My husband and I were looking forward to purchasing points at Ft. Wilderness. We have fond memories of staying there with friends and family. We also wanted to be able to bring our dog along on some Disney trips. However, the new cabins are awful. The layout doesn't make sense with the bathroom...

I wonder if Disney had put some money and thought into plussing both these attractions if that would still be the case? My son loved exploring Tom Sawyer Island when he was a kid. It was a great way to run around and blow off steam. However, it is a pain to get to the island and it can take a...

I'm in for the 10 miler! I usually run the 10k, but decided to challenge myself with the extra 4 miles this time

There are some fun bars on property!

Yes, that is what I was originally curious about. How many of us, Disney loyalists, who, many years ago booked hotels, but now use points to stay instead, has made an impact on resort bookings? Have they robbed Peter to pay Paul? The resorts became the best part of a Disney vacation and I hope...

This is interesting, it appears then that they go hand in hand. I would have guessed the opposite. Is this analysis DVC rooms booked with points or cash?

Does anyone know how much impact DVC has on hotel bookings? Before we bought our points, we were traveling with friends and family and booking hotels rooms. Port Orleans was our favorite place to stay, but we haven't stayed there in many years.

We are at a stage in life with plenty of disposable income and stay at plenty of nice places. Disney isn't our only vacation destination. Disney has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. Being a Florida resident, I have been to the parks through it's various stages, as well as mine...

This is what our family is doing. We love the ambiance of the different resorts and take advantage of the activities each one offers, especially as we have gotten older. The cost of the tickets to enter the theme parks is outrageous, especially since there is nothing new to see. I realize that...

Thank you. I hope that is enough for the resort. I found it difficult to find a space at VGF when we stayed last time and had to park in the main lot. It made for a long hike back to the room.

Where will the parking be for this resort? From the video it doesn't look like there will be enough room for a parking lot

I was at Disney this past weekend and finally got to see Luminous in person. I thought it was okay. The fireworks were impressive, but the music was not memorable. I think the music from Harmonious was better, I just hated the permanent structures and the chaos of the show. I really wanted to...

This looks like a very enjoyable race. I am already coming down for the Springtime Surprise weekend, so I can't run both. Hopefully, they will have it again next year and give those of us who are out of state a little more time for planning.

The music from RoE is what makes it superior from all other nighttime shows. I listen to it occasionally in the car and it still gives me goosebumps and makes me teary eyed.

If you are a Poirot fan, then you should check out Britbox streaming service. They have all the old episodes, plus a ton of other great British mystery series. Death in Paradise and Vera are must sees!
