    Disney Animation at the resorts

    I'm interested in the various references to Disney animation that can be found at the resorts. The obvious one is the new Art of Animation resort, which embraces Disney animation as its central theme. Here are the others that I'm aware of: Humphrey the Bear at Wilderness Lodge Aristocats...

    Hoping my wait list at VGC comes. What are the chances?

    Thanks for the info. My wait list expires seven days prior to arrival, so it could be that my best chance for it to come through would be others cancelling their ressies 31 days prior. I'll wait it out and cross my fingers.

    Hoping my wait list at VGC comes. What are the chances?

    Good morning, everyone! Question for VGC veterans. I have a reservation for two nights in a Studio in mid August, right after the D23 Expo. I have a third night on wait list which I hope comes through. If it doesn't, I have an existing reservation nearby that will cover my lodging needs...

    Question for Anaheim Marriott veterans (internet access)

    Thanks, all for the info. I'll see if I can request a wired room, but it sounds like either wired or wireless, I'll be paying the daily fee. Our party will have 3 to 5 wifi-enabled devices, so we'll juggle the devices accordingly.

    Question for Anaheim Marriott veterans (internet access)

    A question for DL veterans who stay at the Marriott by the convention center. I'll be staying there during the D23 Expo. The hotel offers wifi for $13 d day. I see that the rooms also offer wired internet access in the guest room, with an asterisk of "wired for business." If it's possible to...

    ~ D23 Expo Aug./2013 ~

    One quick observation - looking at ticket options via the official DL website, it shows that the 3, 4 and 5 PH tickets include one "magic morning" early admission (offered on Tue, Thurs and Sat). The multi-day PH tickets via the D23 Expo link don't seem to offer that. Am I reading that...

    ~ D23 Expo Aug./2013 ~

    Thanks for the additional information. I have a four night reservation at the Marriott, and I'll call to tentatively add a fifth night. I have a confirmed reservation after the D23 Expo at the Grand Californian (DVC side), with two nights booked and one night on wait list. I'll cancel my...

    ~ D23 Expo Aug./2013 ~

    Oh, I don't plan on leaving the Expo during the day. I'm just wondering if it's a viable option for after 6 PM. This will be my first D23 Expo and I can't wait. When might the detailed schedule be announced?

    ~ D23 Expo Aug./2013 ~

    Question for D23 Expo veterans - will Disney offer a discount to Expo attendees for DL / DCA park tickets? I'm planning on being at the Expo Fri - Sun, and then spending a few days at the parks afterwards. I'm leaving open the option to attend the parks during the nights of the expo, in...

    traveling with a guest - documentation needed?

    Thanks all for the comments and advice. I'll get with his parents to have a pre-signed letter for any urgent health care issues that may (but hopefully not) arise. Wheels up for WDW in two weeks!

    traveling with a guest - documentation needed?

    Morning all ... We'll be flying to Orlando later this month and we'll be bringing a guest with us, a friend of our son, who is also a minor. What documentation should we get from his parents? They have his passport which we can use, but I believe we'll also need a letter too, authorizing...

    DVC cash discount at Grand Californian?

    Morning all ... I'll be attempting a reservation later this month for a stay at the DVC side of the Grand Californian (VGC). On the possibility that there won't be enough inventory to make a DVC ressie, I understand there's a way to use my DVC membership to get a cash discount if I book a...

    ~ D23 Expo Aug./2013 ~

    After sitting out 2009 and 2011, I bought tix for the 2013 D23 Expo. I will probably pick the Marriott or Hilton next door, since I've heard from other veterans that closer is best. Does anyone know if there will be a D23 discount at nearby hotels?

    Demand for VGC during D23 Expo Aug 2013

    What are the odds I'll be able to get a studio at VGC for a few nights following D23? I want to to attend the expo, and I'm considering all hotel options. The likely choice is a hotel next to the convention center, but I'd like to stay at VGC if possible. I'm betting that it's fully booked for...

    Garden Grocer?

    We used Garden Grocer last year, with positive results. I would like to use them again for our trip next month, to have bottled water and breakfast supplies delivered, likely which will include perishables. Here's my dilemma -- we will arrive at SSR around noon and check-in, but I doubt...

    Aulani - viable for the rent/trade boards?

    We're DVC members and we've used the rent/trade boards here before with success, both renting out when we have a surplus of points and renting in when we need some. Looking back, I realize these were all for WDW DVC resorts. How "different," if at all, is Aulani within the context of renting...

    BLT - approx. numbers of Standard, Lake and MK view rooms?

    Thanks all ... We're going January 25th-29th (four nights). Sounds like I need to assume it will be a lake view room. I appreciate all the responses and comments.
