    Any way to cut costs on meals @ WDW

    I'm at Disneyworld now and I was pleasantly surprised by the kids meals at Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavilion at EPCOT. The helpings were almost the same size as the adult version and at half the cost. A full American breakfast included about 4 strips of bacon, two eggs worth of scrambled...

    Qs re WBC checkin procedures

    I'm also interested in knowing if anyone has tips for getting a good room and skipping the hard sell. Our flight doesn't get in until 6:20pm unfortunately so we are looking at arriving at the resort around 7:45pm (Jan 5th). (1) Any suggestions for a good room that late at night? and (2) Can I...

    Discounts on Disney Gift Cards, all but gone?

    Although I live on the west coast, someone on one of the forums just posted that even non-members could buy discounted Disney GC at BJs online. I tried it about an hour ago and was successful. The benefit comes when you use a Chase Freedom Visa. $100 Disney GC are $94.99 at BJs and you get an...

    Target December 10% Off Gift Card

    Has anyone tried the following: 1) Buy a $94 Target Gift Card (for 10% off so that's $84.60). 2) Go back the next day and buy a Disney GC for $100. Give them the Target Gift Card for $94 and use the Red Card for the last of it. Will using the Red Card invoke 5% off the purchase like it...

    Be Our Guest lunch

    I got my BOG lunch reservation within three days! An 'Ohana one too (restarted that one hoping for a slightly better time but hey, I'll take it). That ReservationFinder tool is AWESOME!!!!!

    Would you be disappointed? (VGC switch)

    I just returned from a 1 BD villa at GCV and the room was amazing. I looked at the floorplan of the 1 BD suite (via Youtube video) and to me, it's not comparable. I maybe would equate a premium hotel room with a GCV studio (I've stayed in both), but I would not equate a 1 BD villa with a 1 BD...

    VWL is now Boulder Ridge

    I just bought BLT so this January will be my first set of dues. Do we actually get an itemized breakdown of how dues are calculated?

    Orbitz/Cheaptickets no longer selling Disney Resorts (with 15-18% stacked discount)?

    Over the past few years, Orbitz and Cheaptickets (same company) have frequently offered promo codes that take an additional 15-18% off hotel rates off non-chain hotels. I've used these several times over the past 2 years to book Disney Resorts (either on DW or DL Resort property)...

    Be Our Guest lunch

    I agree with Narawen. I had a BOG lunch reserved 6 mo in advance then had to change the dates of our visit and now, nothing is available 3 mo out. I've been stalking the Disney Reservations System and a pattern emerged. I would start looking (repeatedly) a few days in advance Specifically about...

    Yes thank you. I hadn't been to that site at all. He's quite funny. :)

    Yeah, nothing about that feels like a 1. It feels tight for a 4.

    Thanks to everyone who posted. We changed our plans and we are going January 5 - 14 now. The two night stay (Jan 2 - 4) at the Poly will be available as a confirmed reservation from the broker here shortly if anyone is interested.

    That's a good point; that may be a big difference.

    Everyone - thank you for the advice. I will look into the scooter. Can they be taken into most lines?

    January 3/4 now predicted to be a 10 at MK (Touring Plans)

    Like many people, I subscribe to Touring Plans and use their crowd calendar for planning purposes. In June 2016, I planned a DW vacation from January 3 - 10, 2017 after seeing the crowds were expected to be moderate at most parks on those dates. We rented DVC points for Poly on January 2, 3 with...
