Really enjoying the new layout/discussion model! Keep up the great work guys!

[@TheOrderofDylan]

Hope you all keep doing videos like this. The roundtable back and forth really fits the team well!

[@dianecampagna9966]

The skyliner has forever changed my opinion about Caribbean Beach -- if you stay in rooms close to the hub, it's SUPER convenient.

[@nicholasmenditto404]

Right?!?! I just stayed in the Jamaica section, building 41. Was a 2 min walk to bus and skyliner. Super convenient!! Request Jamaica part of resort!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

it depends on what kind of trip you want at that time. Do you want to relax at the resort or stay in the parks all day? The older i get, the more I want to hang at the resorts. ok, Quincy just made my point... sweet. 😃

[@anniemayer6766]

So what I’ve learned from this video is that I definitely need a an ultimate girls’ weekend itinerary from the AllEars cast.

[@theminnemouse7341]

Co-signed!!! In triplicate!!!

[@whotakesallmynames]

This would be amazing!! Sign me and my friends up!

[@joitwotheworld]

Amen to that

[@lorenbrake4400]

Thanks for all the tips!

[@joitwotheworld]

Hey, I really enjoyed the reviews good and bad, very useful.🤠

[@lorenbrake4400]

I love & recommend Art of Animation for families. 6 of us (3 A, 3 C) stayed in a Lion King 1BR family suite w/2 full bathrms. We all loved it. Big plus for me is using The Skyliner for Epcot & Hollywood Studios -- so much better than a bus.

[@jspihlman]

Wait... we need a full ranking by Quincy from worst to best!

[@DisneyBirdLady]

Hubby and I are staying at CBR in February just for the skyliner. We just stopped by the resort for the first time and even though I've seen so many reviews and heard the talk about how spread out it is, I couldn't BELIEVE IT when we got there and got to see for ourselves! We now know to request Jamaica and hope for the best so we can be as close to the skyliner as possible. The whole family is staying at All Stars Sports just for a place to sleep this weekend and I just booked a night for my birthday next year at POFQ as I've heard NOTHING but GREAT things about it and want to stay somewhere special. These will all be our first experiences with Disney resorts and we're so excited! Oh, and Pop Century for my son's birthday, also for the skyliner. 2024 is going to be a good year! :D

[@muddywaters95]

Can we get those four wonderful and entertaining ladies to do a "Girls Weekend"?! That would be iconic. From like a Thursday to Monday or Friday to Monday... Whatever works!!!

[@charlottegibson6777]

I loved port orleans riverside! I stayed in the Princess room and absolutely loved it

[@markapuan]

I have to chime in about the Caribbean Beach Resort. I can see where the large scale of the resort can cause issues for little ones after a long day in the parks. I stayed there in 08. While I did get lucky to have a bus stop right next to my room which made it quite nice at the end of the day, the multiple stops along the route can be frustrating when you just want to lay down and rest. What I loved after a first-day learning curve, was walking to the main house for breakfast, then catching the bus to the park. The views were great and very peaceful instead of cramming into a bus just to get to breakfast. As far as the room goes, totally agree, basic, and seemingly cheap. Could use a huge upgrade.

[@tmsala59]

Staying At All Star Movies In September 2023! I'm Just Concerned About The Crowded Buses! Hope To See Y'All During My 2 Week Trip There! Stay Safe And Thanks For All The Info!💖

[@BayonneRenee]

I literally left All Star Sports just three hours ago… with cheerleaders and dancers (college) it wasn’t that bad. I actually liked it. Had a preferred room and wait time for buses weren’t long.

[@parkerwalker5128]

Who would stay at Port Orleans Riverside over French Quarter? You wonderful ladies are forgetting about the all important “Kid Factor.” Many parents plan for what their kids would like, over their own preferences. My little girl loved the princess room at Riverside, but we did walk to FQ to get some of those yummy beignets! 😊

[@StoopKid452]

Would 100% stay at Carribean beach again. You can't get that close to the Boardwalk at a better price.

[@JL-1123]

If you stay at All Stars you can pay for other things you won't need elsewhere and nullify your savings!

