Travel agents generally deal with bookings direct through Disney. That is doable, but the cost will be enormous. It is much better, IMHO, to rent DVC points though one of the reputable point rental brokers like DVC Rental Store.

We have never used LED Christmas lights at our house and never will. Even ones designed to look like incandescent lights. They still make and sell incandescent lights, so no reason to go for "look alikes." I loathe LED Christmas lights.

They have announced that the original unaltered theatrical cut of Star Wars is coming back to theaters in 2027 for the 50th anniversary. And rumor is that they are preparing all three films of the original trilogy to get a proper home media release in their original theatrical forms. I suspect...

I would kill for Epcot to be open until 2!

As a certified night owl, it drives me nuts how much of Disney closes up shop at 9 p.m. each night. We can't be the only people who don't want to rope drop the parks but would much rather hit the parks and the restaurants at night, can we?

The lifecycle chart for AI:

AI is so horribly, horribly bad at just finding and reporting basic factual information that I can't believe anyone actually believes it will be as revolutionary as claimed. It often literally just makes crap up and presents it as solid fact. If it cannot handle basic tasks that a search engine...

I'm Catholic, so we can't have completely gluten-free hosts for Communion, but even we now have a "very low gluten" host for people with sensitivities and the option of receiving only from the chalice if one cannot have any gluten at all. So, yes, I agree with you that pointing out gluten-free...

As we get into November now, I am curious if anyone is around Walt Disney World for any reports on Christmas decorations going up in the first week. Obviously, I know from the WDWMagic story that the Magic Kingdom is already fully decorated for Christmas, tree and all. Just wondering what else...

Those look interesting. I may check them out. For me, vision in my left eye looks very much like a camera that is horribly out of focus. I can see light and colors and maybe some big shapes, but I can't focus on anything. My right eye, with glasses, is normal. That prevents me from seeing 3D...

I've always thought of 3D as kind of a "fad" technology that comes in and out of favor, but never really seems to have staying power. Just go to any movie theater and look at how many 3D showings of a film they have vs. the 2D showings. When given the option, a majority of people seem to prefer...

All signs, though, are that attendance and hotel occupancy is far below the norm and continues to fall. That's why we are seeing so many unusual offers being made right now. Yet Disney still chose to roll out a new price increase. They didn't have to lower prices. They could have built a great...

But is going to a live WWE show luxurious? 🤔

How did this turn into a 10 page debate on the meaning of the word "luxury"?

Okay, this actually made me laugh out loud for real. So, well played.
