For dessert, we ordered the Peppermint Crème Brulee and the Cheesecake . I wish I had taken pictures


Jiko – The Cooking Place , a signature dining restaurant, is located at the Jambo House at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Before you even walk into the restaurant, you are enchanted by the expansive lobby. The minute you walk into Jambo House, you definitely feel as though you have entered into an African savanna lodge. The best part of the lobby is the huge window at the back where you can see the savanna and the walk leading coupons national car rental to the African animals.
To get to the restaurant, you must go downstairs. On the way down the stairs, you will walk right past Victoria Falls , a bar/lounge coupons national car rental that overlooks Boma , Flavors of Africa. Once you reach the bottom of the stairs, you can either turn left and enter Boma or if you go right, you will come to Jiko. Jiko is a breathtaking restaurant with an open kitchen, a wall of different varieties coupons national car rental of wine, and a memorable ambiance. My favorite part of the interior design is the light fixtures.
coupons national car rental When we checked in at the front desk, we only had to wait a few minutes before we were seated. coupons national car rental The hostess that led us to our table was extremely friendly and polite. I wish I remembered her name because coupons national car rental she was absolutely wonderful. Once we were seated, I could not wait to start reviewing the menu to see what had changed and what had stayed the same since the last time I was at the restaurant.
While deciding upon which entrees to order, we enjoyed a delicious bread basket which consisted of Dabo Bread and Flaxseed Focaccia . The bread came with a Tandoori butter. I absolutely love the Dabo bread with the Tandoori butter . The honey taste of the bread and the garlicky flavor of the butter is a perfect mixture. I was not a huge fan of the Flaxseed coupons national car rental Focaccia. I found the bread to be too salty to mix with the butter.
I was eating with my entire family, so I was able to review four different entrees. We decided to order Guinea Hen, Maize-crusted Atlantic Black Grouper, coupons national car rental Oak-grilled Filet Mignon, and the West African Braised Beef Short Rib.
Let’s start with the Guinea Hen . The Guinea Hen was described as a “’Doro Wot’ Braised Leg and Berbere Roasted Breast” with “sweet potato, coupons national car rental wilted greens, and ancho glaze.” coupons national car rental Both of my sisters ordered this entrée and they both greatly enjoyed it. They said that the guinea hen was delicious coupons national car rental and spiced perfectly. The meal consisted of a perfect combination of white and dark meats. I had to take a bite of the sweet potatoes and I agreed with my sisters that they were very smooth with a buttery texture! The wilted greens were flavorful coupons national car rental and the sauce was the perfect match with this entire entrée.
Next up Maize-crusted Atlantic Black Grouper . Accompanied by Vegetables of the Moment and a Tomato-Butter Sauce, the grouper was described as being very good. Cooked perfectly, the fish was flaky. While the sauce had a wonderful red tomato coupons national car rental color, it did not have a lot of flavor. The root vegetables were not as delicious as they could be. Also, my mother thought that some type of starch should have been paired with the grouper.
My father ordered the Oak-grilled Filet Mignon . On the menu, it comes with Ancient Grain Pilaf, coupons national car rental but my Dad decided to order it with a prior (and guest-favorite) menu item, the Macaroni and Cheese. He said that the Filet was slightly overcooked, but tender and flavorful. As always, the Macaroni and Cheese was excellent and a wonderful pairing with the Filet and the Red Wine Sauce. The accompanying vegetable seems to change all of the time. This time, it came with Brussels Sprouts, which was described as tender with a wonderful bacon flavor. Overall, my Dad always recommends this entrée to anyone that is going to Jiko, but he says that you have to order it with the Mac and Cheese!
Finally, I ordered the West African Braised Beef Short Rib . I have ordered this entrée before, but this year they have changed it. This time, the short rib came with roasted peanuts, roasted vegetables, and a spicy Tomato-demi glace. The short rib was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were a perfect compliment. The vegetables were carrots, pearl onions, coupons national car rental and other root vegetables. The tomato demi glace also worked very well with the short ribs. But, most years, they have made mashed potatoes the side dish, which I think are a necessary accompaniment with short ribs. Yet, even without the addition of some type of potatoes, the dish was cooked perfectly coupons national car rental and very flavorful.
For dessert, we ordered the Peppermint Crème Brulee and the Cheesecake . I wish I had taken pictures of the desserts, but we started digging in before I remembered to take the pictures. So, I will describe them as best as I can. The peppermint crème brulee was the perfect size. It had a wonderfully creamy texture like you expect with all crème brulees. This though was different than a normal crème brulee. It was served with a chocolate bottom that was very rich and a wonderful peppermint flavor.
The Cheesecake had a spice cake crust with warm sautéed apples in a caramel sauce. While the crème brulee was a great size, the cheesecake was abnormally small. Even though it was small, it had a nice flavor and the sautéed apples were a nice touch. But, the size of the cheesecake was definitely not worth the $9.00.
Overall, this trip to Jiko was absolutely delicious. On the whole, the entrees and the desserts were well-composed. And, the restaurant is beautiful and a must-see if you haven’t already done so. I would definitely recommend trying Jiko for the food and the atmosphere.
We ate at Jiko for the first time in November and enjoyed it very much. We all had the Oak Grilled filet, which was amazing. coupons national car rental Our favorite menu item though was the appetizer portion of wild boar tenderloin, which although pricey for the portion size was absolutely delicious.
Jiko has never failed to amaze me. The ambiance, the service always wonderful. I, too have always had the mac and cheese filet along with the wild boar tenderloin appetizer. While it is certainly a splurge to dine here, it is worth every penny.

The Magical Express paperwork states, Complimentary transportation services provided by Disney s Mag


