I agree with lbrad, it's a lot of food. We do lots of table service meals for a reason. - First, I have a phobia of fighting for a table and food. Whenever we do quickservice it stresses me out beyond belief. It's a little OCD of me, I know, but if I didn't have a reservation so that I...

Ah Holly...your last post made me cry. Not a huge surprise. But I remember your post from your lonely hotel room, and I remember being able to feel your emotions because I remember feeling them myself 10 yrs ago. Thanks for sharing. It has been a great journey.

We have done both and Kona is way better for dinner. In fact, we always eat there twice every trip. Love it oh so much! Let me know if you want to know our favorite dishes. :wave:

Thanks! It's kinda hard to tell from the map. But I know from staying at HHI resort, that the walk from our villa to the main building was a serious hike.

We do 2-3 table service meals every day. On our next trip we are going for 10 days and have 21 sit down meals. What can I say...I love me some Disney Restaurants.

If you are a DVC member, you get 100 off each pass. We go for 10 day trips. This year we are going in November (10 dys), Jan (7 days), and September (10 dys). It is way cheaper to get the annual passes than to buy parkhoppers for all those days.

Well, you know since the downpayment is the same regardless of your price, I always book as soon as I figure out my dates so I can get the ROOM I want, then keep my eyes open for discounts so I can get the PRICE I want. When a deal comes up that applies, I just call and apply it to my...

WAIT! I thought from the other January thread that you already had reserved the week! Are you guys trying to do DVC ressies too? I would get on the phone right now and make those reservations! Loved your other thread, by the way...helped me worry less about our trip. :wave:

Yes, the DVC rep said it was definitely the marathon. The only DVC resort with availability for Jan 5-8 is SSR right now. I don't want to switch resorts either, but I guess if we have to it's better than staying at home!!! I just don't want to pack up everything and move, you know? The...

Change of plans... Ok, so you guys are going to think I am terribly fickle. Remember how we decided to take this kidless trip in Jan-Feb? Well, we decided to just move the trip to the week after New Years and take the kids along! Instead, Adam and I are going to go to California together in...

Through some finagling and negotiating, we decided that instead of doing our adult-only trip at the end of January, we are going to take the kids on a surprise trip the week after New Years!!! :sohappy: Imagine, that week after Christmas and New Years is so sad, and you wake up to your parents...

We're eating dinner at WCC on the 4th...We'll be the ones who look blissfully happy. :sohappy:

This is a very helpful thread, thanks so much to everyone for sharing your experience. We are also doing a trip Jan 2-8, just booked it this morning. I was a little worried about crowds, but it looks like it won't be bad at all! At least not any worse than the crowds in Oct when we have gone...

If we want to be close to the feature pool and the most convenient transportation location, which building should we request for a deluxe studio? So we don't have to walk a mile to get to the bus stop for resorts and such? Better yet, does anyone have a favorite studio room they always request?

How is the week after New Years? We were thinking of arriving on New Year's Day and staying the whole week.

Has anyone gone over President's Day Weekend? Touring Plans has the whole weekend as a 8 or 9 for crowd levels. Is this an awful weekend to go? Anyone have experience with that weekend? We are contemplating a short trip in Feb. with the kids.

Love Tony's! You HAVE to try the zucchini fries appetizer. My hubby got the steak and it was just OK, but my pork tenderloin was really good. Don't know about wishes...sorry!

Has anyone ever gotten a bounceback staying with DVC? Like a bounceback for a cash reservation, while you are staying with points? Also...where do you look for these bounceback offers? Are their notes left in your room? In our two years going we have never gotten one that I have noticed...

ADR's for January "kidless" trip So I just made reservations for our trip without the kids in January-February. We always do the deluxe dining plan when we go with the kids, because we need to be able to break up our day. But with the quick just mom and dad trip, we decided to just do the...

Yeah, unfortunately they still use the yucky bedspreads. But honestly, even duvets in hotels gross me out. I just take any bed covering off the bed and stuff it in the closet as soon as I arrive. :eek:
