Seriously the best drink in Epcot 🙌

Of course!!! We love the Volo museum & the Jurassic gardens were pretty awesome 🙌 Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

The Stoney Creek Inn located in Galena! We really loved the hotel.

It’s such a fun ride, but can definitely be dizzying 😵‍💫

Thank you so much!!! 😊 If you have any other questions that we possibly didn’t answer - let us know & we might be able to help as well! Since recording this tour we have stayed at CBR again for another 12 day trip and have gotten a pretty good feel for the resort. We really appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and leaving such a kind comment ☺️

It’s our childhood park and we still love going to it 😊 it has changed over the years, but the nostalgia and amazing history behind “Great America” will always remain 🙌 Happy to hear you’ve also made some amazing memories at this fun park! Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment ☺️

She is a moth. A gypsy moth

This would have been in April! Something to know about Disney World and Florida in general - it’s most likely going to rain every single day, regardless of the time of year you go. There are short mid day rains almost every day, but typically not as many full rainy days. The rain this day probably lasted about 45 minutes to an hour, which is pretty typical for the quick Florida showers. June is definitely a nice time to go, but it will be getting super hot - so those mid day rain showers to cool things down may be appreciated! 😅 Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

We have definitely heard that rumor while it was swirling around in some early park plans & maps that had been seen! I’ll try to do a deep dive and see what more information I could find to a recap. If Lost Island were able to add those unique coasters as well, it would truly be a top destination theme park! We already love it so much

@@keepingupindisney Thank you, I would love to see a video on that.

That would be amazing if the park could build a resort in the future - it would fit perfectly along with the water park & theme park for an ultimate vacation destination in the middle of Iowa, especially when paired along with some mini golf and go karts too! We had looked up some hotels in the area & found some reasonable ones within 15-20 minutes, but it would be amazing if there was something closer in the area that offered near instant access to the parks. Hopefully if Lost Island is able to get more support and keep growing that could be a possibility for the future. Buying up land between the parks definitely sounds like a solid proactive idea, for either hotel/resort accommodation, or even just future expansion of the parks. “Lost Island Resort” could truly be a hidden gem and magical oasis deep in the Midwest. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment 😊

Thanks so much for the info - how interesting! Seems like they would have been a pretty unique place to stay if visiting Indiana beach. It’s such a charming park! Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment 😊

@@iluvcruising we really love CBR! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it.

Yes! It was so exciting to see the sign for something “hot” coming next year - and to find out it was indeed going to be a coaster, and a single rail at that, was the best news ever! I really hope the park continues to grow and gains more recognition, because it really does have the bones to be a top tier theme park. It’s already top of the line and definitely worth a visit - the theming, attention to detail, and vibes really set it apart. It is unfortunate that it’s a bit out of the way from major cities and isn’t near any airports - we’re a bit lucky to have it within a pretty driveable distance from where we’re located. Whenever you do make it out to Lost Island, we can’t wait to see what you think as well! Thanks so much for watching 😊

The best western was really nice, and extremely large and had so much to offer! The basketball/tennis courts & full gym and spa were definitely a nice touch, although we didn’t have much time to spend around the hotel. The absketball was pretty fun actually lol definitely a good way to get a workout in with a little bit of entertainment in there as well. IB does have such an interesting lineup, very unique coasters all compactly fit together. They don’t have any huge heavy hitter coasters, but the lineup is well rounded. If you’re looking for woodies - they’ve got Hoosier, cornball, and lost coaster to satisfy that itch, and if you’re looking for some unique steel coasters they’ve got those too in Tig’rr, Steel Hawg, and the triple loop. They also just announced that they’re changing the trains and restraints for the triple loop to make it more comfortable, so maybe I’ll actually be up for trying it on the next visit 😅 Lost coaster truly is one of the coolest coasters though. The carp are crazy! There are seriously SO many. The boardwalk really does have good energy and vibes. Tig’rr was actually better than expected, it looked rough and rickety but really didn’t ride that way! It was like a fun compact slightly less thrilling mini Whizzer from our six flags lol. I love those Schwarzkopf cars that are so spacious and comfortable and feel like lounge chairs. It would have been great if the crow was terrifying 😂 but alas, it was just the friendly IB crow in a fun little Santa hat! I can totally see what you’re saying about the shooting elements taking away from the dark ride - the only thing I did like about the shooting in the Den was that hitting targets did activate things within the ride and made animatronics and other props move around, so it was kind of fun to try to hit the targets and see what was going to happen! But it did take my attention a way a bit from just enjoying the ride. Still such a cool dark ride that was very fun and also unique. The Ferris wheel and sky ride both provide really cool views of the park & are a great way to see the coasters better and relax for a bit. We had a lot of fun too in the arcade, playing some games, and just browsing all the different shops that IB has. All in all - it was a great day, and we can’t wait to go back to Indiana beach. Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