[@tressadole6757]

You ladies just had me laughing the entire video.

[@handyba5226]

You can call transportation too they will send more buses - plus my 24 yr old was conceived there lol - it’s the Noles against the Gators too

[@hollypardue8091]

I'm staying at GF for my daughter's 21st birthday. We rented DVC points and cannot wait!!

[@dizdan3690]

Listen, when you go to WDW you want to immerse yourself in the magic. For me there is no better place to do that then GF - especially at Christmas time. We stayed there in late November and got a new Mary Poppins room overlooking the water and the MK. I think I may have cried when we opened the door...... There is no better way to wake up in the morning than to make yourself a cup of coffee and go sit on your balcony and watch the boats and monorails and listen to the MK come alive. It is a remarkable feeling and will absolutely make all your troubles dissolve.....and give you that magic / Christmas feeling. I know it's pricey. I know it's really more for "Disney Adults". But I have never been made to feel out of place there. Cant wait to go back some day....

[@zachdonis9988]

Preach

[@edwindrood2816]

DVC point rentals is a great way to pick up a night or two fancy style

[@karens.481]

With Quincy's comments about pirates, I'd like to point her toward the various "pirate ship ambience" videos on KZbin if she hasn't already found them. Very relaxing falling asleep with the sound of waves against the hull of a ship and the creaking of the ship's timbers. 😉

[@Imzadi]

This is how I used to get my colicky baby to sleep.

[@popcrash1974]

Loved Riverside. Visited French Quarter and the walk is so nice to go get Beignets. Prefer that Riverside is more spread out as its great to get away from the noise of people. Stayed on magnolia bend and we never felt the busses were a pain. We would either use the stop near us or walk for less than ten minutes to get to the main stop at reception. Had the option to try French Quarter next trip and just couldn’t choose it over Riverside. I guess everyones different though.

[@esfwr17]

I love port orleans riverside since Dixie Landings was usually the resort of choice when i was younger. It brings back fond memories. I went in May and stayed in the princess room, but wasn't a huge fan, mainly because i'm a dude and have also never seen the Princess and the Frog, nor had my girlfriend or her son. The headboards were cool, and there was a lot of details, but as mentioned in the video, it seems the layout was pretty "Motel 6ish" that just happened to have a theme to it. I do wish each resort had deluxe rooms with at least two different themes like masculine and feminine. The Cars room is cool, but wish there were different themes at the moderate-deluxe resorts. We're planning on going back this year and either staying at Ft Wilderness or Saratoga Springs, but we shall see. Great video though, yall are pretty funny.

[@daniellec239]

Bummer! I was hoping this video would have been Disneyland content. Waiting patiently for that all to come out 🙇🏻‍♀️

[@michelle1]

All Star Music is small enough that if you are only in the parks all day and sleep at the room, it works. The room has updated outlets and is not a very long walk to the rooms. All Star Movies have better rooms (slightly) but are further spread out. The family rooms are also a great option to have larger families. Movies also has the food court with the secret menu that has a really cool presentation (when available). Rooms are also updated. All Star Sports is spread out if you have a room in the back and the rooms are not updated so you can't charge your phone and your magic band plus and your battery pack without putting at least one item in a really strange location to be near an outlet. All Star Sports really is the worst resort. To make it even worse, it prices at over $200/ night a LOT ... for a motel!

[@betsyclements7817]

If you're a light sleeper like me, avoid any hotels with interior hallways! As much as I loved yacht club, ak lodge, and Coronado tower amenities, those rooms were sooooooooo loud!

[@BrianBorges-ez3ls]

This vid covers so many issues about Disney Resorts. Excellent vid as always. But the real issue is Quincy's mad love for Captain Hook! Quincy, if a random person pops up behind you dressed as a pirate holding a sign saying "Bed Science For Two!", It will be me.💕

[@Imzadi]

Grand Floridian just feels like a waste of money. I really enjoy Poly, Wilderness, and AKL so much more if you want to spring for the delux.