Disney s Magical Express is a service that provides free bus transportation discount royal caribbean cruises to and from Orlando International Airport and Disney s resort hotels, for guests staying at those hotels. While the word FREE always sounds good, there may be some situations discount royal caribbean cruises where using Magical Express does not make sense. There are also some tips and tricks that can make your Magical Express experience better if you do choose to use it. Here s what you need to know.
Sorry, no. While the Swan, Dolphin, Shades of Green, and a few Downtown Disney area hotels are quite close to the action, only guests staying at the hotels actually owned by Disney qualify for free Magical Express discount royal caribbean cruises transportation.
If you re considering staying at the Swan/Dolphin/etc., you may want to factor the lack of Magical Express service into your decision process. The lack of ME means that staying at these resorts will automatically add a rental car fee (and a resort parking fee) or cab or shuttle fare to the cost of your vacation.
When you make your Disney hotel reservation, you will be asked if you want to use Magic Express. Say yes. To make a Magical Express booking, you ll need to provide your flight information and resort confirmation number .
No worries. Magical Express can be arranged at any point prior to your trip by calling 866-599-0951. You can also add flight information to your itinerary by visiting www.disneyworld.com/mydisneyvacation .
Yes. As long as you have a reservation at a Disney hotel on the list above, then you can use ME. Call 866-599-0951 to set this up. Again, have your resort confirmation number and flight information available when you call.
If the airline has tinkered with your arrival/departure time by a few minutes, don t worry about it. If there has been a substantial change, then call Magical Express to let them know. You should also do this if anything happens at the last minute, such as a significant weather delay or you miss your flight. If you re in a tizzy at the airport (status quo for me) and forget to call to update discount royal caribbean cruises Magical Express about a delay, don t stress. Just get to Orlando, and they ll work with you at the Magical discount royal caribbean cruises Express Welcome Desk to get you to your resort as quickly as possible.
If you reside in the US or Canada, then yes. If you make your Magical Express booking more than about a month in advance, then you will get an envelope in the mail that includes a Magical Express voucher booklet and yellow ME luggage tags.
Stay calm. There are lots of friendly folks at the Magical Express desk. If you don t have vouchers discount royal caribbean cruises for any reason (you lost them, you arranged for ME service on short notice, etc.), just let them know at the desk. They can look up your room reservation and print you new vouchers. discount royal caribbean cruises Assuming that there s no line at the desk, this only takes two or three minutes.
If this is your preference, place the yellow bag tags on your luggage before you surrender them at your origination airport. Say goodbye to your bags, because you won t see them for for a looong time.
Disney states that bags are typically delivered to your room three hours after your plane arrives at MCO. Anecdotal evidence suggests that waits of up to five hours are not atypical. If you do plan to have Disney deliver your bags to your room, you should be sure to stock your carry-on items with anything you might need for the better part of day. This may mean a change of clothes, toiletries, and baby gear. You should always keep medications, electronics, and trip documentation with you in your carry-ons.
Honestly, the easiest thing is for you to retrieve your bags at the airport yourself discount royal caribbean cruises and bring them with you to the Magical Express bus. The WDW website discount royal caribbean cruises states that you can just leave your bags, go to the ME desk and describe your bags, and they ll find them and bring them to the hotel for you. I ve heard it works, discount royal caribbean cruises but the entire concept just makes me nervous.
If you have checked luggage, you re always welcome to bring your bags with you on the bus to your resort. In this case, do NOT put the yellow tags on your bags. If the airport baggage handlers see the yellow tags, they will pull them for sorting behind the scenes. With yellow tags, your bags will never make it out to the pick-up carousel at baggage claim.
From the Walt Disney World website: If the Orlando International Airport is your first point of entry into the United States, please follow the U.S. Customs Border Protection process and claim your luggage upon disembarking the airplane. Once you have completed this process you will give your luggage back to the airport officials and proceed to the Disney s Magical discount royal caribbean cruises Express Welcome Center on B side, Level 1. Disney s Magical Express service will recollect your luggage discount royal caribbean cruises and deliver it directly to your Walt Disney World hotel room within 4 hours after you check in at the resort. For international Guests arriving after 10:00 p.m., please retain your luggage with you or pick it up in the baggage claim area and then proceed to the Disney s Magical Express Welcome Center. Your luggage will accompany you on the motorcoach. If you have already discount royal caribbean cruises completed discount royal caribbean cruises the U.S. Customs Border Protection process in another U.S. city, proceed directly to the Disney s Magical Express Welcome Center on B side, Level 1. For airport arrivals after 10:00 p.m., collect your luggage for transport on the motorcoach.
You ll also notice that I mentioned above that only US and Canadian guests will receive vouchers and tags in the mail. If this applies to you, you are still eligible for Magical Express service, you ll just have to stop at the Magical Express desk to get vouchers when you arrive.
If you re going directly to Magical Express from your flight, or if you re collecting your own bags from Baggage Claim B, then you re in good shape. If you re collecting your own bags from Baggage Claim A, then you ll have to go back to the main terminal and cross over to the B side.
The Magical Express buses run 24 hours a day. Whatever time you arrive at MCO, there will be a bus to take you to your hotel. This applies to flights that are running on time and to those that arrive late due to weather or other delays.
While the bus service runs all day, the luggage delivery service does not. If your flight arrives after 10:00 p.m., because it was scheduled to do so or because of a delay, then you must collect your luggage from the carousel on your own and bring them with you to the Magical Express check-in desk.
Once you get off airport grounds, a propaganda video will play on the overhead TV monitors. It s fairly innocuous, showing you many of the activities available at Walt Disney World. Expect Disney fans to cheer when their favorite discount royal caribbean cruises attractions discount royal caribbean cruises appears on screen.
No. Florida law does not require car seats on buses, nor is there any mechanism to attach a car seat to the bus seat. Your baby can sit on the seat next to you or on your lap. If you happen to have a car seat with you, your driver can stow it underneath with the luggage.
Yes. Make sure their names are on your room reservation and that you give ME their flight information. There s no need for you to travel all together. Each person can take a bus independently upon arrival.
I m arriving in Orlando several days before my Disney room reservation starts. We re renting a car and going to the beach. After I return the car back at the airport, can I take Magical Express to my resort?
discount royal caribbean cruises The Magical Express paperwork states, discount royal caribbean cruises Complimentary transportation services provided by Disney s Magical Express are associated with a Walt Disney World room reservation and include a one way ground transfer between the Orlando International Airport and your Disney hotel on the day that you check in and a one-way ground transfer from your Disney hotel to the Orlando International Airport on the day you check out . You ll note that there is no language here about a need to FLY to the Airport. As long as you re going to your resort on your check-in day, then it really doesn t matter how you got to the airport itself.
However, Magical Express does want to know approximately what time you ll need transportation, so they can make sure to have enough buses available. The only real mechanism they have to note is is via a flight number. Since you re driving to the airport, you won t have a flight number. This may fluster some ME reservationists. A good workaround is to find a flight discount royal caribbean cruises that arrives at approximately the time you want to go to your hotel. Simply give that flight number to the reservationist as a placeholder.
Well, you could just show up at the Magical Express desk and ask for a ride. I ve done this myself twice. As long as you have a valid Disney resort reservation number and there s room on the bus, they ll transport you.
Probably, just call ME and let them know what you need. I ve had WDW trips several times where my husband either arrived a few days after me or left a few days before me (pesky business meetings). In every case, ME had no problem putting him on a bus.
The actual ride from the airport to Disney property takes about half an hour. Each ME bus may transport guests from the airport to three or four different hotels. So, if your hotel is the first stop, then it will take about 35 minutes to get from the airport to the resort. If you re the fourth stop, then it may take up to about 75 minutes once you leave the airport.
Well, there are waits involved with those forms of transportation too, but yes, you might save a few minutes discount royal caribbean cruises if you skipped ME. On the other hand, Magical Express is free. A cab one-way from MCO to a Disney hotel will be at least $70.
If you ask 10 people, you re going to get 10 completely different answers about this. I used to be VERY anti car rental. Now I m more in the it depends on where you re staying camp. You can read some related Touring Plans blog posts on the topic by Ryan , Brian , Evan , Ryan again , and me .
One thing to consider discount royal caribbean cruises is that even if you take Magical Express to your hotel and forgo a car rental, y

I wonder if Disney can also send you a text with a link to your resort map to show you where your ro


A brand new perk is currently rolling out for Walt Disney World Guests to participate in eligible hotels on disney property Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel will have the option to go directly to their hotel room, bypassing the hotel s front desk.
In order to take advantage of this new perk, once a Guest has customized, ordered, and had their MagicBands shipped to their home, they will receive an email, letting them know that Direct-to-Room Check-In is available to them.  Keep in mind that the MagicBands must be in the Guest s possession hotels on disney property at the time of arrival at the hotel. (If you ll remember, MagicBands are used as room keys now. If you don t have your MagicBand on you, you won t be able to enter your room.)
In addition, in order to be eligible, Guests must have also paid their reservation in full. Finally, in order to participate, Guests must have completed the Online Check-In process, which includes providing a credit card and PIN number, which allows Guests to easily use their MagicBand for charging privileges once they arrive, as well as providing hotels on disney property at least one method of communications, hotels on disney property either phone number or email. If a Guest has completed all eligibility steps, they will receive a message via email and/or text prior to their arrival notifying them of their room number and that they have the option of going directly to their room.
Guests do not have to participate in Direct-to-Room Check-In.  Upon arrival at the hotel, Guests will be greeted by a Cast Member hotels on disney property and will have the option to choose to partake in the traditional check-in process or they will have the ability hotels on disney property to go directly to their room.
Keep in mind that not every type of reservation is eligible to participate in Direct-to-Room Check-In. There are a few restrictions, most commonly when a special offer stipulates that an ID is required to be presented hotels on disney property at check-in.
As I mentioned before, Direct-to-Room Check In is not something that all guests must participate in. It is just an option for those who prefer an expedited arrival experience. Personally, I ll still head to the front desk. There s just something about checking into your hotel and interacting with a front desk Cast Member that makes me finally feel like I m on vacation.
So will you still have to check in at the hotel to activate your dining plan? Or could you go straight hotels on disney property to the park on your first day of a package deal and have everything working without having to even go to the hotel??
I wonder if Disney can also send you a text with a link to your resort map to show you where your room will be. Most of the resorts are so massive hotels on disney property that it will be difficult to determine where you need to go just based on a room number.
All that s left is for Magical Express to let you choose to go straight to the park. Think how great that would be. Arrive at the airport and 60 minutes hotels on disney property later you are at the park with full charging/ hotels on disney property dining privileges. That evening you come back to the hotel, go straight to your room, and all your luggage is there waiting for you. How cool would that be.
Is there any talk of MagicBands being shipped internationally? Currently international visitors have to go to the check in counter to obtain their MagicBands. Hopefully this enhancement becomes reality soon!
I wonder if this allows for early check in? In most cases If I arrive at 1 or so and check in time is 3 (or is it 4 now?) I can usually get a room. Also, I can also ask the front desk for certain room preferences like being close to the bus stops, water taxi..a view that doesn t overlook the dumpster hotels on disney property I m looking at you Wilderness lodge.
This would probably ruin any chance of getting an upgrade, right? On our last visit we were upgraded from a Mermaid room at Art of Animation to a Car s Suite and that was awesome. hotels on disney property I would hate to kill any chance hotels on disney property of lucking hotels on disney property out like that again.
This explains the email we got a few days ago! We re checking into AKV-Jambo House soon, so we ll be trying this out. Since we do Magical Express we ll be going to the hotel first, and if our room is ready (fingers crossed!) we ll just drop off our carry-on stuff go directly hotels on disney property to a park. I m excited to try it!
I ve not received the text with my room number on a couple trips and that was after getting the text message confirming I would like to receive texts so I know they had my correct number. hotels on disney property I just had to wait until 4pm to call or show up at check-in desk.
Since they don t have to have your room ready until 4, you may not know anything until 4pm. Lots of people will be wasting time until 4pm to find out their room is ready or if they will even get a text message. It does get frustrating sometimes when you re tired and just want to get in your room.
It s funny to me how certain things are part of the magic, but I can t tell if I am rationalizing or being subjective. We usually stay at Pop Century. The lobby and the interactions with the Cast Members at the desk during check-in are such a part of a great start to our vacations hotels on disney property that I would hate to give that up. It s a lot like the boat or monorail hotels on disney property to the MK: anticipation and interaction are part of the process for us. Of course, I m also the guy who won t use the automated checkouts at the grocery, because they put people out of work. Go figure.
This is exciting to me. On our arrival day we like to be able to just drop our bags at Bell Services and grab lunch. While the lobbies are fun for the kids to explore -everyone is antsy. We want to go and enjoy the parks. That half hour that we spend at the desk or waiting to check in is always a drag. I have heard of folks not getting text messages but we have received those in the past without a problem. I hope Room Only reservations are eligible! We never book a package the UoG taught hotels on disney property us that.
I like the check in experience. The front desk cm s are always very pleasant and they usually have a little inside info on what s happening at the resort. It s a great time to have all your questions answered and it s just a great introduction to the whole vacation feeling you ll have while there.

