So I just waitlisted a weekend stay in a 2BR at BLT for Columbus Day weekend in October.

I'm booked at the Boardwalk for January 22 - 27 and just received the notice of ongoing construction during our visit. It's a form letter (of course) so there are no details about the refurbishment, but figured I'd pass along the info. I did a search for Boardwalk refurb and looks like the...

I haven't seen this new patent from Disney mentioned on the boards yet. There's tons of potential for something like this. It will be interesting to see if it ever sees a real application.

Hey all. I just got home from a week at HHI. It was our first full week there and we loved it. One item to know for any of you planning to go in the next few months, the Tide Me Over quick service is getting a total refurb. They added additional bus service to the beach house and I think...

I noticed a building going up at the American Adventure Pavilion last week. Unfortunately I didn't snap a picture of it. It's on the right hand side of the main building. The only permit I can find for it was from January, so it's been going on for a few months now. It's vertical enough now...

Walked from the Boardwalk to Dolphin this morning and they are working on something at the Atlantic Dance Hall. Looks like the could be gating the entrance to the Boardwalk. Has anyone heard anything about it?

This summer we (2 adults with 3 kids age 10-15) are driving to WDW and we're stopping for 2 nights at HHI on the way south. This will give us a full day to enjoy the resort and island. Any recommendations for how to spend the day? BTW - I love to golf, but as a family that's probably not an...

Quoted from the website today - A fresh direction ahead. Our renovated site is coming soon. A Fresh look. Fresh content. A refreshing way to plan vacations. I imagine this has everything to do with the NextGen and MyMagic+ changes. It's certainly time for a new website. This ones...

Picked up my PAP's for next year this morning. YAY! :) This is the first time I'll be a PAP holder. We'll be using them for a trip around the 4th of July and again in early 2014. Thought I'd post a reminder that the $399 deal ends on 12/31, so if you're planning to get them, now's the time.

So we have the thread about non-economical reasons to join DVC. I'd like to turn the tables for those who prefer hard numbers. Here's how it will work: There are expenses, and there are savings. Most of them are specific to how each person/family travels. Add items to each category in your...

Now that Aulani is open, I expect them to break ground on the National Harbor DVC soon. I'm sure the paperwork problem they had with Aulani will need to be fully vetted first, but as soon as that's complete, they should be ready for their next off-site location to start. I can see a trend...

Hey all. My family and I will be at Castaway Cay on 4/19/2011. The shuttle is scheduled to launch that day, and I was wondering if there's any chance we would be able to see the launch from there. I understand that the launch schedule can be changed at any time, but since the dates currently...

I didn't see a thread on this yet and the news is about a week old, but the Disney Dream was floated out of the dry dock recently. It was covered on the Disney Blog here - http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/11/disney-dream-makes-first-public-appearance-in-papenburg-germany/ and...

I did a quick search for this and couldn't find an answer. Probably operator error :shrug:. Anyway, if you want to go to the Boardwalk but not through Epcot, where can you park? Do you go to the Boardwalk resort's parking lot?

How many DVC owners out there take trips to WDW without buying park tickets? I've been generating a list of things I'd like to do at WDW that don't require park tickets. After out first DVC stay at AKL-KV, I think our next trip will be without park passes. There were so many activities to keep...

I'm looking to book our first cruise next year. We are a family of 5, so we need to get a level 4 stateroom. Anything bigger would be out of our price range. It's going to be a 4 night Bahamas cruise on the Disney Dream. So what do I need to know before booking the trip? I know this is a...

No. It's not a new resort. :lookaroun They are bringing the sales team to the Seaport World Trade Center to sell packages. It is happening on Father's day weekend. So my questions are: Has anyone attended one of these sessions, or is this something new? What can I expect for a...
