Where is Dino Land? Early Spring Trip 2/27-3/9/25! Updated 5/17*

[disneyAndi14]

Our trip was March 9-13, just after your trip, and I was surprised to have some cool mornings. It was great weather.

We did just miss you. The weather was beautiful a little chilly at times which I am not use to at Disney since we travel at hot times mostly! Like soon!

The dip looks delicious.

This was delicious, we loved it!

This would be a huge negative. It would be hard to stay there for multiple days. They probably stuck you in that room since you were only there for one night. We had a room that faced the highway when we were at Disneyland. But the noise was minimal. They had installed a double set of windows.

It was really bad! I can’t believe they don’t have better windows in a room that is all windows facing a busy road, ugh!

I don't love the hot weather, which is why we can tolerate only one summer trip a year. At least the summer clothes are easier to pack than the winter ones.

Have a great time! We will once again be following you - June 8-12.

It is definitely easier to pack without a ton of layers! I hope you have a wonderful trip. It will be hot for you to!

Oh no! Never have that problem with Disney no matter where you're staying which is kind of nice. I wouldn't have been thinking of this but now you have me wondering for my July trip we're staying at Sapphire Falls and I wonder if we'll have that same issue

My stay at SF was wonderful in December, I did have a water view and it was very quiet!

Oh that is bad

I hated that room haha

Thanks for sharing! It was fun to follow along!

I’m glad to see you back on the boards and as always it was wonderful to see you December!

Have so much fun! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Thank you! I leave tomorrow. It is a short trip for me but I have several more after this one!

Your room noise is one of the reasons I always sleep with a white noise app. But I also just can't sleep if the room is completely quiet. I guess I hate hearing myself breathe???

I should have a white noise machine for travel! The older I get any noise irritates me from others/roads in a hotel!

I'm glad you had a nice last day. And I love the picture of the lake as you get into Duluth. I miss lakes. After growing up in MN, it's weird that the last 2 states I lived in basically don't have lakes. Maybe that explains my pool obsession???

I usually always arrive home after dark so this was really nice to see the big lake! The lake is really beautiful to look at, to cold to ever go in, lol

Anyway, have a great trip! I hope to see you in a week!

Thank you! I hope to see you Sunday night or Monday!

We will be switching again in September to stay at the new Helios in Epic!

Oh! Cool!

The hot butterbeer is by far my favorite

Some day…..

It is terrible! I heard it is being replaced? I hope so!

Me too. Waste of space.

Unlike Disney, Universal’s unlimited EP allows you to ride everything multiple times, no limit like FP$$ and even the new Ultimate FP$$.

This is something Disney needs to stand up and pay attention to.

This was our view. The picture is through the window so not the best! Room number was 3457

I had almost the exact same room/view when I stayed there. Such a perfect location!

The boat transportation was the plan! The boats are awesome at Universal. Never a long wait and a nice calm ride to Citywalk.

I adore the boat transport there. So easy, convenient, and at times FUN!

Our first ride was ET! We love this ride. I always have to start with this ride.

That may be my favorite ride there!

No smart TVs at PB so we had to endure commercials!

LOL! 1st world problems.

This is when tragedy struck. I noticed I only had one gift card in my wallet! I searched every little spot in my tiny wallet, (it basically is just a card holder with one zipped pocket) so after several checks and separating my other cards I knew it wasn’t there. I checked my HP crossbody bag inside and out! Oh my goodness it was no where to be found! I had paid $120 for it and it had $150 on it. Needless to say this did put a damper on our delicious food.

Just ugh. I know that punch-in-the-gut feeling.

I went in to plead my case. First they checked with lost and found and nothing, the TM did take my receipt looked at it and said wait here. Well, we waited about 20 minutes and she came back with a new card with the $150 on it! Wow I was really happy. She canceled the other one in case someone tried to use it and gave me the new one! I thanked her many times and I felt so much better! I honestly to this day don’t know what happened to it!

That was SO nice of her! She definitely went the extra mile and that makes me so happy!

But, yeah, that's super odd! I've had that happen too with things just vanishing.

That

Sigh... lovely!

It was a big room but incredibly noisy. We closed the curtains to try and buffer some of the traffic noise. It helped a little but it even sounded at times like airplanes were taking off on that road! Ugh

Just bad. I stayed in a room at Endless Summer once. Same thing, but neighbor noise. THE WORST!! So bad I asked to change. Do they NOT pay attention at all to the noise factor at this resort?

I put my earplugs in at bedtime and hoped for a little sleep. I think I got a few hours.

Any hotel room you have to wear earplugs in is a bad hotel.