And so, a head s up : for at least the first months of operation, we can all expect longs lines to b


Many thanks to Lori Hope Fries, DFB Reader and co-founder of  TheMainStreetMoms.com , for sending discount one way car rentals in some awesome pics for us to share with you, along with her review! We re also suuuuuper grateful to our friend David Shearer for sharing his incredible photos as well! We ll be using the collection of both of their pictures along with a few of ours to tell the story of the very first days of Trader Sam s Grog Grotto.
But before we go in… what is a “soft opening,” exactly ? Basically, a soft open means that guests may find Trader Sam’s in operation during a visit to the Polynesian from now until it’s official opening (expected for late April ), BUT it can be closed at any given time to continue any necessary discount one way car rentals work. So, fair warning.
Take, for instance, this anecdote from our good friend, Mealtrip:  The system is, you get a pager, then they call you in. So there was a 3 hour wait to get a pager and then another 3 hour wait once you had the pager. There is no pager waiting line , and you can t just wait in the hallway for a pager.
And so, a head s up : for at least the first months of operation, we can all expect longs lines to be rule, not the exception. Anyone who s had experience with Trader Sam s in Disneyland will be fully aware of this gigantic problem.  Okay, with that out of the way, NOW let s step inside and see what treasures await!
We have been on watch for months, waiting for Trader Sam to land at the Polynesian Village Resort. Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Room , at the Disneyland Resort, is a favorite stop when we go, and have been there many times. My middle son, Dennis, is an avid tiki mug collector, so we watched as the lobby walls came down around the fountain and a cast member showed us the door leading to Trader Sam’s new location. We watched and waited.
When you go on the Jungle Cruise in each Adventureland, Trader Sam, the head salesman of the jungle, will greet you. From coast to coast, these two men share a name and a job (and some jokes), but each coast has their own Sam. We were excited to see how the tiki bars of the same name differed.
We were in the Magic Kingdom when we learned that Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto was holding a soft opening. We hopped on a monorail and headed for the Polynesian Village Resort. The wait time was up to four hours to get in! Luckily, we got a pager from a friend who couldn t stay, and combined the wait.
He also ordered the HippopotaMai-Tai , a fruity rum drink served in a tiki glass that resembles the new statue in the lobby. For around $15, he got the delicious drink and was able to keep the glass as a souvenir, too.
I got one of Sam’s No-Booze Brews , the Polynesian Punch , served in a plastic souvenir sipper. You cannot order a non-alcoholic substitute if you want a specific souvenir mug; they do not want to confuse serving alcoholic drinks to minors.
It is themed similarly to the Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel, with tiki statues, shrunken heads, and a volcanic view out the “windows”; but this one has a nautical twist. ( Editor s Note: This Trader Sam s has themeing elements dedicated to the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride once found in Magic Kingdom.)
discount one way car rentals Bar patrons join the cast members in celebration discount one way car rentals of tiki gods and tiki drinks. Disneyland guests will recognize familiar chants, “Uh-oh-ah! Uh-oh-ah! Uh-oh-ah Oh-ah Oh-ah!”  Check out this video from  Mousesteps.com  to see what happens when you order it!
The cast members don’t just make the Grotto fun; they ensure your service is of the same high standards across Walt Disney World. I have food allergies so our server called the chef out to discuss my options. He also told me his favorites.
We ordered the Chicken Lettuce Cups with Hoisin Ginger Sauce and the Roasted Chicken and Pork Paté Bán Mì Sliders . We liked them both. You assemble the wraps yourself with pickled slaw and diced chicken in a thick sauce.
( Editor s Note: When the Pearl is ordered, the shell behind the bar lights up and opens as the Bartenders discount one way car rentals grab the vessel. FYI One out of every 100 comes out black! Check out this video from laughingplace.com to see what happens when you order it!
We d also love to share a few more of the fantastic pictures from David Shearer. He and his wife, Stephanie, enjoyed the Tahitian Torch (ByeJoe Dragon Fruit Spirit, Tropical Juices, Passion Fruit and fresh lime juice) and they also tried the Kalua Pork Tacos .
Our Facebook friend Casey N. kindly shared few prices with us (notice they re not on the menu ;). The Spikey Pineapple (a Dole Whip with rum) is $10.25. The non-alcoholic Polynesian Punch in a souvenir cup is $9.49. The Polynesian Pearl (pictured in white from Lori above) runs around $16. The Shrunken Zombie Head , which comes in its own very special souvenir glass, discount one way car rentals rings up at just over $20.
And, hey, let s take one more look at that Nautilus while we re at it! At the time of this writing, it is currently NOT available discount one way car rentals to take home, but it will be once the official opening takes place in late April.
Once it is available, this completely awesome tribute to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea can be yours for the low, low price of 52 smackers discount one way car rentals ! (Yep, you read that right!). It s filled with Barbancourt Pango Rhum, Appleton Estate Reserve Rum, Combier discount one way car rentals Creme de Peche de Vigne Liqueur, tropical juices, and Falernum , and made to serve two. For the time being, you are able to order the drink and enjoy it in a Nautilus, only without taking it home.
And there you have it, folks! The first days at the Grotto are in the books, and just like Trader Sam s Enchanted Tiki Bar on the west coast, discount one way car rentals it appears we have another huge hit on our hands! We can t wait to bring you more fun from Trader Sam s Grog Grotto in days to come!

