    Thoughts and advice on a resort complaint

    We were clear with the front desk at check in that we were not interested in taking the compensation in lieu of daily housekeeping service and did make in-person requests asking for the lacking service. We typically rent DVC points without mousekeeping and have no issue however this was a...

    Thoughts and advice on a resort complaint

    West coast travelers with youngish kids we spent 10 days over Christmas at Caribbean Beach Resort and had a fantastic time. It was our first time staying at CBR after spending most trips at AKL. Kids enjoyed the Skyliner as much as the parks and for the most part it was a delightful trip...

    Revisiting the idea of DVC ownership

    Seriously thought about buying into DVC about three years ago - however living on the west coast and not building up flier miles quick enough to get 2 free tickets annually did not justify the cost of ownership at the time. My wife and I are now revisiting the idea of buying in but purchasing...

    Alligator Bayou room requests, does it matter?

    Looking at the map building 14 and 18 look like really good option for staying at Alligator Bayou - even with standard view rooms it would be hard to find a place in these buildings that do not have a decent view or would be a close walk to bus stops/dining. Anyone have any thoughts of...

    Please Share Your Experience at CSR Pepper Market

    We stayed at CSR with our Grand Gathering last December for a week and ate at the Pepper Market a total of 4 times; each time was a bad experience. They were staff was generally unfriendly (I've never felt like more of a nuisance to someone than when I was trying to explain to the cook that I...

    Recommend an iPOD/MP3

    I have owned, and burned through, many MP3 players over the last 8 years; Abstained from being an iPod lemming until this last year but now cannot go back to anything else - The iPod is far and away a superior product to any other MP3 player I have purchased and the ease of use through iTunes is...

    questions about Port Orleans

    We stayed a week in Magnolia Bend in 2006 and were a little underwhelmed about the accomodations. We made the decision to stay there after a week at the FQ the previous year. It was not bad place to stay, just did not live up to our expectations - we wished we had stayed at Alligator Bayou...

    Now I Am Way Way Way Annoyed!!!

    On the topic of Le Cellier's menu change - they offer a paltry 2 steaks for their dinner entree selection.... same same number of fish dishes... Not that they do not have a decent menu, but it is no longer a high priority for me, I will take my group to the Concourse Steakhouse --- hard to pass...

    POFQ Room Requests

    We were on the ground floor of building 6 facing the river in 2005 - thought it was great, not loud at all, foot traffic was across the lawn and never a problem. What was really nice with that location was that we could look out the window and see when the boat was approaching - which I am sure...

    how do you use your dining plan snack credits?

    We did not use any of ours at the parks or the resort, but before we left I used them all up to buy Mickey ice cream bars and packed them in my luggage for a tasty treat when I get home ...oh.....oh NO!
