    First 3 nights of an August Split Stay ending at GF: Would you pick Boardwalk Inn or Yacht Club?

    YC is my forever favorite and go-to resort, but I stayed at BW last July. We had daily rainstorms, and the thing I missed the most about YC was everything being under one roof. At BW you have to trek out to the boardwalk for everything; YC is more compact, and it’s a quick indoor walk to the...

    Best approach for securing dining reservations?

    I like Mouskepros. $6 a month, unlimited searches, text alerts. It’s gotten me everything I want my past two trips, and that’s with a party of 10, so I’m looking for two tables every time. It doesn’t really blow up until a week or so before my trip, and then the alerts go crazy as people...

    News Another Fight at Magic Kingdom

    Last October I took a bench while my kids went to ride Mission Space. A family — mom, dad, grandma, 2 young kids, and a baby in a stroller — stop on the path maybe 15 feet away from me and start loudly arguing. Grandma was drunk and obnoxious, and was refusing to let go of the stroller handle...

    Favorite Quick Service?

    Agreed. I thought the food was great at Connections and it’ll be a must-do now. The decor is blah but the lines moved and everyone really liked what they ordered.

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I can’t wait to hear more about the “new recreation and dining options.” The Poly is always a crowded cluster as it is, between guests and visitors who are just there to eat and drink. I have a feeling they’re going to add a quiet pool and a snack bar to the new tower, if even that, and that’s...

    Current Yacht and Beach Exterior Refurb

    The area with rooms overlooking the YC quiet pool and tennis courts were being worked on in November when I was there. Not the most beautiful thing to look at, but there was never any real noise from it. It wasn’t intrusive at all.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I appreciate both perspectives here. If I had to do it all over again, I’m not sure I’d be as forthcoming, because it bit me big time. It was aggravating seeing kids I know were on vacations entering and leaving the school today. When the school nurse and principal called me today in response...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Oh, don’t get me started. My 12 year old was considered fully vaccinated this past Thursday, while we were in Disney World. I’m from NJ and we, like half the state, took advantage of Jersey Week plus a few extra days. I was honest with the school that we were going on vacation, but found out...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I had a real internal struggle over vaccinating my 3 kids. I jumped at my own chance to get vaccinated in March, and forced my Fox News loving fiancé to get his at the same time. But while my oldest 2 boys were eligible all along, my youngest didn’t turn 12 until late August, so I took a wait...

    Trip Report "It's 1,206 miles to Orlando..." -- A Serendipitous August 2021 Uni/WDW Trip Report

    Love this report! I laughed out loud at “just meandering anywhere we wanted, like carefree Disney tourists in the 1980s or something”. So true.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    You’ve got people in every state that refuse to get vaccinated and/or wear masks, and Delta is ripping through children and younger people more than Alpha ever did. I don’t think the Northeast is reversing course so much as altering the course. I don’t doubt the Northeast will have a spike soon...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Ugh. I feel your pain. I’m supposed to check in in 65 days, and I have good days and bad days. Some days I’m super optimistic that things will be better by then, and other days I’m like FLORIDA IS THE WORST, HOW CAN I GO THERE, I MUST CANCEL. My youngest turned 12 today so we’ll all be...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I’m genuinely curious as to what makes you think the outbreak in FL has peaked and is starting to decline. It’s no secret that FL hospitals are full and are turning away very sick patients. Many of those people are going to die at home. It’s also no secret that it’s near impossible to get a...

    Epcot

    My son and niece and nephew have loved Epcot since they were toddlers. It’s not all rides-rides-rides like the Magic Kingdom, but they have a blast anyway and the rides that they do have are ones they would miss a LOT if we skipped Epcot. They loved stopping in all the different countries at the...

    Bucket List. First timer, traveling with a cancer patient, in need of your sage advice. :)

    I’m surprised I’m the first one singing its praises, but GF. You want grown up lovely, you’ll find it there. A lot of people say it’s overrated (I say it sometimes, too) but it’s still a cut above the other resorts. The best of the best CMs, beautiful expanses of greenery, and an overall...