discount one way car rentals Hopefully, I ll get inside in April, provided the lines are short enough. discount one way car rentals (I m not waiting hours to get in; I don t care how cool it is.) I really like what I ve seen, although that souvenir cup for the non-alcoholic drink can be had at Sunshine Tree Terrace for less money.
I have never been to the Polynesian but now I definitely have to go. I love all the souvenir glasses. Were you able to keep the rum flight glasses? How much are those going for? I wanted the Nautilus when I first saw it but $52!!! I don t want it that bad.
Kim, I too have a juice issue. I am on prescription medication. Most people do not know that you cannot consume grapefruit in any form when you take prescription medications. Everything you see that says tropical juices can be one of two types of juices. The bartender Cris was very helpful to me yesterday and even spoke with the Chef before serving me. The Chef and bartender said most of their blends are grogg juice which is guava, orange, and grapefruit juice. You can ask for the pog blend which they said was passion fruit, orange, and guava. Just make sure you discuss your allergies when you arrive. They will help you out!
I ve been wondering if the Tambu Lounge will remain open after this one officially opens? I am hoping it will b/c this one seems really fun but I will miss Backscratchers Lapu Lapus to go while roaming around the Poly grounds!
Don t think Tambu lounge is going anywhere from what I ve heard. It services all those waiting for Kona Cafe Ohana, which remain very popular, so I imagine the demand won t be going anywhere for Tambu! You can order the drinks without purchasing the souvenir mugs. They re served in those mugs, but if you purchase the mug as well, you get a clean one when you leave!
Can t wait to drop in! We love Trader Sam s at Disneyland in CA, and are so happy that we ll have our own right across the street. I think it s so neat that there are unique effects drink items here in FL too makes it special! =) =)
@Nicky and anybody else who wants a vegetarian option I spoke with a Disney Special Diets rep and they did confirm that there is NOT a veggie option at Trader Sam s here in FL yet. They went on to say that if enough interest is shown, they may add one later in time for the grand opening (as opposed to the current soft opening).
Please any veggies out there if you email specialdiets@disneyworld.com and let them know you are missing a meatless option at Trader Sam s here in Florida that would help a lot! I think it s important to have at least one food item (like the deep fried green beans at Traders discount one way car rentals Sam s in CA, or the off-menu Coconut Crusted Tofu salad, or the off-menu margherita flatbread they also offer there, but not here in FL,) and it s usually Disney s policy to have at least one.
If anything I know personally I can t have more than one or two large tropical alcohol-based drinks unless there s at least a little food in my belly to soak things up a bit Since they ve removed the Adult Grilled Cheese sandwich at Captain Cook s too (argh!!) that has ruined my backup plan, hehe.
We went expressly for the souvenir Nautilus on day 2. We were not aware that the Nautilus was not available for a souvenir and our waitress did not mention this. If we had been aware we would not have ordered the drink, as it is $29 just for the alcohol and $52 with the souvenir Nautilus. Plan on arriving at least 45 minutes before opening.
Gosh, it s so small. Talk about leaving money on the table. I suppose they think demand will die down but I doubt it. Maybe the step prices will keep people away, however I m not a drinker and even I would go to pick up some of the souvenirs.
Oh gosh, there are so many drinks I want to try and so many souvenir mugs/glasses I want to get that my liver has just left my body! Seriously this place looks and sounds amazing and is something we don t have in the UK. I can see this being very popular for ov

New! Disney s Polynesian Village Lobby Reopens: On Dec 19, 2014, the construction walls were removed from Disney s Polynesian Village Resort w hotel honolulu lobby revealing an open and bright new look with lots of seating and a new, smaller water fall. Much of the carpeting has been removed, allowing the stone flooring to be more visible, but the most notable change is the complete removal of the former waterfall and foliage.

On-Site Dining Options: The Animal Kingdom has a variety of outstanding dining choices, including th


Wondering how Animal Kingdom Lodge stacks up against the other Disney World Deluxe Resorts? Check out The Best Disney usave car rental ratings World Deluxe Resorts for a comparison of the eight Deluxes in a variety of categories including Best Layout, Best Dining, Best Transportation, Best Location, Best Rooms, Best Pool, and Best Overall Deluxe usave car rental ratings Resort.
Resort Class: The Animal Kingdom Lodge (occasionally referred to as The Lodge) is a Deluxe resort, the most expensive resort type.  There are ten different room, suite, concierge class, and view configurations.  The Standard rooms are much cheaper than other Deluxe Resorts, except usave car rental ratings for the Wilderness Lodge which is similarly priced.  A Standard room with a parking lot view runs $240 during Value Season which is $45 less than the cheapest room at the Contemporary Resort and $170 less per night than the Grand Floridian’s least expensive room.  Compared to the Moderates, the Animal Kingdom Lodge is about $90 more per night. usave car rental ratings The Lodge also offers several suite configurations that sleep up to eight and Kilimanjaro Club Level rooms with Concierge service.  In addition, there are the Jambo House and Kidani Village Villas, which will be covered in full in the Villas section.
Location: The Animal Kingdom Lodge is located adjacent to the Animal Kingdom theme park.  It is the furthest resort from the Magic Kingdom and a good distance away from Epcot and the Hollywood Studios by bus as well.  The Animal usave car rental ratings Kingdom Lodge is the only Deluxe resort that is not located on a body of water, so there are no watercraft rentals or beaches.
Size :  The Animal Kingdom Lodge is a long, narrow resort with a “kraal African-village usave car rental ratings landscape design—a semi-circle design popular in Africa which offers expansive views of the surrounding savanna and its many animal inhabitants.”  Basically, this means that Disney designed The Lodge to have as many rooms as possible overlook savannas.  There are 1,307 rooms in total, almost all of which have full balconies or patios.  About 1,000 rooms overlook one of the three savannas, leaving only 300 or so rooms with less desirable views.  Because of the long length of the buildings, rooms at the end of both Kudu Trail and Zebra Trail are about ten minutes away from the main building and bus stop.  In addition, as you approach the Animal Kingdom Lodge from the road, you will have no idea how large the resort actually is because the front looks like a small village, rather than a 1,300 room complex.
Room Amenities and Quality: Most of the Standard rooms are about 344 square feet and can accommodate up to four people.  Note that the size of the rooms is only 30 feet larger than those found at the Moderates and about 100 square feet less than comparable rooms at the Grand Floridian. usave car rental ratings This is one reason usave car rental ratings why the resort is cheaper usave car rental ratings than the other Deluxes.  Rooms come with all of the Deluxe amenities including: two queen-size beds or one queen size bed and a set of bunk beds or one king size bed and a daybed, small table, two chairs, ceiling fan, internet access ($10 per 24 hours), 32” LCD television, small safe, telephone, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, alarm clock, coffeemaker, refrigerator, bathroom with single sink, shower/bathtub combo, toilet, and mirror.
Standard rooms have an African theme with handcrafted usave car rental ratings furniture, carved wooden headboards, colorful patchwork quilts, and hanging artwork.  There are rooms available with a queen bed and a bunk bed for two.  These rooms cost about $40 more per night than a room with two queen beds and are available with either usave car rental ratings a pool or savanna view.  Rooms with this setup may be beneficial for families with two children (or parents???) who do not want to sleep in the same bed.  This room setup is also available at the Wilderness Lodge.
The biggest complaint about the Animal Kingdom, other than its lengthy transportation times, is the poor lighting in the rooms.  While the dark ambient lighting fits the theme, it’s too dark, especially in the bathroom.  My recommendation would be to bring a makeup mirror with a light if you’re planning to apply makeup, otherwise it will be hard to see what you’re doing.  Overall, the room amenities, quality, and size are on par with the Moderate resorts more so than the other Deluxes.
Theme and Layout: The Animal Kingdom Lodge is like no other resort in the world.  Set on 43 acres of African savanna, The Lodge is home to more than 30 species of African wildlife, over 100 Sand Live Oak trees, and 35,000+ shrubs.  There are about 250 animals spread out over the four savannas.  Disney constructed the savannas specifically for the Animal Kingdom Lodge and they are entirely separate from the Animal usave car rental ratings Kingdom theme park.  Each of the animals makes it home on the savanna and they sleep, roam, and eat many of their meals right on the land.  They are fed and checked on by staff in separate buildings as well, but the animals are usually available for viewing.
usave car rental ratings Jambo House, the Animal Kingdom’s main building, is one of the most magnificent lobbies at Disney World.  If you have seen the lobbies at the Polynesian usave car rental ratings or the Grand Floridian then you know this is no small feat.  Jambo House is six stories tall and features a gigantic 50-foot tall curved picture window that spans the entire back wall of the lobby.  There are comfortable lounge areas, magnificent carved wooden sculptures, beautiful African art, and a large mud fireplace as well.  It is truly amazing and it’s worth taking usave car rental ratings a trip to see even if you aren’t staying at the resort.
Pool: At about 11,000 square feet (equivalent to eight Olympic size pools put together), the Animal Kingdom’s Uzima pool is the second largest single pool of any resort.  Stormalong Bay at the Yacht and Beach Club is a larger overall complex, but it’s technically more than one pool.  Uzima features a 67 foot long slide, zero-depth entry, and is surrounded by large canopy trees and Florida palms.  It’s a beautiful usave car rental ratings area and fits in with the overall theme of The Lodge perfectly.  However, this is also the only resort without a quiet pool.  On the plus side, it does have two hot tubs.
Transportation: Of the Deluxe usave car rental ratings resorts, the Animal Kingdom has the most limited transportation options.  Service is by bus only.  On the plus side, it does not share buses with any other resort so all trips are direct.  The problem is that The Lodge is the furthest resort away from the Magic Kingdom usave car rental ratings and not much closer to either Epcot or the Hollywood Studios.
Best Rooms: Of course, suites located in the Jambo House are the best rooms at the resort, but that doesn’t do most of us any good because they cost upwards of $3,000 per night . As far as Standard Rooms are concerned, my recommendation would be to try to get the third floor of either usave car rental ratings the third or fourth building on the Zebra Trail side looking inward at the savanna.  I know that sounds a little complicated, but let me explain.  First of all, if you’re going to stay at the Animal Kingdom usave car rental ratings Lodge then you should strongly consider upgrading to a Savanna View.  I don’t usually advocate view upgrades, but the whole purpose of staying at The Lodge is to view the animals, not overlook the parking lot.  The upgrade cost is a minimum of $70 more per night, but in this case it’s worth it.  You’ll be able to enjoy the beautiful usave car rental ratings savanna and the many animals whenever it’s convenient.  It’s difficult to beat waking up in the morning, preparing a cup of coffee, and watching giraffes stroll across wide open savanna.  Outside of Africa it just isn’t possible anywhere else.
Second, looking inward at the Arusha Savanna is the best of the Savanna Views.  Some of the rooms in Ostrich Trail are technically Savanna View rooms, but they overlook a much smaller piece of land and are not preferable.  Third, Zebra Trail rooms are on the same side as the pool area and restaurants, which means shorter walks.  Fourth, rooms on the third floor have the best overall view.  Fourth floor rooms are Concierge Level and Fifth and Sixth Level rooms are reserved for Disney Vacation Club Members which means there are no Standard rooms on those floors.  The third floor is actually ideal because it will allow you to get a nice panoramic view of the entire savanna while still being low enough to the ground so you can see the features of the animals and shrubbery better.  Rooms on the second floor have an even more detailed look at the ground, but are too low to get a nice overview of the entire usave car rental ratings savanna. usave car rental ratings Fifth, the view from rooms in the third, fourth, and fifth buildings away from the Jambo House are not hindered by the Arusha Rock Savanna Overlook which clips the view from the first and second building on either the Kudu Trail or Zebra Trail sides.  The view from the fifth building out is actually the best if you don’t mind walking the extra distance to the Jambo House, bus station, and restaurants.
On-Site Dining Options: The Animal Kingdom has a variety of outstanding usave car rental ratings dining choices, including the Boma Buffet, Jiko Signature Restaurant, and the newer Sanaa located in the Kidani Village.  Boma is one of the most popular buffets at Disney World and serves a variety of traditional African dishes as well as more Americanized dishes for breakfast and dinner.  Be sure to check out the excellent soups and a zebra dome for dessert.  If you aren’t staying at The Animal Kingdom Lodge then you might try Tusker House at the Animal Kingdom Park instead.  Tusker House serves usave car rental ratings similar food and is more convenient than Boma.  On the other hand, a meal at Boma is an excellent excuse to visit this beautiful resort.
Jiko – The Cooking usave car rental ratings Place is the Animal Kingdom’s Signature Restaurant and costs two table service credits on the Dining Plan.  It’s not outrageously priced, with most entrées in the $30-$40 range.  Food and service are both excellent.  The emphasis is on beef, chicken, fish, and pork rather than distinctly African dishes.  I would suggest the barbecue chicken flat bread, either the short ribs or filet mignon, and Ji

