Grinch Breakfast 2023 HONEST REVIEW
Is the Grinch Character Breakfast this year worth it? Or is it a total waste of money. In this video I break down the pros and cons of this super popular character breakfast. So popular that it was sold out even before it was properly announced. Most people who purchased the dining package did so based on the hype from previous years and without even reading the details and offerings- us included! We had such a great experience last year that we were sure we wanted to do this again. When we found out that it wasn't a buffet this year, that it wasn't in Circus McGurkus as usual and that it didn't even include a digital download photo despite the price increase, we decided to keep our reservation and give you this honest review. Find out what we thought and weather we will be doing this again.
If you want to check out our review of Universal Orlando's Grinch Character Breakfast from last year, 2022, you can find it in our Holidays playlist on our channel. Thank you for watching and if you enjoyed this video or found it helpful in any way, please consider subscribing!

    We have two kids, 7 and 5, and make regular trips to Central Florida. This has become our goto resort, especially versus over-priced Disney options. It is fairly priced and the suites with the mini kitchen help us eat in more. But the biggest draw is the amazing pool and lazy river right outside the door. Great channel, liked and subscribed!

    • @WanderingWizardChannel
      @WanderingWizardChannel 5 місяців тому

      Yes you can use the amenities at any Universal Resort but CB is a pretty far walk to Hard Rock- you’d have to walk all the way through City Walk and on the other side of Universal Studios where Hard Rock and Portofino Bay are. You’d be better off using the amenities at the hotels closest to you: in order they’re Aventura and Sapphire Falls and Royal Pacific is also down your walking path a bit further down.

    My family is vacationing to Universal in 2025 and as we've never stayed there and there are several hotels to choose from, we wanted to find a good video review of the Dockside Inn. After watching dozens of videos, let me just say yours is BY FAR the best. This was so genuinely helpful. Really well organized, well written, you showed the stuff you were talking about, it wasn't a vlog, and you had really great good-to-knows in there! Keep up the good work! Would love to see more quality content like this.

The customer service wasn't the best either. I ended up sick a couple days and the cleaning crew made so much noise, especially slamming doors.

      We’re sorry to hear you didn’t have the best experience at Dockside. We agree the walls are a bit thin at Endless Summer Resort- and it sure doesn’t help if you’re not feeling well 🙁. Dockside has over 2000 rooms so it does get crowded. This is one of the reasons we prefer to stay at Surfside. It’s much smaller and feels a little more laid back. Let us know if you’ve ever stayed there. Thank you for sharing your experience- and we hope you’re feeling better! ❤️
