    Counterfeit River Country DCL Pin?

    Hi, It's "EH0139 River Country Est. 1976" with an "A" value rating (<$15). That's from the Tomart's 6th Edition Disneyana Guide to Pin Trading, p.149. It doesn't provide a date but a few of pins in the vicinity of it have year 2000 dates on them, so I'd guess 1999 or 2000. That's an old...

    DVC point reallocation in 2022

    Long time BCV member, and I've been watching for years as they mess with us... Just so FRUSTRATING! Overselling some areas making it impossible to be spontaneous any more, taking away perks from non-direct buyers (theoretically devaluing resale), literally packing the parks so there is no off...

    News Security scanners begin operation today at Disney Springs

    Sincere questions but nuanced so no hassle if no one knows for sure. Just curious, opinions would be appreciate, and just hypothetical as I don’t bring weapons to Disney - I think the airline, TSA, and Florida might object 😉 1.) Legally can they detain a person (security) while the cops are...

    Don't wanna be angry, but I am...[Rant]

    Incredibly good and poignant threads you've posted. I'm 100% in the same boat, as I see they've really lost they're way. Any firm can make money, and when they focus on that and only that lose the ability to make magic, as that is a different type of investment (long-term and a more intrinsic...

    Disney CMs calling guests " Friends"?

    It does sound like a cult thing... "Hello Friend, Would you like a pamphlet on the Church of Lunar Consciousness?"

    Disney CMs calling guests " Friends"?

    Just a point - It drives me insane when I here non-US folks us the term "Partner", or when people put their pronouns (he/him) . I 100% don't care about the make-up of the person or the relationship, but just say husband, or wife, or boyfriend, etc... (And yes, it would put me more at ease for a...

    When are all these cutbacks not about COVID anymore?

    I can’t disagree at all. It’s gotten to the point for me though where I’m afraid to go as I don’t want the current experience to taint my previous memories. Not sure how many other folks are getting to that point.

    Is Disney Losing DVC Members/Contracts due to Covid??

    I'd buy up those $1 offers in a heartbeat for the speculative nature alone (resale in a year or two with only a small, flat investment and a trifle of dues... Hell, the tax deduction on the property taxes alone might have value... Not giving tax advice, consult your own, blah,blah, blah...)

    Cash-Strapped Disney

    - Any thoughts about a savior white knight swooping in with a huge hands-off cash infusion? - And if they are forced to close WDW again, maybe the Feds via economic aid to Florida would do something through the guise bailing out such a huge employer?

    Mini Disney World - Fan-Made Model

    The joy you created on the board and from all the posters gave me goosebumps. Thank you for making my day.

    Will there be a Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this year?

    I was hopeful and optimistic, and had bought the party tickets early. Now we're canceling due to the "resort reservation doesn't guarantee park admission". I'm just really looking to cancel the party tickets to get that cash back, but suspect I'll be out of luck. Hopefully, they will have the...

    Should certain groups be given priority to attend the parks?

    Really good point that leads to another: For those that are “chosen”*, Disney’s internal transport network is necessary and going to be the riskiest part. Monarail, bus, or boat - choose your poison * Have to say it: “The Claw...”

    Should certain groups be given priority to attend the parks?

    Money. Always has been and always will be. Deluxe on property, followed by DVC, followed by Full AP, lesser AP, etc... The odd part is there is a population of folks out there with tons of cash stuck in isolation, and a different bunch who used to have cash but now find one person out of a...

    What barriers will your family have to be able to return to WDW? Our list is longer than we realized

    Sadly, I need to get it and recover from it first... I absolutely don't want to get it/suffer from it onsite. I had Norovirus in Disney once, and that was a thoroughly wasted and expensive week. Really, any precautions in place by our government(s) are just another form of TSA theater...

    Beastly Kingdom vs Pandora

    Beastly would have been a much smarter business choice! Avatar is "flash-in-the-pan" and outdated already. The sequel's coming, but if it bombs that dents Avatar-Land even more. A HUGE spend on IP that had no real life (Took too long get the land to market, AND already far gone from pop...

    Who should be excluded to help with the overcrowding problem.

    So So True... The last trips over the past few trips I keep saying I'm never coming back, selling the DVC, it's lousy compared to 20 years ago... (Just being more and more of a grumpy getting-older man). And then I go home and book another trip and find myself chomping at the bit to go back...

    Who should be excluded to help with the overcrowding problem.

    Disney already has this SOMEWHAT on the board: Keep adding more and more on-site rooms, more DVC, etc... and then ONLY allow people staying in their rooms to use the parks. Allows them basically 100% control on who comes based on room pricing, incentives and specials, etc... At Christmas only...
