My husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in April. I'm working hard to get fit and ready to run the Dark Side 5K. I left it up to him as to where to have our anniversary dinner. He chose V&A and since we have time to save for it and it's just the two of us, we are doing it...

I have been a Disney and Mickey Mouse fan my entire life. My parents were never able to take us as kids, basically for financial reasons. My first trip was right after high school graduation with my future husband and his family. What an amazing experience after wanting to go for so long! Then...

We purchased our first resale contract in 2012 and financed through our credit union with a very low rate for a short term. We added on another contract earlier this year the same way. When it's all said and done, all these points (AKV good until 2057) will be paid off in five years total with...

Sorry to throw another kink in your plans but I think you have to use the 4-day tickets within 14 days of it's first use. So you wouldn't be able to use two days this fall and two days next year.

Thanks for this post. It's great to hear how CMs are there looking out for people and animals. When we were at Kidani in December we witnessed the quick response of a lifeguard coming to the rescue of a child. It was a chilly evening and the lifeguard even had on a jacket, but in an instant he...

We had our first stay at BLT a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it! We stayed in a one bedroom lake view. The even number rooms are on the front side of the resort and the odd numbered rooms are on the lake side. IMO the higher the floor the better the view here. We asked for a room on a high...

We have an existing AKV contract and are in the process of adding on. We chose to add-on at AKV instead of another resort. It really depends on what you're looking to do and when. Some people get different resorts to use for specific reasons, like having the 11 month advantage for Food & Wine or...

No judging - we just did a resale add-on of a stripped contract for the same reasons. We just did a big trip and are returning in July so we did not need current points or the expense of current dues. The UY and the timing were right for us. So congrats and good luck on your contract!

Our add-on info: forloveofdisney--$72-$9,070-120-AKV-Jun-0/'14, 120/'15-sent 1/25, passed 2/27 I was looking for a little better deal, especially since it is a stripped contract, but this is the right amount of points and the right use year so I didn't want to lose it over a few dollars a...

I grew up a huge Mickey Mouse fan but didn't make it to Disney World until I was 19. Then 13 years later we returned with our three kids for the first of many magical vacations. After returning every third year and considering DVC every time, we decided in 2012 that it was time to buy before...

Our group of 7 used them without any issue at all and went to both parks on the same day. We were also not affiliated with any sports group while we were there. My daughter does play softball in USSSA events which is why we purchased the tickets, but we were not on a USSSA trip at the time. The...

This happened to us in December. I made an adjustment and ended up with 4 FP+ selections for the day. When we went to the one that was "extra" we were told that it was not in their system. They even told us when our next one was. I showed them that it was on MDE on my phone and they allowed us...

We returned home from Disney on the 18th so we had a lot of Disney gifts this year. (Which is super exciting for me!) I got a lined hoodie, fleece blanket, mug, cup, some kitchen accessories, a charm for my bracelet, and an Alex & Ani bracelet. I got my husband a tee and some boxers, my daughter...

I pm'd someone but thought I would post it here…. We were to arrive yesterday and had a Kidani tree until our checkout on the 15th. Unfortunately, my husband's grandfather passed away the day before our arrival. We were able to rework our reservations to come after the services. We will not be...

I spent about 10 years working my way up to managing a department in our county. After our third was born it became increasingly more difficult to get things done, and get them done well, both at home and at work. Due to the nature of my job (24-7 emergency public safety communications) there...

BG is very nice but since you have done that recently, I would opt for KD. I grew up going to KD and have never thought of it as gross. (I'm pretty picky). We got season passes two years ago and enjoyed it very much. The coasters are great! It can be crowded so we went during the week. The water...

Count me in as a parent of the Class of 2014. My DD is my oldest so all of this is new to me. She is just starting to think about her career path and is leaning toward something in the medical field. She has gone to a couple of career fairs and college fairs but does not have a definite plan...

We have one dog, a blue merle sheltie named Gracie, and two house cats from an 'accidental' litter. They are sisters, Kali (yes she is a calico and yes the spelling is from the ride!) and Waffle (my son named her, she was his birthday present and we couldn't break up the family).

I am a 9-1-1 dispatcher and I hear that all the time, especially from the emergency personnel we send on calls. It's definitely not a job for just anyone and only about half of the people we hire actually make it through training. We're faceless and it's often thankless work but we are the kind...
