    Animal Kingdom Kidani room requests?

    We only stay at AKV when we bring other family members with us. The points for this resort are so cheap for what you are getting. I saw a recent video of a 2 bedroom room and it was really in need of a refurb, esp. the kitchen cabinets. We usually stay at SSR and the refurb DVC did was done...

    Animal Kingdom Kidani room requests?

    My family has a 2 bedroom unit booked for May and I believe it comes with a 10-12 cup coffee maker. Can I request a Keurig machine instead of the coffee maker? Is there a fee for swapping it out? We will be bringing our own K-cups with us and will not need them to supply us with any.

    Going to both parks in one day and food budget question?

    Thank you, I think I was just looking for reassurances. We are actually a party of 6 (2 separate families of 3) I'm not worry for my party of 3 if we go over the meal budget but since I'm also planning a budget for the other 3 people, I just wanted to make sure it was enough. They are coming...

Will 60.00 a person cover two counter service meals and 1or 2 snack for the day? We'll also purchase a free style cup to share during our day (not included in the 60.00pp) and...

    Military Ticket Questions

    I am planning to purchase MYW tickets from Shades of Green this month. Will we need to make park reservations with these tickets? I thought Disney drop the reservation system for everyone but AP holders?

    What days to schedule our park days?

    That's what I am doing right now. With hours not out for May, its making it hard to plan. LOL We are planning to do resort early morning entry, so we can get as much park time as possible.

    Now I have a really dumb question. What do I do with this email. My options are send egift or access egift. I really would like to put them on a hard card to save them for our trip next year. LOL This is actually the first time I've bought gift cards online, if you can believe it. LOL

    I'm so sorry. I did received the email gift cards just a few minutes ago. Maybe I got a glitch and they honored it. I'm hoping they will do this again for actual Black Friday.

    I just checked today and they are back up. I grabbed 2 gift cards. Question I have is that sams clubs say 2 cards per membership/person, does that mean my husband can use his card to grab 2 more cards on the same membership?

    Does Universal Studios offer a translation device?

    I was thinking more so for the rides and shows. Disney has what they call Ears around the world. They work on some rides and the shows. We don't need them for communication. I guess I should have made it more clear. LOL My bad. Thanks for the info.

    Looking for counter service restaurants that mimic table service restaurants?

    Has anyone eaten at El Mercado at Coronado Springs? Allears says it a counter service for 2023. The menu looks decent. How's the food there? Remember when we could go to Coronado Springs and get a ribeye steak as a counter service meal. Those really were the days! LOL

    Looking for counter service restaurants that mimic table service restaurants?

    I have Columbia Harbor House and Polite Pig on a maybe list. My kids love D-lux burger! I personally didn't enjoy Docking bay 7 the last time we were there. But they may want to eat there for the theming.

Tonight I went to book and all the standard rooms were book, and I had to book a lock-off. Can I waitlist for a standard room? We really want the 2 queen beds in one room and not...
