Disney Fantasy Port Adventure: Exploring Tortola
The time stamps are excellent! But next time consider doing the 76 minutes of research required to see the (absolutely amazing) film before doing a negative review of something like this. It looks fantastic to me, and I'm glad it has a high attendance.
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to watch the video and to comment. I have no doubt the film is amazing. And I'm glad that it looks like something that you would enjoy. As a Disney fan, I've experienced any number of attractions, rides and shows based upon movies that I've not yet seen and have thoroughly enjoyed them. This one, was simply a miss for me.
I adore this lounge. Particularly when there’s a delay. I was sh the other lounges in other cities could be more like this!
Hi, thanks for watching! I agree completely, it really does make delays a little more bearable, doesn't it?
Wow, I am really surprised that you went and never seen the film? Hmmm.
As a Disney fan we went thinking we would be able to enjoy the storytelling even though we had not seen the movie. Much the same as we enjoy the rides and experiences in the parks without having seen all if the movies those are based on.
NY here ! where is the mini golf at the RNDY? That looks soooo kool! my cruise will be there literally April 2 2025
Hi EM! It's right near Snorkel Park, the beach at RNDY. Once you through the arch way you should see the signs. The beach is straight ahead and the golf course is along a path to the left on the other side of the opening. Have fun!
@@familytravelpursuits8318 is the gold course a MINI gold course?? or just a small practice range ?
@@familytravelpursuits8318 also… lol is horse shoe beach the same beach that you are referring to? I just saw a trolley video where the trolley is free and Feb trolley goes around the island. the trolley is there when you come off the cruise ship
New here to your channel!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi EM! Thanks for joining the ride!
Can I get legacy Sabers here ?
Hi Andrea, I don't recall seeing the fancy light sabers here. There may have been a few of the plastic ones that light up but definitely not the ones with the special hilts. Thanks for watching!
THE PALEY MUSEUM
Thanks for watching.
Melba Moore
Starting in 2025 on the Breakaway, and probably the Getaway too, Shanghai's noodle bar will no longer be complementary. Disappointing because I had the expectation it would be free when I booked my cruise in 2024 for the spring of 2025.
Say it isn't so! We're headed back to the Breakaway post 2025 and that's disappointing to hear. Thanks for sharing!
2 words - SOLAR PANELS.
Come to carolina
Well dont they both hate the yankees lol
Yes and the Yankees made it to the series. So as a New Yorker, I feel obligated to cheer them on. Thanks for watching!
Been there - if you go to Boston, you have to visit the Old State House
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The Old State House really is a gem in the heart of Boston.
It cost me 1500 of my Amtrak points for Myself and my wife definitely worth it. Relaxing and we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast before the ride.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s always nice to hear how others enjoy their journeys. I’m glad you both had a great time!
Can you fund our family trip
While that's not in the cards, I do appreciate you watching.
I waited for Disney annual pass next year
Hi Eden, thanks for sharing. I hope the time flies until you get your next pass and get to enjoy all of the fun!
Looks delish
Le Bistro can be very tasty. Thanks for watching!
Only been here once a few years ago for an interview. I never got to explore the whole place. Idk if anythings changed since then. But its amazing. How many floors do they have Whats the interview process like. I'm thinking of applying for a job here Wow I thought this one was the biggest. You would think it is I mean its New York. Its still big tho regardless
Hi, this store has 3 stories. I was surprised to find that the larger store is in London. This store is plenty big, there is a lot going on in there. Thanks for watching!
@@familytravelpursuits8318 hey. Ok thank you. Yes i was suprised to that the London location is the biggest. I'm surprised they didn't make ny the biggest location I mean it's ny
Im going😊
Safe travels on our trip and we hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching!
every year for the too years I been coming up here I get the same nasty lady at the desk asking why was I sent up here and like I don't have money and the nice red cap helps me with my bags on to my train from now on im just going to talk to the other person at the desk and not her because she is very unprofessional and nasty
oh forgot to mention great video thank you
No worries! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks again for watching!
Wouldn’t it be great if they had the first class lounge like they do when other bigger stations? For people in sleepers and rewards folks. Then it wouldn’t seem so crowded in the station anyway.
Absolutely! A first-class lounge would definitely enhance the travel experience and provide a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of the station. Thanks for watching!
Such a beautiful resort!
Right? It is my fav! Thanks for watching!
Congrats!!!!🎉
Is the diner complimentary or extra?
Hi John, it depends on which restaurant. The main dining rooms along with the buffet are all included in the cost of your cabin. If you'd like to try any of the specialty dining restaurants like, Le Bistro, Cagney's or Teppanyaki just to name a few, those are an additional charge. The NCL website should have a full list of the complementary vs. paid options on each of their ships as well as the latest fees. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Scrap Plastic 😂
Hi Chris, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I don't think it's worth it at all. The paid bloggers I'm sure traveling for free is a good deal. Try to avoid these people.
Hi Gary, thank you for sharing your thoughts! As we paid out of pocket for the trip, I'm still go back and forth on the value vs. cost. For us, it beat sitting in the car for the long ride home.
we use to take it often going to see our son in Florida. We always got the sleeper room with the bathroom, so convenient. the dining car was a nice experience and allowed you to meet other folks on the train. I always considered it a part of our vacation experience and not just alternate transportation. we eventually moved to Florida, so haven't taken it in a while, but would love to ride it again.
