Nothing at animal kingdom closes early beside the Safari ride. I think I'm gonna come after I had and check in at the hotel staying off site so I should make it to Ak by 4 only 2 hours I really want to dinosaur before it closes and Everest I can do SR

Lots closes early (animal exhibits, shows, Wildlife train, many restaurants), but if your focus is those two rides I agree you should be fine! Might even sneak in some Pandora time/rides.

9:29am by TumbleMonkeys

I actually love a late AK arrival (except when my flight is late, but nobody likes that). I think you'd have more than enough time to get on Dino and EE, see Pandora at night, and catch the lights on the TOL (depending on the time of year).

Hi liners wherever you may be, my numbers are getting smaller ... 102 until we leave the Aussie outback, landing in the USA in 112, visiting Miss Dolly in 125 and mouse ears on in 134 days

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.

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

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

6:57pm on 11/29/25 by TumbleMonkeys

Liner mind parenting, I love it. DH agreed it would give things a positive twist if he earns the money to replace it then surprise me (probably the same day, DS8 is not one to keep a secret). Thanks 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

8:56pm on 11/28/25 by BTFP

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 on 11/29/25 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 on 11/29/25 by Jennyhirsch

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

6:52am on 11/29/25 by Jennyhirsch

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

8:39am on 11/29/25 by popupcamper

Much more relaxing feel.

8:40am on 11/29/25 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 on 11/29/25 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 on 11/29/25 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 on 11/29/25 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 on 11/29/25 by TumbleMonkeys

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

2:09pm on 11/29/25 by BTFP

What fireworks do you see from the Dahlia lounge?

3:51pm on 11/29/25 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!

4:16pm on 11/29/25 by snowdiz

CSR!

4:40pm on 11/29/25 by LaurenInWonderland

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

6:11pm on 11/29/25 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.

7:12pm on 11/29/25 by awvy

Wanted to agree with everyone that CSR is perfect for a trip with a 21 user old. So many good restaurant choices.l, and Toledo is a must. Now I want to add Toledo to my December trip! @tootsy you definitely need to try the Grand Destino Tower.

I like the regular rooms at CSR. GDT is probably my least fave hotel on property. It was so loud I didn't sleep at all. That stop is the last so it was very often full, and the elevators are the kind that assign you an elevator based on the floor.

8:44am by popupcamper

I, too, prefer the ordinary rooms at CSR, @popup! I'd stay cheapest room if budget made me but would prefer Casitas just to be closer to stuff. But I love the wood floors and barn door ambiance over the Marriott feel of the tower.

9:11am by Jennyhirsch

I will add another vote for the regular rooms at CSR. Although I love Toledo and Dahlia.

21 min ago by PrincipalTinker

If our plane lands at midnight, should we call the resort the day before to let them know we'll be arriving after midnight so they don't think it's a no show? Will probably take mears from MCO to CBR since we land so late.

11:12am by WildernessPixie

I often arrive after midnight. I do online check in and note the late arrival.

What time would you guys get to the bus from Riviera for a 8:15 crystal palace reservation when the park open is 7:30?

10:17pm on 11/29/25 by laurenmichelern

Are you going directly to CP? By 7am

10:26pm on 11/29/25 by Elaine5715

Plan is directly to CP unless a miracle happens and I get my teens up and out earlier

10:28pm on 11/29/25 by laurenmichelern

Agree with @elaine that 7 is good. If park opens at 7:30 then first bus will be 6:15ish and then one every 15-20 min after that. A 7ish bus will get you to MK at 7:20ish leaving plenty of time to go thru security, tapstyles, and walk up to CP.

10:56am by evamarie320

Love that your taking your teens to CP. DS13 was bouncing w tigger in matching WtP Ts with his cousins. But we didn't get to go when they were DS18 &15

Regal Eagle CP package - do all 5 of us need to be there when they open at 11 or can 1 of our party get the reservation for 5 tickets?

6:24am by cdlla

I'm pretty sure you can do it alone. You just have to order 5 meals.

