    How do people afford Deluxe?

    We stayed at the Boardwalk this June for a week, I can see wha you are saying with it being just like it with it's location. It seems a bit farther from Epcot but closer to DHS, but that may not be true. Either way neither park is far from any of those resorts in that area.

    How do people afford Deluxe?

    Those resorts look very nice, if I were forced to stay off property those would be my first choice for sure. But that dang fish is still just ugly :)

    How do people afford Deluxe?

    I would choose a WDW value over anything off property myself, being "in the bubble" is so much more important to us that the rating of the resort we stay at. The theming at the Values is awesome IMO, very cool :)

    How do people afford Deluxe?

    It seems like anytime we have wanted to go to WDW there has been a room discount. Kind alike those jewelry store at the mall always having a sale :) Now with something like free dinning where you do not get the room discount you offset that cost with "free" grub. So it kinda breaks even in the...

    How do people afford Deluxe?

    We are a stay on property or bust type of family. I rather stay at any resort on property than any other off property. It's the bubble for us :) The Deluxe resorts are all about location when talking about on property resorts. Room to World Showcase in 5 minutes is awesome for example. Worth...

    Southwest vacations- has anyone ever booked a room and flight through them?

    We did years ago (2009?) but stayed off property. Flight, room, car, tickets the whole 9 yards thru SW Airlines, no problems at all. But I am not sure how the price compared to doing that all separately.

    People cheating the GAC program for profit should rot under the galleon in POTC for all time.

    FastPass+ Too Much Planning?

    Big fans here of both FP+ and MBs, the good far outweighs the bad in our experience.

    FastPass+, MyMagic+, My Disney Experience, dining plans and reservations: Out of hand?

    Having just made my FP+ this week for our Jan trip I find it reassuring that I know we will get to do so many things we want to do while we are there in 57 days without having to worry about lines. Seeing Anna & Elsa again, 7DMT twice, Space Mt, TSM, Expedition Everest, the new Frozen sing along...

    Do you think an Adult only resort will ever happen?

    I would not care to go the a WDW resort without kids around myself. Most of the kids we see there are normal well behaved kids.

    DVC Maintenance Fees for 2015

    Freaking government, tax the living crud out of my bonus at work (35%), the bonus I use to pay for Disney each year. And then then take more taxes while I'm at Disney. Me and Uncle Sam need to talk bout this!

    DVC Maintenance Fees for 2015

    Take about getting nickled and dimed to death. But who am I kidding they would have to really go nuts (like $20 per point) for us to sell. Mickey has me by the short hairs on this one. Now the question is if DVC MFs are going up how are the non DVC resorts dealing with the increased cost...

    DVC Maintenance Fees for 2015

    AK is getting the worst of it IMO, high cost and high increase. Of course the resort cost more to maintain so it does make sense. Our are up around $42 this year. Mickey better make it worth it!

    How do people afford Deluxe?

    This thread could be a good ad for DVC :) I am happy at mods or deluxe but the deluxe resorts have some prime locations that area huge draw. Staying at the BW and being 5 mins from WS is a heck of a nice thing :) We could never stay off property and be as happy as being on property so that is...

    This year's Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade will be based around 'Frozen'

    Frozen is a hit on a unprecedented level, regardless of why or even if it merits it's status as such. Disney is reacting to that, any smart company would. This is not the 90s, Disney is reacting as they should in todays world. The demand is clearly there, Frozen is a great fit for a winter...

    This year's Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade will be based around 'Frozen'

    All true, Frozen is a beast of a property, much more so than anything before it. Disney is reacting to that as any smart business would. Tangled (which I think is a better movie) had all of the above as well but did not hit the sweet spot worldwide as Frozen has.

    This year's Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade will be based around 'Frozen'

    I like Lion King Better than Frozen but it was not nearly in demand as much as Frozen currently is. Frozen is well beyond anything before it in animation when it comes to it's popularity.
