I did this tour probably about 15 years ago. It was 100% worth it. I think you will really appreciate it if: -You have been to Disney a few times before. I don't know if a newbie would want to commit to 5 hours of potential park time being spent on a tour. But if you are a seasoned Disney...

Did anyone visit the AAA 'lounge' at Disneyworld back in the day? If you were an AAA member you could go into the the lounge to cool off, air conditioning, comfy seats, snacks and drinks. Not sure if there was one in every park, I think I remember going to one near Tomorrowland, but not sure...

Oh Wow! Good to know...I live in the Northeast and the Hardee's around here all closed long ago. They turned the one near my house into a bank :mad:.

From my experience eating from the kids menu last week multiple times, I don't think Disney is too concerned about adults ordering kids meals, at least not at counter service restaurants. After all, I only knew this was a possibility at all because the employee at Port Orleans suggested it to...

Haha-yeah that's what I thought. I was kinda like 'thanks manager guy for giving us a heads up that 'someone will be with us soon' but why don't you take a spot at the desk???' :cool: :D But yes, this was right when Magical Express arrived and was lunch hour which probably factored into it.

First trip was in 1989, senior year of college. Also the first time on a plane for me, a few things stick out in my memory about that trip. **This was back when actual meals were included on flights; I was served a full waffle/eggs/bacon breakfast on a tray. . **We stayed off site at a Days...

Totally agree with having been able to experience Disney pre-internet (first time was in 1989.) You didn't HAVE to do a whole lot pre-trip planning back then, and there really weren't the means to plan in any significant way anyway. You could learn about the parks using Fodor's guides if you...

I was told last week when I ordered a grilled cheese (for myself) that it was a kids meal. But then the Disney employee told me it's fine for adults to order kids meals. (I just assumed it was illegal in the disney dining world.) It's really plenty of food. I ate kids meals at counter service...

I've stayed at values (Music), moderates (Port Orleans) and (just once) at a deluxe (Wilderness.) In my opinion there's not so much of a difference between the feel moderate and deluxe level, but a value resort, is definitely...well ...value. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, the price...

At Disney last week I just wanted a grilled cheese at Port Orleans food court. I was told this was a kids meal (noted on menu as for kids under 9), but that it's fine for adults to order kids meals for themselves too. (Not quite sure why I never just did this before, or thought I needed some...

The guy who did my 'safety check' at Port Orleans French Quarter knocked and identified himself (from outside the locked door) both times he came by on his 'rounds'.

Not sure if this is a tip or if everyone else knows about this cost saving option. I could be the only one who just assumed this was 'illegal' while at the Disney World. ;) :D. Anyway last week I ordered a grilled cheese at Port Orleans Food Court and was told this was a kid's meal. Kids meals...

I was there last week--the staff wasn't rude or unhelpful, but they were working with a skeleton crew on the front desk at check in. (This was about 1pm on Monday Jan. 8th). The line was all the way out to the the foyer...they only had two staff working (and sometimes one as the second staffer...

Thanks for sharing. Signs and room check process were in use at Port Orleans last week as well. It does seems like those 'in development' luggage scanners for hotels will be much more useful in preventing another horrible tragedy than the room checks. From this article, it sounds like the good...

Yup. I totally get your point here about it being 'security theater', and actually largely agree with that line of thinking. Though I think a lot of the security/safety stuff put in place in the average American workplace is the same--including all those mandatory trainings. Still, it is all an...

I just got back two days ago from Port Orleans French Quarter. I was sick:mad: the first two days and was in room sleeping with room occupied sign on door. I heard some knocking and ignored it, figuring it was just housekeeping or something. I was surprised when a Disney staffer opened the...

Oh wow, thanks for the tip! If I knew it was 'legal' to still request towels we might have taken the offer, that's all we were concerned about! Good to know for next trip.:D

When: Week of January 8, 2018 Where: Port Orleans French Quarter Who: Me (50 yrs old) , Parents (first trip EVER for parents though I have been many times.) Transportation: Magical Express from Airport Advance Prep: We had our Magic Bands, I had made some fast pass reservations the week prior...