[@michaelscanlan3053]

“Who’s winning?” 💀

[@Samkeepgoing]

We've stayed at CBR, POR and POFQ so far and I wouldn't say no to returning to any of them, however I do think the new Little Mermaid rooms at CBR have removed the magic there, the pirates rooms were so much more 'imagineered'

[@mst3kpimp]

I've never stayed on Disney property, I figure spend my money at the parks and the room is just a place to recharge before the next adventure. I get enough theming in the parks and have had mostly great experiences using airbnb which are sometimes themed anyway.

[@JuhoWon]

We just came back from spending 8-9 days at Port Orleans Riverside. We opted for the princess royal guest rooms because we thought our kids (9 & 7 yo girls) would get a kick out of it. My overall impression was pretty favorable. The royal princess room is heavily themed, and fun. But it's aging; the materials are wearing out a bit. Also...the rooms are small. For how long we stayed with our family of 4, our stuff just exploded all over that room....and it only got worse as we bought more and more souvenirs at the parks. The resort grounds are fairly nice. The New Orleans theming is fun. The pool was great. They have horse carriage rides. You can take a ferry to Disney Springs, which is fun. The food was pretty good, never got overly busy (even over our Christmas/New Years stay). The gift shop was nice. And from our particular room, in Parterre Place, it was easy to get to the buses. Also, the bus stops never got very busy. However...there is a tiny bit of Motel 6 vibe. I think it's because you enter all the rooms from the outside. Which just sorta feels downscale. Also...we used to love AOA family suites. We still like AOA...but it's looking a bit old. And what's with the lighting in the hallways where the rooms are? Seems so dim and sad! lol

[@annlebelt2676]

All most all of the resorts have rooms that are open to the outdoors. The Deluxe are more Hotel style with room doors that open to hallways.

[@haileypb]

I'm staying here now and we've had no problems. It depends on if the cheerleaders are here but there are some here now and we've had no issues. We're staying right off the pool and during the day we hear some music, but as expected. I definitely don't think it's too noisy. We are on vacation and that's just part of it. I've stayed at resorts all the way from value to deluxe villas, and I'm totally fine with staying here in All stars to save some money sometimes.

[@whotakesallmynames]

I stayed at Caribbean Beach in October of 22, and I was never bothered by the walk or the bus stops. Maybe that's because it was my first time at Disney World and I didn't have anything else to compare it to, but my experience wasn't as crazy as some people make it sound

[@lauriel5543]

I agree about Carribean beach resort. Things were too far apart.

[@meghangriesemer1129]

Skyliner resorts were so much better transport wise than all stars. Everything was the same at POP except for the Skyliner access. Skyliner was amazing.

[@melissawillms1789]

We just stayed at CBR in May for the first time and I would not stay here again. We loved the skyliner but our room (Aruba) was so far from the lobby area and I'm not opposed to walking. I think it's because there's no shade. The main pool was so busy and they kept shutting off the waterslides. The food court was ok. We have stayed a POR (bayou) and loved it much more.

[@rainbow20112011]

I stayed at the Port Orleans French Quarter during last August of 2022. It wasn't worth the price. I had a lot of issues with my room.

[@kimsanders8832]

POR is our favorite. We will be back soon and I’m hoping it’s still nice. ❤❤

[@HartStreet4Ever]

Port Orleans Riverside is my home moderate resort hotel ..i've stayed there on two occasions ..yes the taking the bus everywhere sucks but u could take a boat to Disney Spring

[@Jennsgr8t]

Great Iv been putting all start sports off for 4 years couldn’t get over it this trip and I leave to head there 3 days from now

[@lifewithkelskels]

I really think it depends on when you stay here as to how loud the hotel is. I stayed at animal kingdom lodge and had the worst night sleep bc it was so loud so it can happen anywhere

[@parkerwalker5128]

Really? Loud as in the animals or the bar and restaurants? I was thinking about staying there, but I need a peaceful night’s sleep.

[@lifewithkelskels]

@@parkerwalker5128 I think it was just the location of our room. We were on the first floor really close to the lobby. I would try staying there again but maybe request a room away from the lobby!

