Trip Report Thanksgiving - good, bad and ugly

Just returned from our 10-19 to 10-26 trip. Awesome time but a few complaints. Stayed at POR for the 5th time. We love it there but I have never seen as much trash at any resort in the ponds and streams in the resort under the bridges and along walkways. Plastic bottles, cigarettes and candy wrappers that were there the day we arrived and still there the day we left. Also this was Thanksgiving week and on a few days they had people at the depots telling people which lines to get in. A few days there was no one and it was mass chaos. Even people smoking on the benches with a lot of people around !!! I had to ask one lady to please put her cigarette out. POR needs to police this especially during peak times!!

The parks were great except for one cast member named Christy at the Pirates ride. Not going to get into the altercation but I’ll say she’s the rudestcast member we have ever encountered in all ofDisney. I hope this little millenial’s mommy anddaddy have a lot of money because she will never be able to keep a job with that attitude.

We always get the deluxe dining Plan because my wife likes to eat at the nice restaurants. This is mysecond time to eat at the Yachtsman and I can honestly say this is the best meal we have ever had on any trip. This used to be how we felt about the California Grill but we had pretty bad service there the last 2 times. The Yachtsman is a must do!!

We love WDW but there are some improvements needed as always. Service and a clean resort are expected...

We've always stayed at POR over several years. Yes, we have notice more trash around the walkways but it was always cleared away during our stay. We always stay at non peak times of the year, no holidays, etc, so maybe that's why?
We have switched to POFQ for our trip in March because of the dog friendly resort that POR has become now. We are saddened about this, but for us, we don't want to vacation with anyone's dogs. We love dogs, have had several, but a vacation at WDW, IMO, is not built for dogs. So, with much regret, we are now at POFQ for the time being, until this "trial" is hopefully over.

If you liked Yachtsmen, which is good, you will love Le Cellier in Canada

I have heard SUCH mixed reviews on Yachtsman and its probably the only signature we have not done. We will have to make it a point to give a try next time!
