    Some Lounge Chairs now are bookable

    Great to hear - thank you!! How about the beach chairs? Are those a problem/challenge as well, or is it primarily chairs around the pool(s)?

    Some Lounge Chairs now are bookable

    Survival of the fittest manifestation?! Ugh.... First Aulani trip scheduled for May and this thread is quite a bummer to read. We're planning to explore the island and off property beaches quite a bit, but I hate the idea of having to fight the masses for seats when we return in the...

    ***The Official AKV Owners And Lovers Thread***. Come And Chat

    Hi all! Popping in to share our excitement over putting a deposit down yesterday on a 160 point AKV contract. We owned a small 100 point contract purchased directly from Disney (our first DVC stay was checking into Kidani on opening day), but sold it quite a while ago (long story!) and have...

    VGF Resale Prices

    Curious if there's a way for you to share which "friendlier site" you are speaking of? :) I would love to work with someone who has been recommended as being above board and easy to work with. Thanks in advance for any information you are able to share!

    Extended evening hours

    I'm going to ask this, even though I know it will be tough to answer. Just wondering if we have any idea how easy or difficult it is to get a GotG BG with the 6:00 drop, compared to the earlier VQ's? I'm trying to gage whether I want to chance waiting until the 6:00 VQ on our Epcot day. We...

    Anyone ever move to Orlando just to be closer to Disney?

    Those are what you call "bandwagon fans".

    Flight of Passage: Overrated?

    Rode it for the first (and second) time last week. Went into it ready to pounce on Disney for yet another letdown (sorry folks, I'm feeling just a wee bit anti-Disney lately...too many disappointments for this long-time Disney lover), but I have to say - I loved it. A lot.

    Animal Kingdom today?

    The same thing happened to us last Wednesday....both Pandora rides were down for hours because of a fire alarm. We had a 4:55-5:55 FP for FoP, so we were pretty bummed. The window passed so we got the magic fastpass (that's what we called it, not the official name) that you get when a ride is...

    For those NOT getting Flight of Passage fast passes.....

    No - that was their only AK day as they are doing Universal and then Disney. It's really ridiculous. And let me tell you how mad she (BF) was when I told her about the "good neighbor hotels" getting FP's 60 days out, just like her (she's a DVC member). It has gotten so out of control, and has...

    Wow - looks packed at MK today! (ride wait times) - April 2nd

    I hope you are right! We fly down on the 14th and I am praying the crowds die down before then. I honestly don't think I could handle the crowds I'm seeing in pictures this week...

    For those NOT getting Flight of Passage fast passes.....

    60 days out,, 7am on the dot....my best friend logged in and there were ZERO FoP FP's available for the day for her family of 5. None.

    Can’t Make a Decision!!! Poly or GF??

    Your wish list described the GF much more than the Poly, I think. Though I have stayed at both and preferred the "feel" of the Poly...

    New York City

    I have stayed here multiple times and think it's a great location (and often a really decent price for Manhattan). http://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/new-york/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-metropolitan-new-york-city-NYCDTDT/index.html

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    I was looking at Target gift cards on Raise yesterday, and each one of the egift cards had a message that you can't use the Target gift cards to buy other gift cards. ????

    energy on long runs

    This is really something you have to play with, to see what works best for you. I have friends that do a Gu every 4-5 miles, friends that eat a gummy bear every mile, and friends that use nothing! My "sweet spot" seems to be 1 Gu chomp every 2-3 miles, so I'm using about a bag (4 chomps, or...
