I’m not weird I swear, but I just liked a video on your fb profile to remind myself to watch tomorrow!

My “pay in full” day was yesterday for my June 9 trip, according to MDE. I’ve seen people say that full isn’t actually due until closer to checkin, but I changed my dates yesterday instead of making the final payment. With all of the uncertainty around opening, I just felt more comfortable...

I didn’t wait to be cancelled...my daughter and I were scheduled for June 9-13. I spoke to my Dreams agent on the phone this morning and we are now rescheduled for October. No special recovery promo at the moment, but she said she will apply it if/when they launch one. A bit sad that we don’t...

Just finished our first day at universal, and we had a blast! Crowds seemed to build up mid afternoon, but with Express pass we hit all of the Harry Potter rides with ease. We spent our morning at Volcano Bay and ate lunch at City Walk, so we entered USF around 12:15. By 4:00 we were back in our...

Good to know! We leave tomorrow, and I'm optimistic about the crowds.

My daughter and I have stayed at Yacht Club twice (including once on club level), and we will be checking in at Portofino Bay this week for our first Universal trip. We LOVE Yacht Club, but I keep hearing how PB surpasses it. I'll let you know what we think once we get there, but the photos...

I agree, I can't wait to meet him (and/or his team)! They're like celebrities around here!:teeth:

Thanks! It feels like a very “Disboards” vacation: Tony’s picking us up at the airport and we are upgrading our tix to APs for a room discount. :D :thanks:

This time next week I’ll be on my way to Portofino for my first Universal trip! We were initially spending our first two nights at cabana bay, but yesterday I found an APH discount room for all six nights that saved me $100. Thank you to all of you for the advice and information, I’m so excited!

I've scheduled a round-trip from MCO to Universal in June, and the price I was quoted (not including tip) was $100. I don't know how much it would cost to add the transfer...maybe another $50?

I finally emailed him today for our trip (4 weeks from today, not that I'm counting lol!). I made sure to pass along your name, and I mentioned that he is beloved around here :). ETA: Tony's response time was a whopping 8 minutes...I'm very impressed so far! His rate was the exact same as...

You have to cancel and rebook, and they will refund deposit.

Not sure what the date range is, but I'm very excited to have cancelled my existing reservation and rebooked at Portofino! My old reservation was 6/7 - 6/13 at Cabana Bay for $1,409.52 (family suite SMSM) New reservation is 6/8 - 6/13 at Portofino Bay for $1,737.08 (Deluxe King room) We arrive...

Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed TR! It will certainly come in handy on my upcoming trip .

I'm also attempting to wait patiently...

@macraven I know I'm quoting a very old post, but I just wanted to say thank you for giving such an in-depth description of your experience! DD10 and I will be traveling alone in June, so safety is definitely a concern :). I'm going to have to call Tony to see if he's available for our trip!

@natebenma It's official...we are booked for our December trip: YC CL 12/13 - 12/21 :). To be honest, I'd be perfectly fine with getting the exact same room again. I know some people would not want to be at the very end of the hall, but it was nice and quiet!

Alcohol was always available, but I don't think any beer was kept in the refrigerator during the day. However, there were always 2-3 cast members working in the lounge so we never had to wait for a drink.

The second photo (little green bowls) is Mushroom duxelle in spinach fillo. DH said they were tasty, but I just took his word for it! Breakfast had yogurt with mixings, hot oatmeal with mixings (raisins, brown sugar, etc.), and grits every morning. There were varying cold breakfast meats and...

Agreed, I loved the beef and potatoes! The pork was also delicious, and I'm a picky eater :). It was a standard view CL room, but my travel agent must have requested a King bed and rollaway cot (I didn't make any room requests, but there cast member said there were notes in the computer). I...
