AND THEN THEY'D WANT TO GO SIT BY THE POOL - - - YIKES!

I can't help wondering what Barney Fife would have done.

As discussed, two very different experiences, so a bit of an apples to oranges. Aside from that, I would say the biggest difference between the two is that you're able to "play" Vegas to a larger degree than you can "play" WDW. Vegas is going to be as expensive as you want it to be; but it...

Thanks for the snarky comment. To paraphrase the old orange juice commercial... "A thread without a Wise is like a day without sunshine."

This and this. Now that you say that, as simple a concept as this is, I never really thought about the "taste of Disney". When someone asks about a restaurant recommendation, it does rekindle the memory of the "event" of eating at a certain place as much as it does the food - if not more so...

I was thinking in general. Maybe it's just the crowd I hang with!!

Yup. I get that. But let me give you an example of what I was driving at. Along with Disney, a big vacation hot spot for us is Las Vegas. I used to look at a forum board every day specific to Vegas. This is tied to the Las Vegas Advisor, which is owned by Anthony Curtis. If you ever caught...

Been thinking about something for a while and can't come up with an answer, so thought what the heck, throw a thread out there. These folks will figure it out for me! I'm not a big poster, but visit pretty close to every day to catch up on the latest. I used to have what I would call a "Forum...

All of the above, plus keep in mind the "back" entrance to EPCOT which drops you right into the World Showcase. No long walk to the buses - - short walk to the boat and you're "home" before you know it. We've stayed at both. At the Swan we had a balcony overlooking the lagoon and the boat...

It's funny, but our favorites seem to change based on the last experience! A story to illustrate: We do Chefs every visit. I protested a little this last time - try some place new - but was voted down. Good thing. The salmon I had was my best meal of the trip and I had a very positive CM...

While you don't hear a lot about it, we really liked Fresh Mediterranean Market at the Dolphin. I would say it's a consideration, particularly without kids, because there isn't a character in sight. Buffet description: At this bountiful breakfast buffet, enjoy made-to-order omelets or eggs...

Just an experience to add regarding the "no reservations' deal, which may not be universal but happened to us. We decided to give this place a try as we had never eaten there. My daughter called weeks before the vacation and was told that no reservations were necessary - as we know. She...

Used online in spring for the first time, and no question would use it again. We had two requests and both were granted. Stayed at Caribbean Beach; requested either Jamaica or Aruba. Check. Requested side by side rooms. Check. We received the texts on the way to the resort. The bands...

I kind of like the "pushing-a-stroller-with-head-down-buried-in-phone" folks who provide plenty of entertainment as they part the seas ahead of them. I'm probably not the best suited to answer the OP's question because, in general, I dislike cellphones and literally do not carry one unless...

Have to chime in because I'm sitting in building 43 at CBR as I write this. We hadn't stayed here before so wanted to give it a try. One of the knocks you hear is that the resort is big and spread out; which it is. But you can minimize that effect, and it actually might be a benefit. As...

Interesting that Mine Train didn't make anyone's cut. It's anticipation night here - in the motel room next to the airport ready to fly out tomorrow. Judging by the fast pass situation, thought the Dwarfs would at least get an honorable mention somewhere. I guess I will see why shortly. My...

Thanks all! Started thinking that I was going to recommend some place else maybe, but after a little more thought.... Quality of food is important, but the more I thought about it, in the World the entire dining experience as a whole is kind of my driver.The actual food is only a component of...

Having been to pretty much every level of Vegas buffet, I think I can say with certainty that food is probably the last on the breakfast buffet criteria check list in The World -at least for me, As noted, they're fairly standard and uniform in that regard. And they're both going to be packed...

We like to try at least a couple new venues each visit and this time we have BRB slated, in part for variety reasons. The recent best/worst thread included a few "worst" and a void of "bests" concerning the place. Any recent experiences of note?? Ohana is one of our other first timers which...

EXCELLENT! Thank you both!!
