    News Southwest Airlines to Introduce Checked Bag Fees Starting May 28, 2025

    I agree with so much that has been said already. We were huge SW fans after we switched over when Midwest Express ceased operations. During the pandemic, we started flying Delta on certain trips and realized we were getting much more for our money and more flight options and destinations. We...

    News Jellyrolls Announces Departure from Disney's BoardWalk at Walt Disney World

    Wasn't there a rumor that Disney was going to open a Jazz club on the Boardwalk? Or am I hallucinating? -Which-tbf-could be true with all the medication I am currently on for the respiratory crud I picked up at WDW 2 weeks ago......

    The Walt Disney Company brands, franchises, and offerings survey, including The Simpsons

    Our family enjoys The Simpsons and would love to have a place at Disney for visiting "Springfield." I think retheming Sunset Blvd would be fun having Moe's Tavern, Krusty Burger, Lard Lad's Donuts, Kwik e Mart and retheme RnRC (scrap Muppets Plan) to "Otto's Wild Bus Ride." So much...

    News Tiana's New Year's Adventure at California Grill ($799)

    I can't imagine how anyone could justify paying $3200 for a family of 4 to go to this event. Being an IP event, it should be to appeal to a family with children, right?? Insane. Kids will be bored(and ready for bed) before the 2 hour mark. If this is supposed to be for adults, why make it...

    News Tiana's New Year's Adventure at California Grill ($799)

    Crazy pants!! I can't imagine being in the CG for 5 hours much less paying $799 a person to be bored while I graze between food stations. Hard pass.

    POFQ refurbishments for some rooms starting soon:

    It has finally started to rain but the water levels are still way too low to run the boats.

    POFQ refurbishments for some rooms starting soon:

    No. There has not been enough rainfall to fill the waterway to acceptable levels. On the bright side, it means less downtime for rain in the parks. 🙃

    POFQ refurbishments for some rooms starting soon:

    It's not closed for refurbishment. The pool is closed because a water pipe burst. It will reopen once it has been repaired.

    Yacht club vs contemporary

    Agreed! I think they usually try to make the DVC property theming more subtle and upscale but one could PREVIOUSLY say the same about Deluxe accommodations on property as well. Until....the iNCrediBLy bAd retheme at CR.

    Yacht club vs contemporary

    Unfortunately, they carried that poor decision over to the garden wing as well. There is no escape from the cold bland vibe peppered with gaudy cartoon character stickers.

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    RE pp comment on TBA opening before TT goes down for the big redo, I think this is a valid point. RnR is still down for refurb and I haven't read any rumors of its reopening date. I can't imagine going on vacation this summer and having 3 headliners unavailable. I think it will be open to the...

    Remote working at WDW & in-room desks disappearing?

    At this point, the YC/BC still have the desks with the rolling table nested underneath. I don't work from the resort room but our family loves the desk and rolling table for eating breakfast and desserts in the room with the occasional laptop usage as well. I think the new rooms at GF and BW...

    Permits 2024

    Given all the permits for POFQ with Balfour Beatty as the contractor, I guess the rumours are true of a full room renovation.

    Where to Stay?!

    Our DDs are 22 and 25 now and we have been doing 2 rooms at POFQ for the past few trips. Having 2 bathrooms and the extra space is a must for our family. POFQ is easy on the budget, a compact resort, has great bus service, really yummy quick service food with several unique offerings, and a...

    Trespassing third parties

    Yup, that's the couple. It all started being cryptic the day they were supposed to do a livestream on It's a Small World for charity. On the day, it never went live and their communications stopped until the YT memberships were cancelled and they had a post saying that it was intentional and...

    Trespassing third parties

    Do we really know if Disney didn't give them a warning? (not that they are required to) There is a well-known vlogger couple of which one of them started working as one of these tour guides. About 4 or 5 weeks ago-ish, they suddenly stopped their regular posts and videos and have been very...

    Which resort hotel to choose

    Completely agree with above post!! Choose the Uni hotel by best price unless the theme, dining, or room decor speaks to you more. All 3 of the premium hotels are close to the parks and provide a fun water taxi if you want to save your feet.

    Which resort hotel to choose

    Travel day can be exhausting. I suggest just getting settled in your room and hang in Disney Springs for the evening. Go to bed early before your first big park day. I agree with pp, Uni is easily done in 3 days especially since you are staying at Portofino (if I remember correctly) as you...

    Which resort hotel to choose

    POFQ is slightly closer to DS by 2-3 minutes-ish. The bigger draw of POFQ is the small resort size, single bus stop, and the food. The distance to DS is a plus but somewhat negligible. The boat ride to DS is scenic and relaxing. Your question regarding summer 2024 discounts can't easily be...

    Which resort hotel to choose

    Oh gosh......DD25 and I LOVE those beignets!! They are so good. Perfectly soft, chewy, and slightly sweet. For dessert, we use dipping sauces and for breakfast we eat with just the powdered sugar. MMmmmmm.....
