    How far in advance (FP+)

    My suggestion would be to pick the attractions you guys want to do at the 30 or 60 mark That you expect to have long lines. You can always change on the day of or alter your plans, but at least if you lock down the popular/long line stuff now, you'll at least have the fastpasses. If you don't...

    Scooter question

    Learned on a recent trip that some scooters are too big to make it through the doors in the hotels and likewise there are some rooms that have doors that are slightly smaller due to location/age. The scooter company we rented from suggested we notify the front desk about the scooter to ensure...

    Emergency Evacuation Procedures at Disney's Polynesian Villas

    No I'm not confusing magnetic locks with anything. Magnets that could not be pushed apart by a human would cause a ridiculous amount of stress on the door and lots of energy to be used to pull them apart. Traditional magnets do not get used in that type of door for that reason. In the kitchen...

    Emergency Evacuation Procedures at Disney's Polynesian Villas

    So odd question, if there is no electricity what was holding the doors closed because electric sliding doors need electricity to be held closed or open automatically? I've never seen one ever that without power just can't be pushed open. Even a magnetic lock would require power.

    Paying OOP for first time! Are we wrong to try this????

    I used to love the DDP. I got it every time I went for years, then I had a trip that started with a real awful meal at Le Cellier that made the entire party sick then there was more food the next day and we were barely recovered from the previous day and the trip went down hill, we also decided...

    Would you purchase a "Guaranteed Week" from DVC?

    Right, it would have to be at least a month before.

    Would you purchase a "Guaranteed Week" from DVC?

    Actually you could always bank your points and the guaranteed week does not line up with use year. So if you're use year is August and you're week is in January you can cancel up to a month before the trip and then bank those points. You don't need to decide 7 or 11 months out.

    New DVC Member, a mistake?

    Yeah VGF Studios are very hard to get for various reasons. First only 100 rooms are DVC rooms there, people have guaranteed weeks all throughout the year, there are only 47 studios (10 of which are lockoffs, so only 37 are guaranteed to be studios year round), it's a very popular location. So...

    EMH at the Magic Kingdom

    Pretty much everything is open for evening EMH with the exception of some show based attractions and sometimes Jungle Cruise. As far as avoiding lines, there's not really much you can do on that during EMH as there are no fastpasses and you can't really rush to a ride at the start of it as the...

    Memory Maker

    We never purchased it until the last two trips because I thought it was a waste. We always brought our own camera, but now I'm actually in the pictures and I'm not always digging in my pockets to pull a camera out, or always holding a camera. Plus they give you additional popular photos based...

    Disey Cast Member Hotel Discounts?

    It's all on the hub as said above. It used to be anywhere from 40-60% off based on whether its for you or for friends, time of year, and resort type (Value, Deluxe, etc.).

    Polynesian DVC Check-In Area

    I have no clue, the DVC area has its own Parking Area so I can see the front building possibly having a check in area in the middle, but no clue, and I haven't heard anything, we should find out in the next month though.

    How do you plan Food and Wine?

    Seems like a lot of people have done the Tequila tasting event, I may have to try that. That Hibachi experience sounds interesting too. I'll have to give them a look when the events are released for this year.

    How do you plan Food and Wine?

    I've just started planning an early October 10 day trip for Food and Wine Staying at the Polynesian Villas and Bungalows in a Standard View Studio. This will be my fifth Food and Wine Trip. Everytime we go to the Food and Wine Festival we're always finding ways to improve our experience, so...

    Would you purchase a "Guaranteed Week" from DVC?

    We have a guaranteed week at VGF, and I'm so happy we went ahead and did it as it's very difficult to get in to VGF for a full week with the limited capacity. So far we have yet to actually use the guaranteed week, though. We bought in a trip on December 2013 and our week is in January so we...

    Does anyone even eat at...

    Yeah they got rid of the Taco Salad Nov. 30. Tortuga still has them if it happens to be open, supposedly.

    Does anyone even eat at...

    As far as liberty Inn goes they just did an update to the menu last fall that's been mentioned here and I've heard some really good review, specifically of the crab cakes and crab fries. As far as ABC goes I used to go there almost every trip because they really had a diverse menu of items like...

    Splash Mountain 2015 Winter Refurbishment and Fastpass+

    It looks like reopening may have actually been pushed back. I had a fastpass for Feb 1, and got an email saying they had to move it because of a change in operating schedule for the ride.

    How do people afford Deluxe?

    I used to stay mostly at All Star and Pop Century with a moderate thrown in every now and then, as I moved towards the end of my seasonal employment for Disney. My regular job allowed me to start using the 50% and sometimes 60% off cast discount to stay deluxe. When I realized I couldn't go...