[@parkerwalker5128]

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely make that request! Hope your next Animal Kingdom visit will be extra magical!

[@lifewithkelskels]

@@parkerwalker5128 thank you!!

[@fredhollis3999]

You got to talk about coming back to the Grand Floridian sweaty it doesn't matter it's natural.

[@lovestodive1879]

I've seen this question before on other sites and my answer is always, I'd never say never to any of them. I actually did say that the first time I stayed at Sports, yet, sure enough, I stayed there again. Now that they have renovated the All Stars they really aren't that bad. Having said that, I probably wouldn't stay at any of the value resorts for an entire trip, I use them as a one or two night stay at the front of a split stay. I'm actually doing 2 nights at Music coming up in April, then moving over to Dolphin for 5 nights. I have stayed at CB and while it wasn't my favorite, I would probably stay there again if I couldn't get into CSR. POR, I loved it. I stayed in the Magnolia Bend section, there was a bus stop right behind my building. I'm a walker (back then I was a jogger) so I got up every morning and jogged around the resort then found a little tucked away spot and did yoga. There are tons of those around POR. FQ on the other hand, one of the few resorts I have not stayed in and have no desire to do so. It just looks too motel like to me, I'm not a fan of the over the top theming, hated New Orleans (I've been there 3 times but only once, the first time, was for leisure. The other two times were for conventions I was part of a hosting group for). Like Hannah, I'm not a fan of beignets. GF, I love it. Have stayed there and did not feel out of place at all. But then, I also don't feel out of place at 4 Seasons or at All Stars so there is that. My only reasons for not staying there any more is it has gotten too expensive and MK is only a half day or a pop in and pop out in a few hours park for me. The one resort I don't see myself staying in is AoA. My reason, it's way to expensive for a value resort. If I need a suite, I'm staying at the one at All Stars.

[@tarazieminek1947]

AoA is the one we're considering for next year; it has suites + skyliner and it seems like it would involve minimal walking if you stay in a Finding Nemo room

[@choreomaniac]

Skyliner is best transportation because you have some privacy especially at off-hours. You also get good views. So they bumps up Caribbean, Art of Animation and Pop Century in my book, all resorts that were specifically mentioned as ones they wouldn’t stay at. I think t Skyliner access is a game changer.

[@SammSam13]

I feel that, "You aren't rich enough to be in here" vibe from Neiman Marcus 😅

[@tantalizingseadragon5281]

I'm with quincy on the pirates thing! I too dream of being captain of my own ship before sleep!

[@DisneyGreg]

We just got back from Port Orleans Riverside (Royal Rooms). This used to be one of our favorite resorts but I think I am falling out of it. Maybe our decision changed with kids? The children loved the room, but hated the food. I agree on the food, we ended up getting yogurt cups anytime we had to eat at the resort. My son had us going broke over the Uncrustable sandwiches (adding this to my lessons learned list 😊).

[@pwnmasteh]

Used to love Caribbean Beach before they changed the food court.

[@lovedfriend2020]

The beignets are YUMMY Money well spent!

[@ryang6588]

Had no idea what the B hotel was. Can we have a Quincy hotel tour for this? Rates look solid but seems some mixed reviews. Would like one of the thorough All Ears reviews for that one since so few have reviewed.

[@melissal8445]

Wilderness Lodge and Grand Floridian. WL had a tiny room, buses to Epcot missed early hours every time and I was out there by 6:30 and the room had poor sound proofing. GF’s banged up rooms with generic decor do not justify the price. If I hadn’t had 2 previous good stays at YC, my 2021 stay would have landed it on this list due to poor soundmproofing post renno,, no where to get a pre rope drop breakfast and tons of bus issues.

[@ambermouser8591]

Riverside?!?!? We stayed there in a 5th sleeper and LOVED it! We’ve only ever stayed at Riverside and Boardwalk, and we would choose Riverside easy over Boardwalk.

[@aerofool66]

PO Riverside is my absolute favorite.

