Oh yes, recharging it means the battery is active and the MB+ will link ride photos to your account! I just bought a MB+ for our upcoming trip so that I didn’t have to worry about whether the battery was working or not for photos - I’m not really concerned about playing games or having it light...

That’s good, because it opens up the possibility of walking in the air conditioned hallway to a stairway and exit door, bypassing various lengths of outdoor walkways! Some of the exit doors are one-way out, but others have tap points so you can enter that way, too, and make your way back to your...

Because there’s only one bank of elevators, “near elevators” would be the request that serves for “near boat dock.” When you exit the elevators on the ground floor, you can turn right and walk through the breezeway to the BW boat dock that’s on the walkway to Epcot. Or you can turn left and walk...

Check out the three Marriott Palms timeshare resorts at the World Center Marriott, across I-4 from WDW - the Imperial Palms, the Royal Palms, and the Sabal Palms. Very quick drive up and over I-4 and you're on Epcot Drive. You also have access to the amenities at the Orlando World Center...

The Resort rooms are the regular hotel rooms and can be in any of the various outbuildings. The Villas are DVC and can be in the original Villas of the Grand Floridian building next to the Wedding Pavilion or in Big Pine Key. In the original VGF building you'll find Deluxe Studios, which have...

I assume it's a MB2, not the rechargeable MB+, and if so, unfortunately, no, there's no way to check the battery in the MB2. The good news is that those batteries last at least two years, often longer, so you should be fine. As a backup, be sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on and that MDE...

It might even be hard to see the edge at night, especially when you’re looking up at the drones. And I can think that kids might want to run toward the show rather than staying farther away from the edge. I’m sure Disney doesn’t want to take any chances at all of a repeat of that tragedy.

DH and I will always vote for a 1BR rather than a studio. Privacy and the option to stay up watching TV in the bedroom while the child sleeps in the living room, especially for an 8-night trip, would be important to us. Having the in-room laundry would mean packing much less clothing, and the...

We buy them when we’re sure we want them, so they arrive in plenty of time before the trip! If you order them through your resort reservation link in MDE, they’ll be linked to each person in MDE already. No activation needed. If you’re not staying at a Disney resort and buy from the Disney...

One of the most confusing aspects of DVC is the Use Year, because it doesn’t correspond to calendar year or to assessment or payment of dues. It just controls which points you can use for a given reservation, which depends entirely on the dates of the reservation, not on when you go through the...

In December 2020 we bought tickets that started on Friday, and we didn't arrive until Sunday! It worked just fine, because they covered the days through the end of our stay.

Monday, March 10 through Friday, March 15 is Spring Break for our local school district and for many other school districts here in Texas. I think that pumps up attendance as well - but not as much as Easter does!

Sorry, I had to laugh. Typical of Disney not to show reality in their photos. Or at least not to show the most important parts of the pool area, just the boring “yes, there is a pool” part.

I think you were upgraded and the site was wrong. The 4th or 5th floor is the start of Theme Park view at BLT. Standard view definitely doesn’t go up to 7the floor.

That’s quite possible, and given the parking difficulties in the BW lot, as a BWV owner who usually has a car, I’m happy to see it. The BoardWalk was originally promoted as a destination, but Disney has moved away from that in recent years.

As above, you’ll have to call MS to add it and pay for it then. Your friend could give you her CC info for you to use, or she could buy a Disney gift card in the relevant amount and let you use that.

Interesting question! Given Disney’s recent move to the “one login” for all its websites, I’d be concerned that there might be some snafus. For instance, have you installed MagicMobile in your phones’ digital wallets? I don’t know whether having your name listed as DVC member in your wife’s...

Thanks for the explanation!

Tip: if hoping for a split stay, book your home resort as a split in the beginning, because you can’t modify just part of a reservation to a different resort. For example, if you want 4 nights at CCV and hope for 3 nights at BWV, book a 4 night reservation and a 3 night reservation at CCV. They...

I agree with @hockeydad21, Aloha Tower would be fitting.
