    Disney Dining Reviews: The Good, The Bad, The Yummy (and The Yucky!)

    YO - There are coconut races and hula hoop contests for the kids. My DD wanted to do both - but since we were a bit far from the action, there was no room left for the coconut race. She did get to do the hula and had lots of fun. There's a guy singing and playing the ukelele - and getting...

    BBQ ribs

    Another rib lover here... I agree with njb1148 - the ribs at the Spirit of Aloha dinner show were excellent - sweet, tender and fall off the bone delicious. This being said, avoid the ribs at House of Blues - they were horrible - tough and tasteless. Had to gnaw at them to get the meat...

    Newbie needs POR help

    There are no coffee makers in the room, but you can request one at no charge. They do charge for the coffee packs - although they did bring us one complimentary pack. We brought our own coffee - I really need my coffee first thing in the morning! By the way, we also stayed in AB27 and loved...

    Disney Dining Reviews: The Good, The Bad, The Yummy (and The Yucky!)

    meganbear- Yes, the margarita kiosk is the one in Mexico. Most people seemed to be ordering the fiesta margarita, which is all four flavours (lime, strawberry, mango and kiwi - I think) one on top of the other. I tried the strawberry one. It was not slushy like a regular frozen margarita- it...

    Disney Dining Reviews: The Good, The Bad, The Yummy (and The Yucky!)

    This was our (me, DH, DD11, DD9) second trip to WDW, and unlike our first trip when I didn’t know what a PS was, this trip I made a PS for almost every meal. There is an on-going debate – to make a PS, or to not make a PS… for me, after having experienced both, I much prefer having planned my...

    Loved POR!

    shelleybelle, No, we didn't do the campfire. We were too busy in the parks! Ate at food court once (our first night). The Philly Cheese Steak sandwich was very good. Took pizza back to our room another night. We didn't like the pizza. Asked for extra pepperoni - I think we had 20 slices...

    bus time from POR to Chef Mickie

    Left room at POR at 7pm. Took bus to MK then monorail to Contemporary. Arrived at Chef Mickey's at 7:50pm. Getting back to POR was a nightmare! Since parks were closed had to transfer through DTD. Left Chef Mickey's at 9:15pm. Waited 1/2 hour at Contemporary for bus to DTD. Then waited at...

    Loved POR!

    Just back from POR and I loved this resort. The grounds are beautiful and so peaceful. I had requested bldg #27, second floor, corner room and I got all my requests (except that our corner room had only one window). Excellent location – not too far from main bldg and bus stop, and very quiet...

    Your experiences with Alfredos???

    Two years ago when we first tried Alfredo's, we loved it. We had the fettuccine alfredo and it was delicious. My DH's only restaurant request was that we return to Alfredo's. Unfortunately, this time it was a major disappointment. The fettuccine alfredo was awful - just noodles with stringy...

    Charging to your Room

    Just got back yesterday and I charged everything to my card - including food from the carts (popcorn, mickey bars, etc.) at all the parks. The only food cart that didn't accept the card was the one at Blizzard Beach (donut cart). I love the convenience of charging everything - just don't get a...

    Just Returned From Por!!!!!!

    Lah, I also requested Bldg 27 when I made my reservation. How far is it from main bldg? I'm happy to hear that faxing in your request worked. I think that I'll do the same and request a corner room also! Thanks.

    Dream Maker Package Options

    Please note that if you go to Disney's website, it will not list the Bronze Add-on which is available to Canadian residents only. The Bronze package provides one wish per day (as opposed to two for the Silver package). The cost is US$ 30 per adult and US$24 per child 3-9. Also the Silver...

    Who's going the last week of Feb. Where are you guys?

    Another Northerner escaping the cold and snow! We'll be staying at POR. If last week of Feb. is the same as in 2002, we should be walking on most rides. Can't wait to see single digit on my countdown timer!!

    ?? - 11 year old and child's menu/buffet

    I have a DD who is 11 and looks much older. Do they ever ask for proof of age for children? She will probably eat off the adult menu most of the time, but for buffets, will I have a problem with being charged the child's price? Thanks!

    I did it!!!!

    I think I am an airmiles fanatic!! This year I booked 3 of our 4 flights using airmiles. Sometimes you don't have to book that far in advance-you just have to be lucky (and flexible). I booked 3 tickets end Nov. for our Feb. trip. I couldn't get 3 tickets on the weekend so we're leaving...

    Just back - 5 nts. @ POR.

    Hi TWOOD! So glad to hear good things about POR - we'll be staying there in Feb. I had originally requested AB27 but then read somewhere that this was a smoking building. Is this true? Also, was your room regular or waterview? Thanks.
