    Where do you like to "kick off your trip"??

    We are doing T-Rex on arrival night in January. We are staying OKW so I like to only have to get on the boat the first night to go to DTD. It wasn't even on our radar until dh and I stopped in for a peek last trip and fell in love. So arrival night it is!

    What Dining Experience is Disney Missing

    Love the MU and/or Toy Story ideas. That is great for families like us who have both boys and girls-those movies appeal to all. Before I type this, please put the tomatoes down! I wish they could find a spot for Tink in a character meal. Sure there is plenty of princess dining, I'm not denying...

    It will show unavailable until the packages are released on the 10th. I don't believe there is anything of note going on then.

    renting DVC points

    We just rented a 2BV at OKW. Rack rate for 2014 would have ran us $5700 for a week. Renting will cost us $2300. I don't see Disney offering a discount that good. Not only that but I would have to wait until mid fall to even know the discounts that will be offered. No thanks. I happily booked at...

    Target 5% back--does it work with Disney gift cards?

    Question...I noticed Disney gift cards at my Lowes the other day. I know they offer a %off when you use your Lowes card. Just wondering if anyone has done it there. We don't have target here but I would happily do it at Lowes and then get online and pay my Lowes card. Seems too easy to save...

    Calling T-rex directly to get better reservation time?

    Good to know! I think this is going to be arrival night dinner, which is a Saturday. I couldn't imagine this place booking out at 180, I would have panicked if not for this good piece of info!

    50's PT AND Sci-fi?

    I've been debating these 2 myself, but not for me. Of all the restaurants in wdw my mom picks these 2. They are coming for 3 days, with just one at HS. So I'm looking at 50's for lunch and sci fi for dinner, or vice versa. I was wondering if it was a little much myself. Glad to hear most find...

    January 2014 discount watch!!

    Yes, if you book now and a deal comes out later all you have to do is call and Disney will either 1) reduce your balance, if you have not paid in full or 2) refund you the difference if you have paid in full already. As long as you meet the restrictions of the discount. For instance if free...

    How many of you have gone to Disney without your kids?

    I forgot to add....I felt bad leaving the kids home and I was worried they would be sad we went w/o them but they weren't bad. I did 'stage' a gift box for them. While the kids think we bought stuff there and overnighted it home, I actually bought some disney stuff before we went and then boxed...

    How many of you have gone to Disney without your kids?

    Dh and I just went for the first time last month. We were celebrating our 10th anniv. We were planning a family trip for 2014 so we decided to go and resort hop and scope out transportation, etc...We had a blast. We rarely go away together and have 3 kids so time alone is rare. We only went for...

    ~~**The Official January 2014 Group**~~

    Hey everyone! I'm not sure how I missed this thread but we have been planning our Jan trip for about a year now. We are staying the 11-18 at OKW in a 2BV. Dh was planning on running the half but he wouldn't decide for sure and by the time he did it was full. I got my room booked last week (dvc)...

    Help Value or Moderate for 2 nights.

    Dh and I just stayed at POFQ for our anniversary last month. It is gorgeous there and so relaxing! Riverside looked wonderful too. While I haven't stayed at Pop, I would splurge and go mod and choose one that's quiet. Good luck choosing!

    *sigh* changed from BC to ASMU

    Can you swing a mod? We loved POFQ! It would only be one step down (or up, depending on which way you look at it) instead of 2. You would still feel like its an upgrade but not quite so much money. Both Port Orleans grounds are beautiful. There are several other mods too but I can't speak for...

    Need Stellar advice from you guys!!

    Also have you considered not doing the dining plan but bumping to a one bed villa for the full kitchen? That way you could fix some quick breakfasts or lunches in the room. The dining plan would cost my family of 5 over $1300. When I add up the couple of QS we are planning and our 5 characters...

    Need Stellar advice from you guys!!

    I was in your exact same position. We are going Jan 11-18th. Your first weekend there is indeed Marathon, runs are thurs-sun. The checkout weekend is MLK. I fretted for months about what to do. I did A LOT of research before finally deciding. I looked at some historical discounts. Last year...

    Hello everyone! I am new-ish to the Dis and new to here. I lurked the Dis for months before joining (you don't have much to contribute when you are there to learn!). Once I felt schooled I joined in. I have been lurking your thread for awhile (which sounds so stalker-ish ;-)) and I am amazed and...
