    Pop vs, Swan or Dolphin..

    Swan/Dolphin, NO QUESTION. Pop used to be my "home resort" and I have many fond memories there, but I distinctly remember the trip when I thought, "this is my last stay at a value resort." The chaos of the food court in the morning and kids running around made the decision for me. I have...

    Best Resort for the Money

    I understand the appeal of the bells and whistles, but personally they have had less and less value to me each trip. We stayed at the Boardwalk in 2019 and really liked it, but missed the Swan! There are certain things about "regular" hotel stays that we prefer over Disney resort stays. For...

    Best Resort for the Money

    Swan and Dolphin! The location and amenities are comparable to the Boardwalk, Beach Club, and Yacht Club, often at half the price or less.

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    I know! I will probably not wear them except for costumes (M and I are the same size so she can wear them too so they will definitely be worn) BUT I might have to get the same ones in other colors for everyday wear!

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    We are officially past the 60 day mark! I have made a few dining reservations (maybe some multiples on different days so we can decide later which day to do which restaurant). Unfortunately I can't make reservations for the Swan part of the trip until we are 60 days out from THAT check in day...

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    Thank you! A Mickey costume is still exciting! And I might have to steal the Mickey idea since I now have yellow shoes... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I used to work in Edgewater and Tenafly so I have spent quite a bit of time in Bergen County. I hope you love the Dolphin!

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    Shoes came today and they’re a great fit and very comfortable! Plus they’re a pretty close match to my yellow pants.

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    I have been searching various stores (online and in person) for shoes to go with my costume with no luck. Today I saw that DSW sent me a $20 off coupon a few weeks ago that's expiring soon, so I checked out the sneaker selection and ended up purchasing: Let's hope the sizing is correct and I...

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    Sooo I haven't gotten the confirmation email for Boo Bash, BUT I was able to put the confirmation number in my Disney account as a ticket, and I can now see it in the tickets area. So I felt confident enough today to change our resort reservation and tickets. I switched to a room-only...

    Disney After Hours BOO BASH

    Some of you are laugh reacting to this, but I'm serious! After Hamilton won a bunch of Tonys it was nearly impossible to get tickets (unless you had literally thousands of extra dollars lying around to buy resale tickets). It was cheaper to fly to Chicago and see the Chicago company than it was...

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    Nice! I haven't received mine yet. No idea why some go through quickly and others take a whole day. 🤷‍♀️ ETA: But they sure did charge my credit card! 🤣

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    We got our Boo Bash tickets!! I’m sure you all know about Disney’s notoriously bad phone customer service. This was the worst I have ever experienced. I started trying at exactly 7:00 and got nothing but busy signals and “your call cannot be completed” type messages. I took a break from trying...

    Pre-Trip Guess who's going back?

    Thank you! It was definitely a special challenge to buy a home during a pandemic but we’re so glad it worked out!

    Disney After Hours BOO BASH

    GOT EM! I just kept trying every WDW number I know in rotation and finally spoke to a human! She said she would have to transfer me and the hold would be 216 minutes and I said that’s fine, but I think she transferred me to a special number (supervisor?) and someone picked up in less than a minute!

    Disney After Hours BOO BASH

    It was easier to get Hamilton tickets in 2016 than to get these!!