[@cassandraclifford5215]

Here I was thinking of Jack Sparrow when Quincy said she likes one pirate in particular. Almost spit my tea out when she said Captain Hook. 😂

[@meghangriesemer1129]

We didnt care for the beignets but loved the French Quarter resort. We enjoyed POP much more than All Star Movies because of the transportation aspect.

[@rebeccalicari5168]

I think Riverside suffers from its name. It was never meant to have a port orleans vibe - just a Deep South turn-of-the-century vibe. When they changed the name (for good reason) they positioned it to be forever compared to French Quarter. Independent of the POFQ comparison, it holds up much better under scrutiny

[@paulahamilton3089]

First thing in morning and last thing at night every hotel bus monorail boat are all full. Not just all stars. Do wish skyliner would come to All star hotels. Other wise I will stay here over almost any other hotel. Thanks guys

[@JB.abcdef]

There is no mermaid on the pulldown headboard. But there's a blank spot where she could have gone, lol.

[@danielvandersall6756]

My opinion--there are more luxurious hotels in the Disney bubble than the GF. For that price, the Waldorf-Astoria or the Four Seasons are far better choices. And Capa is absolutely superb.

[@katyj8316]

Without all the perks, staying at a Deluxe Disney Resort just doesn't make sense. I was willing to pay Disney pricing to get the transportation, the baggage handling, the package delivery to the rooms and the extra hours. It made for a very stress-free vacation. But now?? After over 30 years of staying at Deluxe resorts I'm not sure I'm going back to Disney World. And the last few times we stayed we stayed at Grand Floridian for 2 weeks.

[@michelle1]

I agree! I used to take the kids every other year to Contemporary...but now the rooms don't work for conventions since they don't have tables and chairs for working with a laptop and the space for clothes is missing without the dresser. The Magical Express being gone means we now use Lyft since Mears is too much for a family. I really miss the luggage transfer..that alone made it worth it to me to go to a Disney resort. At this point, I decided to stay off site. Just got back from a trip to Orlando with my daughter and we stayed at the Holiday Inn...so much better. There was plenty of space and free scheduled busses for transportation. The evening hours would have been nice, but those are the ONLY reasons why we would want to stay deluxe...and that just isn't enough to justify the $700+/night cost.

[@dannygrau2983]

Disney needs more lands expansions for their parks so they have something to compete with when epic universe.

[@dannygrau2983]

I would love to see a fifth gate park.

[@Trumanandfriends]

Riverside like a motel 6?! Someone is beyond pretentious.

[@morganvandermeer9268]

Definitely disagree with the grand Floridian! We have stayed there a few times and I have never felt it’s too fancy-I agree with Quincy, Disney fancy not true fancy!

[@jeniferbeck3501]

I think all the all star and pop century are really load!

[@SeedMoney8432]

Caribbean Beach Resort is the worst of all the Disney World Resorts…….then, now and forever

[@celiamartin2907]

All of the All Stars hotels are dreadful, motel six quality at high prices.

[@duvalfamily4605]

I was rather disappointed with our Little Mermaid room at Art of Animation, but our youngest LOVED it. And the resort itself was fine, so probably WOULD stay there again. But I understand Quincy picking that one.

[@tarazieminek1947]

I think if I was going to stay there I'd stay in Finding Nemo to minimize walking. (Even though it looks like a Disney cartoon vomited all over the resort. 🤮)

[@flipcoin6301]

Can you review non-Disney hotels in the area?

[@Samminish]

All the All-Star Resorts are too noisy!! BTW >>> Fry, Emma (+ other Disney alums), do you stay in touch with your former cast members, or search them out when you're not on-camera?? And, Hannah, you're right .. .. Beignets? Overrated .. ..

[@rachelabrown12]

I consider myself a bread pudding aficionado and Sebastian’s Bisto’s bread pudding is better than Ohana’s

[@Hubgrass]

Take it from a city dweller: WHITE NOISE is your best friend at All Stars.

