Thanks for all the info. How was the food at Medieval Times? And any how bout the food at the hotel or at CityWalk if you have any recommendations. I will let you know if we decide to do the blue man group. Is that 20% off the Florida rate or regular rate? Also would you say it is worth it to pay extra for tier 1 seats vs the tier 2 seats?I’ve been to all of those dinner shows plus La Nouba and Capones. Of those I’d say I enjoyed Blue Man Group ever so slightly more than the rest but Medieval Times is definitely a close second. For adults I think you would enjoy Blue Man Group better for kiddos Medieval Time BUT the Blue Man Group is definitely kid friendly. Lots of interactive things going on during the show, lots of cool/gross things like spitting paintballs and catching 100 marshmallows in their mouth to go with some really neat music. Moreover, as a Universal preferred annual pass holder I get 20% off Blue Man Group and it doesn’t have to be for me. If your interested I’ll give you my spam email account info and you can use my preferred number to save on the tickets if you do decide on Blue Man Group. I don’t have any discounts on the other dinner shows (except the pretty nice Luau at Royal Pacific in Universal. That’s absolutely awesome for adults (honestly I thought the Kalua pig was better there than the two Luaus I did in Hawaii including the famous one at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Oahu) but especially if you have small kids they’d probably enjoy the entertainment elsewhere.
As far as Cabana Bay if you haven’t stayed before you need to know a couple of things. 1) The Tubes for the lazy river are not free so make sure you bring a CC to pay for those and your drinks. 2) The bar next to the main swimming pool called Atomic Tonic makes really good 1950s/1960s style daiquiris but DONT get the one with jalapeño, it’s too overpowering in the daiquiri so that grassy/herby flavor is all you can taste, it would have been miles better with a fruity pepper like habanero. 3) The Swizzle Lounge located where you check in does GREAT 1950s/1960s era sophisticated cocktails but it has really limited hours. Definitely worth a stop though.
And when you come back, I do like Cabana Bay and Sapphire Falls quite a bit, but Royal Pacific and especially Portofino are worth the upgrade. If I was “doing the Resort” I’d go with the pricier options, it is really worth it. But I stay at Cabana Bay when I want to drink that night and therefore want to stay “on campus” without driving but don’t want to take advantage of much of the Resort. (Aka I usually stay there everytime I go to HHN).
Where are you staying in PHX? (If you are staying in phoenix). I can give you a boatload of good recs for downtown/midtown, this area is getting pretty great.I might even see you who knows as we will be in Utah for a tiny bit. I’m leaving the middle of next to fly into Phoenix. Then we’re going to do the Sonoita and Willcox AVA plus spend some time in Tombstone and at the Casino Del Sol. Then up to the Verde Valley AVA, Sedona and then brewery tasting plus the observatory in Flagstaff. Then we’re doing Monument Valley, cutting over to Lake Powell to do a cruise plus some hiking around Antelope and Glen Canyons. Then we’re doing the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and maybe some other sights in the SE most tip of Utah. Then heading back to Phoenix to fly out.
Any suggestions for Lake Powell, Monument Valley and/or the North Rim? Such as restaurants, hotels, nearby daytrips not to be missed etc...? I’ve the Big 5 in Utah plus Goblin Valley, Pink Sand Dunes, the Staircase, Dead Horse (Valley?) and done all of the GC except North Rim before.

Also, if you don’t mind waiting 90 minutes for BBQ, check out Little Miss BBQ while here. Top 3 all time for me, and I eat a lot of BBQ. And don’t just take my word for it - 5 stars on yelp with 1300 reviews.

I went to Medieval times many years ago and Blue Man Group in Boston earlier this year. Of the two, I'd pick Blue Man. The food at Medieval was meh.Thanks for all the info.

Not sure of anything specific but Boston is always pretty expensive. Will you be there for the FSU game Friday night?I'm going to Boston next week, but is going on there. Every hotel room in the city is ridiculous. The Ritz was the cheapest at 450 per night.
I was curious, so I called the Westin Copley Place, which is where I've stayed when I've been to Boston. The last time I was there was maybe 6-7 years ago, but the hotel was $250-$300/night, but it was coming up at $599 per night next week. The woman at the hotel said that there was nothing big going on, and that price was just "normal" now. She said it was more than that for tonight. I guess maybe I'll never go to Boston again - it's a nice city, but not $600/night nice.I'm going to Boston next week, but is going on there. Every hotel room in the city is ridiculous.

Awesome. The wife and I have never been. Let me know if you have any tips or recommendations once you get back. We plan on staying in Bayeux a few days and just driving to Mont St. Michele and along the Normady Beaches before heading to Paris for 4-5 days to explore and see the sites.Hi, Zeke. Arrived in Bayeux earlier today.
