    Park Reservation question

    Since park hopping has been reinstated and can be done after 2 PM I am curious about a couple of things. 1) can you park hop to more than one park after 2pm? Let's say we start at MK with a reservation in the morning and then at 2 pm we hop to EPCOT, no reservation needed. Can we then go to HS...

    Question about parking at Grand Californian

    I know that valet parking is free for handicapped people at Walt Disney World resorts but I have not been able to find if that also hold true for Grand Californian. We will be staying on DVC points. Thanks.

    Universal AP Questions

    We are planning a trip in May 2019 for a few days at Universal Florida and we also plan to be going back for a few days within a year, so that means an AP would work well for us. I am thinking of buying the Seasonal Passes since the blockout dates will not affect us. My question is does it make...

    Beach Club Pool Question

    We will be staying at the Beach Club using DVC points in March. This is our first time staying there. I know the use of Stormalong Bay is very restricted so I want to know if we can have our five year old granddaughter join us in the pool and pool area. She is not staying with us so she is not...

    Polynesian DVC Disappointment

    We just returned from our second DVC stay at the Polynesian Village Resort and I must say once again I was disappointed with one particular but to me major thing. For the second time we spent the extra points for a “lake view” room. Let me interrupt myself briefly and add that I do not...

    Polynesian DVC Check-In Area

    I have not seen this information posted anywhere so I will ask it here. Will check-in for people staying at the Polynesian DVC be at the Great Ceremonial House or will there be a check-in desk at one of the DVC longhouses? I remember when Bay Lake Tower opened and you had to check-in at the...

    Visiting Fort Wilderness to see Christmas decorations

    Having heard so much about them I think we would like to go visit Fort Wilderness to see the Christmas decorations that are put up by the guests. We will be in WDW between November 13 and 24. We are thinking of renting a golf cart just for the evening because I can only do so much walking due to...

    Monorail Shut Down

    If this has already been posted please forgive me (I know some of you have a problem with that) but we were just at the TTC and could not board the monorail. They said it was a full system shutdown and we saw about 10 Disney execs coming up the exit ramp as we headed down it. I asked one of them...

    Rental Car Selection at Disney Car Care Center

    I was thinking of renting a car at the Disney Car Care Center and I was wondering how big the selection of cars is. There are always tons of cars to choose from at Alamo/National at the Orlando airport. I am sure there are fewer cars at the Car Care Center but I have no idea if they only have a...

    Tipping at Victoria and Albert's

    We will be having our first meal ever at Victoria and Albert's in just a couple of weeks! I am really excited! I was wondering how much most of you tip there. I am assuming the service is going to be the best I have ever had, so is 18% - 20% enough? Do you tip more? If so how much more? Any...

    No Evening EMH at MK for 3 weeks?

    Does anyone know why there are no EVENING extra magic hours at the Magic Kingdom between October 22 and November 10? This information is showing (or maybe I should say NOT showing) at both WDWMAGIC and the Disney World website. EMH for MK is usually on a Sunday unless they are having a party...

    No MK Nighttime EMH hours November 3-5

    I know that the Magic Kingdom usually has evening Extra Magic Hours on Sunday nights. Sometimes due to Halloween or Christmas parties they have them on Monday nights instead. But for some reason on November 3, 4 and 5 there are no EMH at all for MK. Then the following week it appears they are...

    Booking rooms with points from 2 contracts

    I called DVC to ask about this and amazingly the person I spoke to did not know the answer. I think he basically did not understand my question. He was friendly, almost overly friendly. But he had very little knowledge. So I will try the experts here which I should have done in the first place...

Anyway today I checked and my room is still showing as waitlisted BUT when I searched for rooms they...
