I am planning a trip for extended family to AKV - we own DVC but have never stayed at either Jambo or Kidani. I am torn -- Jambo for the more exciting feel, larger grand lobby, more dining options, but slightly smaller room with one less bathroom and a pull out queen. From all that i have...

I wasn't sure which forum to post this under. I was looking into the disney vacation savings account. I have heard of deals that can be had with purchasing discount Target gift cards and then turning around and buying disney gift cards for a little bit of savings. Then loading them into the...

We are in the process of purchasing a resale contract. One of the stipulations, because it is stripped contract is that the seller is going to give a credit at closing for the 2016 MF. We are probably going to close sometime in November. Will the numbers be released by then? I don't want to...

im just wondering if anyone has had trouble renting their points through resale. I am guessing there is no guarantee that your points can and will be rented

i am guessing that you are able to book rooms at any time (11 months out at home resort) as long as you have the points, but I'd figured I would ask the question about this scenario. We are looking into purchasing a DVC resale in the amount of 120 points - with banking and borrowing we would...

I am looking at purchasing a contract with a February use year. It is stripped contact which is fine. The next points available will be in February 2017. Now if I bank those points when do I have to use them by? We are planning on a trip for May or June of 2018, so would I be able to use...

I am heavily researching before purchasing a DVC. I am curious as to what issues people have encountered when trying to book a resort (other then their home resort) at the 7 month window. We are pretty flexible and would probably want to try to stay at different resorts each visit. I am...

I am fortunate enough to be receiving a lump sum of money this october. I am thinking that this would be the time to purchase outright a DVC that we can enjoy for the years to come. I am thinking that we could afford around 100-125 points (if the cost per point is around $85-95). For those...

I was on the fence about whether or not the memory maker was worth the advance purchase price of $169. We just came back from our trip on Tuesday. we were there 6 days and in all we took 168 pictures -- we certainly did not grab every photographer that we saw but would stop a few times per day...

We are leaving on wednesday for our trip YEA!!! -- I have been looking at some different packing lists and was wondering if bug spray is needed in december. It looks like daytime temps are in the 80's and evenings in the 60's. With the liquid travel restrictions -- if we need to pack these...

I am sure this has been asked many a time, but i just wanted to clarify this before our trip next week. We have the dining plan -- 1TS, 1 QS and snack. I understand at a TS restaurant- the kids have to order under the kids menu. At a counter service meal -- we can order an adult meal for the...

I am not sure if i have to do anything, but we had originally intended on bringing our 18 month old with us next week for your NYE trip to the world. She is now staying home with the grandparents. She is on our room reservation -- It was going to be 2 adults, 2 kids both 9 and the baby -- she...

I am used to usually paying 51 cents for a pressed penny but i was wondering if at Disney World -- what do they cost? and any suggestions of locations where you find them. Does each park have different ones or are they pretty generic just Disney ones- the same ones at every park? I am hoping...

I recently opened a disney visa card to help with saving for our future trips to disney -- we are going next week!!!! I have been looking at the discounts and such. I am hoping to take advantage of the free character meet and greet. Even though my boys are 9 i figure it might still be cute...

I was just reading someones thread about some restaurants are not available on the 2015 dining plan and it made me wonder about my dining plan and reservations. We are arriving 12/31/2014 and it is noted on the reservations that we have the 2014 dining plan. so technically we are there only...

I have two FP reservations under 2 different accounts (due to split stay). I wanted to go on to confirm the times that i selected and the webpage is not allowing me to see anything on either account. IT just notes going to guest services to get help with logging in and or selecting a time and...

SO we have a split stay of 3 days at CBR and then 3 days under DVC rental at SSR. I purchased our 6 days of park tickets under the disney reservation for CBR. I have booked all of our FP selections and was just wondering if all the FP selections would be linked to each set of bands or only to...

For those of you who have boys around the age of 9 -- what rides or attractions at each park are a must do. I want to make sure i prioritize our fastpass slections for rides that i know my boys would be excited to do. Especially at magic kingdom because there are so many more rides there. We...

Once i have used up my orginal 3 FP at a particular park. What is the best way to make other FP selections at a different park. Am i able to do it from my app? Do the kiosks in the parks allow you to select at a different park? We are getting the hopper so we want to get the most of being...

I had looked at doing garden grocer but figured it would be more cost effective to just pack one suitcase with some snacks for the room. I figure the extra suitcase could be used for souvenirs that we bring back. I would like to bring some cereal, but i was wondering if there is a place at...
