry. The reservation is for October 12 at 5:45 PM at the California Grill. I'll hold off on...

Thanks for this excellent review. I had been hoping the podcast would add the four seasons to their list of resort reviews. From what you've written it seems the room is on a par with the rooms at the grand Floridian with the exception of what sounds like a magnificent bathroom and...

gators can move very quickly. They're no words. Prayers for the parents

I cannot tell you how helpful all the advice on this thread has been to me. Thank you all. I'm a big fan of an awesome view from my hotel window. I just love waking up and looking out of the window and seeing something beautiful like CA. The twist in the story is I was overruled by the child...

What a stunning photo! Thanks so much for posting this. I had forgotten how beautiful that view is.

Thanks so much everyone. Still trying to decide. I've stayed at the Paradise Pier with the theme park view and it was breathtaking. Had the same view at the grand Californian. Although it's a lovely hotel the rooms were too small for me. I've never stayed at the Disneyland Hotel and judging...

Hi all, have a question, I hope this is the right place. If your Choices were a theme park view at Paradise Pier or a trees View from the Disneyland Hotel at a similar price point which would you choose? Thanks :-)

Yesterday's episode almost made me hate the sorcerers hat in Hollywood studios a little less

That's very good to hear! I was very happy with my last stay at Portofino. Stayed at the hard rock a few months ago but I must say I missed the charm of Portofino bay. I love the old color scheme. It got away from the Blues and whites that you find in almost every other Florida hotel. Or maybe...

I wouldn't say ugly, but I agree with your point. The old rooms really had a great continental touch that was charming and as you say "transporting". These rooms just don't look as unique to my eye.

This doesn't include the bathroom, but here's a link to a time lapse view of the room renovation. http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2013/4/17/112839/276/hotels/Loews_Portofino_Bay_Shows_Off_Their_Rooms_Renovation_with_New_Time-Lapse_Video

good point!

I'll look up that short cut! We did Olivanders second, but either way will work as long as you are one of the first in. Have a great time!

According to the hotel the water taxis leave about every 15 to 25 minutes. that has been my experience as well. be sure to get to Harry Potter and the forbidden journey ride the very very first thing in the morning! Last time I was there, last February, hotel guests did not enjoy front of the...

The good news is, in my humble opinion this is the most beautiful hotel on property, or in any Florida theme park. The bad news is, it is the farthest from any of the Universal Parks. You would do better to take the water taxi. I would say it's a 15 minute walk or 20 minutes stroll to CityWalk...

Just got back from a business trip to LA. Stopped by Universal and I have to say, Transformers felt like Spiderman with robots, right down to the drop off a roof at the end. It's a fun ride but in terms of storyline, ride and villains, Spiderman has the edge. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the...