Thank you so much Matt! We really enjoyed Lost Island. It’s a true hidden gem that we hope continues to flourish 🙌 Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment 😊

Let me go rewatch and look at the directions and my model again to see if I can recall! It was a while back now, but I don’t remember having tooooo much trouble with it!

Thank you so much! We definitely like to provide as much detail as possible whenever we can 😅 some of those little things can hopefully help others be better prepared and ready! Cabana bay really is such a fantastic resort. There is so much to do for families & it has such a reasonable price point. We definitely recommend checking it out for a visit to universal! 🙌 Thanks so much for watching 😊

That’s what I’ve been hearing and seeing now too! A single rail would fit perfectly in the Mura section and the wild mode would honestly fit great in any of the other 3, but Yuta and Udara have coasters already, so I could see Awa being a good area since it’s a bit more chill like the wild mode would be. Definitely sounds like exciting things on the horizon for lost island 🙌

@@keepingupindisney There's an old master plan floating around with expansion pad ideas that had a spinning family coaster next to Matugani that I could easily see being used for the Moose. And given the new plush/book combo this season and the sporadically appearing puppet version, I'd imagine it'd be themed after the Yik Yik horned fox creatures.

@@FigmentJedi I heard about that too, and that would be amazing. A wild moose themed to Yik Yik for the Yuta section would be amazing. I could totally see it happening 🙌 The single rail was officially announced as Fire Runner for the Mura section, so hopefully some of these other rumors will come true too!

The Raptor is now confirmed. It's supposed to open for the 2025 season. No official word on a Wild Moose yet, but it would fit the park very well

@@CJGsquared I saw the raptor announcement!!! So exciting! I really hoped that was coming to Mura and it’ll be a perfect fit. Hopefully we’ll hear some more exciting announcements from lost island soon enough 🙌 so excited to see the park grow!

Ah thank you so much! I should have known 🙃 it looks like a great park! 🙌 Thanks for watching 😊

It’s only a 4 hour drive and we’ve wanted to go for years too, so we figured it was finally time!!! With it being a pretty reasonable drive, we definitely wanna go back. We’re committed to exploring more Midwest theme parks that are in the vicinity, and definitely plan to hit the likes of CP, holiday world, michigans adventure, Adventureland, silver dollar city, etc. as soon as we can! Lost Island had been a “bucket list” park that was very easy to make happen in reality, so I’m glad this was the year! It really is so beautiful in the park. So much space, so much theming, characters and story and interactions are all fantastic. The app was actually super fun too and I really enjoyed getting to play quizzes to learn more about the lore, collecting badges, playing their versions of angry birds and temple run, and even more! The app has a really cool tracking system that automatically logs rides and inversions and ride times and lengths for you and all the sort to keep upping your badge collection and unlocking avatars. Even since being back I’ve been on the app playing the games and unlocking avatars and leveling up. Finally got the Matugani avatar with some cool badges and have now reached level 11! Can’t wait to go back and collect more treasures in the app too and unveil the full story. We really hope the park gets more traffic and attention too, it really deserves it. The realms are all so well thought out and put together. With some expansion and continuing to keep the theme and bones of what make the park special, it will truly be incredible. The immersive theming in each ride and how they fit together so well to the sections of the park and the overall story is truly impressive. It does sound like they’re planning on expanding and continuing to grow though, rather than stay stagnant, and I think that will bring more people out to visit once it gets some traction or the next “hot” coaster or ride. The park made a hot sauce and went around asking people if it tasted like a “raptor or a moose” and has dropped heavy hints in their socials showing RMC blueprints on their tables… it sounds like a raptor or wild moose is confirmed for next year. My best bet and guess is the raptor will be the “hot” new attraction in the Mura section. The typical red and yellow scheme we see on the single rails would fit absolutely perfectly with everything else. Matugani does remind me a bit of storm runner, just a bit less intense of a launch and the coaster overall is smaller scale. Storm runner is still a top coaster I hope to ride some day, but Matugani was another I was super excited to get 9 rides on in a day - really can’t ask for more! It’s also cool knowing it came from Sweden and has been given new life. It was cool getting a ride on Nopuko too and getting to experience the rare SLC with a helix finish, and knowing it came from South Africa, but it was not the best coaster overall 😅 the ride ops and park employees at every coaster and ride were just top notch and so nice too. I must not have updated, but we did the sky fly again a couple more times and I was able to get the prime spinning seat and actually hit my record of 5 spins in one ride!!! Not too much to write home about, but I successfully did some flips and it was cool! There are 2 specific seats on the outside fronts that are ideal for spinning and make it much easier. It’s near impossible in some of the other seats just because of the physics. Rokava was definitely fun and the theming made it even more exciting. I’m really hoping to go back with a go pro next time and record all the rides, because Rokava really was made next level with the menacing rock demon in the back staring at you while completely upside down and just watching him flip you around at his will. It really was an experience 😂 We really hope you guys get the chance to visit too, as it’s an awesome park and we hope it gets more support and does really well! With what sounds like some awesome potential new attractions coming, it sounds like the park still has hopes to become a staple in the theme park game. And we truly think it could be 🙌 it just has such a cool story too and is really a place that we want to continue supporting! Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

