    College of Disney Knowledge

    It is a course only for travel agents. There are several different levels of it, but you start out with the basic correspondence course. So if you are not a travel agent, then you won't have access to it.

    Yacht or Beach Club?

    We are already going to alternate between a MK area resort and an Epcot area resort, so I wouldn't want to change for a 3rd time to split between the YC&BC. It seems like most people overwhelmingly like the BC better. From the photos I have seen of the resort rooms I tend to like the decor of...

    Yacht or Beach Club?

    I was under the impression that the room decor was different, the dining was different, that some rooms have smaller balconies, etc... am I wrong? Is there basically no difference between the resorts? Have any of you stayed at both?

    Yacht or Beach Club?

    We would like to stay at a different Epcot resort on our upcoming WDW vacation in Januarary. We have stayed at the BWI the past 3 visits, and we absolutely LOVED it, but we want to try something new, so we are torn between the Yact or Beach Clubs. We will be traveling with our 7 yr. old...

    Can you go from a Deluxe to a Value?

    Wow! I never knew that one question could spark so much interest. After lots of comparison and going over the numbers I don't think I can go value. We tend to spend more time at the resort each year, and I think going from A MK Tower room at CR And the BWI to an All-Star would be pretty hard...

    EPCOT Resort choice?

    Thanks! I also need variety for a quick meal (usually breakfast) or a snack, like fresh fruit or salads. Unfortunately I can't eat any bread, pasta, cake, or fried foods, so I am out of luck at most places. I don't know how hard it would be at either resort to get these things.

    EPCOT Resort choice?

    We have stayed at the BWI the past 3 years and LOVED it, but want to try something different this year. We aren't interested in the Swan or Dolphin, so basically all that leaves is the YC/BC. Is there a big difference between the two? How hard is it to refill a mug there(it was a pain at the...

    Can you go from a Deluxe to a Value?

    I completely agree about nighttime at the resorts. We will be going in January, so the latest a park will be open will be EPCOT. That is why will will be finishing up our stay at an EPCOT resort. We also go back for afternoon naps, and spend many evenings around the Boardwalk dining and people...

    Can you go from a Deluxe to a Value?

    Wow! Thanks for all of your suggestions! We will be traveling with our 7 yr. old daughter, and she has a good bit of input in where we stay. Someone asked the question why I did not like POR. It was because of the room condition. The carpets were so dirty that they left the bottom of our socks...

    Can you go from a Deluxe to a Value?

    I have only had one bad experience at a Disney resort, and it was the POR. But the grounds were beautiful, much more so than most of the deluxe resorts we have stayed at. The only reason we were considering a value resort for part of our stay was to save a little money. I really like the looks...

    Can you go from a Deluxe to a Value?

    Thanks for all of your replies! I guess I should have told you that we haved stayed at a value before in '96(ASM), 2 times POR, 1 time each at POFQ and CS, 3 times at WL and BWI, and once at AKL and CR tower. I honestly did not see much difference in the moderate vs. value resorts. We had at...

    Can you go from a Deluxe to a Value?

    I am considering a stay at a value resort(POP or ASMO) after staying in deluxe resorts for years. We have stayed at the BWI the last few visits, and last year we stayed at the CR with a tower room MK view, which was awesome! We can do the exact same vacation we did last year if we stay in a...

    Will we like POFQ?

    As I stated earlier I did make a quick call to report the state of our room, but they were not quick to rectify the situation. I also asked to be moved to another room and they refused, since I was a travel agent and was getting a discount. That plays largely in my decision not to stay there...

    Will we like POFQ?

    Yes we did complain about our room at POR, and they tried to clean it, but there wasn't much they could do about it. There were stains all on the bedspread and sheets along with hairs, mildew all in the bathtub and in the bathroom tile, wallpaper peeling, a missing from the dresser drawer...

    Will we like POFQ?

    We have stayed at the POR(hated it), Coronado Springs, WL 3 times, ASMU(hated it), BWI 3 times(our favorite),CR(loved it), and AKL. We usually do a split stay, and as a travel agent I get a good discount so we can really stay at any resort. But to lower the cost we were going to split our stay...

    Where can I find a Wishes CD?

    We are traveling to Disney in December and my daughter is dying for a theme park soundtrack and a "Wishes" cd. So far I have not been able to locate any. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    What is your LEAST favorite Disney Resort?

    I know that this will be a very unpopular answer but I had the worst stay ever at POR, and would definately not return. The resort itself was lovely but the condition of the room was poor with broken furniture and light fixtures, dirty bedlinens, and mold and mildew all over the bathroom.
