    Fall 2013 Free Dining and Room Discount Details!!!

    This might be shaping up to be the worst release I've experienced. I lucked into a 25 minute wait this morning, which turned into a 75 minute phone call to find out that 90% of my reservations didn't qualify due no availability or discounts that actually cost more. Now I have to call back in...

    Disney is going to scale back the Polynesian DVC plans in a big way.

    I love the smell of swamp water in the morning! Maybe they'll make an air freshener as a parting gift to remind you of your Poly bungalow stay.

    Disney is going to scale back the Polynesian DVC plans in a big way.

    Each time I hear the water feature may be getting axed, it hurts even more than the last time. We may have to make "sitting in the Poly's lobby" an official activity on our next trip, just in case.

    How long to mini golf?

    I used to mini golf frequently, but haven't in several years. We have blocks of non-park time in our upcoming trip, so I thought mini golf would be fun. How long do you think it would take 2 adults (moderate mini golfing skills) to complete one course? Do the courses actually get busy enough...

    Behind the Grand Design Email...

    It's a webcast, not an on site visit, which isn't clear in this post, but is in the email.

    myMagic+ Upcoming Test(s)

    In line with this, some people are already experiencing the inflexibility of this system. I know someone who accidentally listed an adult as an infant when they linked their reservation. The system is so inflexible that it cannot be changed. That just boggles my mind. On the invitations...

    myMagic+ Upcoming Test(s)

    They send physical tickets one month in advance UPS signature required for all packages booked through WDTC. That's for their hotels and for Good Neighbor hotels (like WDW, a DLR package is minimum room+ticket). I've operated under the assumption that the (vast number of) Good Neighbor Hotels...

    myMagic+ Upcoming Test(s)

    I understand why, and that DLR has circumstances unique from WDW that prevent them from handing tickets out upon hotel check-in, but that doesn't mean I can't grumble about it ;) I could see WDW thinking Magic Bands are as sensitive as ticket media, and wanting the signature. Just personally...

    myMagic+ Upcoming Test(s)

    Are they seriously sending these out UPS signature required? Or do you just live somewhere they can't/won't drop off? If it's signature required, what a pain. I hate that about DLR packages.

    How many DVC points do you have?

    Since this thread is still alive, I'll post too :) 200 at SSR

    Does anyone know if this park preselection is just a recommendation, or can you change the park? Interesting, because I was told 4 per day.

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts Tres

    I don't want to encourage this MLP discussion, but this comment (and others) are egregiously inappropriate. It's one thing to not like someone's hobby, it's another to say people with apparent disabilities shouldn't be allowed out in public.

    Best spot for Fantasmic! and Firework Viewing.

    As mentioned already, 2nd show is a bit easier to do since no one can get spots until the first one is over. What worked wonderfully for us was to bolt out of the hub immediately after fireworks, and head to ROA with hoards of others. We kept walking until we found a good spot, which happened...

    General photo tips for shooting at the parks!

    Yep, I didn't religiously use it until after I had a mishap and damaged my lens. Now the only time its off is if it's in a bag. You don't want to be stuck with a lens repair or replacement bill and think "If only I had taken two extra seconds to put on the hood?" For what I gather...

    General photo tips for shooting at the parks!

    The only tip I would give is if you have a lens hood, don't walk around with it backwards on your lens. Either use it or leave it at home. I've rarely seen this in WDW, but it was rampant on my trip to DL. These are both great. I'm still learning things about my camera that I feel dumb for...

    Pros & Cons of resale

    Yes, Disney Collection are Disney Destinations that you otherwise pay cash for - regular rooms at WDW, DL, DCL, ABD, even international parks. I'm sure others can give better answers about renting. Normal range is $10-$13 a point. They are private agreements between yourself and the renter...

    How booked is VGF Now?

    That's my rational for trying to book it for a March trip. I recall BLT being easier to book at 7 months when it first started selling. Contrast 2009-2010 with our 2013 BLT trip, the stars aligned in that the only unit available at 7 months was the type and view we wanted. So hopefully I...

    MK Mine Ride Construction Update

    Wizarding World of HP officially opened June 18th, one of the last day of spring 2010. Fulfills the promise of "spring" even though few people think of spring as extending in June. They soft opened most of Storybook Circus in March 2012 to coincide with spring break crowds, but there wasn't...
