We are enjoying the new desserts and drinks at the MK fireworks party. They have margaritas now in addition to the usual wine and beer (and non-alcoholic drinks).

I see lots of flights affected by snow in the Midwest. Hoping all Liners can keep their carefully crafted plans!

Ugh! Safe travels, all!

I made 8 night reservations for the summer for DD21 and I. I have reservations at Coronado Springs and also POR. Both with the room deal. They are both std rooms, close in price. What would you choose and why? POFQ is $500 more, so out of budget. TY

collapse thread

If you two will spend some time at Disney Springs, consider staying at POR for the water transportation.

9:09pm on 11/28/25 by IMarriedMyEllie

I'm not sure we will spend much time at Disney Springs, maybe one afternoon or evening. If it's based solely on the hotel & transportation what are your thoughts? This would be late May/ early June.

9:14pm on 11/28/25 by BTFP

I like Coronado so if $500 is the difference between Lightning lane or not I'd pick Coronado. I have stayed FQ yet but I've stayed Riverside.

9:54pm on 11/28/25 by popupcamper

FQ has only one stop but we just walked to and from coronados first stop so that doesn't matter to me. FQ did share with Riverside often during our trip but I think it was first off usually (does that make it last on? I don't remember.)

9:56pm on 11/28/25 by popupcamper

I think OP was just asking to compare POR and CS. They said FQ is out of budget. I am no help - haven't stayed at either one!

11:16pm on 11/28/25 by rickelwoman

POR has a nice pool surrounded by trees. The pool bar is good too. I like CS pool more though. It felt more fun. Three Bridges Bar is delightful in the evening. Bus transportation is about the same as far as timing.as both have 4 pick up locations.

6:40am by IMarriedMyEllie

Haven't stayed POR for 20 years. I find CSR rooms and POFQ rooms same and I love them. I'd stay CSR. Not a fan of the woodsy feel of POR. Love clean open feel of CSR, like the dining options better, love an early AM run or walk around lake.

6:51am by Jennyhirsch

Downside of CSR standard will be a long walk in heat to food vs shadier walking at POR.

6:52am by Jennyhirsch

Ohhhhh thanks @rickle. I'd pick Riverside over Coronado if they're the same price.

8:39am by popupcamper

Much more relaxing feel.

8:40am by popupcamper

With a 21 yr old dd I'd pick Coronado. Three Bridges and the Dahlia Lounge would be fun for that age. Also Sangria University and the Mosaic making. And the main pool is awesome. Request the Cabanas section.

8:54am by awvy

I missed the 21 year old part! Absolutely CSR. 3 Bridges on the lake at night all lit up or the Dahlia Lounge for watching fireworks would feel so special. Way cooler for that age than corny old YeeHaa Bob at POR.

10:19am by Jennyhirsch

I love CSR. Dahlia Lounge is wonderful. The resort feels very "adult". That said, our next trip will be at POR to specifically see corny old YeeHaa Bob.

10:55am by MOJoe

You've just convinced me to consider CSR (which is one I haven't checked off my list yet!) for after DD turns 21 this summer.

11:02am by TumbleMonkeys

I'm definitely leaning towards CSR now! Thank y'all so much! Any other thoughts?

2:09pm by BTFP

What fireworks do you see from the Dahlia lounge?

3:51pm by BTFP

@BTFP, I assume it's Epcot because you can see Spaceship Earth from the balcony. Also an overview of HS. And at the other end AK and Expedition Everest. We love Dahlia!

CSR!

4:40pm by LaurenInWonderland

EP fireworks from Dahlia. And a few sparklers or some such get set off at HS?

6:11pm by Jennyhirsch

Have dinner one night at Toledo. One of the best restaurants on property in my opinion and reasonably priced for what it is.

I'm getting ready to book my lightning lanes next week... can someone link me to the availability chart? I know I've seen it before but not sure where.... Thanks!!

^^ But no longer functional, sadly.

7:03pm by utang44

It can now only be used to view your plans, cancel existing LLs, or view the next available LL time slot.

7:03pm by utang44

We believe it still works to also book DAS.

7:10pm by PrincipalTinker

"What's cookin'?" Not me! Later this evening DW and I are having dinner with friends at a sports bar and grill. Pub grub menu; will it be wings? Burgers? Pizza? It's all good there. Who's dining in? Who's dining out tonight?

Thanksgiving leftovers!

6:48pm by ejhnstn

Today is our 26 yr Family Day: the day we met our son to adopt him. We had hoped to take him & his GF out to dinner to celebrate. But we can't be greedy. They were w/us Thanksgiving and last night. So tonight they are with her fam. We ordered rice bowls.

6:58pm by evamarie320

Congrats, @eva! We had yummy chili with rice and cornbread. Caesar salad on side!

7:02pm by Jennyhirsch

My son launched an R2D2 inflatable ball at the wall where their silhouette from MK was hanging...and broke the frame. Anyone remember if you can buy a new frame separately? We're going in January.

Or let DH be the super thoughtful good guy and he can whisper to the kids that he and they can secretly buy a frame to replace and wrap for next Xmas or bday. They'd have fun trying to ditch you at MK for a secret mission.

6:13pm by Jennyhirsch

@blast, you'll feel better if you call it "natural consequences" rather than punishment. Perfectly appropriate imho. Tho I like @jenny's idea too.

6:49pm by evamarie320

Mom always said, don't play ball in the house!

Travel insurance thoughts... we don't typically opt for it. We have a Sapphire card that covers some things. We have a Disney trip next month and a few trips next year. Worth looking into private yearly policies? Anything I can add around 30 days out?

I've bought multiple policies from Allianz. For a single trip, best approach is to only insure the value of non-refundable expenditures. As that value rises as the trip gets closer, additional value can be purchased to increase the amount insured.

6:06pm by cigar95

I purchased an annual policy back in June because we had several WDW and non-WDW trips planned. It paid for itself already when I had to file a claim in July due to flight cancellation and need for an extra night of lodging and meals. I plan to renew it

6:06pm by JoeyPotter98

@youcan, a few years ago when first mentioned here, I googled and it seemed to not be available in the US. But then two years ago my travel agent suggested it. I assume she makes a small commission on it each year. She does all the work. I just pay.

6:52pm by evamarie320

Taking DD, DS, and GC 15,12,10, 7 end of May. Want to take them to the beach for a few days as well. Looking for a tropical beach feel. Would Atlantic or Gulf Coast be better?

We also prefer the white sand beaches of the Gulf. Destin , St. Pete Beach

5:22pm by goofygrandpa

If you're staying longer than just one day, it's worth the drive to get to the gulf coast.

6:12pm by MOJoe

Love Anna Maria Island, Gulf side.

That's so my song, @MOJoe! Like the way Elaine's boyfriend is with Desperado. :-)

11:05am by TumbleMonkeys

145 to UOR, 155 to WDW, then DCL. Def no snow here but we did go up to Covent Garden for some Christmas shopping then went to get our tree. Not allowed to decorate it until DS18 comes home in 2 weeks tho.

10 more days of enjoying paradise before Disneyland :)

I just read that Robert A M Stern has passed. You might not recognize his name but if you're a liner, you've almost certainly seen and appreciated his work.

11:33am by cigar95

I saw that too!

12:45pm by evamarie320

Boardwalk, Yacht, and Beach are his designs. And he at least had a hand in Celebration planning. Not sure how much of that he's directly responsible for.

12:47pm by evamarie320

One of the hotels at Paris was also his work. The look is immediately recognizable.
