    We stay at the Grand Floridian every summer but during Covid (yes we went the summer of 2021), the NBA has basketball players staying at the hotel so we got booted to a 2 bedroom suite at Bay Lake and I have to say, it was amazing! 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, living room, kitchen etc. It really was a great time.

    We don't stay at any deluxe resorts, but we always go to the monorail resorts to eat and hang out and sometimes watch the fireworks from several floors about the observation deck, because no one hardly goes up the floors to watch the fireworks, so we are usually there by ourselves. We hang out a lot at the Contemporary.

    I went to California grill last week for dinner and fireworks and ordered the same eel sushi roll. Mine looked completely different and had a massive piece of eel in addition to the sushi roll (which also had a lot of eel)! How strange! We are staying at the contemporary this weekend for food and wine so this video was perfect timing! Hope to see you at Epcot!

    • @wrightdownmainstreet

    Stayed there last year. Love the location, however felt the location of the parking lot, and having to walk through the parking lot every time you return to the hotel, kind of took away the resort feeling. When you stay at other deluxes, you never have to see a parking lot until check out.

    As good as that burger is, it didn't come with either the sauce or the onions as described on the menu.That's a big, big misstep in my opinion. The fact you didn't immediately request both, shows you accept less than stellar service at this cafe. Very disappointed in you this time around. You never accept mediocre service at other restaurants and this one should be no exception.
