Agree! Still, its unbelievable how many people DO NOT WASH HANDS.
It was funny going to a cruise and a lot of people with tons of money see the disinfectant machines as foreign and alien devices..

People wash hands




I thought that was what sandpaper was for ...

Let's readdress this when you reach my age. I suspect that by then my numbers will consist of all zero's.

Would that come under the heading of....

Thats a lot of scars!

You'd laugh if you saw how quickly I change direction if someone starts to sneeze or cough. About Face! I change tables or places in line. I am a germaphobic.

Nothing grosses me out more than people who blow their nose at a table in a home or In a restaurant. Then they pass bowls or pickup salt shakers etc. so disgusting. Plus the sound when you are eating is stomach turning

Even more gross to me is when they sit at the table and snort it in rather than go blow their nose.

Anyone here has or knows someone who works for Disney? I want to know what kind of details should I put in a job letterhead.
The examples online are very varied but some are very generic (infact, most of the sites that have the examples, want you to pay to see other versions)

OK, so I've booked Coronado Springs for our trip, but wondering if Port Orleans Riverside would be better? It's less than $100 more. I'm not at all familiar with either resort, so I welcome your input!

It depends on what you're looking for..

Coronado is MASSIVE. Requires a lot of walk if you're far away from the main building.
POR is smaller, feels cozier and has beautiful gardens.
Id say POR is above COR in most offers (except convention space).
Also, POR usually only has 2-3 stops in the resort.. COR has like 6... very lengthy ones mind you.
The only times I've seen the POR buses rotate the entire resort, is early morning and late night.. COR ones rotate ALL the time around the resort stops.

COR is also denser in their rooms in some buildings. Some are as dense as POR's.

Also, COR = big lake, lots of open areas with little cover from sun.
POR = river and boats service to disney springs, hald and half cover wise.
Food wise I found POR to be above COR. Bus service too.
But for 100 a day? nope.
Id rather go to AKL. Which is usually 75/100 more per day than COR on low season.

@figmentfan423 Did your boys watch Legends of the Hidden Temple on Nick? It was a good movie.

I'm not sure if James did he's away for the weekend and my other ds is watching some type of food marathon

Ah no, $100 total more for entire trip, not per day. But sounds like POR might be better in regard to transport.

I've never stayed at either but we did hop to both FQ and Riverside and found them quite lovely. One word may sway your decision begneittes. Paging @Mr Ferret 88 and @MouseDreaming. I know they have both stayed there

I suspect a lot of the stores were less crowded because you're going to see record numbers of sales online, especially since so many stores started their black Friday sales well in advance online.

This is one of the best holiday weekends for the shopping public, because of all the competition between retailers. In addition to buying gifts, there were other things we needed as well. For days, I was watching all the sales, coupons, deals, etc., and I ended up paying almost $80 less for all the items I needed to buy. Even today, (Sunday), the stores are really competitive, and I went to Target for some things, and they had 15% off everything in the store--just for today. Fine with me -- as I go back to work tomorrow! Shopping DONE!

You know me too well. Beignets are definitely a selling point for me!

Congrats. Sounds like you did really well!

Let's call in our consultant, @Gabe1 , when it comes to the POR area. She's stayed in at least the Riverside, or maybe even the French Quarter, a number of times (I forget which one she likes the best). But she can share some helpful information.

Yes and there's a really nice little bar in FQ . Paging @littleroo

for 100 Id take the deal definitively.
I have been to both hotels and I still liked POR better.

Then I'm also a bit biased as I didn't like the "mexican" food at COR

Good news: I've been enjoying home for the last week
Bad news: I go back to school tomorrow

Coronado is nice and not as yuuge as some people say. POR has the water taxi that runs to downtown Disney so that puts it above the Mehico resort for us.
Really cant go wrong cause your at Disney .
