    DVC vs. Universal Deluxe

    Universal Premium hotels for visiting those theme parks. So worth not having to buy an express pass. We love the Royal Pacific. Also, Legoland is lots of fun, especially for younger kids.

    Anyone see the shark?

    I always thought so too, but when we were there in May we were told they did not.

    Luaus - Chief's, Fia Fia, or Ka Wa'a?

    Dis Fia Fia last time and Ka was' this time. Both were great shows, food was much better at Aulani, and we did the VIP package which included alcohol and soft drinks. you won't go wrong with either. The prime rib at Aulani was soooo good.

    Best airline for CA to HI and back?

    We flew Alaska Air there and Hawaiian back....Alaska Air was much better. We paid for extra comfort seats on Hawaiian and thought the seats were very uncomfortable but did have extra leg room.

    Hawaiian Air extra comfort.

    We just flew Hawaiian Back to LAX and had extra comfort. The leg room was good the seat comfort was horrible. The seats on our Southwest flight to Chicago were so much more comfortable. We were very disappointed with the lack of comfort in extra comfort. We did get a blanket and media player.

    Aulani or Disneyland First?

    We leave Tuesday and are doing Disneyland first then flying to Aulani on Saturday. On the way home we are taking a night flight to LAX to get some rest on the plane, then flying to Chicago to see our kids, before heading back to Orlando. By the time we get home, I am worn out anyways :). We...

    DVC Members in Orange, Osceola, Polk or Lake County

    We live in Celebration, and both work at Disney part-time. We still use all our points and love it. We use them at Vero for mini vacations, going to California/Aulani in a week, and use it when the kids come down to visit so it is more of a vacation for them. Never have any problem using up...

    Maui Itinerary Help

    We took a Road to Hana tour and were very glad we did. The guides shared lots of great information and stopped at great places. It is not a road that you want to drive and have the driver distracted...and that would be sad because there are so many beautiful things to see. The road is so...

    Using DVC points for non-DVC Disney Resort

    Grand California is awesome! Availability depends on when you are going. We have always been able to get a 2 br mid-May at 7 months.

    Upgrading 11 year old ticket?

    There are a lot of "ifs" here. First, it can only be upgraded if it is an unused ticket. Tickets can only be upgraded for 14 days from first use. Second, if it was purchased 11 years ago it might be a no expiration ticket. I would check on that "must be used in 14 days". If it is a...

    You definitely CANNOT use two days on the same day.

    Opinions on Annual Pass

    Yes, if one person if an annual pass member, they can buy discounted event tickets for the family. Photo pass pictures are shared with everyone connected with that person on My Disney Experience, and they can use their discount for food and merchandise for everyone in their family.

    Dinner and Walmart on way to AKL

    There is a brand new Walmart on 192 and Old Lake Wilson Rd, and a ton of new restaurants on west 192 that offer lots of dining options. The Walmart is very nice and it is all very near Sherbeth Rd. that you can take to Animal Kingdom Lodge.

    Problem with DVC Gold Pass activation

    You can use the renewal certificate to upgrade to a new annual pass and pay the difference without any problem at all. We do it all the time, and recommend it when people are way past their renewal date.

    Favorite non Aulani thing to do

    We loved to eat at Haleiwa Joes in Haleiwa. The town is a quaint little shopping town on the way to the North Shore, and there are also some great food trucks there. Dole Plantation is interesting, and Ted's Bakery on the North Shore is good. My husband is an explorer so we went all around...

    All Disney Websites are Down!

    Thanks! I was thinking it was just me. Sometimes I think Disney has the worst IT ever.

    Have you had a job with Disney and have a success story you want to share?

    I am not sure, but I would certainly imagine there are. Depending on where they are on the spectrum and how they can interact with guests and noise, there are many positions they could fit into. I had several clients whose "niche" was Disney, and they were treasure houses of Disney knowledge...

    Have you had a job with Disney and have a success story you want to share?

    I work at Disney and there are a lot of people with disabilities of one kind of another that work here. Many use canes, or power chairs, and others have missing or withered arms, sight limitations, along with a lot of other things. Their attitude and how they handle their disabilities is an...
