    Three hotels in 8 days. Are we dumb?

    OKW May 28 - June1 CBR June 1 - June 3 AKL (Kidani) June 3 - June 4 Due to airfare being super expensive from our hometown, we actually saved money by delaying our arrival by 1 day but extending the trip 4 days.

    Any tips for a split stay?

    Our trip begins in 47 days! We're DVC, so we've booked OKW May 28-June 1. After that, we check into CBR for June 1-June 3. After a long story I won't get into (nothing bad, just long,) we ended up with 17 points to use. So what did we do? We booked a savanna view studio at Kidani for June 3-June...

    Buying one-time use points...

    We have 49 points left and are looking to possibly come back for another trip at the end of the summer (Aug-Sep.) Even borrowing points, we don’t have quite enough to stay for the number of nights we want. Is the process of buying the one-time use points difficult? What are your experiences? Thanks!

    Hoop Dee Doo transportation options...

    The wife and I decided to reserve a seat at Hoop Dee Doo, but we want to know the easiest way to get there. We're staying at POLY, so monorail to MK, then the bus? Or is there a quicker way?

    POLY with a 2 year old...

    We just upgraded our trip in May from our beloved POFQ to the POLY. I've always dreamed of staying in a monorail resort, and we were able to swing it because of the room discounts. I was a little apprehensive about switching too, because we love the FQ so much, but I don't know if this...
