I searched through the different threads and couldn't find an answer to my question. Can we share meals at the different restaurants? I know you can share at the counter service, but I'm talking about non-buffet, table service meals. I am not buying the dining plan next year. I am trying to...

I'm about a year out, but getting ready for my 25th anniversary. I am looking at using my DVC points for one of two possibilities: 1) A Disney Cruise 2) Aulani My home resort is Kidani, but I won't be booking during any of the peak times. I was looking for some feedback... if you could...

We are slow to leave the resort in the morning... not wanting to really leave, and enjoy the final moments there. After that, we typically head to Downtown Disney and wander around there for a bit, grabbing some lunch at Wolfgang Pucks or somewhere, doing some final shopping, sitting around...

I've stayed at SSR twice. Once at Congress Park and once at The Grandstand. Congress Park is nice because it is slightly set apart from everything else, and maybe a "bit" quieter. But, it's also a hike to the main building, the boat taxi to Downtown Disney, etc. The Grandstand was our...

We have stayed in one bedroom vacation home at Kidani Village a couple of times with 5 of us. My wife and I use the King size bed. My two daughters sleep on the pull out sofa. My son sleeps in the pull out chair bed. Maybe it depends on the resort, but a 1BR at Kidani shows on the papers...

I've been a DVC member for a couple years now at Kidani. The thing is, if you are trying to justify things financially, especially as an investment, making money by renting points, breaking even, etc., then you are never, never going to make any time share, let alone a Disney time share make...

We are a family of 5 and just got back from Disney. We stayed 3 nights at the Cabins. Compared to most other options for a family of 5-6 people, the cabins are an excellent option. My wife and I slept on the pull down Murphy bed and my 3 kids slept in the main bedroom with the queen size...

I think the Cabins at Ft. Wilderness is a great option. It is much roomier than any of the other places that would sleep 6, plus you get a full kitchen, fridge (big bonus), and you're all in one place instead of joining rooms. Another option is to see if you can buy a Disney Vacation Club...

We have stayed at SSR twice, Jambo House once, and Kidani Village 3 times. We bought AKL back in 2008, and love it!! It is an excellent resort. While I don't think you could go wrong choosing SSR or AK, we really love our home resort. I've never had a problem booking anywhere from 5 - 11...

I think you should do it. It sounds like a good deal to me. We joined back in 2008 at Kidani Village. We really like it there, find it very relaxing. Animal Kingdom was our favorite resort, so Kidani was a good fit for us. Doing anything like DVC, or a similar time-share, is always a head...

Looking for an opinion about buying park tickets. I am coming in December and will go to 2 parks. There are 5 of us. I have gone to the Disney site and found the price of tickets, and I have searched for "Discount Disney Tickets" in Google. It seems that the only real price break for...

I was told to meet someone at the Firehouse in Townsquare. Is that in Magic Kingdom, near the front before you walk down Mainstreet? I didn't know there was a Firehouse there. Or, was that a mistake and that is Disneyland in California?? Anyway, if anyone knows, I would appreciate a bit of...

I love being on the Dining Plan. But, I feel it is time Disney adds a middle price plan into their structure. It may be more work, but it makes perfect sense. For 2011, on the regular dining plan, a 3-9 year old is $11.99 (a good deal), and 10+ years is $45.99. My son, who is currently 9...

Thanks for the advice everyone! We will be able to hit all the parks except Animal Kingdom... so we'll get to see the Osborne lights and the World Showcase for Christmas. Really looking forward to it. We've seen the Travel Channel specials on the Grand Floridian at Christmas, so that was on...

We are heading to WDW Dec 17-23. It will be our first time there for Christmas... and really looking forward to it. I'm wondering if anyone who has Christmas experience would have any ideas of things that would be great to do. - We already have tickets for the Very Merry Christmas Party on...

My idea about having characters wish a happy birthday is for when someone is not physically at Disney to do this themselves. I live in Texas and just got this idea yesterday... so it's a bit hard for me to whisk off to Disney to have Belle, Cinderella, Peter Pan, etc. say "Happy 10th Birthday...

Does anyone know if Disney offers a service where characters can record a video wishing someone Happy Birthday? I am between Disney trips (will be back in December), and had an idea that I wanted to put together a video for my daughter with several people wishing her a happy birthday, and mix...

Thanks for the reply. I suppose you probably would miss Tinker Bell flying too since the restaurant is not facing Main Street? While you don't want to rush a very expensive meal, at the same time, you don't want to miss the fireworks. We will have some 1st time visitors with us, and they...

I have reservations for 8:35 pm at Cinderella's Royal Table in July. Fireworks start at 10:00 pm. Two questions: 1) Will the dinner last 90 minutes so that I cannot get down to Main Street to see the Fireworks? It's gonna be hard to find a good spot that late, but I still want to see them...