[@beverlyh3822]

I have stayed at all of the All-Star Resorts. Worth the price for what you get. I would not stay at any of them again because it is really loud. Buses are terrible. Always crowded and depending on where you are coming from, the buses go to all three rather than just one Resort. Pop Century and Art of Animation are a better option, the price is close to the All-stars and it is not as crowded and there is more than one way to get to the parks especially EPCOT and Hollywood Studios with the Skyliners. My favorites are the ones at the Boardwalk area because they are nice and I can walk to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. I am a teacher and save up all year so that I can do my one week vacation at a nice hotel with great staff and comfort.

[@madisonschoonover5339]

Stayed at Port Orleans Riverside back in November/December 2019 and again in December 2022… I feel like the resort has gone downhill since the pandemic. Was not impressed with the rooms, since the pandemic they have stopped changing sheets/making beds during your stay. All of the vending machines across the resort were out of water and ate our money or spit out a different drink. Overall I agree with the ‘Motel 6’ feeling. I will say, half of us stayed in the Princess room back in 2019 and half in Magnolia Terrace vs all of us staying in Magnolia Terrace in 2022. I will always enjoy the food court and pontoon boats there, but not enough to make up for the cons of this resort. Halfway through our stay we switched to the Waldorf Astoria (previously planned to make this switch) and WOW the difference in quality/vibes was insane. PO-R is not worth the price tag anymore in my opinion.

[@AndyWarren]

Hatch sound machine, noisy neighbor problem solved. (unless you have elephants in the room above you)

[@Cccoast]

Right now… any of them lol

[@davepalmatier1540]

Scratching All Star resort off my possible hotels to stay at..

[@Vacations101]

I've stayed at most Disney resorts and have to say my least favorite has to be the Beach Club resort. I have to admit, I loved the location but the resort to me was just meh! I would rather stay at Pop Century. What I found the most lacking at BCR was a quick service restaurant. I don't want to pay $100 per person at Cape May Cafe, I'd rather eat quick food for a quarter of the price at Pop Century.

[@jeffaltier5582]

Port Orleans is theming done right.

[@user-pc5iu8xw6w]

Only port Orleans has the 5th sleeper tho.

[@zachdonis9988]

I had to stop and do a double take after I heard Gf isn’t worth it💀 not really sure what your criteria is but if the marbled artwork doesn’t give you a clue I’m not sure what will. I’d agree four seasons is probably one of the best there is, that being said we are here for Disney world and are interested in Disney inspired resorts. Not to mention here’s a few critical amenities that four seasons doesn’t offer: *Club level *Location *Fireworks view *Ambience and style (updated Victorian) What Four seasons has that gf doesn’t: Water park Larger base rooms

[@fh6034]

Wait… I wish you ladies would of gone in more detail of the ones you selected as to why especially two of you saying Pop

[@nicolescott4692]

Quincy are you a fan of Once Upon A Time? If so, I completely understand the Captain Hook obsession, because…same.

[@jmchinch]

You mean your “Fry’ bucket list?…sorry, I had to

[@expensivepink7]

[@katyannaharris6131]

I enjoy seeing the group chat, but I gotta say, I miss the sassy editor moments that we get from the RTT style videos.

[@glenpreece]

I'd rather stay at All Stars than any of the moderates. Never had a good time at a moderate, bussing is awful, bad experiences with various CM'S over the years at the mods.

[@482Brisbane369]

Save yourself from the Disney craziness, it's cheaper (about 1/2 or less $, not Disney niclke and dime constant pocket draining) , less frustrating, 10x easier to book and go , less crowded at UO and its resorts. Disney abuses people's sense of nostalgia in their need for greed, Walt NEVER wanted this ! Walt wanted a place for AVERAGE families to feel wonderful, NOT used.

[@staceyclay3784]

I completely disagree with pop and AoA in the rapid fire ending there. Once you have kids in tow, those amenities, the skyliner convenience, and the theming is on point!!!

[@frankp5904]

All Sports Sports is by far the worst due to Disney allowing large groups, simply stated. BEWARE!

[@irishgirl4977]

At least at Caribbean you have the Skyliner and you can watch the fireworks from their beach.
