    Prices for the Polynesian DVC Bungalows

    Can you shed some insight on where these 'cheaper' bungalows are? I've been looking around for 2-bedroom, over-the-water bungalow, with plunge pool... a week in Sept... and can't come close to Disney's rate? The Bora Bora FS wants TWICE as much as Disney... no kitchen or washer and dryer...

    For those seeking Point Charts and Floor Plans: http://dvcnews.com/index.php/resorts/polynesian/2818-polynesian-points-charts-floorpan-and-price Let's not overlook that $6 Annual Due that comes with each $160 point either.

    Liberty Tree Tavern closing in July for near 5 month refurbishment.

    I'd love an explanation on how BOG is a failure... A QS location by day... trying to operate under maximum capacity with FP+ times and 'return times'... and a TS location by night that books 180+ in advance?! Failure?! Please enlighten.

    First Family WDW SECRET trip

    It was the first time I had done something like that... stopping for just a meal... but it was a fantastic overall experience! We choose Sanaa for the location (just on the edge of property, easy on/off) and the resort itself. Another perk for you would be it's close to AoA. After hours in...

    Disney's new Flipside promo/sweepstakes for January

    It's simply a promotion... that plays off their exisiting marketing of Show Your Disney Side. This contest is nearly identical to last year's 'Disney Resolutions' which also ran the entire month of January, awarding one vacation a day, 31 total. Last year it did not include a night in the...

    First Family WDW SECRET trip

    Just to add... Further thinking... placed me at Kona (Poly) or Grand Floridian Cafe. A nice meal... and then perhaps to the beaches for pictures, to see the castle. After seeing my kids/significant others reaction to the view and atmosphere... it would be a great opportunity to tell them we...

    First Family WDW SECRET trip

    What about reserving a resort ADR... and telling them your stopping at Disney on the way to Clearwater, for lunch/dinner? We stopped at Sanaa (AKL) on our drive up from Naples... absolutely loved it... dined while watching giraffes, zebras, etc roam and snack throughout the savanah. There...

    Disney's new Flipside promo/sweepstakes for January

    Disney offered a similar sweepstakes last year... I can't remember if it included a night in the castle or not though. I can't see why the idea would offer any 'insight' on 2015 marketing?

    Help Planning for Small Children on a Budget

    There's no 'perfect' Value resort... and the more time you spend researching... the easier it becomes to talk youself into it... and right back out of it! We greatly disliked our Pop Century stay... fell in love with All Star Music 8 months later... to each their own! We avoid All Star...

    Help Planning for Small Children on a Budget

    We greatly enjoyed our January trip... 'value' pricing and low crowds, but the weather left a lot to be desired! Having been in January, mid- March, and early May... we absolutely prefer May! First week in May to be specific! Weather was gorgeous and crowds were quite manageable since many...

    Disney Visa & Early Promotions

    I've never received emails/notifications in regards to vacation promotions since becoming a card member in 2006. I tend to lurk http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=93 for rumors of upcoming promotions... Especially if I'm interested in Free Dinning. In most cases, I find 'out' through...

    Driving Cleveland to Orlando with 6 in tow..

    We'd most likely go: 77 South to Columbia, SC 26 East to 95 South 95 South to Orlando, FL We drove to Cleveland last month (from Raleigh, NC) and had no issues with 77... even with the colder weather and mountains of WV. Outside of some construction work (no delays) in Jacksonville, FL... our...

    September 2015 free dining

    If you're not traveling from the UK... and IF Free Dinning is offered... Packages should be released in early May 2015. AoA was included last year (with QSDP) but only for the Family Suites, not Little Mermaid Standard rooms.

    2015 Free Dining

    I was under the impression the UK deals came out REAL early... as Capt'n mentioned. Browsing some tripadvisor posts... looks like 2015 UK Free Dinning was released in late April of this year.

    so... crazy way to save cashola for DW (10% or more off)

    Can you... purchase target gift cards... in store... with your RedCard... and save 5%? Like you can buying Disney Gift Cards? Can I then use that target gift card... to buy a Disney Gift Card (with RedCard on file) and save a total of 10%?

    The Spirited Back Nine ...

    Can't you buy 'Park Exclusive' merchandise online? Why is seeing it in an actual Disney Store that far fetched? My mom hasn't been down since 2007... but she'd love that shirt as a holiday gift. I can't be the only one this holiday season, shopping at malls and stores, with a Disney Parks fan...

    Traveling for two: Do's & Don'ts

    Yes! There is... http://www.disney.honeymoonwishes.com I'm not too familiar with the concept... or how it 'pays out'... but it's definitely a great option!

    Traveling for two: Do's & Don'ts

    I want to say... that last year... POR and POFQ were in fact omitted from Free Dinning. CBR and CSR were the only moderates included I believe. With the recent room renovation, a king bed at CBR would be pretty tempting to us on a romantic getaway. The quiet beaches, abundant quiet pools, and...

    Water Parks vs. More Main Parks time

    My last trip was with a first timer... so I wanted to see/do everything since it was all new to him. We took advantage of rope drop and Evening EMH, saw every parade and nightly show... still managed to get to both TL and BB... hopping over to a themepark for that evening. It was absolutely...

    Beach Club Resort - 20 Month Refurb

    Considering that rooms at the Polynesian and Garden Wing rooms at the Contemporary also lack balconies... I don't really see why this would be considered 'unacceptable.' I'd say the exterior design of the BC is one the most aesthetically pleasing 'fronts' on property. The Boardwalk side of the...