In selecting MouseSavers Preferred Hotels, our goal is to to be your hotel concierge by doing all of the footwork for you and picking the best of the best in various Orlando hotel categories. We have been investigating  Walt Disney World area hotels , including hotels in Lake Buena Vista, cruise caribean Orlando and Kissimmee , since summer 2001.
First we reviewed many sources (including unofficial Disney discussion boards and published guidebooks) to see which hotels near Disney World got a lot of positive reviews. Then we started visiting Orlando hotels in person.
We have looked at dozens of hotels that are close to Walt Disney World and done in-depth site inspections of most of them. We have also performed site inspections at all of Disney s official resorts, the gold standard by which other hotels in the area must be judged. That allows us to give you an accurate comparison of quality.
After touring many hotels we chose a select few that met all our criteria and stood out above the rest. Once we had identified those hotels, we approached the management about offering special discounts, deals and packages cruise caribean  on their Disney cruise caribean World area hotel locations for readers cruise caribean of MouseSavers.com. The MouseSavers Preferred cruise caribean Hotels are supposed to offer our readers at least their lowest refundable/changeable rate (also known as the Best Available Rate in the hospitality industry). But in the vast majority of cases, they go far beyond that basic requirement, offering MouseSavers.com readers exclusive deals that are not available anywhere else.
We have turned down many offers from hotels that were willing to pay us to recommend them, but didn t meet our standards. We re-inspect the MouseSavers Preferred Hotels regularly, usually once or twice a year. If they don t continue to meet our standards, we stop working with them.
We are not currently recommending any specific Orlando hotel discounts in the super-low-budget category because we feel there is a good chance our readers will be disappointed by what they get for their money. A couple of our Preferred Hotels have offered rates as low as $69 a night plus tax, which is an amazing deal for the quality you are getting.
So far we have found that hotels charging much below that price level are hugely less appealing for a little less money, you get a lot fewer amenities . If you just want basic, cheap accommodation, there are lots of choices cruise caribean in Kissimmee (one town over from Orlando/Lake Buena Vista) in the $49 $79 a night range, for which you can expect about a 2-star hotel with a fairly clean room, no restaurant or room service, an ordinary pool, basic decor and landscaping, very limited or no transportation to the parks, and usually a fairly inconvenient location.
If you really need to keep expenses cruise caribean low, a much better option than picking a random cheap motel is to use Priceline , which is a service that allows you to bid on hotel rooms. There are some amazing Orlando hotel discounts to be had through Priceline and we use it ourselves to bid on hotels all the time! We always choose hotels cruise caribean in the 3-star or higher category, and we ve never been disappointed. (Note: Priceline is making it harder and harder to find the bidding area of its site: be sure to click on Name Your Own Price to get the real deals.)
Another alternative: try to get a discounted room at one of Disney s Value resorts (the All Stars or Pop Century), which have a rack rate of under $100 per room per night in the off-season. With a discount from AAA, you might be able to get an even lower rate, and if there are discount codes running during the time of your visit, or you are an Annual Passholder or Florida resident , these rooms are sometimes as low as $80-ish a night in the off-season. You get a lot of magic at Disney s Value resorts, as well as the convenience of Disney s transportation system. To see current discounts at the Disney resorts, click here .

...before we booked our Apartment Rental Florence Italy we used some of your suggested checks (the Florence rental agent's office was not near the apartment) we ironed renaissance charleston hotel out a few minor details and went ahead and booked. Thanks for the heads up!
Poggio Imperiale Apartments : There are 19 apartments to choose from each with its own private entrace. renaissance charleston hotel The apartments renaissance charleston hotel are located in a 19th century building overlooking the piazzale di Porta Romana and opposite the Boboli Gardens.

