    Disney Wish November 27 - December 1, 2023

    Didn't see a post for this cruise. It's a little late to start, but what the heck. I expect they will be running Wish as one of the main theater shows. Was on board in September during the DVC cruise, so none of the normal Buena Vista Theater shows ran. They were running Indiana Jones...

    DVC Resort Parking Question

    You can't say that without experiencing my luck first hand... It's amazing how quickly things go from problem > crisis > ***? I do appreciate the help though. And will probably go in this direction... Luckily one of the resorts involved is OKW. So I expect they will be a little less stringent...

    DVC Resort Parking Question

    This did cross my mind... But knowing my luck, the band would have an issue at the automatic gate and the guard would have to scan it. Then notice that I am not the person whom the band belongs to. Then the police are called... Yes, I am a little bit paranoid... but my luck would be that the...

    DVC Resort Parking Question

    ...and it doesn't have to do with the parking fees! We are travelling to Disney over the holidays with another family. Each of us are DVC members, but we are staying at two different resorts. We are going to be spending a lot of time going back and forth between the two locations... Is there...

    International Gateway Entrance for Early Breakfast??

    Be aware that you can only go one direction around the lake, you can't pass France on that side or Norway on the other side. It won't impact you for that reservation. If you have early morning Akershus, then you have to take the long walk around the lake into consideration.

    Are the Polynesian Villas really that noisy?

    We stayed at the Poly in a Lake View this past May, second floor, Moorea Longhouse, close to the far end (which is closest to the ferry pier). Would never stay there in a Lake View again. The ferry horns started by 5AM every morning and would go past midnight on most nights. It was loud enough...

    Free arcades after midnight???

    My guess is only based on past experience... A friend's parents use to have a couple of cabinets that would boot up with three free credits on it. So we would play the 3 credits, then unplug and replug the machines to reset them. Which I can't imagine was good for them... I also can't imagine...

    Free arcades after midnight???

    Almost sounds like a breaker was being reset. Some older cabinet games use to power up with one credit available so that they could be tested... What you are describing sounds like something like that...

    BW villas room request

    BWV is one of our homes and I think I am going to have a bit of a dissenting opinion. Based on what you are looking for, I would go for a Standard View instead of the Pool/Garden view. The best way to illustrate my logic is by looking at this map: https://goo.gl/maps/GS3P4mPe78x The left hand...

    Red Tide at Disney's Vero Beach?

    This is why I thought it you'd be okay. I was hoping that the link I provided would give reassurance, not the opposite. :(

    Red Tide at Disney's Vero Beach?

    I don't think you will have an issue. According to the official report, there is no sign of it near Vero Beach. http://myfwc.com/redtidestatus

    Parking at DVC - Broadwalk

    Not really sure how they would police / enforce something like that. Sounds like it would just create more delays and headaches just trying to get into the parking lot. That being said, we really didn't have much trouble finding a spot. When we arrived, we dropped the bags off, which was well...

    Parking at DVC - Broadwalk

    I don't think you will have an issue. If you tell the front desk that your friend is checking in a few days later, she should be able to just say that she is checking in when she gets to the parking gate.

    Parking at DVC - Broadwalk

    Just back from Boardwalk. Parking was strict, but not overly so. Band was checked every time we arrived. If she has a band and is on the reservation, then you should have no issues. Parking was semi-sparse though, particularly later in the evening and on the weekends. Only one parking lot is...

    OKW for spa appointment at Dolphin

    Ah, nice, good. We were there about two weeks ago and the front of HS was complete chaos. Buses were stopping in an alternate location, parking tram had to park further away than the parking lot, the ferry wasn't running... Wasn't planning on going back until things calmed down a bit.

    OKW for spa appointment at Dolphin

    That's pretty early in the morning, so your options are going to be fairly limited. I would say to use this: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/minnie-van-service/ There is also OKW Bus > Hollywood Studios > Walk to Dolphin... but this has issues. It depends on when HS opens that...

    Question About DVC Parking

    They don't give parking passes anymore. At least they haven't handed out paper ones in at least a year. My concern was that if they answer "Yes." to the 'do you have a car?' question, the check in clerk will add the line item to their bill. Likewise if they drive up to the security post and...

    OKW not starting off well

    Welcome! I am glad it helped... I never checked before our last two visits and had issues with notification, credit card, and arrival time. I think it was related to not double checking these details and just assuming it was correct.

    Question About DVC Parking

    It might be a good idea for the people in the hotel room to say "No." if they are asked if they have a car during check in. If they say yes, then I imagine the charge would be added to their bill. Both cars should be attached to the DVC check in. You might need to be careful about whose Magic...

    Stage two of the gondola system will go from animal kingdom Kidani to Saratoga Springs

    Admittedly I haven't listened to the podcast, but this seems incredibly unlikely. The current plan has 1.5 to 2 miles of distance. Just joining AK / Kidani to this would be an additional 3 miles... Then another 1.5 miles to add Saratoga to it and that is assuming it would have a direct route...
