    Renting DVC points confusion

    So I chatted with a support agent from this company. This company list prices that includes all taxes and fees. So: Disney: 3833 Company: 3588 To save $245 dollars and be held to a far more harsh cancellation policy than what Disney offers, I am confused where the appeal is to rent points.

    Renting DVC points confusion

    I did another test for 11/12-11/16 as Disney had full availability. Before taxes, Disney is 3452 with a 3833 total. This company is 3588. I. Am. Confused.

    Renting DVC points confusion

    Scenario: Was looking at renting points 11/12 - 11/18. A particular company listed this as being $5,635 for the Riveria 1BR we were wanting, or about 933/night. I check Disney and that same week, the rate is 863 per night (excluding taxes) (searched for 5 nights compared to 6 due to...

    Hollywood Studios vs Islands of Adventure

    So I have eaten at Mythos (Lamb burger with pita chips + dip appetizer) and while I wasn't a big fan of the lamb burger, the appetizer was delicious. However, IMO Liberty Tree beats it, but if you're not into that kind of 'Thanksgiving' type food then I get it. I do wonder with City Walk being...

    Timeframe for Holiday announcements?

    Is Universal generally pretty consistent with announcing their 'Holiday' schedules in August? We potentially might make a trip back to Orlando end of the year and would really like to catch that Mannheim Steamroller concert there the first weekend of December.

    I need beach therapy - but where?

    I'm not active in any other forum and everyone is so awesome here. Its February in Nebraska which means my desire for beach therapy is kicking in. We have never been to the Keys before and flying to Miami is actually pretty cheap from Omaha. How is Key Largo? I don't think we want to go all the...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    So I'm biased because Harmonious was my first ever 'night time' show at Epcot - but I've got to say it was pretty great. My wife even got a tad emotional during it. I didn't think it was horrible at all and felt it was a good offering.

    Dining Promo Card with Walt Disney World resort hotel bookings for summer 2023

    Totally agree, especially throwing in free dining as a hypothetical option. Just wanted to put the data out there that Disney did not appear to 'increase' anything to offer this promotion. "You're paying for it somewhere" does not appear to be the case here, unless of course in your scenario...

    Dining Promo Card with Walt Disney World resort hotel bookings for summer 2023

    I could be wrong, but looking at mousesavers when they released their full rack rate, a standard room at FQ was 324 for Sept 10-15th when 2023 rates were released. However, Disney currently has it at 295 per night. Package w/o discount is 2671 for 4 days of park tickets. This promo makes it 2654...

    DVC Resale Question

    Thanks @AJT607 - good to know of where things could be pointing (understood its not official until it is). We have been discussing this internally for a while and we keep going back and forth and I wish we could come to a decision LOL.

    Trip Report Disney Holidays '22!

    Yes, that might be the busiest Ive personally ever experienced the parks overall. Granted, I am not a frequent Disney traveler so unsure if any Disney pro's who were also there would say this is 'typical' or 'higher than average' for the time of year. If the crowds were about 20-25% less, I...

    Trip Report Disney Holidays '22!

    Woke up early and already packed/cleaned up and wife is getting ready. Went back and edited posts to include some pics from the days events the best that I could remember/piece together. I wish you could select to post more than 1 at a time - what a pain! Some more random thoughts: We went two...

    Trip Report Disney Holidays '22!

    Random thoughts: 1. We were very blessed with the weather. It didn't rain once for us and it wasn't too hot. The only way it would of been more perfect is if it was 75 as the high every day, but I'll take 80. 2. Restaurants that I wanted/was eager to do and learned it wasn't worth it: Space...

    Day 8: Got up around 6 am, got ready and headed to MK to rope drop SDMT. This was the only day we purchased Genie+ and never used it before - booked Space Mountain with our first LL around 10:30. Got to MK and holy crap the number of people. MK really needs to allow Frontier/Adventureland be...

    Day 7: Got up around 6 AM and left for Topo's for our 7:35 resy. Topo's was a pretty great character experience. I mainly wanted to get pics with my wife and the characters and when Donald motioned for me to take a picture with him and I said I was good, he was not having it. Stomped his foot...

    Trip Report Disney Holidays '22!

    Day 6 cont.: After my wife had a quick hour nap, we got back to Epcot around 3ish. We walked around and checked out some of the shops near the front area and my wife actually met up with a childhood friend that she hasn't seen for 10+ years (super weird timing). We sat with them for an hour...

    Trip Report Disney Holidays '22!

    Oh nice! I think what might of tripped me up is I think the studios don't have the jetted tub? Either way, that was super nice. I will keep that in mind for next time. The main reason we flew in so early (landed at 1130) was so we could go relax in our room as I assumed it would be ready as...

    It totally wasn't! We told the nice lady that offered to take the picture we'd like to get one where the fireworks were above us LOL. But the timing of this, and location of where they blew, were too funny. We kept it.