Note : It's important to use a reliable company , people often e-mail telling me about being strande


Rome international airport is situated in Fiumicino about 30 km (19 miles) south west of Rome city center in the direction of Ostia/Fiumicino on the coast. Fiumicino Airport who owns cunard cruise line gets the lions share of air traffic, Ciampino Airport Rome gets the remainder.
The FMI Metropolitan Train (also called FR1) goes to Fara Sabina Station (North East of Rome), and stops at Trastevere (Corner of Circonvallazione Gianicolense and Viale di trastevere), Ostiense (Piramide Metro stop - see Rome Metro ), Tuscolana, and Tiburtina.
My advice: For tourists traveling to Rome's central areas the Leonardo Express is the better option because Termini station has more public transport who owns cunard cruise line options than Ostiense. However if you are staying in the Trastevere, Testaccio or Aventine areas then perhaps the FMI will be more viable. Both Termini and Ostiense have a taxi rank.
This is the option I would most recommend. A Rome private shuttle transfer is the cheapest and quickest way of getting who owns cunard cruise line from Fiumicino Airport direct who owns cunard cruise line to your hotel reception or from your hotel direct to Fiumicino Airport who owns cunard cruise line .
Note : It's important to use a reliable company , people often e-mail telling me about being stranded by such and such a company who owns cunard cruise line at the airport, or having to pay different fees from what was originally agreed upon. Unfortunately this and rogue taxis are occurrences far too common in Rome.
There are only a few private bus companies that offer a transfer service between Fiumicino airport and Termini Station (the quicker more efficient trains and private shuttles get the bulk of the business) you will see their offices as soon as you walk into the arrivals hall.

I was moved from the Tritone Hotel Rome Italy to a sister hotel "Hotel White" because of refurbishme


Description: Tritone Hotel Rome Italy is situated in the heart of the Capital, and only one hundred car rental sales meters from the Trevi Fountain. Recently restructured, the Hotel offers comfortable sound-proofed rooms. All rooms (located over five floors) are accessible by lift and have modern decor with a retro feel. Amenities include air conditioning, cable television, complimentary car rental sales newspapers, car rental sales direct-dial phones, hair dryers, wireless Internet access and minibars.
The roof garden car rental sales which is available for breakfast in summer, gives a panoramic car rental sales view over Rome. The multilingual staff at the 24-hour front desk can advise on sightseeing and local Rome attractions. They can also organize guided walks and Rome bus tours on request. Other practical car rental sales amenities car rental sales include car rental sales room service, valet parking (surcharge), currency exchange, and a dry cleaning service.
Romanlife 2 cents: Regarding decor, car rental sales comforts and service, the chances are that at the Tritone hotel Rome Italy you will receive slightly better car rental sales value for money than you would at another 3 star Rome hotel near Trevi fountain. The advantage of staying here is also the proximity of most of Rome's main tourist attractions! The Tritone hotel Rome Italy is ideal for those who want a comfortable centrally located hotel in Rome and want Rome's wonderful car rental sales sights, sounds and activities car rental sales within easy grasp.
Description: Completely renovated, the Cosmopolita hotel Rome Italy has a welcoming reception hall and a warm atmosphere. Located in the heart of Rome's historical centre it is close to the Roman Forum, Colosseum, and most of Rome's main monuments, in addition it's close to all the important Rome shopping areas, like Via Margutta, Via del Corso and Via Condotti.
The hotel's "Glass Bar Restaurant", is quite innovative and charming. It serves up relaxing aperitifs and exciting dinners. They serve up an array of Italian car rental sales traditional cuisine and also some recipes car rental sales from the Orient.
Romanlife 2 cents: At Cosmopolita hotel Rome Italy your experience will be that much more unique than most other 4 star Rome hotels. Take full advantage of their outdoor dining facilities and their Glass Bar . Another advantage would be the proximity of most of Rome's car rental sales main tourist attractions! The Cosmopolita hotel Rome Italy is ideal for those who want a comfortable, unique car rental sales and centrally located hotel in Rome within easy grasp of Rome's wonderful sights, sounds and activities.
The Trevi fountain area is an approximate 5 minute taxi ride from the central Termini station. car rental sales Alternatively it may be reached by Metro line A stopping at the Barberini stop. The hotels are then a 5-minute walk (500 meters - 600 yards) from the Barberini stop.
We stayed in the Tritone hotel Rome Italy from October 29 through November 2 2008. We were 5 in total, 2 adults and 3 children, and we booked a suite on the 5th floor. The rooms were a little small but we didn't need more as we spent most our time outdoors discovering Rome. The place was clean and elegant and the bathroom was very comfortable. The breakfast area on the rooftop is wonderful. Everything is good with the exception of the dreadful orange juice. car rental sales The reception area is small and the staff at times a little abrupt, but usually nice and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend Tritone Hotel Rome Italy.
We stayed for 4 days at the Tritone Hotel Rome Italy and found it comfortable and clean. It's location in Rome is very central and the breakfasts were good. The only fault we could find was that the stairs leading from the front door to the check in counter were a little difficult to navigate with suitcases, but the porter was very helpful.
The staff were always helpful. I quite liked the little elevator (that some didn't like) which was very different from all the new high tech stuff. Breakfast was good, simple and a appropriate for the start of a days sightseeing in Rome.
The bed was firm and comfortable with a futon mattress and a music channel placed above your head. We enjoyed their selection of music so much (instrumental with a decidedly international flavour) that we requested the source from the hotel.
They have a small, flat screen TV which I believe comes with computer ports in the room. The wood panelling along with the sleek stainless steel lamps was a striking combination. The bathroom was very comfortable and modernized as well. The best floor of the hotel to stay on at the moment is the 4th floor.
You are just around the corner from the Trevi Fountain. The Tritone hotel has a small lobby and there is no lounge, but the new rooms and convenience factor are more than enough for us to recommend the Tritone hotel Rome Italy to anyone.
My husband and I stayed at the Tritone hotel Rome Italy for the 2nd week of our European honeymoon. We tried staying at the Grand Flora Rome Marriott, car rental sales but were not able to use our points, so we found this hotel instead.
Positive: The hotel's location is ideal and very central, you can walk to almost everything. car rental sales The room (on 5th floor) was clean, car rental sales and modern, with an updated bathroom, funky music piped in, and the room had a flat screen TV. The free breakfast on the top floor was very nice.
Negative: Small hotel room, and we would have hoped for at least a queen or king sized bed. Instead, we had 2 twin beds, which separated during the night, and one of us would end up on the floor in-between the beds! The elevator was very tiny and one day my husband had a backpack on and was unable to turn around while standing in the elevator! The pillows car rental sales and mattresses were VERY hard and my ears were numb when I woke up in the morning, we both slept terribly.
We ended up staying at the Tritone hotel Rome Italy only 3 of the 6 nights that we originally intended. My husband insisted that we try to get into the Marriott, and luckily were able to use our points for the remaining nights. car rental sales I felt bad about leaving, car rental sales as the staff was very friendly & accommodating, and you can tell that they are proud of their little hotel, but I think we must be a little sensitive when it comes to beds.
After reading car rental sales some of the mixed reviews about the Tritone hotel Rome Italy, I was a little worried. The only negative thing that I found is that the hotel is on a busy road and therefore has noise from passing traffic, car rental sales but after a day of Roman sightseeing you will probably be too tired to notice it - we didn't. I booked two rooms, both of which had been refurbished and were of a very high standard. The bedding and towels were immaculate as was the hotel room and the whole hotel. Breakfast was plentiful with a wide variety of items to suit every taste.
The hotel is situated just around the corner from the Trevi Fountain and is within easy walking distance of all of the major attractions of Rome. I would have no doubt in highly recommending the Tritone hotel Rome Italy. If you have never been to Rome before car rental sales you are in for a treat as it is a fabulous place.
My partner and I stayed car rental sales at the hotel Tritone Rome Italy for two nights in November 2008. The hotel was booked for us by the company which I had to visit in Rome. Unfortunately we were assigned room 201. Truly terrible: hardly space to move about, old furniture and an exceedingly basic bathroom. Luckily a colleague and his wife who had also been checked into the Tritone hotel Rome Italy and so we could compare hotel rooms and realised that not all the hotel rooms were as tiny and bad.
We spoke with the receptionist amidst car rental sales a lot of humming and haa'ing and there were apparrantly only rooms available at the front of the hotel which has a high traffic noise. Eventually we managed to get another room at the back of the hotel, in fact at the superior floor. These are the pictures which you see on their website. Don't get too exited though - these rooms are still quite standard car rental sales and the beds are quite basic. Our bathroom was very good though, and new!
When we arrived at the Hotel Tritone the very small lift was out of action - next day it was repaired but by the evening it was out of order again. The poor porter had to lug all the luggage up and down the stairs.
Good points: We were not charged for a room upgrade and the small mini bar bill was credited because of our troubles. car rental sales The (male) receptionists were on the whole very helpful and the location is excellent!
I was moved from the Tritone Hotel Rome Italy to a sister hotel "Hotel White" car rental sales because of refurbishments. I was initially quite unhappy about this, but they gave us a superior room (which wasn't grand but nice enough) so I didn't mind too much once we arrived car rental sales back at Tritone.
The hotel's location is superb. Opposite there is a bus terminal and around the corner is a local supermarket where bottles of water cost 33c (about 20p)!! The Trevi Fountain was 2 minutes away and all the other Rome sights were within walking distance.
car rental sales I would recommend this hotel if you didn't want anything too elegant. The most important thing for us was that it was clean and the staff were nice. It was noisy at night because of the main road so if you're a light sleeper I would not recommend it!
The Cosmopolita hotel Rome Italy was perfect in every way. Perhaps a little pricier than we would have liked but certainly worth every penny and more. The location is perfect for seeing all of Rome. There is a restaurant where we had Easter Dinner that was divine. The breakfast was comprehensive and a great start to a good day touring Rome. The room was very very large and the staff spectacular. They remembered who you were and recommended great Rome restaurants depending on your appetite and taste. Oh, and the rooftop patio and its views over Rome was nothing short of spectacular. Stay here if you can.
We visited Rome the first week of November 2008 and had an amazing time. Rome is a very easy city to navigate and everything is within reasonable walking distance. After all the stories I heard of pick-pockets car rental sales and roving Gypsies I was a bit concerned. Of course like in any big city you should always be cauti

The Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy is amazing! The service airline tickets to london was excellent, rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and even the bathroom and shower airline tickets to london was great. We really loved the courtyards with the beautiful orange trees. airline tickets to london The safety inside the hotel was also a plus.
We arrived early on our first morning and even though check in wasn't airline tickets to london until the afternoon, out room was ready for us!! The breakfast was delicious...eggs, breads, yogurt, cereal, juices of every variety, cappuccinos, airline tickets to london coffee, there was something for everyone's taste. It is a great location in the Trastevere, near a lot of restaurants and cafes and not too far from excellent shopping. We felt very safe in the Trastevere neighborhood as well. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know that is going to Rome and Italy!
We came to Rome for a business meeting airline tickets to london and decided to start are Rome trip with some sightseeing. We loved Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy. The staff were courteous, warm and helpful. The bed was firm and comfortable. (I Have a neck injury and this is very important to me). The location was perfect. We were there 4 nights, and then transferred to a high-dollar Waldorf Astoria property in Rome to attend the meeting. It could not compare with Santa Maria Hotel. I will definitely airline tickets to london stay there again.
The only down side of our stay in Trastevere was when we went to a restaurant (recommended on the Internet) and we were charged 100 Euros for a meal which we did not get. We should have stuck with the restaurants recommended by the hotel staff.
We loved the location of the Santa Maria Hotel in Trastevere, an easy walk across the Tiber river to historical Rome. The Trastevere is a lively but laid-back neighborhood, an off the beaten track, but not out in the sticks. The Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy is on a tiny side street just a few steps away from the Piazza Santa Maria, with its beautiful airline tickets to london Basilica airline tickets to london Santa Maria.
Our hotel room was a little on the small side, but clean and quiet, airline tickets to london and looking out onto a lovely courtyard (where they serve breakfast when the weather is good). Breakfast was good, with eggs and cold meats as well as the usual breads, and excellent coffee, of course! Staff were helpful without being intrusive. It is not 'full service' hotel, airline tickets to london there is no restaurant, a limited bar, no health club or gift shop, but for our Rome vacation travel, we preferred a small hotel with character over an impersonal airline tickets to london franchise. We would definitely stay at Santa Maria Hotel Rome Italy again.
We stayed at the Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy for 4 nights in Feb 2009. A very quaint hotel (quite different from the normal hotel chains in Rome). The actual hotel is elegant and well decorated and the rooms have a chalet feel to them as each room opens up onto a central courtyard.
It has all the mod cons one would expect, the negatives were that our Superior room was a bit dark with only one small window, it becomes claustrophobic when spending too much time inside. Also, they don't allow any ironing in the room or personal food and beverages put into the fridge, so perhaps not ideal for a longer stay in Rome. The double bed in our room was laid with 2 single mattresses so there was a dip down the center of the bed.
There is one computer in the main hotel lounge, which is free to use, but there is no internet in the rooms. There is a bar but is often unmanned and we had to ask for it to be opened. All the staff are friendly and helpful and the central patio is very picturesque with its orange trees.
The Trastevere area is quite central, and allowed us to walk to all the main sites i.e. The Vatican museums, St Peters, Roman Colosseum, Roman Forums, Bocca della Verit Square, airline tickets to london Pantheon square, Spanish steps (Piazza di Spagna) etc... and there are plenty of excellent restaurants within minutes of the hotel's front door. So for us it was a very pleasant stay.
My wife and I stayed at this quaint hotel, The Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy in early January 2009. A former cloister it is located in the Trastevere airline tickets to london area of Rome which is across the Tiber River (Trastevere actually mean 'across the Tiber') and very close to all the major Rome tourist sites (Roman Colisseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, etc.) It is a very easy walk to any of these sites. You may have to walk a little further than if you had stayed in central Spanish Steps area or perhaps the Pantheon area, but then you would miss out on great views of the Tiber River, excellent night social life pubs and restaurants, and an authentic Roman neighborhood experience. Also, Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy is an EASY bus ride on the Number 23 to The Vatican and st Peters. The walk to the Rome Colisseum is only about 30 minutes and the walk to The Vatican is also about 30 minutes in the other direction.
Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy is an oasis in the middle of Trastevere. The Trastevere part of Rome is less commercial and has been described as crusty or gritty (I wouldn't airline tickets to london know why) but don't be scared off by these descriptions. If we had stayed in any of the other Rome hotels we passed along a more beaten path, we would have missed this experience. airline tickets to london The area around the Santa Maria hotel has narrow cobbled stone streets and at night is very well lit and very safe, which is a concern for some people when they go to a foreign city like Rome.
Once you enter the green gate from the street and walk down the ivy-covered wall that leads to the front door, you feel like you are in a different world. It is secluded quiet inviting and comfortable. If we had been at Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy with warmer weather we would have spent more time hanging out in the courtyard after a long day of sightseeing in Rome. Mid January isn't prime hanging out weather in Rome.
The hotel rooms are comfortable and clean. airline tickets to london They are not huge but how big a room does a monk or a tourist in Rome need? The bathrooms are modern and clean and the water pressure in the shower is hard and relaxing. You are supplied with fresh towels everyday and there is also a safe in the room.
Trastevere is also a good place to find food. The hotel staff is good at recommending restaurants in Trastevere. You must try either Taverna Trilussa or ai Fionaroli. (I'm going from memory here on the names but I think I'm close on the spelling). It seems like I should put some minuses about the Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy because no hotel ever gets it exactly right. For us, however, it was a perfect little place with helpful, courteous staff and no problems.
We stayed at the Hotel Santa Maria Rome Italy based on some Hotel reviews. We found prices to be much less in Trastevere airline tickets to london (food, drink, souvenirs, lodging) than we experienced in Piazza Navono, Veneto, and Piazza di Spagna. We would definitely return to Trastevere and the Santa Maria hotel. .
Pros's: airline tickets to london For 170 Euros/night airline tickets to london for a double room including a fairly substantial breakfast and evening snacks (excluding drinks) this Rome hotel was good value. I e-mailed the hotel to make reservations for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners, and the hotel graciously made arrangements which they confirmed back by e-mail.
The rooms are cosy clean, with good fresh towels airline tickets to london (no washcloths, as is usual in Rome and Italy.) Many, many restaurants, pizzerias, and trattorias close at hand. Reception and breakfast staff all spoke good English. We arrived around 10:30 am, and were allowed to check into our room early plus were offered coffee and snacks from the breakfast table. We felt safe, as the streets were full of people at all hours, and there were also mounted police.
Con's: Thin dividing walls meant we could hear the guest in the room next to us typing late at night. When our neighbors staggered in after midnight, we heard every word. Take earplugs to Rome if you sleep lightly. The rooms have flat-screen televisions, but no clocks. We asked the hotel if they could reconfirm my reservation with Rome Cabs (by e

