    Great Movie Ride closes for Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway

    I always thought they should have just hired film majors students as CMs to write their own individual script to narrate. I love the ride, but since there is so much to say about each movie, it made me sad when the "hosts" just reiterated the same info year after year. Whatever replaces it needs...

    2016 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival: September 14 - November 14, 2016

    Thanks! This worked for me too. The other lines kept saying all circuits busy. Was able to get through to CM on the tour line in less than 10 minutes. Booked French Family Meal Traditions lunch!

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    Guessing it's the same setup as other DVCs, in which case the following would be true: You have to bring your own filters and ground coffee. We do this every trip and love having our own locally roasted coffee every morning. Coffee maker is standard flat bottom 12 cup machine. They provide a...

    Disney's POLYNESIAN VILLAGE RESORT Information & Questions

    I have never understood the value of the refillable mug. Maybe because I don't drink soda and don't enjoy carrying anything with me and am often coming from or going to a park. If I am drinking something it's water, coffee or something containing alcohol. Can someone explain the value of the mug...

    What is your favorite thing to do on an Adults Only Trip?

    My wife and I have no kids yet, but have taken over 6 adult only trips so far, with 3 more planned over the next 2 years. We love the resorts and restaurants. We go to the parks most every day (almost always hopping) and enjoy the rides. We love just strolling around and enjoying the scenery. We...

    What do you do to make your resort room nicer

    COFFEE! We travel light, but staying in dvc means we bring our own coffee and filters so we can make delicious coffee every morning. Otherwise enjoy the parks and resorts which are beautifully themed, including pop!

    Do you Purchase DVC APs?

    We tend to get APs every 2 years and plan to get 2-4 trips on each pass. We love the signature restaurants, so we often do tables in Wonderland, but might be tough with recent increases. It use to be $75 just a few years ago, but last I checked it was up to $125, and rumor abound that Disney...

    To finance or not to finance

    I second tts. They were great and always post the full out of pocket cost. I would not finance, unless you can get a good rate. I have heard of people using a home equity loan to borrow cash at a low rate and then purchase DVC with the cash. The rates available for DVC direct or resale finance...

    member site

    i can't log in, just keeps kicking me out. Why is it that every time i try to book at the 11 or 7 month mark on the day, the website isn't working. Do i just have bad luck, or does the site always have problems?

    Possible ticket promos

    For people traveling before the expiration date, is there any benefit to buying this ticket to exchange for an annual pass? In the past you could save money by buying discounted tickets then upgrading to annual pass, but these tickets are a bit odd, only allowing 1 visit per park.

    Say Good Bye to Maelstrom....A 'Frozen' Ride is Definite

    Norway was always my favorite showcase, partly because of Maelstrom but also because it had the best merchandise, the bakery was a wonderful place to take a break with a snack, and the stave is a beautiful landmark that you can actually go into. While the stave may remain, who knows what else...

    Wait list etiquette?

    Thanks everyone. My 1 day wait list was filled in just a few days. I was surprised that they called me to confirm on the phone instead of just sending an email, but was certainly pleased. May try a couple other wait lists to get the perfect combo of days. Thanks again!

    Wait list etiquette?

    I am a new member, looking at making a trip in January. My wife and I are hoping to stay 4 nights in BLT, but can only find 3 together. Are there any rules or etiquette that we should be aware of, like don't reserve 4 different partial trips looking for first wait list to come through, then...