Right?! It’s such a nice, new, clean, and fun theme park too! We were pretty blown away. Definitely a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere! 🙌 The music all around the park was very fitting and really added some nice ambience throughout. If they keep adding more coasters - this could be a top theme park in the US! Thanks so much for watching 😊

It is always a hard day! A visit to AoA, springs, and mini golf definitely make it a bit better. I didn’t catch all of the rolling pianist playing, but she did play a bit more of the song before recording and it was fantastic! Definitely a great experience while waiting in the chicken guy line 😅 Fantasia gardens was so much fun! We had talked about doing it for so long, and are often given the vouchers for the mini golf along with a resort stay but have never used them - so we figured it was finally time and our last day was the perfect occasion since we had a while before needing to get get to the airport. The theming was great & the course was very fun! Hm… the tots are good and we’ve had them before too, definitely shareable and a good value as well - but personally, I’d still argue the tacos are about just as good value and I think I’d take tacos over tots for a meal about 7 times out of 10. I do really love those tots from friars nook, but they’re not something I can eat all the time or multiple times. The tacos are something I typically have about 3 times now per trip, and somehow still crave 😂 and could be split by 2 for a snack as well, maybe not quite full meals for 2 people. Maybe that will be a fun video for us to make next time - Disney quick service value meal smackdown featuring CBR tacos, friars nook tots, and any other good suggestions we can get 🤪 Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

We love animal kingdom so much!!! It is pretty sad that Dinoland and dinosaur will be going away, but I’m excited and hopeful that the replacement will also be a worthy new addition to the park that will make it even better. The Dinoland games were definitely fun to play and I was happy to win some prizes - definitely wanted to get a couple before they would be “extinct” forever. Or for all we know, sold at the character warehouse or outlet stores a few months after closure 😂 It does make me intrigued that the Indians honed attraction will be a new experience. I’m still upset about the Satu’li Beef lol. I should have done more research to find that out before, but I guess I learned the hard way 😅 I wish they would bring back the good beef… the bowls just aren’t the same without it. I guess next time we’ll take a tip from your book and just do Nomad lounge or something else instead! We’ll for sure try to get on Remy’s next time - it would have been fun if it had worked out, but we had such a great day between both parks that we weren’t too upset about it! We’ve been on Remy’s a few times already and will definitely be back for it again 🙌 Thanks so much for watching 😊

We heard it so many times 😂 Jamie did not enjoy guardians too much, but it didn’t cause any motion sickness issues or anything, just a bit too intense for her preferences! It was nice to be able to get one final ride on test track 2.0, although it’s no secret i definitely preferred the original version and am very excited to see what 3.0 will be. I think it may be the best of all, but only time will tell! Definitely excited to see what will come, but also wish they had still kept on with the seeming to be forgotten spaceship earth refurb and update. Le Cellier was definitely very good. Great cheese soup with pretzel bread, delicious steaks, and a mousse moose to finish it all off! Cannot ask for much more 😅 it was such a fantastic day at Epcot! Thanks so much for watching 😊

