    News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

    It’s a money grab, but that’s what public companies do when they can. The shareholders kind of demand it. Oh I so wish that Walt Disney World was a private company where all the business practices of a public company are gone. As long as guests are still willing to spend, the company will find...

    News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

    Are people mad about the parking fee or the fact free parking is going away? It’s a revenue stream that a public company has to look at. Every downtown hotel I have stayed in has parking fees and every sports venues have parking fees - paid $50 just for basic parking at an NFL stadium. I hope...

    Adult dance party

    Does anyone know if there is any truth to what a bartender told me several years ago. She said that WDW historically limited hotel bars from staying open late due to complaints from wives saying Disney let my husband get drunk and now he’s too hung over to go to the parks with the kids. And, no...

    3 bedroom at GFV

    They can hold 12 people, but I wouldn’t put 12 adults in one. Two of the bedrooms will have two queen beds in them so there will be lack of privacy. If you search on-line you’ll see pictures of the layout.

    Advice

    To answer how many points to buy, it depends on how many people in your party and how often you go - every year, every other year or every three years. With DVC, you can bank and borrow points so you can use your points every year or save one year (bank) and/or borrow from next years. Here’s...

    New direct from Disney DVC prices to exceed $200 per point

    This situation is one of the reasons I would fear listing my points on rental sites and having someone I don’t know rent my points. I’m sure buried deep in the DCV contract the owner is on the hook for this and any other damages.

    Are 5 days enough for most of your vacations? If you take other vacations wanting more time, then you’ll definitely want more time in WDW.

    Trip Report The Nothing Went As Planned NOT Live Trip Report!

    Quick trips are better than no trip, have fun. Make sure you read what’s included in the round trip price. Frontier up charges everything. Last time I flew with them I had to pay extra for a seat, not a particular seat, just a seat on the plane.

    News All Walt Disney World Resort hotel swimming pools closed Jan 3 2018 due to weather

    Have all the pools closed like this before? You see the water park not under refurbishment close a few times during winter, but all the pools?

    "Do not disturb" signs being removed from resort rooms

    You can still use this while in the room. They’re not interested in getting into the room while you’re there, they want access while you’re gone. Giving today’s environment, I’m OK with this, 5 years ago, probably not.

    Travelling with a non Disney fan

    Keep alcohol in him the entire trip. If he’s a great dad, he’ll have fun once he sees all the joy and excitement in his kids - how could you not?

    Very Late EMH with kids?

    Just don’t have an 8:00 am character breakfast scheduled for the next day - that would be a disaster.

    Invoice from Coronado Springs posted to my house?

    If they start charging me for things like wake up calls, then I’m going to start charging them every time I have to go to the front desk and resolve Magic Band issues, etc. I wonder if Disney is doing that at Yacht Club because it’s a big convention resort and they figure conventioneers won’t...
