    Looking for photos of RPH King Suite

    Can anyone offer any links, or suggest a good search phrase to try? So far I'm batting zero. :) If I'm missing something obvious, I apologize.

    Getting from PBH to Tchoup Chop?

    What would be the intelligent way to get from our room at PBH for a 9pm reservation at Tchoup Chop? We will have a car--should we just drive over there? Thanks!

    O/T? Looking for campgrounds in NW Orlando

    I'm getting ready to move to Orlando. We're going to be in Orlando visiting friends and looking at houses over the Thanksgiving weekend. My parents want to drive up as well in their RV. I'm trying to find them a campsite near my friends' house, and the area we're looking at houses, which is...

    JellyRolls with dueling piano players

    Ah, cool. I had a feeling the place must be more fun with a larger crowd (this was during week of 9/11 this year), but there were only about three tables full. I figured things might loosen up if the crowd were larger... People were really only requesting songs that were already piano-based...

    JellyRolls with dueling piano players

    We tried Jellyrolls on our recent trip, and it wasn't too amusing because the audience wasn't very large, and the people who were requesting songs were requesting stuff like 1970s-era Billy Joel, Abba (not kidding), "What A Wonderful World", Everly Brothers, etc., and it was just sort of...

    Reviews: Emeril's Orlando, California Grill

    Yeah, it's hard for me to mentally get around the cost... When we eat out not on vacation, it tends to be places like Outback and Cheesecake Factory (i.e., most entrees under $20). When the entrees start pushing $40, and the desserts ten bucks, your mind really starts racing. :) As for CG...

    Reviews: Hard Rock Cafe, House Of Blues

    I'd heard good things about Margaritaville and I sort of wanted to try it, but coming from South Florida (and parents live in the Keys), we're already sort of overwhelmed with Jimmy Buffettism. :) I did show the menu to DBF the night we had our "inexpensive" Universal meal, and he wasn't too...

    Reviews: Cheap Eats! Mara, DisneyQuest

    From our trip last week (9/8-9/13): It's hard to find anyone who has much good to say about The Mara, but I thought it was more than acceptable for an inexpensive meal. I had the tandoori chicken pizza several times when we there (although after the first time I asked them not to add the...

    Reviews: Emeril's Orlando, California Grill

    From our trip last week (9/8-9/13): Emeril's and California Grill were our two "expensive" meals during the trip. Emeril's at Citywalk at Universal Orlando was the more expensive of the two, but we ordered off the specials menu which put both our entrees at $40+. DBF felt Emeril's was...

    Reviews: Hard Rock Cafe, House Of Blues

    From our trip last week (9/8-9/13): These are both chain restaurants than in my opinion have very good food at reasonable prices (House of Blues is a bit more expensive over all, but both have many entrees under $20). Both have very friendly wait staff and excellent desserts. We went to...

    Live from AKL, some info tidbits

    Just checking in again with some status reports for those who are interested.... The weather is still LOVELY... Even in the middle of the day, the breeze is nice and the humidity feels way down. We went to Blizzard Beach today around noon and I was actually getting goosebumps from the breeze...

    Boma - WOW!

    Had dinner at Boma for the first time last night, and I LOVED it! They served both the flank steak and prime rib (one rare-ish prime rib roast, one more medium), and both were awesome. The fish was salmon. I absolutely love the flavorings they use, especially the flank steak. I can see how...

    Live from AKL, some info tidbits

    Hi there. We checked into AKL yesterday morning, just thought I'd share our experjence... First of all, our check-in CM was the most unfriendly person I have run into so far at AKL or WDW, everyone else has been wonderful. She was grouchy and curt and interrupted me when I talked. Anyway...

    LIVE from the Hard Rock (room pics!)

    We are in a King Deluxe, which I believe sleeps 2 only. The couches don't appear to fold out. Today it seems like the hotel has really emptied out, even compared to yesterday. We spent a while in the pool this afternoon during prime pool time, there were only 2 or 3 other groups around the...

    Anyone know about the weather?

    The mornings or when it is overcast is not bad... When the sun comes out, it is still hot, humid, and miserable... And that walk back to HRH from IOA seems much longer than you'd think when you're baking in the afternoon sun. :)

    LIVE from the Hard Rock (room pics!)

    Checked into the Hard Rock Hotel this morning, wanted to share a quick report and some room pics. We got a Deluxe King, and the room is MUCH nicer than I expected based on reports I have read here. As you can see, we got the white duvet cover, not the green bedspread. The room has a great...

    My friend thinks I'm nutz . . . . .

    Nothing is more annoying than when you're really trying to make things work out nicely for everyone (i.e., by planning), and someone has to take cheap shots at you and call you crazy or imply you're a control freak. I travelled to New Orleans with a friend who insisted on this free-spirited...