Hi Julie, thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to leave a comment 😊 I am get a bit anxious when going places and like to know all the details as well, so whenever I’m able to cover a tour or review I try to hit those little things that people may have questions about - and I am so happy to hear that it was helpful for you and had some of the information you were looking for ☺️ We really enjoyed our stay at Cabana Bay and hope you have an amazing time! We’ve stayed at several Disney resorts, and Cabana Bay really impressed us for the price point. Hope you have the best trip ever! Thanks so much for watching 🙂

Thank you so much for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

@@voloantiquemalls4217 we love the antique mall and Volo museum so much! We still come to the antique mall often and it’s one of our favorite places to visit 😊 thanks so much for leaving us a comment!

Agreed! It would be nice if they still ran them, even if just less frequently like every hour or so.

Next June!!!

It was such an exciting day for the both of us! ☺️

Yes!!! It was such a great day 🙌 thanks so much for watching 😊

Omg yes they did actually!!! It was out right on the water across from some of the rides and shops and I was SO confused when I walked past and looked in 😂 they were everywhere and crammed so closely in the water and I couldn’t believe it! Not sure why I didn’t take a video lol but that definitely caught me by surprise 😅 If we go back I’ll document the carp in depth 🙌

@@keepingupindisney it's so freaky! Like why are there so many? What is the purpose!

Surprisingly - it’s not that large of a place, but they fit a LOT into the space and the layout is longer, but quite thin. The majority of the park is on a straight “boardwalk” type area and so many of the coasters and rides are built right next to, or even on top of each other. It’s really quite impressive! For some of the more recent additions like steel hawg and the triple loop they’ve been expanding out from the boardwalk, and on our most recent visit it looked like they’re planning to open some flat rides over in that area as well to fill the now extended areas of the park. Lost coaster is definitely SUCH a unique ride. That’s really the only way to describe it 😅 Frankenstein’s castle was definitely an experience too. Worth trying out once at least for anyone that likes a little bit of haunt, but we don’t think it’s something we would do everytime lol. We actually just got back from a return visit to Indiana beach where we made a more full vlog of our day, so that will be coming to the channel soon! Thanks so much h for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

It really is a shame that they’re changing the system after just getting a good feel for it, the hybrid version feels weird and definitely still doesn’t seem to check the boxes for what a good “fast queue” system could or should look like. But I will also take anything over virtual queues as they’ve very much overstayed their welcome and I never liked them in the first place! We’ve always heard Tony’s was very mid too, or even bad - like the Olive Garden of Disney 😅 but we’re people that actually don’t mind Olive Garden every once in a while and it kinda hits the spot, and Tony’s was much the same; slightly better tasting than Olive Garden, but a little more expensive (and no breadsticks and chicken gnocchi soup). Being in the Magic kingdom and having the parade views though definitely elevated the experience though and we had a great time at Tony’s! It’s not somewhere we would eat regularly, but would definitely go back and had a great experience. I think it’s still a bit of a mystery on what type of mine we explored 😂 that mystery mine sure was mysterious. We were definitely glad we did the railroad and wanted to get on it really badly! It was cool to see where the potential expansions could be, even if things haven’t been super concrete! I’m also skeptical of all the plans and blue sky idea tossed around, but it sounds like at this point I’m fairly confident that there will at least be SOMETHING coming behind big Thunder, even hearing now there might be an expansion behind the plot of pirates too - but definitely still lots of questions of the “what” and “when” and desperately craving something solidified. I feel we’ve got a bit better of an idea of changes coming to animal kingdom and have a bit more detail there, but so much is still up in the air! It was such a fun day at Magic Kingdom! Always nice to end with some fireworks too ☺️ Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment! 😊

