Praying for all of my fellow Floridians to stay safe during this storm.

Thank you and same to you. 💜

Thanks AJ! Stay safe all of you there at DFB! I do not know if y'all are there in Florida or not, weathering this hurricane! But if so, My prayers are with you for staying safe! Praying WDW weathers well through all this. I'm staying there in December (2nd-14th) at All Star Movies Resort! My prayers for all my brothers/sisters there in Florida! Dear Lord keep them all safe. I've always had a love for Florida. As a former Floridian from Clearwater Fl., for 10 years. Living now in LA California! Stay safe my friends! 🙏

Absolutely- any time I travel anywhere, it's indoor hallways all the way. Much safer, especially when I travel solo.

French Quarter is my favorite Moderate because of the small size, fun theming, and beignets! It's also great not to have to deal with an internal bus loop.

@dfbbreea 3 дня назад

It’s like the comfort food of Disney hotels

@BC-te9ow 2 дня назад

Yep. One convenient bus stop out front.

Yeah, that small size is definitely a plus. Just refurbished the rooms, too. They look very nice.

CBR also has a hot tub, it's small but it's located behind the big slide allowing for a quiet area.

We love French Quarter, because it's quiet. We never dealt with noise over there. We also love those Royal Rooms at Riverside though. When I pictured what a Disney room looked like before I ever got to go, this is how I imagined it. Very magical!

@parkerwalker5128 3 дня назад

Stay safe! Get to higher ground if you have to. This is going to be a big one. Don’t play with it. Leave if you have to, there is still time. 🙏

@patriciaromero5347 День назад

I remember when i was booking our vacation that port orleans (really discounted) and pop century had the same price in rooms. We opted for pop century because of the skyliner, i had recently watched many of your videos and remembered about the many stops the bus had in port orleans, as we didnot have a car, the option was clear where to stay. When we were checking in the cast member told us that she hoped we had a very happy stay…i replied “it would be happier if we got a room near the buses” she laughed and gave us a room real close. ❤😂

Stayed at Riverside last week with my family of 6. Absolutely beautiful grounds but a lot of walking. Definitely not for the weak. Room was a lot smaller than we are used to but we still had a great time! The no elevators was a bummer too. All in all, I give the resort a 7.6 out of 10

Some people make Target a destination vacation. We all know that one person who LOVES Target and lives that life style.

@rachelking6705 6 часов назад

We loved our stay in a Royal Room at Port Orleans. The grounds were beautiful. It was quiet. We'll worth the price and I would highly recommend.

@dawnpowers7626 2 дня назад

My parents (60s), my daughter (about 5) and I (30s) stayed in one of the "mansions" when Port Orleans Riverside was still Dixie Landings. Really liked it. It was calm and we were right next to a quiet pool, which was perfect for my daughter to realize she LOVED the water. The boat to "Downtown DIsney" qualified as a ride for my daughter, as well. Never made it to Port Orleans, French Quarter. We didn't need it.

@jayneestrycker8691 3 дня назад

Stayed at CS for the first time in August. I know people love it, but it was a one and done for us. I paid for a standard 2 queen room. Also requested to be near transportation for medical reasons. We were in the furthest building from transportation and they put us in a king room. Had to sleep with my adult son the whole trip. Not crazy about that.

@rwbashaw66 3 дня назад

@tomfisher8638 3 дня назад

Hate to tell you this AJ, but Caribbean Beach also has a hot tub! And it’s also not as big as everyone keeps going on about (at most a 10 min walk from anywhere you need to be) AND it’s right next to the Riviera which has some incredible dining options including a character breakfast! Best value resort in my opinion!

@jds9174 2 дня назад

I agree - depending on where you stay at Caribbean Beach, you are walking distance to all the Riviera restaurants as well and Primo Piatto has the best quick service breakfast on property IMO!

@jds9174 2 дня назад

Plus if you are a big Hollywood Studios fan or Epcot fan the skyliner is so worth it!

@alexbrown1930 2 дня назад

I mean, it isn't that big..it just feels it when you have been walking all day, come back, and then have to walk those 10 extra minutes, after having had to walk to probably the furthest away bus stop...it feels like so much more when you are exhausted..

