    Wi-Fi horrendous

    it's interesting - i don't get wifi on the beach... or the adult pool... and really why would i want that when i'm there. But in the gym I'm able to stream my workouts, and in my room watch my movies, so I guess it really depends where you are. I was working throughout the week during my last...

    Wi-Fi horrendous

    I've been to Aulani 4 times now and bought more points for last trip. It's a beautiful place and I love every aspect of it. Don't mind the haters... there will always be some.

    I'm planning on a grand villa next stay too. Was it difficult for you to book at 7 months out? Did you go with ocean view or standard view?

    Have been dreaming about this for about 8 years!

    Now it's a reality! I just added on to Aulani. I went to Aulani for the first time in 2011 for a milestone birthday. And will be repeating the stay with more friends and family in 2021. I had to plan though and so bit the bullet and added on to my vacation membership! Yay! My second home...

    VERO BEACH Information & Adoration Thread

    We are going to Vero Beach for the first time and we're looking forward to it after a long year and half stint without a break! How are the restaurants on site. We are staying in a Standard View Inn Room so not going to be cooking on our own. I plan to also not be driving very much... this is...

    Why is price of DVC MYW ticket more expensive than UT?

    Oops I stand corrected the park hopper/water park version is a better deal as UT is $409.95

    Why is price of DVC MYW ticket more expensive than UT?

    Yeah but adding the hopper and water park yielded a bigger discrepancy DVC = $392.99 UT = $381.95 I just found the discussion about the perks - wow... I guess I'm realizing more and more that I didn't buy the membership for the perks, but still would be nice to not find market rates that much...

    Why is price of DVC MYW ticket more expensive than UT?

    Has anyone noticed that? Am I missing something? I'm just buying for our upcoming trip for mid-March and was excited to see the offer for DVC members for the 25th anniversary. But when I compared the two sites, I got: DVC 5 day MYW no hopper pass =$324.83 UT 5 day MYW no hopper pass = $321.95...

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    I'm looking to book a flight back mid-March for Canadian March Break. All the flights say WGA fares are unavailable. Is it true they are sold out? Or will something open up soon? I'm nervous because I have flights down, have the resorts reserved, but no flight back - I guess there could be...

    The Holidays Are Upon Us: Single Parent Traditions?

    Since my husband died 14 years ago, we have always gone away for the holidays. It became our tradition to go somewhere warm and since he's been one I have traveled with him to Florida mostly. It is on one of those trips that I bought DVC. Now we are restricted to his exam schedule, but I've...

    Southwest Outrageous Ticket Prices

    Thanks for reporting this. I'm checking on the WGA fares for March break (13 - 19) and just got Mar 13 at $209/person. I'm going to wait a little to book the return because I feel it will come down on both ends and then I can use the credit. I also had a Xmas trip booked and had a small $44...

    Single Parent DVC members?

    I love my DVC membership. It's meant that I could take it easy with our vacations, not be stressed out about going to parks and getting "value" for the vacations. And with the way Disney takes care of guests, it means that I had a vacation as much as my son. And I also loved having a full...

    Single Parent DVC members?

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm a big fan of the Disboards, so informative. It was through these boards I've navigated the whole DVC system. The expense of DVC is really dependent on the number of points you buy and from where. I found the best expenditure for my situation and have about a...

    I've been a widow for 14 years, my husband passed away when my son was 1 (I've never remarried). It's been vacations that has kept me regenerated and focused in my times of grief. And the Disney vacations have been the best. After a number of times when I tried to scrimp on vacations, I...
