    Wilderness Lodge Feature Pool Closure

    As a DVC member staying on points, I'm kinda bummed that I don't have the opportunity to get moved :( Does anyone know the exact refurbishments going on? (besides adding the security gates around the pool perimeter) Will the geyser be obstructed? and the boat path?

    Character Meals: which one for breakfast?

    UPDATE: Never mind…I just scrolled down the forums and found a similar question asked not too long ago! If I knew how to delete this thread, I most certainly would!

    Character Meals: which one for breakfast?

    My sister, her DH, and DS (2), will be going to DLR for the first time and want to do a character meal, specifically breakfast…which one of these would any of you recommend and why: Plaza Inn, PCH Grill, Goofy's Kitchen, or Storyteller's? Thank you!

    Others using your magic band-I am not in Park

    The owner of the band must first enter the park in order for the MB to be recognized, thus activating the FP's.

    Be our guest

    Disney has caught onto the above link…if you call to ask about it, a CM will tell you that FP+ for BOG is by e-mail invitation only. Also, that window only opens up about a week or 2 prior to arrival. If you were to try and book a FP+ now for it, you'd get an "unavailable" message. However...

    Pirates Leauge

    My oldest DD (8) and her cousin (9), participated in this swashbucklin' makeover during our most recent trip (February), and they loved it! For the cost, it was a pretty good deal (we opted for the least expensive packages - about $34 with tax): -pirate face paint/make-up (each application has...

    DDP credit conversion question

    You most certainly can, BUT, it depends on the resort AND if you are a guest staying at said resort. On our most recent trip (Feb.), we stayed at VGF, and on check-out day, we still had a few QS meals that we couldn't possibly consume….so, we asked the attending CM at Gasperilla's if "they"...

    iPhone 5s battery pack or case?

    I, too, have an iPhone 5 S, and the battery life leaves little to be desired. With the addition of MDE to park touring, randomly taking photos (to update my sister on the sights and sounds of WDW), and letting my DD's use it in queues to keep 'em busy, my battery would be drained by early...

    GF Villas

    My family and I stayed in a dedicated 2-bedroom, standard-view villa in February, and we LOVED it! We've always wanted to stay at the GF, specifically because of the "Full House" episodes of, "When the House Meets Mouse"…we're nostalgic like that…and when this resort opened up for our specific...

    Wilderness Lodge Feature Pool Closure

    Just read a post on DVC Central's FB page: the Wilderness Lodge feature pool will be closed for refurbishment September 3rd - November 27th. Guests will be allowed to use the pools at Ft. Wilderness & Contemporary. Can anyone else confirm this news? I guess my family and I will be "one of...

    The Middle Season Finale - My Nightmares?

    My husband and I watched the 2-part finale as well…and we were both left more aggravated than entertained. As Disney-traveling-afficianados on this site, we could pick apart the, "that's not how that works" (i.e. walking in thru the 'Exit/No bags' line, while 3 out of 5 of them have bags), the...

    Star Wars Weekends 2014

    I just took my youngest sister down for SWW, and with some proper planning, we were able to see and do a lot! I think I will write up a mini-TR tomorrow about our experience, and post it by Thursday, 5/22. My sister and I had the same mind-set that your son does: watch the parade (at which...

    BLT fireworks

    I'm not sure when "the rule" changed, but a DVC member (including non-DVC members in their travel party staying at a DVC property), CAN now watch the fireworks from the top of BLT. I am not exactly sure what time the designated elevator opens up, so I'd inquire at your resort concierge. Be...

    Villas at GF

    "Yes," you can check-in at VGF. However, the desks inside VGF are manned for limited hours during the day. If no CM's are around, you will have to go over to the main resort and check in there. We ran into this problem on the day of our arrival…granted, we didn't arrive until after 11 p.m….we...

    "5th" or "9th" guest guidelines?

    **UPDATE*** I just got off the phone with DVC reservations, and the very friendly CM informed me that the "extra guest" would be accommodated via a 'twin-sized air mattress, running $15/night.' No towels or bedding would be provided though. She suggested that I either bring my own air...

    "5th" or "9th" guest guidelines?

    Thanks for your insight! Short of talking to an "informative" CM, I thought this forum would be more useful!

    "5th" or "9th" guest guidelines?

    Recently (well, at least this is the first I'm noticing), I've noticed that DVC has been publishing on their reservation site that resorts such as VWL, BCV, & BWV can accommodate a "5th guest" in a 1-bedroom & a "9th guest" in the 2-bedroom. However, the extra guest will not have towels or...
