Is your doctor okay with you traveling in your last trimester? Most will recommend you avoid any travel -flying or long drives in the last trimester. It is still pretty early in your pregnancy and i am sure you are feeling good right now but certainly anything can happen despite if your first...

I could see how he may not want to honeymoon at WDW having never gone and maybe was envisioning more of a adult only resort trip. I guess you could just plan for an Orlando trip with a stay at WDW but look at all the other parks and things to do in the area. Or do some sort of compromise with...

I couldn't agree more!!! This is why i have a trip planned for this April and already am in the planning stages for our big family trip in April of 2108. I love researching and learning about the different restaurants we haven't tried or the little less known things you can do in the...

You may want to look at when other events are going on. From end of March to end of May is flower and garden at Epcot. I am going to experience it for the first time this year. I am a little worried that the parks wont seem as magical as they do around christmas, but the pictures i have seen...

I think you get better deals if you search out the rates/deals yourself. There are not really any savings on park tickets comparing AAA to undercover tourist, i don't believe they have any better access to room discounts. My co-worker went through a travel agent for her families trip and was...

I haven't used the website you listed but did used davids dvc. It was a very easy transaction with no glitches. Communication was excellent. In order to get the dining plan (which would probably apply to any rental company) they suggest buying a disney gift card for the dining plan and then...

fairly new owner so we are working on it. We stayed SSR before we became owners, staying at BWV in April, AKV planned for April 2018 with a possible split stay at Poly or WL. We are hoping to hit all the East coast resorts at some point.

As far as I have ever read - DVD can never increase the total points for the resort -- so if they started out with a total points for all rooms of say 500,000 -- that is all they get to play with -- they can adjust and realign them (which they have done in the past by increasing some week day...

You will save money in the long run if you plan to visit Disney at least every other year. You meet your break even point faster if you purchase a resale contract. So that is definitely something to research. Just to give you numbers that you can see -- we purchased a 120 point AKV contract...

I just checked out that website -- very cool!!! that is exactly what i was looking for. Hopefully that will help with making a room request. This definitely helped me make lean towards staying at Kidani vs Jambo -- We don't mind walking so if we want to be in the hussle and bussle of Jambo we...

Thank you for the detailed response. you explanation was pretty clear as to where those rooms are located. I'll have to check out that website sounds like it is exactly the info that i am looking for -- do you pay for the upgraded touring plans membership? I am considering it, but am not...

I am planning a trip for extended family to AKV - we own DVC but have never stayed at either Jambo or Kidani. I am torn -- Jambo for the more exciting feel, larger grand lobby, more dining options, but slightly smaller room with one less bathroom and a pull out queen. From all that i have...

We did on a whim for my twin boys. Happened to call on a Saturday and we could get in first thing on Monday. It was a great experience and when they went it was $15 each (in 2014) so not too bad seeing that is what we pay at home. I think the barbers in there are staples and were the same...

If you only need 12 points then the easiest thing to do would be to buy the one time points at $15pp (so $180). I believe this can only be done 7 months out and for new reservations so you should be good to do this now. You have to call member services. Like someone mentioned you could just...

We paid cash for a smallish (120 pt) resale contract. We did not want nor could we afford an additional monthly payment. Buying direct would have been much too expensive for us and we did not want PVB or AUL for our home resort. Buying resale fit our needs right now to travel every other year...
