1. I would highly recommend that you go to the Resort Sticky’s that Schumigirl has set up and look at all the Resorts. She has all the information you need to find the best Resort that matches your taste.
2. I would second the above suggestion about staying at one of the deluxe Resorts for the Unlimited Express Pass that is included in your stay....PBH, RPR, HRH.
All the regulars here have their own favorite Resort they like to stay at. I’am partial to Portofino Bay and Sapphire Falls (does not have Unlimited EP).
3. All deluxe Resorts as well as Sapphire Falls have water taxi service to CityWalk/Parks.
4. Mytho’s at IOA is a good sit down service meal.
5. Chicken and Ribs meal at Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade is good.
6. Cowfish and Toothesome at CityWalk are good.
7. Read ruthies12 post to get the most out of your Wizarding World experience.
8. Some of my favorite rides in US are Escape from Gringotts in Diagon Alley, MIB, ET, Transformers.
in IOA Spider-Man, Kong, Jurassic Park Adventure.
9. Food at RPR....Orchids has very good sushi, Jakes and Islands diningroom has good food also.
10. Food at PBH, Sal’s have very good pizza, Moma della’s good.
11. Food at SFH..Buffet Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner are very good at Amitista. Strong Water Tavern cocktails are yummy as well as the tapas.
12. Pool side cocktails and food are very good at Portofino Bay beachside and Villa pool.
This will get you started. More folks will jump in and help.
