We are Disney Visa card holders as well as AP and I didn't get an email about either. Does anyone know why that would be? However, I was able to get the AP discount on a short trip we had already planned for January. Saved $160 at Pop Century by applying the discount.

We are trying to get a reservation for 5 at Roundup and everything is taken. Can someone tell me if they use the walk up waitlist? We were there this past May and I seem to remember that they do but wanted to make sure. I am going to keep trying for a reservation but wanted to see if the wait...

We requested a merge last week and it took 5 business days for the merge to happen. They tell you it could take 5 to 7 business days but this is the first time it has taken that long. In the past it has only taken one day to merge. It was somewhat frustrating because we couldn't make dining...

We have tickets for Tuesday night the 20th and it looks like our adult age son will not be making the trip. The tickets for the party say non-transferable but on My Disney Experience there is the option to transfer to someone else in our friends and family group. Has anyone actually tried this...

There are 5 of us and I have been trying for months to get a reservation for 5 at Whispering Canyon. I currently have one for 4 but have had no luck adding 1 person to it. But....there is availability for 2, 3 or 4 within 10 minutes of our time. Has anyone showed up with an extra person and...

Our use year is Feb. We have 175 points that became available Feb 2022. We haven't used them and my deadline for banking them into 2023 is Sep 30, 2022. We are planning a trip for early October 2023 to celebrate our twin daughters senior years in high school. I am aware that my 11 month...

We just became direct DVC owners back in July. We are looking at a trip for Christmas this year and as luck would have it I was able to get 3 nights reserved at Poly for Dec 26-28 (waitlisted for another night). We are still debating on which week to go and I can now see that there is...

Back in March we stayed at Art of Animation and stopped by the front desk of the resort and they had them ready for us. They are themed for the 50th Anniversary.

We are new owners and planning our Welcome Home trip for March 2023. We can get a poly studio that is a lake view for 19 points more than a standard view for our entire trip. Is it worth it? We have never stayed at a monorail resort so we are excited.

Perfect. Thanks!

We just purchased VGF direct with a February use year and I am still getting my head around the points banking system. On our dashboard we have 2022 and 2023 points loaded. I know that I have until September 30 to bank those points. My questions is once I bank my 2022 points when do they...

We purchased for the first time a few weeks ago at Grand Floridian and received a February use year. With everything loaded we now have Feb 2022 points and Feb 2023.

We are not currently DVC owners but I've been looking at it for a while. Recently I started talking to a representative and have the current pricing with all of the incentives. The current incentives run through July 13th (this Wednesday). My question is how often the incentives are extended or...

We were there last week so here goes... Negatives: The masks on transportation weren't bad but make no sense as far as crowds go. I get that it is not their choice but it is still frustrating. We were just as crowded in the pre-show of Haunted Mansion as any bus, monorail, or skyliner...

My family was at DW during this but we were not at the parks. However, we were out picking up dinner and I can honestly say I have never seen so much rain at one time. It also lasted for a very long time. We were grateful that it was our rest day.
