They don’t ever ask, but if you request a room , I’m sure they would accommodate. It’s rare that they don’t. Maybe you’ll have to wait a few minutes extra. 20 days - so excited for you! I’d love to hear the highlights and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

Dawn is awesome. She is fun and full of Disney spirit…Plus she puts up with me!

It was very pretty and elegant. I will have to say It made me feel better about having a full meal in there at some point.

Thank you 😊

The funny thing is, I don't even know how good it is! I mean, it's pizza so it will be good, but is it the same as Via Napoli? No idea. I just always thought that it was a missed opportunity to not have slices available in Italy, and then you hear they do have a window, it's just never open, then after they say it's open all summer, it's closed the minute I get there. Maybe it's just the universe telling me to lose a few pounds lol.

@@niceworkpal5218 😂😂🤣🤣

Oh I'll get there if it's the last thing I do lol!

I’ll give you the food- the beignets were not amazing. But I’ll respectfully disagree on the ride. I think it was a step up from what it was. Lastly, yes Disney can be expensive, especially if you’re not feeling the magic. This is our happy place so feel free to check back and see what’s going on there. May you find your happy place!

Wow, we really liked it...We liked the state of the art update as well as the original story that wasn't a rehash of the movie. But hey everyone has different tastes. I will ride it for you haha!

After our stay, I’m considering that too!

Lol thank you! Yes it can be work, but usually we are having a blast. We do have some first world problems like being too full to eat what we planned. And yes we are usually on the lookout for things we might not have shown before. Disney Springs is full of those places!

8 days IS a long time in that room. We were in there 3 nights and it was great, but I don’t know where I would have put 8 days worth of stuff lol. I bet you’ll enjoy the bigger room!

Great comparison…I don’t know if we can ever bring ourselves to stay there when there are so many other great choices out there!

If you ever decide to stay there, that room will still be the economical choice…since your not DVC, check out David’s DVC rentals…you can “rent” DVC points and it’s cheaper than booking direct with Disney. Thanks for watching - more Disney fun coming up!

It was a nice place to stay - other than not having a lot of room to spread out our luggage it was perfect. I’d stay there every time just to be at the Riviera! Hey, thanks for watching and stay tuned for more adventures!

Thanks…I’ll always talk about DVC. The only thing I like more is doing the on-site research 😂

No you would have 2 contracts, each with the ability to book the home resort at 11 months. BUT you can bank points and borrow ahead, so you could use up to 3 years of points for poly, then use Saratoga points the next year. There’s always a strategy!

It was a lot of fun. There are some awesome ones out there…a lot of them are very big with many rooms. I’d love to check ‘em out but I need more friends 😂

You are correct…but if I was buying direct I would buy the newest ones and get the 50 years. With resales you need to check because they are typically older and you will be choosing from a wide variety of expiration dates. They are all ok if the price is right!

We didn’t see um. 😂 seriously though we read that it was their season but we had no problems with them

Thank you…the Italian music is inspiring 😂

Thank you! It helps to be in recording in such a fun and beautiful place!

We want to stay there…that pool area looks so amazing. Best restaurants, close to Epcot…not sure why I haven’t stayed there yet! But it’s on my list. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! It’s great to hear from the people who watch, but extra special to hear when we are sharing some enjoyment. We have lots of plans for upcoming adventures and we look forward to hearing from you, to say what you liked, or want to see if anything in particular.

Maybe my hands got bigger 😂 in all seriousness I May be thinking farther than 2010. I’ve been going a long time!

Which is surprising because I take my vacationing very seriously 😂

It’s been a long time coming! The World Discovery area is beautiful and feels very open now. I am looking forward to see how they use this area for festivals.

Lol this streetcar has a big trunk!

Thanks for subscribing! Always nice to meet a fellow DVC member too…Nice to know there are others that share the Disney obsession lol!

Haha I knew I couldn’t be the only one! Thanks for watching!

Oh how exciting! Waiting is so hard but I always love having a Disney trip to look forward too! Anything you are looking forward to the most? And yes, England is kind of a regular stop for us! 🍺

There’s a lot of new rides - we haven’t been since 2019 - big Star Wars fans and also Guardians - Hagrids in universal - it’s going to cost a fortune!

We once did a longer than usual trip where we did a lot and to this day we still jokingly refer to it as the most expensive vacation ever. But I wouldn’t change any one of those memories! Those rides you are looking forward to are all amazing- I’m excited for you!

Animal Kingdom has a lot of great treasures. This tour was great and the video didn't do justice to the actual views! We are excited to do more here. Thanks again for watching us!

Thank you! I’ll try to keep making mistakes 😂

Future buyers will not be as fortunate though! The rules keep getting more strict. Resale is great for getting cheaper points for sure. But not everyone will get grandfathered in

It’s not the most intense, which is why I’m puzzled when people get sick on it. But it’s so cool and fun!

Smooth yet exciting! I hope I’m still riding it at 77. I feel bad for the handful of folks that get sick on this, but for us it’s fun and exhilarating!

Thank you! Coronado was a daunting challenge because there is so much! We still didn’t get to the Maya Grill and 3 bridges will be in our next video, but that’s part of what makes it a great resort to stay at. You can really spend some time here! And yes 400! Thanks for being one of our subscribers! It’s always great to find new Disney friends!

Thank you! We will keep making them because we love Disney too!

It was impressive!

Thanks for watching! We really just wanted to talk about it because it’s our absolute favorite ride in the galaxy!

We could definitely share more pricing- I’m usually more focused on taste, but value is important to know!

It was the best spot! Like being outside except with air conditioning 😂

The prize included 4 nights total so the other 3 nights were at the resort if our choice, which we chose Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was a standard Savannah room. The prize also included 5 days of park tickets plus water parks, flights, a 500 gift card, and a gift basket. For taxes, we got a form that valued the trip between 7 and 8 thousand dollars, so that was added similar to income on our taxes. I gave up trying to dissect how they arrived at the amount. It honestly seemed low to me considering all we got! And no we did not have to leave the magic kingdom after breakfast…it was basically a free day because we were already inside the park. We left MK early afternoon to head to Art of Animation, where we had paid to extend our trip…which they helped us arrange with a big room discount and the flight back was scheduled for the end of the whole trip.

​@@niceworkpal5218 WOW! How incredible!!! I just entered a contest that is similar to this, but sounds like you got a WAAAY better deal! I'm so happy that you and your family were able to experience this! Thank you so much for replying 🙏🩵

Hey thanks for watching and good luck!!!

​@@niceworkpal5218 thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏

There’s a similar situation in SeaWorld too, I’m not really sure why they do this, other than to try and make a few extra bucks. If I had to pay tomorrow I would not, but that’s because I know. I’m sure they make money on people who think it must be worth it if they’re charging extra.

Well worth it. All the money goes directly back into the maintenance of the 1974 Von Roll Skyride. 1 of 9 left of its type. Historical ride

@@vonrollskyway1I see your point about preserving a classic ride. But I at the end of the day I wish it was included for all. I’d rather the ticket prices go up to whatever they need to be, rather than encounter hidden fees.

+@INeverside I would agree that if I was going to pick one and was going primarily for food, I’d pick Epcot. But I go to both. I’ve had mixed luck at BG, but one thing I learned is that the pricing is ok with the lanyard/food passes, but paying cash at each booth is way too expensive. I’ve also learned to go up and look at what’s being served. While they might not be Epcot, I do appreciate when a theme park tries harder to have more than basic burgers and fries!