Thank you for sharing your lovely experience! It’s amazing how travel can create such cherished memories. I hope you get to relive those moments on the train again soon! Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this! My wife and I have been dreaming about going on a Disney cruise for about ten years now and this video just gave me that final push to book this exact room! 😄
Hi Robert! Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled that my video could inspire you and your wife to finally book that dream cruise. We hope that you have an amazing time! Thanks for watching!
Heading there tomorrow for opening day. 🎉🎉🎉Wonderful video!! Thank you so much for all the information! My favorite would also be the Hawaiian pork sliders!! 🍃🌺🍃 Big thumbs up! 👍🏼
Hi Krissy! Thank you for your kind words! I'm happy to hear you found the information helpful. I hope you enjoyed the opening day and those amazing Hawaiian pork sliders!
They should speak to Publix and have a deli open there during the times the auto train will be leaving so passengers can take some food with them.
Hi Cassie! Thanks for watching and sharing your suggestion! It would be a game changer for travelers to have fresh food options right near the station before hopping on the train.
I love Food and Wine Festival, thank you for sharing!
Hi Jenna! Thanks for watching, we love eating and drinking around the World Showcase. We can't wait to get back to WDW. I hope you get a chance to visit the festival this year. And from one Disney fan to another; good luck with your channel!
I am headed back to Istanbul in November. Turkish Airlines' partner is JetBlue. I paid an extra $94.00 each for the Even More Space seats for my departing and my return flights. I hope it is worth the extra money for these seats, especially on my return flight home from JFK to Phoenix because I am always so exhausted from the long flight from Istanbul to JFK.
Hi! Thanks for watching and sharing your travel plans! I hope you find those seats worth every penny. For our family, I insist on them when flying JetBlue, getting on the flight earlier to snag an overhead bin spot and being able to stretch our legs make it worth it for us. Wishing you a smooth and enjoyable journey!
Waiting time is wasting time.
Hi Peter, thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks decent. Concourse eateries are a MASSIVE rip off. You'll pay $20 for a sandwich and water so pay a bit more and use the lounge.
Right?! I couldn't agree with you more. The food was decent, it was comfortable and quiet. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just booked r/t Bwi to NYP on regular NE business class.....the discounted Acela was only at crazy times like 6 AM
Hi! 6am is extreme even for me. It sounds like you found a good option with business class. Thanks for sharing, its always helpful to hear how others are navigating their journeys. I hope you have a great time in NYC and thanks for watching!
Looks like you had fun, thanks for sharing.
Hi Ken! Thank you for watching! I'm really happy you enjoyed the video.
beautiful video and loved your narration! such a lovely voice! our family is planning a cruise on disney and I am grateful to see reviews for restaurants with unique dishes for diverse palates - thanks for sharing!🎉
Hi Lauren! Thank you for watching and your comments on the video and my narration. I'm very happy that you found the video helpful as you plan for your Disney cruise. We're wishing you and your family an amazing time on your Disney cruise filled with delicious meals!
I had the opportunity of taking this train from Lorton VA to Sanford Fl a few tears ago. I was on a mission to pick up my niece from Miami Airport and drive back home with her new puppy. I had a great experience! I did my homework and planned my trip. I drove from LI NY to Lorton the day before, about five hours. Spent the afternoon and night in a hotel 2 minutes away from the train. They had a refreshing pool and a plethora of food and drink options within a 10-minute radius. I had a great night's sleep, and a very nice breakfast even got to give my car a quick wash across the street. Went back to the shopping center where I bought food and a bottle of whiskey for my train ride. I also brought my portable DVD player with a few movies to watch. The WIFI isn't great on the train. I had a bedroom with toilet and shower. The meals were, Ok? But the wine flowed freely! Just be really nice to your servers! And tip them!! Also tip your attendant! Mine was incredibly helpful with my luggage, as well as, giving me tips to make my trip more enjoyable. I did eat all my meals in the dining car. It helps to keep yourself from feeling closed in! I also met a lot of interesting people! My trip was 17 hrs. Arrived just on time! I would do it again if I needed to!
White lady please
Thanks for dropping a comment. I appreciate your engagement
Other than the bathroom area, it reminds me of a sleeper on a semi 13:39 14:25
That's an interesting comparison! Thanks for sharing the context I never would have known that and thanks for watching!
I absolutely love this lounge! I think it’s totally worth it.
I'm so glad to hear you love it! It really is a fantastic space to relax and unwind. We would most certainly do it again. Thanks for watching!
I’m doing Palo Brunch on the Fantasy. I don’t think I’m fancy enough for Remy! 😊🤣🤣
Palo Brunch is amazing!! Not nearly as fancy but just as good. Have a great time and thanks for watching!
We loved that place I had the cheeseburgeroushi and it was awesome
It's one that we would definitely do again. Glad you had a great meal there too! Thanks for watching1
Perhaps anyone interested in the learning about the greatest country on earth which of course is: The United states of America will surely get something out of the visit to the jfk museum. Job well done
The JFK Museum is indeed a treasure trove of American history, and I'm glad you found it worthwhile! Thank you for watching and your kind words.
We had a great experience on the AutoTrain. We had a Roomette it is small but we could sit by ourselves and enjoy the ride. We arrived early to VA station. We would try it again and maybe get a room next time. The food for dinner was good but like you the breakfast was lacking in taste.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed your ride. We too especially enjoyed being in our own space. Hopefully, they’ll improve breakfast!
1st
Thanks for the in depth video
You’re welcome! Have fun on your cruise and thanks for watching!
Going in 2 days for my birthday I’m exited
Have fun and happy birthday!! Thanks for watching
