    AOA vs POFQ?

    The teenagers are 17 and 16. The 16 has never been. The wife is sitting out the parks 1 day to shop and chill, but me and the teenagers will be grinding the parks non-stop for the 3 days we are on site at Disney. We just plan to sleep at the resort, not explore it much. And no bar for any of us...

    AOA vs POFQ?

    I think I am leaning towards AOA... I assume the skylifts are still running in this Covid stuff... lol Thanks so much for the info. Hoping a few more will share their thoughts, as well.

    AOA vs POFQ?

    Headed to Disney (party of 4 this time), choosing between Art of Animation and the Port Orleans - French Quarter. AOA is less expensive which would allow us to do Hoppers and Disney +, but have never stayed at POFQ only walked through. Pros? Cons? Input? Thanks in advance.

    Can we do Disney?

    Ok... 1st, not down to my "last $1,500" but thanks for your sincere concern for my well-being! LOL 2nd, thanks to above suggestions and ideas for an economical trip. That was more the purpose of my post. Guess I didn't convey that very well. 3rd, never wanted anyone to do my work for me. Was...

    Can we do Disney?

    Sort of... It looks like it's about $140ish for a ticket, per park, per day. I could take an hour and plug in dates and resorts, or simply call Disney and let them look for me... I guess, since there are people on the boards that go all the time, I was just trying to get a general concensus as...

    Can we do Disney?

    Ok... Two part question, really... 1st - is it possible to enter Florida and stay at a Disney Resort and visit the theme parks in Jan (as of right now). 2nd - I have two teenagers and $1,500. We want to do Animal Kingdom (we have never seen the Pandora Addition) and Hollywood Studios (haven't...

    Walk me through it....

    With the 14 day quarantine requirement entering the state, then, yes, that will severely limit the average family from taking advantage of the small crowds. But, I can only speak to my part of the East coast, there a whole lot of people around here that would go in a heartbeat... But I am...

    Walk me through it....

    Are there quarantine issues with entering and exiting Florida?

    Walk me through it....

    Ok. So, I have bits and pieces of info, but could we chat and create a thread about Disney World now... how it will operate in this new period? I read the fantastic review from the front page, however, who can buy tickets? When? Where from? Will prices not jump up since fewer guest can enter...

    So glad you are finding this thread as beneficial as I did!! It was incredible.

    Snorkel Rental and Glasses

    Chuck is correct. The temples (part that goes from frame to ear) will, indeed, create a crease that will cause your mask to leak. It may be slow enough to get a few good looks in, but you will grow very tired of having to surface to pour out the water and re-adjust it.... Also, wear your...

    First Disney cruise!!!

    All the Mixology classes were full leading up to the cruise. However, the day we boarded, we were introduced in the lobby, then turned right to the Customer Service station and they put us in one. As a side note, we had someone show up at the class who had not previously signed up, but since...

    Giving up disney passes for universal?

    Damon777 No need to "adjust my declaration." My memory is that my 3 children, wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law chatted quite a bit about how many of the rides we rode required glasses. My mother-in-law had to stop riding rides because of motion sickness, something that has never happened...

    Giving up disney passes for universal?

    Could care less about the food debate... But my concern about your UNI experience centers on the autism issue. Nearly every ride at UNI requires wearing 3D glasses. The rides tend to be high energy, fast pace and in many cases a bit "scary". I don't have an autistic child, but I worry these...

    First Disney cruise!!!

    I agree. We took our 1st ever cruise on The Dream four weeks ago. Didn't come CLOSE to doing everything we wanted to do onboard. Will do a 5-night cruise next time so we can casually get it all in. People were awesome, service was fantastic, shows were unbelievable and food was delicious... Our...

    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

    Opps... quick follow up, we are a month away and I haven't gotten luggage tags or a packet in the mail yet. Trip was only booked a couple weeks ago and is paid in full. Perhaps I should call Disney with THIS question, eh? 😁

    1st Disney Cruise! Heck, my 1st cruise EVER!

    FWIW, the advice on this thread has been golden. I did - indeed - call Disney and spoke to a wonderful cast member who had to look up nearly everything I asked her. She finally admitted she had, "only been on one cruise." I don't take the recommendations here as a Holy Prophecy, but I do like...