7:49am by pod4christ

Do you need to eat at opening time or how does this work? We are hoping to get the CP pkg but not eat until mid afternoon.

10:24am by cdlla

Day of tickets will run out so the earlier you buy your meals the better chance of getting a CP ticket

11:13am by stustaff

BBQ for breakfast. :) my kinda day

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?

Jetty Beach park in Cocoa. Much closer than the gulf, actually the ocean(never turn your back on the ocean)

10:53am by irenek

... and if there is a launch, added coolness https://www.visitspacecoast.com/launches/

Is the Atlantic cold?

Are Goofy hats still a thing for purchase? (DH looking for alternative to Mickey Ears) Any other suggestions?

@utang, where can I find the holiday Pluto ears/hat? Are they easy to find or at select locations? Thanks!

They were all over in the parks when we were there a couple weeks ago.

Would love your review of Steakhouse 71, Ohana, Kona Cafe. Thanks! Also how many days out can we book dining I forget

8:11pm on 11/26/25 by sillnora

collapse thread

Stk71 has always been a great experience for us but is a slow moving meal. Ohana is not what it used to be and is now a skip for us. Kona has been solid in years past especially for affordable-ish

8:15pm on 11/26/25 by LaurenInWonderland

60 days before check in.

8:30pm on 11/26/25 by TumbleMonkeys

The burger at S71 is amazing! It is very slow service though. Oh! And the cake! You have to get the chocolate cake. We love Ohana but agree it is not the same as it was before they changed the presentation of meats. The view is wonderful.

8:41pm on 11/26/25 by polypack

I've been to all 3 ... stk 71 js a family favorite. Kona was ok for dinner. Better for breakfast but always loud and crowded. Ohana dinner was ok for us. Some of jt is good some not so much extra wasted food we didn't care for.

8:45pm on 11/26/25 by VikeQueen

We have never had a disappointing meal at S71! Breakfast or dinner.

8:27am on 11/27/25 by goofygrandpa

As others shared, SH71 is yummy food but slow with no ambiance (i.e. just some windows would be nice.) However, bfast ervice at 7:30 AM is speedy! We do lunch as mobile order and take it to eat outside at the marina on lovely days.

8:33am on 11/27/25 by Jennyhirsch

Kona is average but if you need a reasonably priced sit down ADR at the Poly, it'll do. Haven't been to Ohana. Menu there does not appeal to us.

8:35am on 11/27/25 by Jennyhirsch

S71 is great. Ohana character bfast is good but dinner food is awful (in our opinion).

10:50am on 11/27/25 by cdlla

Oh boy! I think I will skip all 3! Thank you!

6:25pm on 11/28/25 by sillnora

Ohana isn't what it used to be. Did the breakfast and felt ignored. Poor service and overpricing

11:39pm on 11/28/25 by WorldTraveler34

We are big on character meals, and recommend them for breakfast as a fun start to your day when prices are lower and food expectations are modest: Topolino's, Tusker, CRT, Ohana, Cape May, H&V in that order

11:56am on 11/29/25 by Ali Ababwa

I have been to all 3 multiple times. I like Kona for breakfast. I will return to SH 71 for breakfast but my negative experiences at lunch means I need a time out on that one. Ohana as it is now is a skip for me too. But friends love all 3.

1:28pm on 11/29/25 by PrincipalTinker

Forgot nearby 1900 Park Fare, which I'd include toward the top of my list

I wondered if PF had fallen out of your favor when I saw your list, @ali! It was excellent as usual when we had it a couple weeks ago.

2:24pm on 11/29/25 by utang44

Yes, we enjoy the characters at 1900PF and the food options, though I'm not crazy about buffets where unsupervised little kids roam (e.g. Crystal Palace). More crowded than we like. But we still include it in our rotation!

4:24pm on 11/29/25 by Ali Ababwa

1900PF food, ambiance of GF, and character interactions are wonderful. I do have to say that I really miss the Mad Hatter, Alice, and Mary Poppins though.
