I assume you are doing Disney and Universal? My sense is that Disney is a little better, but I have not seen it firsthand since December. In this case I was talking specifically about Universal in June when we last visited. I am with you on Casey's. It doesn't get great reviews (I know there...

Just wondered if things have improved since June. On a weekday then, I counted approx 30+ people in line for nearly every kiosk that sold any kind of food or beverage. There was usually one employee working in a booth that should have had 3-4. Actual restaurants were worse....We asked about a...

Any updates on how often they are using this? Is it reliable? How is the experience? I will be there in Nov and my last experience with the old virtual line was sketchy at best (April and June)...you never knew whether it was going to be in use until you tried it, and you never really knew...

Does anyone have any insight into how much room inventory is currently offline? I can't say I have done a comprehensive search of all dates, but pretty much every date I have checked from Oct - Dec is very limited to zero availability. I understand that Food and Wine, Halloween, races, and...

I would not say it is to be avoided, but it is faster and less frustrating to walk. The boat is very slow and makes multiple stops. If you are exhausted or it is 99 degrees, that could change the equation. I am usually trying to maximize my time, so I usually want to move places quickly. If...

Even as crowded as the airport was during my trip, security to the gate was probably 10 minutes with CLEAR/TSA-pre-check. Online check-in and no checked bags should get you there in plenty of time. 2 hours would be too much time for me, but everyone has their own risk threshhold with being on...

We stayed over Christmas after years of Deluxe stays. The biggest pro was adjoining rooms (four beds/2 baths) for the price of a Deluxe room at Yacht Club. Splitting hairs a bit, but overall the rooms reminded me more of a Disney Moderate than a Deluxe...limited storage, poor...

Cowfish is good and an interesting take on Sushi, but I don't know if I would go to City Walk just to eat....I usually hit it when I am at Universal anyway. I also like Nagoya near the Publix off Sand Lake.

It is still there: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/best-sushi-in-orlando.955251/

Always been really pleased with Happy Limo. I usually have them do a quick Publix stop on the way. You only get 10-15 minutes, so it has to be a very quick in and out, but it is great to grab a 12 pack of beer for the room or a couple of other small items you cannot pack in a suitcase. They...

I know Southwest has had computer and flight cancellation issues, but that did not seem to be the problem Sat. I think it was pure volume vs capacity. All the systems seemed to be working fine and the vast majority of flights were running as scheduled. Maybe there were extra travelers from...

Just a heads up...MCO is really, really mobbed...at least when I was there. I am used to showing up at the airport 1 hour prior to my flight and not having any issues. I have Clear/TSA Pre-check and any other timesavers I can get. Last Saturday, the line for Southwest check in stretched as...

As of last Saturday, B side is still closed. A side is absolutely mobbed though. The demand is clearly there, but I suspect they can't find the staff.

You don't have to stay at the Royal Pacific...just check in and get your Express Passes. I have considered the same thing...stay at CB and do a dual stay at RP. The family will definitely fit better in CB. The RP rooms are nice enough, but pretty small. As I mentioned, get there pretty early...

Express Pass was huge. We did Harry Potter in about 10 minutes when the standby line was listed as 120 minutes. I'm sure there are people who think money is more valuable than time, but I am the opposite...I will often spend money to save time. I figure I got 4 days worth of Universal...

Yes...we were actually staying at a Margaritaville resort villa for the week and booked a room in the middle of that stay just for the express pass. As I've mentioned before, it is usually cheaper to book the room than buy the express pass ala carte. You get express pass access on the day of...

I just saw Jason Bourne for the first time last week. Indy had its time, but Bourne really highlighted to me how dated Indy is. I get the nostalgia, but the world's premier film company can do better when it comes to highlighting how actions sequences are made to look realistic in films.

Just a quick update to my previous report. We returned for two days June 21-22 and stayed at the Royal Pacific again. The parks were absolutely packed compared to April. Clearly Universal is past COVID from an attendance ceiling standpoint, and it really shows. The good news is that you can...

I just returned from a 2 day visit on 21-22 June. Express Pass (from our Deluxe hotel) was a lifesaver. I thought Mon/Tues would be relatively uncrowded, but the parks were absolutely packed. If we had not had express, we would have given up and left the park for the pool. Note that for one...

Yes...if dropped at TTC you will monorail or boat for the last leg to MK. You have two other options...if you can talk your way past the guard, you can have an Uber drop you off at either Contemporary or Grand Floridian and walk. We did the GF, just to check out the new walkway. You can also...
