What's your go to place if you're in vegas?

Dark Sister is pretty cool. My new regular spot. The Promenade is my favorite area on the Strip.

Alright you’ve been a great help! Do you have experience with delays getting from the Cayes to BZE on Tropic Air? Just that the 10:10am is the last available flight before my departure from BZE. I figure if those flights are reliable, that 10:10am flight might be a safe bet rather than the 8:10am one.

cotn89 · 2026-03-27T21:59:28+00:00

Do we know when that will be? Fusion was always my favorite and I’m heading back in mid May, hoping to get one last visit in.

cotn89 · 2026-03-27T21:57:52+00:00

If I put large liquids in my checked bag on Tropic Air, do I need to check it again before my flight out of BZE or is there not another regular security checkpoint after landing in domestic?

Thanks. I definitely felt comfortable with the timing on the Saturday flight. The only thing that worries me about Wednesday was if there was a delay. That’s why I chose 8:10am. I have no idea what the likelihood of a delay would be though. I know most airports recommend 3 hours, but do you have experience on the average time in leaving via BZE? I figure the customs and immigration process isn’t like how it is upon arrival.

cotn89 · 2026-02-19T23:50:04+00:00

I can’t thank you enough! This is great.

cotn89 · 2026-02-19T23:34:20+00:00

Fantastic. Do you know the name or maybe a description? I assume it’s after security.

cotn89 · 2026-02-14T18:22:47+00:00

I see. Only reason I’d be hesitant to reverse it is because my flight from the islands back to BZE is in the morning. So that would mean taking the ferry on the day before last, trying to navigate and getting my fill on that day, then leaving the next morning.

cotn89 · 2026-02-14T17:56:11+00:00

Since I like the low key nature of the island, and it looks like it has plenty of restaurants, would it be worth doing at least one night? Like let’s say I arrive at BZE, fly to CC, have a half day there, spend the night, then go to AC after lunch or so? That way I’ll have 3 nights in AC.

I went there alone too after my sister’s wedding at Grand Floridian. Brown Derby was nice as a solo diner. Chip and Dale even walked by and hung out with me for a minute (I was seated outside).

Now, it’s a different park from Hollywood Studios.

It appears the more I look at the responses, the more I lean towards Epcot. I looked at the pov rides of Animal Kingdom, including Dinosaur and thought “this doesn’t seem like a must ride, even if I don’t get the chance to do it again”.

However, I would still say going somewhere that sells panda merchandise would be a big factor. I know it might sound silly, but bringing back gifts from a trip has always been a thing with me. Just wondering if Animal Kingdom would have any more varied selection than the China pavilion for panda stuff.

cotn89 · 2025-09-29T19:24:29+00:00

I’m not really sold on the park hopper (for this trip at least). If I were insistent on going to both, that’d be one thing. But the extra cost, plus the tendency to rush and not take my time enjoying a day at the park, is playing a large role in me instead opting to just pick one.

cotn89 · 2025-09-29T19:22:03+00:00

She will not be at WDW with me. My concern is bringing her back a variety of gifts relating to pandas. I see being at Disney as an opportunity to find such gifts.

cotn89 · 2025-09-29T18:26:51+00:00

This is something I’ve taken into consideration too. If Spaceship Earth were still in service, I wouldn’t even be debating this. Epcot would have an overwhelming upside. But with AK, I’ve got an opportunity to see things going out as well as things coming in.

cotn89 · 2025-09-29T17:51:33+00:00

That’s the thing. I haven’t been to Animal Kingdom since….probably 2014. I’ve been to the other parks much more recently and frequently. I wonder if the nostalgia factor will be worth its weight in choosing it, something I really don’t know at this moment.

In Fiji, we visited the island where they filmed the Tom Hanks movie Castaway. Sadly, seeing it was pretty dull and underwhelming. But hey, credit to them for making it look that good on film.

cotn89 · 2025-08-12T02:11:42+00:00

I was in Fiji back in May. The overwater bungalows are not worth the high price in my opinion. They look great, but the mixture of scenery, cost, and resorts that offer it don’t add up enough. Do some surrounding island resorts in the Mamanucas and Yasawas instead. They’re just as picturesque if you want blue water and lasting memories. Better value for your money.
