    We are not doing Candlelight Processional - are we missing out?

    Personally I wouldn't miss the CP for anything! I agree with a PP who said it is one of the best things they do at WDW. We are there for Thanksgiving this year and can't wait to get our dining package booked!!!

    WDW Magic Kingdom doesnt feel magical

    I find this discussion very interesting. I've never personally been to DL, my 12th trip to WDW is next week. But my partner went to DL for the first time last October and thought it paled in comparison to MK. Said it was small, stuff was stuck everywhere and didn't seem to make sense and the...

    Model units

    The DVC sales center is located at SSR (Saratoga Springs Resort) and that's where the model rooms are. I've heard though that if you ask nicely at the front desk of any resort and a room is empty they'll let you take a peek.

    waterproof cameras

    We use the Fuji XP as well and really like it. It's been on a cruise to the caribbean, played around in the pool at Disney World and at our local pool/waterpark. Great pics all the time!

    The moment you were "hooked"??

    I think getting hooked kinda snuck up on me. I had visited when I was really young with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. But my first 'real' visit was with my partner several years ago and we stayed off site at a Best Western because we were doing the trip as cheaply as possible. Later that year...

    Best time to visit World Showcase

    We end up spending several evenings in WS every trip. Great place to have a drink and just wander and people watch.

    Fantasmic or Hoop Dee Doo

    I'd choose HDDR over Fantasmic any day, no question. Of course we happen to ABSOLUTELY LOVE Hoop de Doo and Fantasmic does just about nothing for us, so that might make me a bit biased.

    What exactly is TIW ?

    This comment always cracks me up. I had no idea that there were so many people out there who apparently don't feel the need tip servers. No wonder service is terrible in some places!

    No kids, new to Disney. Only doing 1 sit down restaurant, what's your favorite?

    I'd definitely agree with Via Napoli in Italy at Epcot. One of our favorites and a must do on just about every trip! I also agree that I wouldn't skip Magic Kingdom on your first trip. We don't have kids either and we go anywhere from 1 to 3 times a year and we love all the parks, but MK has...

    Knew I forgot something! $77 per point.

    Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section V

    Just got word that we passed ROFR! 120 BCV points, April UY. 106 2013 points and all going forward. We paid MF on the 106 plus half closing and seller paid other half. Submitted to Disney on 5/22, waived on 6/17, so 26 days. Timeline; 4/23 - I spot a BCV contract that looks good on...

    First stay and docs

    Did you book Magical Express for transport from/to the airport? If so you should have gotten your booklet and luggage tags by now. Our trip starts July 19 and we got ours this week.

    short bakery update

    Funny....we like the ones at Gastons with the maple icing WAY more than the ones they had an the bakery! I've been hoping they use the same ones there when it reopens....

    DVC POLY future owners thread

    We'd most likely jump on Poly if it ever happens. We've got one 'large' resort, SSR; in ROFR on one 'Epcot' resort, BCV; and we figure an 'MK' resort would nicely round out our portfolio! More interest in Poly than BLT or VGF so we will wait patiently.....

    Is a Savannah View room worth it at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge- Kidani Village?

    We did a Savannah view for the first time in December. We really enjoyed it but since it was only a 4 night trip we didn't spend much time in the room so not sure it was worth it. We've basically decided that in the future we'll consider the view for 7 or more nights so we can actually have...

    Garden grill

    We really enjoy it! To me it seemed like some of the freshest food we've had at WDW. And the character interaction there is great.

    Best Quick Service at Magic Kingdom

    Our favorite is Columbia Harbor House, visit it every time we're there. Also like Cosmic Rays, food is pretty good and portions are huge so you can share if not overly hungry. Be Our Guest is great too, but having waiting in that line once we'll probably skip it until the newness wears off.

    Villa availability

    To get a treehouse you'd most likely have to do a points rental through a member that owns at Saratoga Springs. They book up fast and I don't think they ever become available through Disney central reservations.