@mdf3530 2 дня назад

If I were staying the Aruba section of CBR, I’d probably use the Riviera Resort’s food and transportation options. I am still thinking about that croque monsieur I had at Primo Piatto.

@garystocker9450 2 дня назад

Yes. I requested a room close to that...and are considering using the Riviera bus stop if we are close..so we don't need to worry about crowded busses...Aruba is the last stop on the loop.

@councilofkarens729 3 дня назад

We stayed at Caribbean Beach in 2018, having visiting and staying off-park. I've been watching news and reviews of the poor cleanliness and maintenance of the parks in the last few years. Plus so many beloved attractions are either being ripped out, or butchered with poorly thought out IP re-skinning. Considering going to Florida in 2025 or 2026, but thinking about Universal for that visit, rather than WDW. Makes me sad, but here we are.

AJ, why do you not mention Carribean Beach's big secret: they have Freestyle Machines in their vending areas that work with your re-fillabke mugs. No other resort has that!

@memarinemom2421 19 часов назад

Destino Tower is our favorite for all the reasons you’ve mentioned, but it’s becoming too pricey! On our upcoming trip next month, it will be our first time staying at a value resort and hoping we don’t regret it. Thanks for the video and have a Magical Day!

@vincent412l7 2 дня назад

Exterior doors are more substabtial than interior doors. Extrrior doors have to deal with the weather (and rain) and are thicker and tight-fitting. Interior doors can be thinner and have spaces around the door, which lets more noise through.

@amydoran9987 3 дня назад

My husband and I have stayed at Coronado springs, we would never stay there again. Broken drink machines poor food choices and buses that took an hour or more to get to the parks. We have stayed at values that were far better Pop century and the suites at Art of animation, were both great. On most of our trips we have stayed at the wilderness lodge. I agree, the indoor hallways are important.

WE LOVE THE FRENCH QUARTER and i could come and go as I please and not get lost! It helped that my room was centrally located....(i got lost like one time, but never again, its not that hard to learn the lay of the land so i get to come and go as I please...its very nice....the music can get annoying, but other then that that´s nothing earbuds cant solve...also the food OMG the weird part though the bathrooms.... The only problem (for a short adult such as myself) is the beds WHY are the beds so high up?!

@NisaNJames 2 дня назад

I feel like if you’re going to pay really high prices for a Disney hotel, then you may as well get all of the benefits and that would mean paying the deluxe prices. I loved staying at Port Orleans, but I’m just not sure it’s worth it anymore. The prices keep going up and the benefits don’t. we are looking at a trip to Orlando next year, I just don’t see us paying for a Disney hotel.

@chriskinney-hermes5286 3 дня назад

@vwood2 2 дня назад

Thanks - these videos have been very helpful! We’re seniors staying at C Beach for our very first visit to Disney in January. Very exciting 😊 Unfortunately food restrictions accumulate with age, medications, etc. Is it possible to find fruit, salads, vegetables and non deep fried food at Disney?? Everything looks good, but wouldn’t work for us.

@dfbbreea 2 дня назад

Absolutely!! In fact, some of our favorite foods are salad options! You’ve got the famous Cobb Derby Salad at Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios, the 1981 Salad at Homecomin’ (Homecomin’ also has a Key West Shrimp Cocktail I LOVE - made with lots of fruits and veggies), The Chicken Waldorf Salad at The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom, and SO MUCH MORE! There’s even a Calypso Salad with Jerk Chicken you can pick up at Banana Cabana that’s pretty tasty - and that’ll be located at your resort! :D

Can anyone answer this question? Let's say I book an onsite hotel for myself and a friend. But I have another friend that will be meeting us at the parks the next day and not staying with us, nor on an onsite hotel. Since me and my friend are staying onsite, I can book us lightning lanes 7 days in advance. But if I wanted to book LL's for my other friend as well, who is not staying onsite, will I still be able to include her when I book 7 days in advance?

@rvbcabo0se 3 дня назад

i think everyone has to be linked to your room for it to allow you to book lightning lanes in advance

@lucytruex3134 3 дня назад

Like what that person said, I believe they have to be linked to your room or on your party via the My Disney Experience app. But even if your friend is not actually staying in the room or paying for it, I think if you add their name onto your party you can get LL's for everyone.
