  We definitely need a minion suite video, if only so you can steal the moon! 🌛

  Great video!<br><br>As a disabled person who has to use a scooter, I’d just like to add a few things for those like me. The rooms at Portofino are the largest of the Premiers and you’re able to get your ECV inside to charge at night easily. The hallways are wide and the elevators large enough to pull in then back out. <br><br>Also, the busses aren’t the only way to get your scooter to the parks and back. Each boat can take a scooter each. You just drive up and sit IN your ECV right next to the captain. Saves your battery. Also, they have their own security lines, so you don’t have to wait in them at City Walk.

  20 yrs Disney DVC-er from CT here, but this past February we stayed at Portofino for the first time and had many ups and very few downs. Huge rooms where you literally would have trouble jumping off ANYTHING and touching the ceiling, perhaps the most comfortable beds and pillows of any FL resort, including Four Seasons and numerous convenience factors. 13 minute walk to parks (nice walk too), VERY fast boat, they do not spare the throttle let me tell you! I was disappointed with the bfast buffet at Trattoria del Porto, but an amazing dinner there that evening. Perhaps the best single meal I have ever had in FL which is saying something, service, drinks and meal were bordering on spectacular. The bathrooms were unusual, they&apos;re huge but they have a tub shower vs a large walk in and they&apos;re a combo toilet and shower bathroom vs splitting them up which seems like a bad use of a huge room. The stores are great, lots of stuff to stroll around and explore, the pools are great and different ones cater to different tastes (eg quiet, kid friendly, cabanas, poolside drink and meal service etc). The &quot;quick&quot; service spot was anything but quick, but the food was very good and worth the wait. I think about the hand made chips all the time. Complimentary Express Pass, concierge text service (Lourdes was a sweetie) and on-site Starbucks makes Portofino a property we&apos;re definitely going to use again, perhaps for Epic later in 2025. It&apos;s a definite winner, and a cut above most. -JP Powers

  I switched to Portifino Bay for a Feb trip based on your recommendation because it includes express pass. The only issue we had was you can hear EVERYTHING from the halls and rooms around you. If you bring a noise machine or earplugs, you should be fine. It was all around a great stay and I used tons of your videos to help with planning. Thanks so much for all the tips!

  My life hack: go to the fitness center to fill your water bottle with tastier water than the tap before and after the parks. You’re welcome 😀

  I&apos;ve stayed there several times. I love it and after seeing footage of Helios, it will continue to be my favorite.

  I stayed here just over twenty years ago with my mom and dad (I was going into my senior year of college). &nbsp;My mom has since passed, and I look back on this vacation and hotel with very fond memories :) &nbsp;Thanks for showing! &nbsp;Glad it still looks great!

  I know you pace your videos, but it&apos;s silly but fun to imagine you jumping from Paris back to Orlando to do a staycation. &nbsp;😂
