    Is it really worth it to become a DVC member?

    We have been 3 times in the last 13 months, staying onsite all three times. We were also considering but are still unsure. I just see the amount we spend on staying on-site and think it has to save us some money???

    Deluxe Dinning Vs Basic Dinning

    Both options are great. When we did the basic we just paid out of pocket for the lower cost meals. We make our breakfast reservations early (8 am) and many times the rope drop isn't until 9am. So we are already in the parks by that time and can cruise onto our favorite places. We also...

    Windsor Hills Condo - too available?

    We are looking for June. Here is an email that I received from one of the owners: FYI: Beware of the many cheap rate Windsor Hills rental scams found elsewhere to avoid vacation ruining issues upon arrival. It has been determined that an organized group using professional appearing websites...

    Summer Bay Resort or Silver Lake Resort?

    We stayed at summer bay 4 years ago. It was really nice but I remember it being kind of far from the parks. Not sure if Silver Lake is closer or not.

    Somewhere between GA and Orlando

    We are staying at The Renaissance at the World Golf Resort in St Augustine. We bid on it on priceline and did not originally get it but got an email back for a rate of 75 for the night. It's a little over 2 hours from there to Orlando and right off I-95.

    Can our family book a second trip before our first one is here?

    Yes you can. Keep looking for better deals and check the bounceback offer when you go. I book with the best deals I can find at the time but keep looking for better rates.

    Pins?

    We got a pin but the 4 for 3 deal was a better rate than the 40% off deluxe. We used our pin to book another trip in June. I hope there is a better bounceback offer when we get there in a few weeks.

    DxDP or regular DDP?

    We are in the same situation in trying to decide if we want to pay OOP or keep our deluxe dining plan. After much thought and calculating the cost of everything we are going to keep the deluxe dining plan. We have 4 2 TS credits (spirit of Aloha, Brown Derby Fantasmic Package, Flying Fish and...

    Any way to use a code to book for extended family?

    I was able to book and pay for an additional package for my parents using my pin in Sept. The funny thing is that I used my email address for contact and they just got a pin. Go figure...

    California Grill with kids?

    When we have gone to signature restaurants we never use 2 TS credits for the kids meals. We pay out of pocket (less than 10 dollars) and save the meals for another sit down or a quick serve. I can't justify using 2 tickets for an $8 meal.

    Adult dining plan for my 8 year old?

    I usually order something that my 8 year old will like as well and share. With the deluxe dining plan there is way too much food for me to eat anyway. We just order his meal for his sister (she's 2) or save it for a later time. Most of the TS restaurants have at least one good choice for children.

    DxDP ADR's ??????

    We are going in January with the deluxe plan and have booked many things that require 2 TS (Spirit of Aloha, Brown Derby, CRT etc..) If we have three booked for one day we tried to do charecter meals with buffets so that we could get in and out quicker/keep the kids entertained. You may just...

    Do you travel lite or pack it all?

    We drive too and bring it all plus some... I am going to try and pack a little lighter in January since we are doing the deluxe dining plan. We won't need as many snacks and drinks.

    To DVC or not DVC... that is the question!

    We are still debating. I can see if you go twice a year and stay in deluxe resorts how it would be well worth it.

    OMG- Zhu Zhu Pets are they the new Cabbage Patch Kids????

    They have set limits at both Target and Walmart in our area to 2 per person. I know it's frustrating. I was able to get the last two on the shelves for my neighbors kids. My family found the two for our kids. We have not had any trouble with accesories etc... they are fully stocked.

    Downtown Disney Hilton question

    It's a parking fee and you pay it up front and get a ticket to re-use throughout your stay. It lets you in and out of the lot.

    Fantasmic Package: yea or nay?

    We went in Sept waited 45 minutes and almost did not get a seat at the Fantasmic Show. We booked the package this time but don't mind eating early. I think our reservation is at 4:30 and the show is earlier since we are going in January (6:30pm).
