    After 23 year no longer a DVC owner

    We were DVC owners since 2000 and just sold the last of our 3 contracts.We really loved it at WDW and used to go at least twice a year from the other side of the country. It just isn’t the same for us anymore and has really lost the magic. However, it was great fun while it lasted, I hope...

    TDR Oct 2023 suggestions?

    I disagree with a previous poster. We think the food at TDR is amazing and so adorable. We’ve been DVC owners at WDW for over 23 years and we have never found the food to even come close to Tokyo Disney. There is so much amazing food everywhere in Japan.

    Recommendations on purchasing TDR tickets? Klook?

    We are planning a trip 10/31 (not by design for Halloween but works for date) and 11/1. I’ve been researching the purchase of tickets, including TDR site, and am concerned about the issues of buying tickets in advance which is necessary. The official website is touch and go about accepting US...

    Magic Bands At Aulani?

    We arrived Monday, had our Aulani reservation linked online. Had three of WDW Magic Bands and they saw them all when I checked in. They told me to just use whichever one I wanted to open the door to my room. Has worked like a charm to open doors, charge, exit the parking lot. Just fyi on my...

    Cafe Ko Olina Place of Joy still open?

    We are arriving this week. The last time we were there a year or so ago, we went to this little outdoor cafe located down the path from Aulani. It was quiet and our food was excellent. Has anybody noticed recently if this place is still open? I’m seeing conflicting reports.

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2022 (Nov. 3-6, 2022)

    After many years we are selling our DVC and not renewing our annual passes. This will probably be our last run at Disney. We have Owner’s Locker bins that we are dealing with and I know that I have at least 2 ChEAR Squad blankets and their accessories that I won’t send home. If anyone is...

    Package shipping location recommendations?

    After many happy years we have decided we are done with our Disney adventures and will be selling our DVC and will be making one of our last trips soon. However, we have 2 Owners Lockers full of all kinds of stuff. I imagine we’ll just leave some of the items in the room when we leave but...

    We presently have an annual pass that is scheduled to expire early in our upcoming trip in November. We have already purchased a 5 day ticket to use during this trip after our AP expires. Now we are having second thoughts and may renew our APs. We have a reservation at BWV for this trip and...

    Parking in lot after official check out time?

    On the day we check out I will have to drop my husband off at an appointment elsewhere on the island. At this time, not sure of the time, but most likely the morning. I know that I can use the amenities on my last day even after check out time, but do you know how the parking works? I am...

    Did Aulani Blow You Away?

    West coaster older adults with no kids. Been to Hawaii many, many times but used our DVC BWV points to stay at Aulani 3 times so far. It’s beautiful but we find it boring, but then I love the restaurants and activity at Waikiki.

    When should we sell our contracts?

    Would appreciate some advice into possibly selling our contracts. We would like to do so in the future, but we presently have reservations using points in both early November and mid January. Do we have to wait until the reservations are complete or can we start the resale process earlier? We...

    Space220 - a fad or does it have staying power

    For us, food wasn’t the issue. We sat in the lounge. We just weren’t impressed with the ambiance. I was disappointed with the visuals, not that exciting. The ride “up” was probably the best part. I wouldn’t recommend it to friends or family considering the price. I’m also wondering what...

    I miss the Citrus Swirl!

    I’ve had 2 this week, so yummy and refreshing. One time it was available thru mobile order, the next time not, so I had to wait in line to order (after confirming that it was available) but it was worth it.

    Digital Membership Cards?

    Sorry, I’m sure this is addressed somewhere in this post but haven’t found it yet. My husband has been unable to link his DVC pass to his wallet, just me in my phone. He has his own log in and I tried one fix that I read about, deleting and re entering his cell phone but we just got an error...