The area may not be as famous now as during its heyday but the atmosphere lingers on in the hotels a


A long time ago during the Roman Empire the Via Veneto area was inhabited by rich Roman families with luxurious villas. The area once again experienced a brief resurgence of fame and decadance after Italian film director Federico Fellini released his 1960 classic La Dolce Vita.
The area may not be as famous now as during its heyday but the atmosphere lingers on in the hotels and restaurants. Expect to pay premium rates for your Rome holiday accommodation, but also expect discount car rental in salt lake city to bathe in luxury and be spoilt rotten.
The area borders the relaxing Borghese gardens. Its focal point and heart is the Via Veneto which winds its way from the Piazza Barberini (with Bernini's Fontana del Tritone ) to the Porta Pinciana at the Villa Borghese gardens.
Characteristic of the area are the covered cafes on wide sidewalks (a luxury in Rome) and the beautiful 19th century villas and hotels. A prime example being the US Embassy. This grand palazzo was originally discount car rental in salt lake city the private residence of the Ludovisi family, the original owners of most of the Via Veneto area.
These four fountains each occupy the corner of one building on the intersection, which also happens to be the highest point of Quirinal hill - also the highest and largest of Rome's 7 hills. The work was commissioned by Pope Sixtus V as part of his massive restoration project of Rome.
The Palazzo Barberini in Via delle Quattro Fontane was originally built for Pope Urban in 1623 (Barberini being the Pope's original name) it now houses paintings discount car rental in salt lake city from the 13th to 16th century and exhibitions for the National Art Gallery of Rome Italy.
If you're a thrill seeker and into delvings discount car rental in salt lake city of the macabre kind then it may be worth your while to visit the Santa Maria della Concezione in Via Veneto No. 27. In the crypt beneath the church the bones of thousands of Capuchin friars decorate the walls in a sombre monument to death.
The symbolism is 'our inevitable destiny', 'we are nothing in the greater scheme of things'. A very centering experience and not one you will forget. Opening hours are brief: from 09:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 18:00 because they only run a skeleton crew
There are plenty of commercial centers and outlets in the Via Veneto Rome area, certainly enough to keep the average foreigner interested. However, if you fall into the 'shopaholic category' then you had better head off down to the Piazza di Spagna (Spanish steps) area, without further ado!
From Barberini and Repubblica you can either head across the Tevere towards discount car rental in salt lake city the Vatican City or in the other direction towards the nearby Termini Station. Termini is convenient as you can change Metro lines and then travel to the ancient Roman Colosseum , Circus Maximus or Piramide.
Good tip: The 116 Electric discount car rental in salt lake city bus will take you from Piazza Barberini up Via Veneto and through the Villa Borghese Gardens, and in the other direction it will head down past the Trevi Fountain , Roman Pantheon , Piazza Navona and finally to the front door of the Vatican City before heading back to the Via Veneto Rome area!
Note : If you have not heard about it already on my site then the ATAC public transportation in Rome site has a great tool to calculate the quickest route from point A to point B anywhere in Rome (using public transport). When you arrive at the website click on the English language option to the right. Fill in your departure address and arrival address.
The area is known for its restaurants and pavement cafes so it will not be difficult to indulge your waist line. The Via Veneto Rome area is however not known for its Rome nightlife so if you want to paint the town red (or perhaps in Rome it's correct to say spraypaint the town red ) then you need to head down to the Piazza Navona, Campo d Fiori and Trastevere discount car rental in salt lake city areas.

Seattle and Vancouver are the biggest cities - very urban. Both are beautiful. They have a different feel. Seattle is grungier and funkier with a lot of interesting neighborhoods. Vancouver is cleaner and has an amazing downtown and park system - more planned and organized. Stanley Park and the entire waterfront is great. Vancouver has preserved asia travel guide more of the native American feel (totem pole culture). It is a mix of China and England, in a way.
Depending on how many days you have to spend, you could do all three. Fly to PDX and ride the TriMet light rail into the city. the end of the Red line is right outside the baggage claim at PDX.

You really do not need a rental car in Vancouver since there is a great deal of the city that you can walk or take a HOHO bus to see including Stanley Park. I'm sure you can fly home from Vancouver.
My choice is Seattle and Portland, asia travel guide mostly because Portland is within an easy drive of two of the most spectacular natural attractions in the NW--the asia travel guide Columbia River Gorge (with its waterfalls) and the Oregon Coast.

To make the most of the time I'll be there, i'm really interested in viewing the space needle and a few other sights in Seattle, and though cheap car rental in perpignan france plane or train are both good options to get there from Vancouver, I'm really keen to get there by driving, heck; driving in a different cheap car rental in perpignan france country with a different car and experiencing the sights, even solo, sounds like a great journey.
From what I understand, i'll need to drive across a border between the states, will I need to have any paperwork completed to let me into Seattle from Vancouver and back? Is the drive going to be straight forward or complicated? I've 5 years driving experience across the UK and hope this is enough for a my trip planned. Is it possible to make it there and back in one day, or would I look at taking two days round trip to complete it, and any UK drivers had experience doing this trip, will i need specific documents etc? is there a good route to take that i can take regular stop off's to view sights etc on the way?
The first thing is, you will have to organise a visa to enter the US, before you fly to Vancouver. Without it, you will not be able to cross the border. Actually, what you need is the Visa Waiver Program, cheap car rental in perpignan france which allows you entry into the US for up to 90 days.
Yeah! I can understand your parents reluctance to let you go, even at 25. Been there, done that and seen it many times as well. But maybe they will not feel so bad if you tell them that I did it solo as a grandmother... sleeping in my minivan. cheap car rental in perpignan france In fact I went all the way to AK.
There are several routes you can take to cross the border and drive to Seattle. If you possibly can get hold of maps of BC and WA, that would help you a great deal. Crossing the border southbound onto I-5, the major crossing, is very congested and busy and could take quite some time. There are other crossings cheap car rental in perpignan france which you will see marked on the maps.
If the people you are visiting in Vancouver cheap car rental in perpignan france are members of the CAA, they should be able to send you over those two maps. Otherwise the best thing to do is purchase a Rand McNally road atlas, which essentially has the same information. Maps are invaluable with planning cheap car rental in perpignan france a trip, and essential when on the road.
I would allow at least two nights in Seattle. There is quite a bit to see, besides the Space Needle, there is Pike's Market... don't miss it. The library is also a show piece, as is the Melbourne tram which runs along the waterfront. The HI hostel in Seattle is one of the best in North America. Make sure when you rent a vehicle that it is allowed to cross the border. The drive to Seattle, even on I-5 is quite nice. But you could take a different route each way for variety.
While in Vancouver, I highly recommend cheap car rental in perpignan france that you make a visit to Giribaldi Prov Pk., Whistler, Squamish and if you have the time to the glacial lakes up near Lilooet. Lilooet is a lovely cheap car rental in perpignan france little place. The glacial lakes in that area are three lakes one above the other, each one drains into the one below. There is a lovely walk up to the top lake.
Currently, i'm planning to pick up a rental car in the evening a day before, and will take a few hours to get used to the vehicle (being automatic, my forte' being manual) and then head out to Seattle early the next morning, cheap car rental in perpignan france departing at maybe 6 or 7am.
As a UK citizen, you shouldn't need anything other than the Visa Waiver Program documents. It should be a pretty easy process. You may want to have a copy of your return plane ticket, just in case there are any questions about when you plan to return home, but that's really just an extra precaution and not likely to be a big issue.
I'm not sure of the specific rules in Washington State or British Columbia, but typically, citizenship doesn't matter cheap car rental in perpignan france at all for using a firing range. It's really just an age issue, cheap car rental in perpignan france and you'll need a valid id - for which a British Passport should be just fine. I'd do a search of ranges you might to visit and contact them directly for their policies, but I would't see it as being a problem.
Check their website. First we had the VWP, and in recent cheap car rental in perpignan france years they have had the Esta. I understood that the one replaced the other. However, since I have not used either (I travel on a different visa), cheap car rental in perpignan france I am not 100% sure. But why not ask a local travel agent.
