1 day to go!!! Wheels up at 6:15 am!!

Some dates have been updated on the app over the last hour or so... Not very many though. They still might not be finished...

We have stayed at all three spots and I would say CB and CSR are really nice resorts. You have a table service restaurant at both and both have really nice pools and grounds. There is more of an internal bus system at both as well though so depending on where you are staying within each resort...

Hi everyone, We are planning to avoid the MK on July 3rd but really would like to see the firework's show. Any thoughts on which would be the best option to see the show on July 3rd--an 8:10 pm reservation at Narcoossee's or the DVC Independence Day Dessert Party (Fantasia Ballroom and...

I was told by DVC it was due to construction. There is a note on the website now (in the booking engine) that also says this. I think it is from around Dec 3rd 2019 to late Jan 2020. I think the value rooms started coming back around Jan 26th 2020 or something like that...

This was us last time... We did it (the DDP). We also told ourselves a number of times during some of those table service character meals that it might be our last time eating at some of those places... Quality of food is just not there when you are paying out of pocket for 3-4 disney adults...

We have done really well over the years with the DDP but our girls were both 'kids' during those times and we spent a lot of time at the Disney character meals. On our last trip (15 nights) it was not uncommon for the table service meal bill to approach, and in some cases, even exceed the daily...

We visited Disney this year from Oct 19th-Nov 3rd and we all commented a number of times to each other how reasonable the crowds were at the parks. We even found MK on one of the Saturdays to be pretty reasonable. We did tend to avoid Epcot on the weekends... Our most recent frame of reference...

Thanksgiving in Canada as well... Some schools try to set up a PD day on Friday with Monday off for the holiday. Some universities also have a partial or even full fall break next week to build off the holiday Monday...

We are heading down in a few weeks and were just doing the advance ordering on a couple of BOG reservations and it looks like they don't include the alcohol options for the DDP at least on the pre order page... You can add them but they are in addition to the drink they force you to pick with...

AKL is our favourite. We have spent lots of nights at CBR and it is a nice resort. If you were looking to save a few bucks this would be a good option IMO. But AKL is a phenomenal resort. So relaxing and so themed. Lots of animals to see. We never had any real issues with the busses. You only...

We got a confirmation email shortly after we signed up for the Oct date...

No problem! There is only the one bus stop at each resort. I never found the busses all that busy but there certainly are crowds in the morning. People usually line up and it feels pretty orderly though. It can be a bit of a wait sometimes as AKL is a bit farther away, but I think this is also a...

No problem at all. Depending on your room it can be a pretty serious walk. The hallway set ups try to capitalise on getting as much savanna views as possible but this results in them going on for fairly long distances. If it were me, I would just request being close as possible to bus service...

AKL is really nice. That is our DVC home resort. First two weeks of Dec are likely the busiest DVC time of the year partly due to the very low point requirement costs. Having said that, there are a lot of DVC studio units between Jambo and Kidani. I would still get my request in right at 11...

I think there are lots of ways you could look at it. If you wanted to be conservative, you could calculate the estimated cost of each point by figuring out the number of total points over the full length of contract and comparing this with upfront cost, plus a % for opportunity cost lost on the...

We have DVC as well which makes it difficult to estimate. We have 15 nights coming up during the second half of Oct 2018 (7 nights at BLT, 8 nights AKL value studio). We are a family of four (2 adults and 2 kids 9 or under). plane tickets about $1800 (Canadian) DDP about $3,000 USD AP from...

For us, we think there is value in paying for the DDP as long as we have kids (9 and under) especially if we are doing a lot of character buffets. Those are expensive even for kids but the cost of the DDP for kids is only around $25 a day. Some of those meals are close to this cost for just the...

I see that Disney has some evening EMH at HS over the summer. Anyone have an informed opinion on if they will offer evening EMH at HS in the fall? Thanks...

We have a stay booked in Oct at Jambo-AKL. I can totally appreciate how people are feeling about the pool issue. It's expensive. People have high expectations. Especially if this is a trip you have been saving for and it does not happen very often... I am surprised Disney is being so difficult...
