    Soda without HFCS at Disney

    I try to avoid high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as much as possible. In my day-to-day life, it's not hard to find sodas at the store that are made with cane sugar. From bottled root beers to the "throwback" line of Pepsi products to even the imported from Mexico Coca-Cola in the glass bottles...

    Water Parks in December

    Hello, We are already looking at a WDW trip next December (2025) to see Disney during the Christmas season, which we've never done before. We are used to being at Disney when it is roughly equivalent to walking on the sun, and have never experienced WDW in December. We love the Disney water...

    Some Post-Trip Thoughts

    We just came back from a Walt Disney World vacation, our first one in several years, and I thought I'd share some quick thoughts. Not sure if anyone will be interested, but here goes. 1. Much to my astonishment and surprise after reading threads here, WDW was not a burned out, barren wasteland...

    Old Key West vs. Saratoga Springs

    I know people have some very strong opinions, sometimes quite negative, about these two DVC resorts. However, they are consistently the lowest priced of the DVC properties. So if a family wanted to rent points for a DVC stay, but needed to stay at one of those two due to budget considerations...

    Iger Statement on Assassination Attempt

    I realize politics are prohibited here, and I'm not looking to get into anything political. But I hope we all agree that an assassination attempt is not a partisan political issue and are disgusted by what happened. In any event, being a Disney fan forum, I thought it appropriate to post Iger's...

    Steak at Walt Disney World

    Simple one: What do you think is the best place to get a steak on property at Walt Disney World? And would you modify your answer if it needed to also be a place that was good for little kids?

    Low FODMAP at Disney

    Greetings! Our next trip to Walt Disney World is booked for September. The dining has always been one of my favorite parts of the trip. Other than a nut allergy, which was easy to manage, neither I nor my family have ever had any dietary restrictions in the past. Unfortunately, that has...

    Extended Evening Hours and DVC Points

    Hello, My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere, but my initial attempt at searching the forums for it did not find it. I know that the extended evening hours perk is for deluxe resorts only. That includes the "deluxe villas" category, which is the DVC resorts. So is the extended...

    Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek - Thoughts?

    Hey folks, We are a large family (8 people) and although we love staying on property and have always done so in the past, it is just getting to the point where it is too cost prohibitive for us. It's either book a couple of standard rooms and be completely cramped or book a 2- or 3-bedroom DVC...

    Pools/Water Parks in November

    Hello, I know that nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the weather. But, on average, would you expect a Disney stay in mid-November to have warm enough temperatures to be taking advantage of the pools and water parks? Thanks.

    Promotions for... Christmas?

    So first, Disney releases a free dining offer that runs up until two days before Christmas. Which means that you could be there for Christmas/New Year's and get free dining for all of it. Then today, I see that Disney has released a promotional package specifically targeted at getting people to...

    Fall and Holiday Offer -- $0 Discount?

    So this actually came up when I was looking at some dates in late October for All-Star Movies: The dates I was searching for were not included in the Fall and Holiday room offer, as they are in October, so I get why there's no discount. What I don't get is why the site shows a promotional...

    Insanity Pricing Officially Reached

    For March 16 - 22, 2020, a standard room at Pop Century is going for $213.33 per night. I really don't know what to say other than that we have officially reached "insanity level" on resort pricing. I know these are rack rates and that Disney could offer discounts down the line, but still... a...

    Mini-Golf Thread Removed?

    I started a thread about the reserved tee times at the mini-golf courses. There were a number of replies and discussion about it. Now it seems to have been completely deleted. Why? I understand that there was another thread on the subject already in progress that I missed, but why not simply...

    Getting Out of the Disney Store Business?

    It was announced that our local Disney Store is closing later this summer. There seems to be a lack of any statement at all from Disney corporate, but our local newspaper did a story on the closing and spoke with the management of that particular store as well as the management of the mall it...

    Earliest Time of Year for Water Parks

    Folks, What would you say is the earliest time in the year when you could guarantee that the weather at Walt Disney World would be adequately warm for water parks and pools? I know that any time of year often has days where it is warm enough, and that at least one water park is open year...

    Using Package Tickets Early

    Hello, Prior to the change to date-based pricing, if you had tickets that were tied to a Magic Your Way package (room/tickets/dining), you could go to Guest Relations and begin using the tickets up to 3 days before your resort check-in date. So, for example, if your check-in date was July 10th...
