    Rookie DVC Banking Question

    Appreciate the quick response - for some reason from the sales process or something I thought we had to bank all at once in a given year.

    Rookie DVC Banking Question

    In 2022, I convinced my wife to buy DVC with the promise that we would take her extended family in 2024 (with a March use year)... time has come to pay off that promise. We have a 250 point contract with 115 points from this year that I need to bank. The question is: can I bank the 115 now and...

    UY, Personal Financing, Engaging a Sales Person, First Point Date?

    For me, I want to be walkable to a park and not have to rely on the Skyliner. We just stayed at CBR for the W&D Half and it felt like Riviera sometimes had trouble with riders coming from CBR going to Epcot (or in reverse). I have been kind of slow rolling to see what the price and expiration...

    UY, Personal Financing, Engaging a Sales Person, First Point Date?

    Thanks for the feedback so far. It is the one UY consideration we've debated - in Texas spring break has always been March as long as I can remember so we wouldn't really have the opportunity to travel in February so we have debated March or April*. I like late May because our schools are...

    UY, Personal Financing, Engaging a Sales Person, First Point Date?

    Good Morning! Long time reader, first time poster on the DVC side. I've read through the stickies and we have stayed at a couple of DVC renting points and loved them. We're looking to take advantage of the BLT discount and I have several questions: We typically travel in mid-late May so I'm...

    First round of shirts are done! Had to wait to fire up the heat press after the kids went to bed so it's going to be 1 set per night

    Discovering the Magic (3 Year Old DS First Trip!) Pre-Trip Report

    Good Day everyone! I've been a long time consumer of this group but seldom a poster. I wanted to put out a pre-trip report this time because I've never traveled to WDW with a child and want to get feedback on the plan overall. A little background on me, I'm a software consultant and travel...

    To those who take shorter trips...

    My wife and I just got back from a 2.5 day trip last weekend. We flew in Thursday night, spent the night at Disney Springs, and then took our bags to Beach Club first thing Friday. Made EMH rope drop at MK, immediately went to Pan, and then rode most of the rides in the park. We had FP+ for...

    Is This Doable/Worth It?

    Thanks for the help. This is kind of what I was leaning toward. As much as I'd like to it seems like travel would take longer than enjoyment.

    Is This Doable/Worth It?

    We're taking a quick trip to Europe starting August 30 and will be in Paris for 2 nights September 6 and September 7. Originally we ruled out DLP but now my wife brought up trying to go. We're taking a sleeper train to Paris on the night of the 5th and get to Paris EST at 9:24 AM. We're...

    Would love some feedback on using disney giftcards to pay off a trip!

    For our last trip we had a lot of gift cards and we pre payed some and then kept what we estimated we would need for expenses in the parks. This helped me because I'm really cheap and we felt like we "needed" to use the gift cards and splurged on quite a few items that we wouldn't have paid...

    PPH Hotel Only Reservation

    Thanks for the replies. The CM said because I made it online they couldn't pull it up but oh well, I guess we're done for the next month either way. We're driving and I'm prepared for the parking charges.

    Honeymoon Dining Suggestions

    This helps a ton, Searsuckers looks cool and the grill your own steak might be interesting... I ran it past my fiance and she seemed up for it. We like a good Gastropub (being in the middle of no where we don't have any good ones) so we'll have to check that out. Thanks!

    Honeymoon Dining Suggestions

    I must be going crazy, I thought I read somewhere it would be down but now I don't see it. Wish they officially put up refurbs further out. Guess Blue Bayou is back in as a possibility. What else is good?

    Honeymoon Dining Suggestions

    Any good food really, we just like a good atmosphere and good food (good drinks are always nice too). I'm allergic to shellfish but DW has always been great about that and I'm sure DL has the same policies. Our favorite WDW restaurant is Via Napoli but we really liked Ohana, 50's PT, and...
