    Changing Party in FastPass+

    We made FastPass+ reservations for our party, but now two members have decided they want to start the next day instead. If they stay on our FP, they won't be able to make reservations for their last day. But I don't seem to be able to take them off our FP+. Does anyone know how to do this, just...

    Vrbo rentals

    We had one really bad experience, when the owner defaulted on her mortgage and didn't let us know until the week we were all supposed to be arriving. We had booked the house a year in advance for my dad's 75th birthday, and all my siblings were scheduled to arrive when we were notified that the...

    Do you negotiate the rate of house/villa/condo rental?

    Throwaway room (read post #2041 or #2710 before posting)

    When I went to book, it only said documents would be sent. No mention of magic bands. Is that normal?

    Throwaway room (read post #2041 or #2710 before posting)

    If I book one night campsite for a party of 8, will I receive magic bands even if I have no tickets purchased? Do I need tickets linked to my Disney experience account to get magic bands?

    Help~

    The condo is in Polynesian Isles. My sister owns there and is going to stay there with her family. The rest of us were renting a six bedroom villa in the Formosa Gardens area (Rolling Hills). Actually, I just read the contract and discovered she shorted us $515. We had placed a $400 deposit...

    I am big time in need of some Disney magic. We have been planning a 75th birthday trip for my dad for almost two years now. Nineteen of us in total are going. Five rented a condo and 14 of us rented a villa, booking it in May 2008. Today, IN THE MAIL, I get a letter saying they're sorry...

    Thanks for being such a great waiting room - and for saving me a seat. While we're biting our nails, I have a question. I did some writing work for Disney as an independent contractor and disclosed this on my app. I figured I would hate to go to the last round and have this disqualify me...
