I’ll be there from August 7-14. I’d love to hear your experience. Not having fast pass has changed how we will navigate the park. I’m thinking you have to be there on the ropes when they park opens or you will struggle to get in many rides.
Correct. It is harder without the Fast Pass. When we were down there recently they mentioned brining it back, maybe by fall, but they were thinking of charging each person extra for it(think they said $25 for a Fast Pass). You are likely best to pick the rides you want, get there early and pick your #1 ride and go get it when they open. Of course we went without kids and went to Epcot and enjoyed the countries and beverages each has to offer.
Said my opinion. hahaha, I would ride Flight of Passage every time over Rise. Just asked my son and he agrees with me.
I did Lamanai when I went to Belize. I enjoy the old Mayan ruin sites.
My wife and I did the boat ride back to Lamanai. That was a really nice experience. It’s interesting the grasp the Mayans had on science and engineering. Then there was the ritualistic sacrifice stuff.
We just stayed there. The Trolley will take you to the beach. You can catch it near the light house and take it to their beach access. They have two locations for the beach. They have a big club house at the beach with restrooms, bar area, restaurant, and shop. Trolley takes you right there. I think it starts at 10am and runs past dark. Different routes to different areas but there are stops along the way, but the lighthouse is a main hub to catch it.
When I played it is with a Fore Caddie. I was worried about the same, but SHE(yes female who played college golf) was awesome. You have one for the whole group. She lightened the mood and is there for you to have a good time. Ended up not being intimidating at all. They stand on the tee and give you distance where to hit to and then they go ahead and spot the ball. Then give advice on the next shot and distances to the green, etc. They help you read putts. You have one for the entire group. I paid 289 plus tax and they recommend a 30 dollar gratuity to the caddie.
I’ve played Golden Bear and Island West as well I‘m pretty sure. I usually remember when I get on the course that I’ve played it before. That’s another bad thing about having a twosome when playing at the beach. You sometimes get paired up with someone. That can go either way. We were paired with another twosome once that were a little rough under the gills. One dude had a Charlie Manson haircut and his partner went 400 pounds. They played from the tips and were absolutely horrible. Most tees they never drove the ball past where we were waiting on the regulation tees. (We try to pick tees in the 6300-6500 range.) After 9 holes they went in for a hotdog and we just left them. Never saw them again.
I've never really had a bad experience getting paired with people. I have had good and bad players, but most are there to have fun. Had a few characters along the way. Best one was recently when my cousin and I were playing and the folks we get paired with are from California and had his trophy wife with there implants and she and they were proud of them. Got more odd when he told us they were in for his mothers funeral and the dad called right before and they were making arrangements. He hangs up says yeeha that was about mom and they goes on to say we are playing here today, this course tomorrow, have a tee time Tuesday, funeral Wednesday.
Definitely would like advice. My daughter was telling me that you had to do this but we don’t know the particulars. Is it done in the Disney app? Do we have to be in the park to do it? So many questions. Lol
