I'm not saying they are going to build another park any time soon- or ever for that matter (though I think they probably will eventually)- but the parks are far closer to their capacities now than they ever were when they build all of the previous parks. Same for universal. Strictly speaking...

When the day comes that they build a 5th gate- whenever that is- this is where it will be. This site is already an approved location for resort development, it's larger than the area of the MK, including support spaces (not including parking), it has existing major road infrastructure, the...

Well, I wasn't planning to comment, but sure, why not. I have no idea if they are or aren’t going to build a 5th gate, but if they are, it will be a minimum of 5 years from announcement to opening. Here's a couple thoughts: If you've maxed out what you can charge for tickets, and you've maxed...

I'm going to second whoever said to wait a couple months and buy at Poly to avoid the resale restriction. Because the new Poly tower is being added into the existing DVC timeshare, it should have the exact same terms as the existing units. That means that it should hold more value than Riviera...

I thought about buying new tickets, but I need FIVE 5 day park hoppers, so that's $$$$$. WDW wouldn't be so bad since we go there regularly, but DL is a 6 hour flight, so who knows when we're gong back.

Thanks. Any idea if it's true that I could have anyone go to the ticket booths and upgrade them for me- like if my brother was going out there for work? That's what I was told, but it seems really suspect to me that Disney is going to let some random person with the e-ticket codes, who isn't...

I've answered peoples questions before, but I don't think I've ever ask one of my own. We've been to WDW many times but never to DL. We had a trip planned for the summer of 2020, but COVID took care of that. Unfortunately, we bought DL tickets through Undercover Tourist about a month before...

I don't believe this is true- at least for existing properties. They can do anything they want for future development. First, I think we need to clarify that while everyone refers to it as Disney Vacation Club, DVC is technically the common owners association. The development, marketing and...

I think you probably get more done if you hit 1 park all day/night vs park hopping, but it's really rough after a day or two. We prefer to rope drop a park every morning in order to get big rides in, stay till the park gets stupid crowded/hot (sometimes longer if we're trying to catch a show or...

My bigger problem with WDW is that at the same time they have increased the cost of EVERYTHING at a rate that exceeds inflation (significantly exceeds CPI inflation in my opinion), and added countless additional charges (parking being the biggest), they have also exponentially increased the...

Yea, Last month. We were on Winnie the Pooh and it broke down so they gave us MDE fast passes. Good on any ride except 7DMT and had to be used that day. We used them later that day on Space Mountain but they didn't show up in MDE (I'm not sure the cast member really knew what they were doing...

I ask a couple times when I was there in January and was told that due to COVID they weren't handing them out. I was just there in June and didn't even ask due to the number of obviously new cast members we were encountering.

I believe that Warner Bros. does own the Looney Tunes IP, but I'm not sure that they do for some of the other newer stuff like Harry Potter. Just because you produce and/or distribute a movie doesn't mean that you own all the rights. I'm sure that J. K. Rowling retained a lot of the rights-...

Yes. We've done that before.

We're DVC. I wasn't thrilled with out most recent trip. Disney should not assume DVC means you will ALWAYS be back. Not only are there other options to use points (use more points to stay at a bigger/nicer place instead of going a 2nd time or exchange points to use through RCI at non Disney...
