    November vs. October-Which is best?

    I agree with these two posters. We actually have always gone in October...week of Oct 11 and week of Oct 20. It's quite warm during the day and especially on Fri-Sun the crowds are crazy because of fall break trips. The week days are relatively good...short lines, few people, nothing too...

    Added on to my contract with HHI points...interesting things I learned...

    I did...that was actually my first approach. But my DVC agent said that because DVC is trying to fill all the waitlist requests, any December contract that is put under contract would be going back to Disney. There are 3 people on the waitlist right now for Dec points and he said DVC would be...

    Book now and hope for discount code later?

    Absolutely! I've even booked at one promotional discount (free dining) then called back with a new discount (40% off deluxe) and they have compared the savings for me to tell me which one is better. You can only use one, but they will compare them and tell you which one will save you more. I...

    Becanya's HHI "boy did I need another vacation" trip report...

    Oh! One other tip I forgot. At the gift shop, they have a different trivia question every day. Easy question, and they will help you get the right answer. If you get it right, you get a Disney pin. So you can get a Disney pin every single day for each of your kids if you guys both answer...

    Becanya's HHI "boy did I need another vacation" trip report...

    You know, everyone likes different things on their vacations...but I can tell you this. I wish I had packed way fewer clothes. In fact, I wish I had only packed a swimsuit/coverup, pjs, and two outfits per person. For a week-long stay. I ended up doing laundry almost every day for various...

    Added on to my contract with HHI points...interesting things I learned...

    Thanks for the info, that definitely sheds a bit more light on the difficulties that would keep DVC from encouraging people to do this. I can definitely see how it would be a major pain, ESPECIALLY if you are planning on staying at resorts that aren't your home resort. We are some of those...

    Added on to my contract with HHI points...interesting things I learned...

    So today we added on to our account with 100 points at Disney's HHI Resort! :sohappy: But I found out a couple of interesting things while I was doing it. Might be old hat to others, but it was interesting to me. We currently have a VWL contract with a December use year. So when I called...

    New Owner Questions-JUNE 26th :) Buyer Remorse?

    No buyer's remorse! You will save so much money on your disney vacations now. Actually though, Hilton Head can be a bit difficult to get into if it isn't your home resort, and BLT as well. Otherwise you should be fine. In our first year as members we have already done HHI (twice), VWL, and...

    Surprise trip to HHI

    Actually, I was curious about this too. I don't know how old your child is, but this is the easiest of all the disney resorts to take a small child. They had tons of bikes with child seats or even the little carriers for children. It was awesome.

    The moments leading to your WDW trip

    Before we leave for any vacation we ALWAYS go out to dinner the night before at Olive Garden. I know it's just a chain, but my husband and I met waiting for a table at Olive Garden in November 1998...and we go back to that same Olive Garden on nights before our special days. Had my...

    dressing up our room

    These are seriously great ideas! We always give the kids presents the morning we leave that Mickey "sends" to our house for them. That way they have something on the plane to play with. But we might just have to also decorate the room as you have suggested.

    The end if resort specific merch?

    We just got back from HHI and the lady in the store there told me they are coming out with redesigns of all the stuff for that resort. She said that's why all of it was on sale. So I think it's just time to switch out designs.

    Just the parents trip in Feb...Boardwalk or AKL?

    DH and I have decided to take a kidless trip to the world in Feb (the kids are going to KILL us!). We want to stay at a DVC resort. We have only stayed at Wilderness Lodge, but want to try somewhere new without the kids. We will either stay at Boardwalk villas or AKL villas. Which do you...

    Easter Week at Disneyland?

    Is Easter week as bad at Disneyland as it is at Disneyworld? We are hoping to take a spring break trip to CA, and I just figured out that it's also Easter week. Ugh. I know that's a really bad week to visit WDW, but I haven't seen anything about Disneyland. What do you guys think?
