    Man caught trying to enter Magic Kingdom with gun

    I was too in May. I am also DVC member and Annual Pass. On first day, I had gone to AK just to purchase new TIW card. I was selected to go through screening just to go to Guest Services. I thought it was peculiar, but everyday for the rest of the week...I was "randomly" selected

    Need advice- which building for old key west?

    I'm a DVC member. Though my home resort is not OKW, I have stayed there in a studio and a two bedroom. If you happen to be placed in an area away from the main pool, you don't have to walk. You can utilize the bus system to ride to the Hospitality House/Main pool/Restaurants. When you arrive at...

    Family Vacation - Starting to Plan

    Here are some points to "ponder" ;) June is "peak season" anywhere on the panhandle. A condo at the beach will cost more than a value or moderate at Disney during June. What mountains are you referring to? East Tennessee? Ozarks? I've lived in Pensacola and I'm originally from Huntsville...

    BOG Order Ahead

    I was there last Friday, October 16th, for lunch. I had ordered ahead. We were immediately taken inside though we arrived 20 minutes early for our ADR.(1315 original; arrived at 1255) We went to register, paid, and found a table in a different dining room than we had previously eaten last...

    AKL - silly question but...

    :pCongratulations on your wedding and upcoming DisneyMoon!:p Kidani Village is our home resort; we love it. It's very quiet with lots of charm. Jambo House is great too, it's just bigger, busier, and louder. Both resorts have awesome pools, but I give the edge to KV. :happy:

    Whatever happened to value, regular, and peak?!

    I'm an Alabama girl, so I never like it cold. (cold to me is 50-60 degrees and very cold is below 50 degrees) I went for a short girl trip in February 2014 from the 20-23. There were 6 of us staying at Saratoga Springs. We swam our first day and wore shorts the entire time. The weather was great...

    Pools @ Animal Kingdom Lodge

    Our home resort is Kidani. We love the pool area. Our children are grown now in their twenties so we don't judge on child-friendly etc. However, if you are at one place and want to check out the other pool, you don't have to walk or wait for a bus. There is a passenger van shuttle going between...

    Tell Me About AKL Club Level

    Our home resort is Kidani Village too. Love it! We would never choose Jambo House club level over Kidani Village, but that is our preference as family. We love the extra bathroom and square footage. :happy:

    EPCOT Candlelight Proc/Illuminations ???

    Yes, the designated viewing area for Illuminations FP+ last December was an area roped off at Port of Entry. It was nothing spectacular. I was glad I didn't waste a FP+ on it.

    EPCOT Candlelight Proc/Illuminations ???

    During our trip last December, we had the Candlelight Processional Dining Package. It did "not" give us reserved seating for Illuminations. That's entirely separate.

    Garden Grocer vs. Amazon Pantry

    We fly. I have no intention of paying for a rental car. GG shops mostly at Publix. I do too in my home state. We eat organic too. I found the prices to be in line with what I normally pay. In our villa, we have a full kitchen. We do not use a dining plan, nor do we eat out everyday. The costs...

    Garden Grocer vs. Amazon Pantry

    I've never used Amazon Pantry. I have an account with Garden Grocer. Have absolutely no complaints with Garden Grocer. Our home resort is AKL-Kidani Village. Our groceries have always been waiting for us in bell services. After our arrival, I just phone bell services and have groceries delivered...

    Ticket prices when buying through DVC

    The special last year for the 200.00/4 day tickets began selling in September 2014. They had to be purchased by December 31, 2014 and be used by May 2015. DVC members could buy up to 8. I know...I purchased all 8. It was pretty popular so I will not be surprised if it's brought back this year.

    Adjoining studio vs. 2 Bedroom at Beach Club Villas

    The villas will not take 20 months though. The entire resort was given 20 months from start-to-finish. Work began this past fall at the resort. I was there in December.

    Kidani Village -- crazy walk to my room!

    Request "Near Lobby" at 60 day online check in. It worked for my family.

    Pool and hot tub hours and access

    I wonder if the pool hours are a response to the drowning last year? (value resort-late at night with no life guard present)

    I added on!!!!

    Well, I heard just awhile ago from our rep. She gave me several options regarding different resorts. Will have to talk with the hubby later this evening. Our home resort is Kidani. No points are available for AKL right now. She said we could go on a wait list, but now I'm interested in Aulani...
