Just my opinion, 5 days is a lot I think for DL, its two parks and while they pack a ton into them, I think you can do 3 or 4 days at the parks and really see and do all. I am not sure where you are from, but I suggest hit maybe Newport beach for a day or head to LA and see some of the sights, and hit the parks in the evening. Either way expect a more laid back vibe there leas big groups and all, its really nice
I actually like the paper thin, wood fired, swimming in grease stuff they serve at Via Napoli
Funny, my pizza's were never greasy. But then they never had meat on them. But yes, love the paper thin, wood fired crust.
Did you eat inside at Via Napoli (the table service restaurant) or did you use the walk-up window (quick service)? Because the pizza inside is completely different from the pizza served at the window.
Yes I am. And it’s not the “same” restaurant. The take-out pizza from Pizza al Taglio is thick crust, typical pre-made pizza found at quick service locations. Via Napoli pizza is hand-crafted made to order with fresh ingredients and special water used in the dough.
If you stayed at Magic Kingdom late enough for Happily Ever After, I would love to hear how it felt to see a real fireworks show done NIGHTLY by a park that isn't afraid to cancel at the simplest weather inconvenience
Lol. You nailed it. I have always been amazed at the entitlement mentality. And a lot of folks have it. Also. The whole getting bottled water shipped to your room, yes that’s insane. When we goto the parks. Sure we buy one bottle. Then just keep filling it up at the water fountains. It’s water. It does it’s job and there is nothing wrong with it. As for the gift card we do that. We take the trash out and goto the desk for clean towels. Yet you are right. Folks will complain about that. Just ridiculous really.I understand everyone is entitled to their opinions but some people amaze me.
You had bottled water shipped to your hotel? Really? You do realize water is available FREE everywhere and Central Florida water is quite clean and healthy? Possibly more clean and healthy than whatever you had shipped in inside those chemically produced plastic bottles? ...Then you blame the staff for not immediately delivering said item with a white glove? I remind you you were staying at a moderate resort....
The PeopleMover is better than Flight of Passage and Kilimanjaro? Umm. FOP is hardly just “a simulator” - it is a massive technological advance and Kilimanjaro is an experience not found anywhere else on Earth unless you can afford a real African Safari.
You want the gift card, but your annoyed by trash.... Can’t you take out your own trash? Or forego the gift card? Again, you know it’s a moderate hotel mostly run by college kids, right? They literally paid you to accept a lower level of service, yet you don’t accept it. I bet you complained like crazy....
Finally, food. If burgers and pizza are all you really care about then ok, but in order to really evaluate WDW food experiences you need to go well beyond fast food and dive into the higher end experiences like more diverse Epcot sit down offerings, and places like California Grill, Ohana, Jiko, etc.... that’s where WDW truly can shine.
I get the desire to be cheap cheap cheap. But being that way yet also expecting high end service (entitlement) is what I find annoying. Have you tried Carnival Cruise Line? I think you might like it...

Just want to make sure we are comparing apples to apples here, folks.

Do it. Orlando is a lovely place to live with a lot more to enjoy than the theme parks (though they are a nice cherry on top). June will mark four years since I moved down from NC and I haven't regretted yet!
you're right though. Orlando is gorgeous, as was Disneyworld. I think in a few more years i'll be better equipped to make the right decision to move there, but I'm relieved that everyone I talk to says they love it!I understand everyone is entitled to their opinions but some people amaze me.

That’s actually not true. It’s in the top 10% of municipal water quality in the US.The tap water in Orlando is disgusting. Please let me know what part of town I need to move too or visir in order to have this high quality free flowing water you speak of. Because I've been all over this and have yet to find any
I drink it also. You may not like it. But it’s qaulity water. Los Angeles has the best tap water in the nation. But some folks think thier FIJI is better. When it’s actually not.
I'll be writing up a thread just like this but in reverse... a WDW veteran's thoughts on Disneyland.
