  1. Resort busses can be easy to catch depending on the resort. I've found them to be a lot less reliable at the deluxe resorts because usually there is alternate transportation (monorail, skyline, boat etc). I've waitied 40 min to an hour for busses at Animal Kingdom lodge, and beach club resort. Because you are on a time crunch, I'd suggest using uber to get around if you can do that. It's super cheap (6-7 bucks on average for almost anywhere in Disney) and it will definitely save you time getting from place to place. As far as restaurants go...it definitely depends on what you like and whether or not you are looking for good food or fun experience. Traditionally, the themed restaurants don't have the best food, but the experiences often make up for that. On the monorail loop, I've eaten at Ohana many times and really do like the food but it can be hit or miss depending on the day. However, let me just say that the Bananas Foster bread pudding is AMAZING. I've heard great things about the Grand Floridian Cafe but have never eaten there myself, and if you want a character experience, 1900 park fare is definitely a decent choice. In Disney Springs, I have had delicious food at lots of places. Homecomin' has really delicious southern type food, and Raglan Road has yummy Irish food and a fun atmosphere if the dancers are working. I've also eaten at Boathouse and Frontera Cocina, both of which were ok (but not my faves). If you want a cheaper option, Chicken Guy was one of the best meals I had (it's a quick service place). D-Luxe burger also has some really delicious burgers and shakes and it's another quick/cheap option. I've never been to T-Rex (have been to Rainforest Cafe though..same deal) and either of those options might be fun if you have kids. Whatever you decide, you won't go hungry. With the exception of Ohana, my tip is to skip dessert and get something at one of the other places in the Springs...(like a cake or treat at Amorettes, some yummy chocolate at the Ganachery, bubble waffles/crepes, Sprinkles cupcakes, Ample Hills Creamery etc) Hope it all works out for you...have a great time!
  2. Yes, I love to hear the positive reviews! We will definitely go ahead and book it. Now I just have to wait the 6 more months until the cruise ?. Thanks everyone!
  3. Hey everyone! My husband and I are going on our first cruise in April 2020 on Harmony of the Seas. We're thinking of doing an excursion in St. Maarten called Captain Bob's Speed boat island tour (it appears to be the same tour offered by royal on the cruise planner titled "three island speed boat tour".) It's very highly reviewed on Trip advisor, but I was wondering if anyone has done this excursion through the third party and can give me some input? Is it worth it? Good? Bad? Thanks!
