    Upgrading Airmiles park ticket

    Has anyone used Airmiles recently to buy Disney tickets and been able to upgrade them before entering the park? I have enough airmiles to buy an adult 4 day ticket but need to upgrade to an 8 day ticket with park hopper.

    Break even point VGF and RIV

    Thank you! I will take a look. Thanks! I am concerned that if at some point we had to sell that restrictions would be an issue. We tend to do 1 bedrooms. We prefer having the washer/dryer and full kitchen. Thank you! Thank you! We tend to stay in 1 bedrooms. Prefer the washer/dryer and...

    Break even point VGF and RIV

    We are currently thinking of purchasing points direct with DVC. We want to be able to stay at Riviera and also other resorts so resale is not an option for us. Which resort would you choose? VGF or RIV? We like both. Thinking VGF may be the better choice long term if we ever have to sell. Also...

    Treats & Seats dessert party

    We have the dessert party - treats & seats booked. Fireworks are at 8:30, so I assume the party begins at 7:30. How far in advance should we check in for the party?

    Boulder Ridge or Riviera

    We ended up switching to Riviera and were really happy we did. We loved the resort, the only down side was the Skyliner closing frequently due to lightning. Due to the lightning, I don't think we would stay there again in August/September.

    Boulder Ridge or Riviera

    We stayed at Boulder Ridge 4 years ago and loved it but they are definitely outdated now and well past their refurb date. Riviera seems so inviting. I was going with the same thought as you and we would just deal with the room to be at Wilderness Lodge, but something keeps nagging at me that...

    Boulder Ridge or Riviera

    Currently we (2 adults and a 6 year old) are booked to stay at Boulder Ridge in a 1 bedroom in August. We've stayed here before and loved it and really enjoyed the boat to Magic Kingdom. But since booking I have been concerned with the fact that the villas are in need of a refurb and don't want...

    We always use Dizzy Dolphin Delivery. Have had great service every time. They always separate the groceries appropriately.

    Park tickets using Airmiles

    We are going in August. Good point about using airmiles. Think I may just splurge and then won't have to worry about it.

    That's good to hear! I keep hearing how difficult redtag has been so hoping I don't have any issues.

    Park tickets using Airmiles

    I have enough airmiles saved to purchase 9 day park hopper tickets for our upcoming trip. I also have enough to buy them with Genie +. Is it worth the extra airmiles for Genie +? Or is it better off paying as you go for Genie +? Also if I purchase base tickets instead, can park hopper be...

    Boardwalk Villa vs Boulder Ridge Villa

    With Disney dropping discounts today, we are able to now change our August 10 Night 1 bedroom villa resort reservation from Old Key West to either Boardwalk villas or Boulder Ridge villas. The question, which one should we choose? We have stayed at both and love both for very different...

    I'm looking to purchase our 10 day park hopper tickets with Airmiles for our trip next year and want to make our park reservations. Does anyone know ff we end up not taking our trip how long are the tickets valid for? Will we be able to use them on another trip? Lastly, can they also be used to...

    POFQ&AKL or Swan Reserve

    If you had to choose which one would you do? There will be 3 of us (2 Adults & 1 Kid) and I will also have an ECV. For the first week of the trip my husband will probably have to stay behind in the hotel room to work, so it will just be me and the kiddo out and about in the day. Option 1) 10...

    Help I'm at a loss how to plan a trip with a baby

    At this age flexibility and following their lead is the best way to go. We've taken our kid a bout 6 times since he was 8 months old. It really depends on the kid. For us, we kept to his schedule as much as possible because if we didn't he would be a disaster. Essentially overtired and...

    PC OPTIMUM, Lets share deals, offers, info

    Is the PC insiders subscription worthwhile subscribing to? Do they usually offer any promotions on sign up? I am on the fence about it, but Sobeys and Airmiles don't seem to be working well for me anymore. I usually do most of my shopping at Fortinos or Superstore.

    BCV/AKV or OKW

    We will definitely rent a car if we stay at AKV or OKW, but would probably take the buses to the park. Yes the hallways are long, lol! Thankfully my husband likes to walk and I just drive behind. Good point about the elevators, thanks! I love that we don't have to take a bus to Epcot and...

    BCV/AKV or OKW

    We are looking at renting DVC points and booking our next trip and just wanted to get opinions on our options. We have narrowed down our choices to Beach club villas, Animal Kingdom Villas or Old Key West. It will be 2 adults and our 4 year old, and I will have an ECV. Last year we stayed at...

    Shop the Block 2019 -Bonus miles are POSTING NOW!

    I'm not sure how many I will get this time, I am really unenthused with the offers. With the higher spend amounts required now compared to miles received and that I will have to purchase from stores I don't normally shop at has me thinking is it really worth it. Airmiles has me starting to pay...
