Thanks, everyone! I did get it figured out. I was indeed making the mistake of opting to pay the full contract. I thought I could do that, pay with a gift card, then switch to credit for the remaining balance. I didn’t think to enter a separate amount for the gift my card, but once I did it...

Thanks for the reply! I have just one contract, so I select the contract, then pay full amount, and it’s getting declined. I was worried I goofed by purchasing disney gift cards at giant eagle, but as long as they’re official Disney cards they’re ok?

I wanted to try paying dues with gift cards this year to get gas perks/money back, so I spent a while researching it first. I was so worried I’d make a mistake and get stuck with $1000 in cards that I can’t pay dues with! Well for 2 hours I’ve been trying to pay my $1088 with gift cards, and the...

Hello! I'll be attending Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on the 17th and can't get into any of the restaurants open during it. I figured if we could go to either Mizner Lounge or California Grill's lounge before we can get a good bite to eat. I just wanted to make sure California Grill...

Thank you, everyone, for sharing your experiences with The BWV. I wouldn't have minded using more points on a preferred view room but really didn't think it would be necessary. In the past I have gotten rooms at other resorts waitlisted at the 7 month period for early December, so I really...

Well that's the unfortunate thing. We bought at the Boardwalk so that we would be able to book at 11 months out. I did go on to book it AS SOON as I was able to, and it was already taken. I didn't bother to waitlist any other resorts at 7 months out because I never thought it wouldn't come through.

Hello, everyone! It's been quite a while since I was active here, and I'm enjoying catching up on posts. The reason I'm here again is because I'm trying to figure out whether I should book flights for my waitlisted trip. The VERY first day of my 11 month window I went to book a Boardwalk...

I have stayed at both and go back and forth as to which is my favorite. I LOVE the tropics so I really love walking the grounds of the Polynesian. I think the Polynesian also has better counter service options for a quick meal. The rooms are also larger there. The Beach Club just has a great...

All of the deluxe resorts that I've been to so far are decorated. This includes the Yacht & Beach Club, Boardwalk, and Polynesian. I haven't been to the Wilderness Lodge though so I'm not sure if it's decorated yet.

Aren't decorations at the deluxe resorts usually up by the weekend before thanksgiving? I have friends going this weekend, and they were expecting to see the hotels decked out!

I'd like to try to eat at the HBD when I visit Hollywood Studios in December. I don't want to make reservations though because I don't know if I'll have enough time there to eat. If the park closes at 8, when do they stop taking walk-ups?

Thank you! I was hoping that since it was already activated on my last trip I would just link to my new band. I am staying on site (OKW) and will ask when I check in to be safe.

I am an AP holder and am headed to WDW tomorrow. I just realized I misplaced my AP card. Do I have to pay a fee for a new one? I read somewhere you have to pay $20 which I think is crazy. Or can they simply link my magic band to my MDE account, which has my AP on it? I did not receive my...

This has gotten to be such a MESS. I called Disney to discuss my concerns, and they said that since I booked my room through Orbitz they were unable to assist me. They then blamed Orbitz and said they should've notified me of the construction. Well, I called Orbitz, and they said that they...

Thanks everyone for your input! Peoplemover, I so badly wanted to stay at the Polynesian but just might try what you suggested. I keep going back and forth and told myself I will have to decide by tomorrow morning! I'm sure the pool area will still be enjoyable though and if I weren't...

I honestly didn't see the big deal people were making about the construction because I thought it would be isolated spots. However, while I won't be spending time sitting in the lobby, I would like to eat at Kona Café or Tambu Lounge, etc., without staring at walls. I guess when I heard the...

I had a Yacht Club reservation for next weekend and after MUCH thought changed it to the Poly as I've always wanted to stay there and got a somewhat better rate than usual. But BOY am I regretting that now. Just viewed Tikiman's facebook page, and there are walls around the waterfall in the...

I will be visiting Epcot on Sunday, May 18th with a friend. I currently have an ADR for La Hacienda but would really like to try Tutto Gusto instead. Does anyone know what the wait times are like there? I don't mind waiting 20 minutes or so but don't want to waste 40+ minutes. Any help...

I am hoping people are just making a big deal out of the construction...it really doesn't seem that bad during the month of May. I just don't want a longhouse in the middle of paths that have been torn up and jack hammers going all day long!

I'll be staying at the Poly in mid May and am trying to decide what longhouse to request. I have a garden view room and normally would prefer to be close to the TTC, but I assume that area will be pretty affected by construction. Aside from that area I would normally request Fiji or Samoa but...
