    News Theme parks way up

    We bought at Saratoga in 2010 for around $79/point. Those were crazy days. Our first DVC trip we ended up getting 4 out of our 8 days at AKL Concierge level. We haven't had a problem getting other resorts at the 7 month mark now, but I guess it depends where you want to stay (I seem to always...

    News Annual Passholder dining discount drops to 10% for 2018

    We realized something on our last trip...Given the ever-increasing cost of eating on property, we would actually save money by renting a car and eating offsite, as opposed to eating on site (and that was with the 20% discount). We had already reduced the number of table service meals we were...

    Trip Report A Total Eclipse of the Park *COMPLETED*

    Completely agree. The eclipse was like a non-event. We went back to our room to watch it too("watch it"...), and we're greatly disappointed. I actually napped through it ("napped"), but Tammy and Steph stayed up and said they couldn't tell when it supposedly started or finished.

    Trip Report So we went to Disney again... - an August/17 trip report

    You should have loads of room. The villas are very spacious. You may be a bit tight on storage space but we didn't find it that bad (we had 4 suitcases, and about 8 other carryon size bags (purse, laptop bag, etc)). Having two showers is a huge plus too. Hope you enjoy your trip.

    Last day continued We enjoyed our last monorail ride to the MK, and were soon through the “turnstiles” we took one last picture at the front of the park before heading in. It was kind of a damp-ish night tonight, so the pictures were all a bit misty. The kids took off to do their own...