The laundry timer is a must 😂 on laundry days the agenda can be hard to coordinate while trying to get things done but also be efficient in cleaning the clothes! Gotta put a little PEP in my STEP if I know the timers gonna be going off soon 😅 The almond cold brew was SO good and it’s really a tough choice between the 2… there’s just something about that sweet cinnamon flavor, and the day I drank the frozen coffee it was quite hot out - so it was perfect for the weather and fit the vibe. I’ll have to try both again to do another comparison - safe to say that both are some top notch coffee options though. Definitely a perk of staying at a Skyliner resort; there are so many other resorts that we wanna try, but it is just so hard to choose one off the convenient travel route now! 🙌 The Lost Bros have some really great music actually and they’re working on another album that sounds like it’ll be coming out this year! They do mostly Disney covers, but they make some pretty great unique ones. Their cover of under the sea was actually featured as background music on American Idol a few months ago which is pretty wild! And apparently some of their songs are on several of the Disney cruise line playlists, so if you go on a disney cruise - you may hear a lost bros song and not even know it! I love all of their creativity and the energy they bring to the world of Disney creators! Super nice people and really cool to meet. Fairview was fantastic too, and not sure if you caught it in there - but they actually brought of Tom, the singer of the plain white T’s, to sing Hey There Delilah and it was a really small and intimate crowd and a super awesome moment that we’ll always remember. We had a really great time trying something different and getting a little outside of the Disney bubble! It was a really good day off from the parks overall 🙌 Thanks so much for watching 😊

Boardwalk is one of our dream resorts!!! We are really hoping to stay there some day 😊 It’s such a fun resort and we really love the vibes. Walking into Epcot anytime sounds like a dream too! Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

When you consider that a single pretzel with cheese is about $8, a latte is $6+, a single churro about $7, and several other items right around the $10 price point that we wouldn’t find as worth it - the $10 for the Mickey waffle platter definitely seems more palatable, especially since we often do spend much more than that even on a singular cocktail pretty much anywhere at Disney 😅 they do also come with strawberries and whipped cream & are a pretty full and filling portion, so they’ve definitely become one of my favorite breakfast options that I actually consider to be one of the more affordable ones. I would certainly have ended up spending more getting just about anything from centertown market at CBR! I love the blueberry Mickey waffles and will defend them all day 😂 they’re always served super hot and fresh too and just really hit the spot with the cold whipped cream and berries. They’re thick and quite filling. Jamie really doesn’t love star tours lol. We only went on it for the new Ahsoka and Mandolorian scenes and because Jake likes it, but it’s typically a skip for us so we can prioritize other things. Tower of terror is fantastic, definitely my (Arie’s) favorite ride - and it might be growing on Jamie a bit too, even if it still scares her a little 😅 We were surprised to see the characters out but it was really cool! We had only met the dwarfs before, but never Gepetto or Pinocchio! It was definitely a great second day at studios to hit some of the things we missed on our first day and also do some favorites again and try some new things! Thanks so much for watching 😊

The grilled cheese is soo good! I actually tried a bite of the brisket one this time too… and I think that might be what I order next time to switch it up - because it was SO good! The grown up lemonade is always a hit 🙌 Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

@@keepingupindisney yum brisket one is on my list for our spring 2025 trip!

It’s so good! I don’t know how we had been to studios so many times and never tried it yet. The pretzel with the beer cheese was SO good, and I really enjoyed the blood orange hard cider. Definitely a fantastic spot to stop for a beer and snack on a studios day 😊 Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment!

Hi! Thank you so much for checking out the video and leaving us a comment 😊 Caribbean beach resort has a bus depot near the main lobby, and then also has bus stops in most of the individual sections too. Buses run to Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Disney Springs, and Typhoon Lagoon all day & they also run buses to Hollywood Studios and Epcot if the Skyliner is down. But if the Skyliner is running - that will be how you’ll get to studios or Epcot. Also a great way to get to the riviera or go check out the boardwalk or other resorts. The bus at CBR stops at each bus stop and goes around the resort in a small loop before picking up all passengers and heading to the final destination. There is also just an internal resort loop bus that goes between the sections and can be a nice way to get around the resort if it’s harder for you to walk long distances. We actually have a couple videos on our channel that might be helpful for some of your other specific questions and to get a feel for the resort! We made a full Caribbean Beach Resort tour & a Caribbean Beach Resort pros and cons video covering many other details of CBR! They are both on our channel ☺️ Thanks so much again for watching!! Please let us know if you have any other questions at all.
