    Magical Express/Person not on reservation

    I have a strange deal. We have a trip planned in June with multiple rooms with different people coming and going at different times. We will never be over capacity, but how do you handle magical express in this situation. For example my mother is going to come down once my brother in law goes...

    Big River Grille parking

    Any restaurant can have a bad day. But our meal was great. I got the steak with crab meat on top. One of my best meals on the last trip. Matthew

    $75 per day. Family of three.

    I realize I have options to save money. But I am really looking for good table service meals on a budget. For example: We could go to Beaches and Cream and get: Roast Beef Sub - Grilled Roast Beef with Au Jus and topped with Provolone Cheese, Grilled Onions, and Peppers $11.49...

    $75 per day. Family of three.

    I need some creative suggestions. Our family of three, DS7, need to limit our food budget for our June 09 trip to $75 per day. 4 days at Boardwalk, 4 Days at Vero Beach, and then 1 day at Animal Kingdom lodge. We have been to Disney 10+ times, and have never had a restricted food budget...

    Valet Parking ? When Not Staying on Points

    Yes, TIW or DDE does work for valet parking if you are eating. We have done it at Poly. We had been valet parking all week using our DVC card, we pulled up at Poly and they said they didn't accept DVC, and explained the rule. Luckily the very nice valet pointed out that DDE did get free...

    Anyone else get the DVC survey re: DVC 'elite' club?

    Ok, so I am one of those 25 point members. But the reason I bought 25 points is because I already own 500k Wyndham Points. I really didn't need any more timeshare time, but I wanted the DVC perks. So a small contract works, and I am a full DVC citizen. I really like that about DVC, but I...

    Yikes! Worlds Passport Collection is switching from II to RCI!

    I don't know how this discussing digressed into a discussion about Wyndham. But sense I'm an Wyndham and DVC owner I will chime in. I own 500k Wyndham points, in two separate account, one has II access and then other has RCI access. I purchased the separate Wyndham II account becuase after...

    Anyone else get the DVC survey re: DVC 'elite' club?

    This concerns me. One of the things I really like about DVC is that they treat all members equally. It doesn't matter if you bought resale, it doesn't matter that you only own 25 points, every member gets the same perks, and the use of there membership. In many other timeshare points programs...

    Does anyone want to explain this "RCI" thing in simple terms????

    You only get the exchange if its available, but it does not have to be a direct exchange. The deposits are put in the exchange bank. If 1000 people make deposits, each gets to make a withdrawal. There is also a system to rank the deposits, so if you deposit a high quality resort and time, you...

    Does anyone want to explain this "RCI" thing in simple terms????

    I'm suprised no one has responded yet. I will give it a try. I'm sure others could do a better job, but here goes. One of your options with DVC is to exchange some of your DVC points to go to timeshare resorts outside of Disney. To get you a reservation outside of Disney, DVC contracts...

    Polynesian/fireworks

    Valet is free if you have DDE & eat at a restaurant. You have to bring your receipt and card to valet when you get your car.

    Unusual Dining Question

    We don't cook. But we do make a grocery run for sodas and snacks. It seems like we can never eat all the food when we use the meal plan, so we bring some of it back to the room and put it in the fridge. We have lots in the fridge by the end of the week, especially when we have had a couple...

    Exchange Question

    If you are looking for value, and are interested in spending the time to learn all of he ins and outs of the program. Wyndham Fairshare Plus might work for you. Its a points based system, with bunch of resorts for internal use of the points, plus if you were to buy Wyndham Star Island or...

    Rental Car/Magical Express Question

    We normally rent a car, but have disney take care of our luggage. But only if we can get a really good deal on the car. If you look on hotwire.com you should be able to come up with a rate around $20.00 per day. The last time we paid $12.00 per day. It really depends on what your plans are &...

    first time disney family

    Arrive at the parks late, and go back to your resort early. Relax, enjoy vacation, don't overtire the little ones. Disney is wonderful, but you don't have to see it all on your first trip. I have seen many families stress themselves and the little ones out trying to fit it all in. I know...

    Tell Me the Good About Rose & Crown

    We got stuck there on our last trip, during the food and wine festival this year. We had planned on eating lunch and dinner at the stands, but the crowds were getting bad, one of the only ADR's available for dinner at that point was Rose & Crown. I had looked at the menu a number of times...

    Tonys town square or WCC

    WCC is about the location, and the theme. The food is just ok. We loved the restaurant the first time, but everytime we visit I am less and less impressed. Don't get me wrong, I still like it, but eventually the theme only carries you so far, and you need good food too. I stopped ordering...

    Feedback/reviews for Captain's Grill

    We really liked captains grill. On our last trip we went twice. But that was because we hand't gotten ADR's. I had forgot about adding the DDP 9 months before. So, we were left scrambling for places to eat. We were staying at the boardwalk. It was a nice walk around to the yacht club for...

    Le Cellier ok for kids?

    It depends what your comparing it to. In my opinion every restaurant at Disney World is kid friendly. That is, I would feel comfortable taking a well behaved kid to any restaurant at Disney World. That being said, some of the restaurants really cater to the kids. Whisering Canyon at...
