    Compression socks in the parks

    I have not worn my Bombas (love them for the arch support too) to WDW, but I did wear them all over Tokyo to include Tokto Disneyland in June, then around Hiroshima in Sept. Both trips were blazing hot, but I (and my feet) did not regret my Bombas in the slightest! They also worked out well in...

    How long before you borrowed points?

    We bought in 2018 with the idea of an evey other year trip. We banked and borrowed for a big celebration trip (2 HS graduations, 1 college graduation and 25th wedding anniversary) in Jun 2020 which obviously did not happen. Since then we have been in bank/use or lose AND we added on a 2nd...

    Remy Previews

    Note: all times Central Our trip is Sep 18-25. I got the email in my inbox at 7:39am. I did not see it until my lunch break at 11:35. By 11:40, I had secured a reservation for the 20th in the 2-3 window, and had reached out to a friend who will be there the same time we are to tell her...

    Knee brace in the summer

    KT Tape! I used to wear a knee brace all the time (3 surgeries on 1 knee). I started using KT Tape for my dancer who needed support but did not want a brace showing. Our next trip to WDW, I taped up my knee (very easy to follow videos; just google KT Tape full knee support) and stuck my brace...

    Do you have a "WE HAVE ARRIVED" restaurant?

    It was Chef Mickey's, but as our daughters have gotten older (now 22 and 19), we have trended towards Disney Springs for that first night dinner. If (or when) we have grandkids in the mix, we will go back to CM. Nothing like taking the pressure off meeting the big 5!

    For People Staying on Property, With Limited Park Hours What Are You Doing at Night?

    We are heading down in Dec, and I figured it would be the most restful WDW vacation we have ever had. Staying at Saratoga Springs, so the walk to DS is always a possibility.

    Resale Member ID Card Question

    Try marking the picture as a favorite. It then is available in your favorites album which (at least for me) is much smaller than your camera roll! That's what I do.

    Cancelled May & June DVC stays

    I had all my dining and FP plans canceled by Disney from Jun 2-6 (trip was supposed to be Jun 2-9). Dining and FP still intact for Jun 7-8, but I know the trip is a done deal. I chatted with Member Services today (we had the dining plan as well) to see what to expect. I was told I can expect...

    Epcot Wine Walk

    We have done it. The pours tend to be the sweeter wines which we do not care for overall. But I agree with the convenience thing!

    Will this get me through the "no bag" line at security?

    I used this: https://flipbelt.com/flipbelt in Oct. It was under my shirt and had a few essentials (money, gift cards, etc). Then I had my phone in my pocket. No issues. Went thru the bagless line every time.

    25th Anniversary and two HS Grads!! Ideas of unique things to do ?

    I don't have anything to suggest, but we are on the same celebration circuit! Celebrating our oldest's college graduation (Apr 2020), our youngest's HS graduation (May 2020), her BFF's HS graduation (has been a bonus kid since 6th grade) and our 25th wedding anniversary (Mar 2020) in our June...

    Will I have difficulty getting 2 Poly standard studios at 7 months?

    I did that for the first week of June. I had a 2-br booked at Copper Creek at 11 months. Then changed it to 2 standard view studios at Poly right at the 7-month mark. I called Member Services to make the reservation changes rather than trying to do it on-line.

    Morimoto Asia Restaurant Buy-Out: Oct 3

    I got a call about 6pm Central that someone had bought out the restaurant for the evening. They were able to move my reservation to a different evening (I essentially ended up swapping 2 reservations). I booked that particular reservation thru open table (way better availability) not Disney...

    •The Official COPPER CREEK VILLAS & CABINS Owners & Lovers Group•

    I am a little late to the party, but we are CCV owners. For page 1 purposes: jwsqrdplus2*June 2018*February. We had our first trip planned for Oct 2019 in a 1-br (those studios are tough to get), and despite Galaxy's Edge, we were able to switch pretty close to the 7-month mark to SSR in a...

    For those booking FP 30 days out, whats left?

    I was also only able to book 30 days out. Got everything I wanted except A&E initially (was able to snag that later when they extended hours). Times were not ideal in MK, but we were a party of 9. Did get SDMT without a problem, just not the time I would have preferred. NOTE: we had...

    Just back. Some good, bad, and ugly notes from my recent trip

    Totally agree with this. That was our only MK day. Our FP+ were for 3:15-4:15. We finally got to ride around 9pm. We were the "crash test dummies" after about 15 empty trains!
