    DVC Rental vs. Off-site villa

    Can I ask how long out you made your reservations and what category you booked? And we've looked into condo rentals. We only need 2 bedrooms max, but I'll look into the Global Resorts. Otherwise it sounds like the Sheraton will probably be the best fit for our needs unless I personally am...

    DVC Rental vs. Off-site villa

    We will be driving from NJ to Orlando, so we will already have a car no matter what. We would like to have a kitchen with a stove so we can cook and we are very much NOT fans of the value resorts which is why we were looking at Sheraton and DVC rentals, though I could be convinced to stay at a...

    DVC Rental vs. Off-site villa

    Yeah I looked at David's first figuring that was probably the best option, but I didn't know if there were any others that were reputable that others recommend. We've looked at WBC, but I've heard a lot of complaints about pushy timeshare sellers from various sites and reviewers along with...

    DVC Rental vs. Off-site villa

    My family and I (3 adults) will be traveling again to Disney in early to mid-March. My parents have laid it on me to decide where we stay and I'm having THE hardest time even though I've been to Disney maybe 10-15 times. In the last few years, we've fallen in love with Vacation rentals and so...

    Lake Buena Vista Village or other options

    Hello, So I've been having trouble finding some information on the boards here or elsewhere. Its been about 3 years since my family and I have been to Disney and in that time, we've fallen in love with condo renting. Now, for our family of 3 (my parents are in their 60's and I'm in my early...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    This is outdated Marketing strategies in a nutshell. And more and more high level marketing people that have been using such a strategy are getting canned as a result....because it DOESN'T WORK! I don't think its surprising, yet incredibly frustrating, that Disney continues to use this...

    Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

    Danny Kaye??? "We're going to have the happiest EPCOT since EPCOT was introduced by Danny ******* Kaye!" If only that were actually true.

    Rate Question

    So, I've been to Disney umpteen times. I'm trying to plan another trip (probably just single travel) and I'm searching rates. I was thinking of going somewhere between mid-August and mid-November and searched for the rates that Disney posts. Then went to some other sites, just doing some...

    Carousel of Progress refurb?

    Just have to chime in because COP is my all-time favorite ride/attraction. However, I hesitate in even talking about what's possible for changes/updates for it unless its actually feasible and going to happen. Do any of us think this is truly on the list of near future projects for the parks...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    I don't believe that actually. Though there's may be a culture problem at the organization I work at, I know that its not something that is easily fixed and I, maybe am in a rare place, where I trust the leadership is on top of making sure that culture changes. And why? This reminds me so...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    Sounds like a company culture problem. Which, in the grand scheme of things, makes everything else they're doing make sense, unfortunately. They need a big culture change, but like government...anyway...I won't go off on that tangent.

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    Having worked in sales, I was quite successful...by being sincere. Granted, I didn't sale large scale products, but at the same time, being a good sales person is an art that takes a village. You have to have a good product, a good pitch, and a marketing team with an excellent sales strategy...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    I'm not sure where the pricing department lives in the greater overall Disney organization, but I have to wonder how long some of those people in that department and their marketing have been there. I say this because in the last year, we had a big change in our Marketing Department where I...

    Prices for the Polynesian DVC Bungalows

    I would not have a problem with these prices if the rest of the rack rates for other resorts, moderates included/values, were more on par with the rest of the world. If WDW rack rate prices were truly all over the map and had DVC properties at values and moderates, then this would make more...

    The Spirited Back Nine ...

    Lost all 4 grandparents to smoking related illnesses, including an otherwise healthy Type 1 Diabetic Grandmother who died of Lung Cancer from being a lifelong smoker. I don't post often, but positive thoughts to you and yours and Happy New Year!

    The Spirited Back Nine ...

    Yeah I get that, but to be honest, I'm just so sick of entertainment entities deliberately dumbing down material because it caters to a so-called "demographic" that may or may not actually exist. It perpetuates the problem. The stuff about males is a little offensive too. There are much...

    Anyone else find these disgustingly misogynistic?

    Leadership shuffle at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels

    There are many boorish and impolite people in the lower executive ranks in a great many companies. Its just that fewer people see just how they actually behave. I despise phony kindness and generosity of spirit. I can spot it a mile away, and I think most intelligent people can so I will take...

    Leadership shuffle at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels

    Also, I really appreciate that it was designed that way. Its smart and it works for me. I just wish they could maintain that and keep up with quality more than they have. But you could really say that across the board with Disney.
