    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I tried this at Giant in Maryland. I used my bonus card and bought a $100 Disney gift card with $29 of groceries and it took the $15 off. Great find! Thank you

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    Thank you Disny_luvr - that was a super helpful thread. Me and my adult kids will be there 4/21 - 24. Looking forward to it no matter the room, but a renovated one would be a bonus. This will be a first for us staying in a via rather than 2 separate rooms.

    We are staying in Beach Club Villa (not as DVC but direct booking through Disney). Anyone recently stayed in the Villas have comments on the refurbishment disruption? Hoping for an upgraded room with the Murphy Bed but will be disappointed if the construction is disturbing.

    Sharing Tables at Counter Service Restaurants

    This happened to us one time. They did ask, although they asked for the chairs and we thought they were taking them to another table. The proceeded to sit down and then started talking politics even though it was clear we were not interested. It was really awful and took awhile after we left...

    Old unused park tickets

    You can email a picture of the front and back to ticket.usage@disneyworld.com They responded back with the value of my ticket. I ended up having to call to link them to my account as the codes didn't match anything in the option on my account. My tickets were from from 2005.

    BCV 2 bedroom 2 queens?

    I booked a 2 bedroom BCV in April for my 2 adult kids, their spouses and me through Disney directly. We have never stayed in a Disney Villa before. When I booked it, it showed 2 queen beds in one bedroom but I have seen some people indicate it could be 1 queen bed and a pull out couch in one...

    this is such a sad sick world

    This! This is what brings much of the context. Imagine if during the Civil Rights Movement a statue of a confederate general was put in place, maybe even right in front of the court house. These statues cause pain because, in many instances, they were placed there by segregationists to remind...

    AKL - King bed?

    I have a double queen room booked? I could move to Kidani where there is a king bed for almost the same price. I haven't stayed there so don't know how it compares.

    AKL - King bed?

    I have a room booked at AKL (Savannah view) but it is two queen beds. This is my partner's first trip to Disney and I want him to love it. I was hoping for a King bed, but haven't seen any availability and when I called Disney they said there were no king beds - but there are pictures of rooms...

    Car Insurance Adjusters & Payout

    I was in a similar situation. Hit from behind while stopped for a school bus. Pushed me into the person in front of me. My 2 month old car was totaled. First offer was very low. They explained they use a company to come up with the price. I advised it would help me to accept the low offer...

    That would have been so hard, but I agree that you have to respect and support their decisions. I can so related to watching from afar. Wise to exchange numbers with the neighbors. Thanks for the hugs. He is a bit of an introvert and has 1 group of friends he sees occasionally but...

    VisitingAngels or similar elder support?

    My father is 83 and lives 1100 miles from me. my siblings and I try to get down to see him every few months, taking turns. He refuses to move to be closer to any of us and where he lives wouldn't work for any of our jobs. I would like to work with an organization to have someone stop in at...

    Middle Class Priced Out???

    Yes - I think about how many people I know have not been to Disney because they can't afford to go. My DS and soon to be DIL live in FL. I visited them for a special occasion and we went for 1 day - found a deal for them but it was almost 200 for me. For the past years I would have an annual...
