We were recently in St. Marteen (Jan 2024). We were going to go to Maho, but decided against as our ship did not port till about 1pm. Later in the day it can take 1-2 hours to get back to the cruise terminal due to traffic. What we did instead was quite enjoyable and very easy. When you...

EV owner here. I would not hesitate to rent a Tesla in Orlando. That being said, if they try to give you anything besides a Tesla, say no, nope, no way. There is a supercharger about 8 miles from the airport. Leave yourself about 20 minutes to charge before you return the car. Always use...

Surge pricing can vary widely based on time. If you don't like the price, wait a few minutes and retry. I have seen pricing go from $125 to $25 in ten minutes. I have also seen it go the opposite direction. Disney is bad but Vegas is the worst, when one of those stadiums let out, forget it.

They always used to say that if you that if you were going to rent for 4 or 5 days you should get the weekly rate as it would be less expensive. Not true at MCO I guess.

So we have a 4 day trip planned for Oct 2023. I got a reservation from Costco like always. Budget intermediate for $204. So we thought maybe we will add a day on. I check the price for 5 days and it is $448. I figure that it must be the days of the week and we don't care about what days we...

There are no slow times anymore. It is always busy. You will still have fun. It will be really hot and humid. You really should go to AK. Pandora is truly spectacular, especially at night. Even if you don't want to go on Flight of Passage the land is great to look at.

We had the tap system go down before when all we had was the Magic Bands. They just gave us all the food for free. I can say that free Disney food tastes better than the stuff you pay for. :)

I don't think they are doing anywhere close to their best. For 2022 $1.81 per point at BWV's went to housekeeping. That means that my 1 week stay in June at BWV in a 1BR Boardwalk View at 234 points cost me $423.54 in housekeeping. For that I get my room cleaned for check-in, some squirt...

When they open this for purchase will all use years be available? Say I want a Feb UY will that be Feb 2023 points or Feb 2024 points? (Assuming you bought immediately upon the sales opening up)

My understanding talking to higher level IT at Disney is that they are running a "fancy" front end on an ancient reservation system. I'm having lots of problems this morning. Will not let me modify a reservation. I was able to at least get the reservation to the modify screen then would get...

People need to realize that a corporations job is not to take care of the customers, it's job is to make money for their shareholders. If they have to take care of their customers to do that, they will. If their customers allow them to save money by providing less for more, they have a duty to...

So paid Genie+ made your trip, but it has to go. Universal's system is very expensive and is also very limited. There are many times you cannot buy it because they keep availability limited to keep the paid experience good to great. Prices at busy times can top $200 per person per day...

We also bought at Aulani because it was less expensive than paying cash. We bought resale about 3 years before our trip, which was this last June. We will probably be selling that contract now, at a nice profit, to buy some points at the new California DVC. I can tell you from personal...

Well that would leave a huge amount of money on the table. Disney makes a fortune selling the park hopper option. There has been a reservation system as long as there has been a way to make fast passes online. You had to make your 3 fast passes at the same park and that was basically your...

Seriously DVC, charge me an extra $.03/per point and get a system that works. I take that back, charge me an extra $.06 per point and get a system that works and a backup system for when that one fails.

I never understood Disney's decision on the internet. They usually pride themselves on providing a step up from other competitors. The internet on the ships is truly bad and it is beyond expensive. Royal Caribbean has internet for about $14 per device per day if you buy a 3 pack. It is fast...

I have read that Cancun airport has Covid tests for $13. MCO has covid tests for upwards of $250.

This is good to know and I will be calling my cruise insurance company to find out about what the do and do not cover with a positive Covid test on , before, or upon debarkation of the cruise. That's it and I'm sure you saw that DCL told a person that called that it would be determined on a...

I also think that the adults need to have a test 48 hours or less before arriving at the port. Starting Sept 13.

At the bottom of the Know before you go page on the DCL website it reads: IMPORTANT In order to sail, Guests 12 years of age and older must be vaccinated and upload their proof of vaccination to the Safe Passage website by Inspire Diagnostics. Guests 11 years of age and under must upload proof...
