Something Wicked this MAY Comes! 18 nights @ RPR & SFR. An April/May 2025 TR

The only reason I go on the Dis anymore is for your TRs, Carole! I actually caught myself up on this one tonight while enjoying our final night at Portofino Bay! We popped over for a quick birthday trip for me and while my toddler loved the pools, your report is making me wish we stayed at RPR again! I truly think it’s the best of the on-property resorts.

I am so sorry to hear about your panic attack! I got struck with a fainting spell at Sea World in Texas as a teen and like you, it was only the other patrons who helped me, not team members.

Thank you so much for the detailed experience of your time at Helios! I could feel your enjoyment for it through the screen!
 
Starlink failing me today Can't get quotes to work properly

great updates

like the featured statue salute, too many guests have zero knowledge of U's history, it's surprising

We all have our quirks. Can't help it, some people do manage to make my teeth clench by the most innocuous habits

We spent far too much time playing on Lily pads...bud-weis-er. Showed a couple kids 'the way'. One parent didn't appear to be appreciative Hmmph lighten up lol

Oh, to have WDW resorts honor a do not disturb sign again! Sounds like some people will try anything to get over. So much effort wasted when they could be enjoying their vacation. Makes you wonder

Glad you have the internet though, we`re all lost without it, but it is nice to have a break from it now and again, but maybe not out at sea, that`s an essential!!

I agree, some folks know zero about the history of Universal especially with their movies and how they influenced everything. The history of all these legends are amazing to know, very interesting.

Years ago, a TM told us she had an adult ask her if that statue of Lew was Walt Disney.....lol.....I can easily believe it!! She said she was speechless and almost agreed but just couldn`t.

Oh agree people can irk you for many reasons, but people being a messy or noisy eater is something I can`t deal with, especially in a quiet environment. But, yes, it doesn`t take much at times lol....

Heck, I`d forgotten "Bud....weis.....eeeeerrrrrrrr" lol.....that was funny!!! Goodness yes, some folks don`t appreciate fun at times.

Agree again, some of the tales we`ve been told over the years about guests and their antics, I would be ashamed, but their priortities seem to be getting something for free. It`s no surprise they end up on a special type of list!!!!

Hope the trip is continuing to be as fabulous and you`re both still having a wonderful trip!!

That was sweet of the other guests to check on your wellbeing after Gringotts. It’s a shame the TM’s didn’t perform better though - panic attacks can’t be that rare an occurrence in the parks so I’m sure it must form some part of their training :(

Adding a rum neuralyser to my to do list…

Yes, I think everyone saw it happen, but the young lads were a nice surprise especially due to their lack of English. I agree, I`m sure they deal with that and worse every day, it annoyed Tom that she just basically ignored him.

You`ll love that drink!!!! 🥰

:welcome: back klacey

Well, it is good to see you and praise indeed....I`ll take it happily :worship:

That`s not good to hear about your SW experience, it`s a shame when that happens. Being honest we`ve always found the TM to be brilliant in those cases. I had an awful experience on Simpsons way back, I was clinging on to the wall before dropping lol....quite the sight I imagine, but the TM`s there were brilliant and chased after Tom and Kyle who were oblivious :rotfl:

Helios was amazing, loved it and we spent more time there on our Epic day which is coming up soon, beautiful hotel and gorgeous food and drink options!!

:bday: glad to hear you`re having a nice trip to PB, always nice to celebrate a birthday and what a lovely place to be. Yes, the pools are nice there but like you, I do still prefer RP, maybe next trip you`ll be back there.

Really glad to see you and lovely to read your comments, don`t be a stranger :wave2:
