VGC - Nov 30-Dec 5th
If you use Genie+ post up how it worked, i think you go before i do.
I fly in on the 26th, but my first park day isn’t until the 28th, so I’ll keep an eye out.
Did you ever use MaxPass at DLR? Genie+ is very similar, except it can only be used once per attraction per day.
The paper was Fast Pass. MaxPass was fast passes using your phone instead of going to the paper pass machines,
Oh, then no I never used it, except one time when I was visiting, friends used it on their phone and I think it hooked me into theirs? (maybe)
My son has DAS too. You probably won't need genie+ then unless you want re-rides or the lines are so long it's prohibitive even with the virtual lines. That's a low time of year and my guess is you won't need it.
I think having UYs 6 months apart is actually ideal--if managed reasonably well you can travel any time of year and never use points after the banking window.
Yea, that's true too, if planning on WDW multiple times a year. (I'm planning more like once every 3 years, so a little less convenient)
Don’t do the tour….. there are many of us VGC lovers who are big Riviera fans. Best to stay away from the resort and not be tempted.
That’s what we have. December and June for us. Works well. Also get some strong overlap in key months for us that would allow for some big parties if we needed
Sounds good. Wilderness lodge is our #1 at WDW but RVA is tied for #2 with AKL for us. It's just enough fancy and fun at the same time. But everyone is different. When we made inquires of our family (about 25 of us) at the end of the 2023 reunion AKL had the most votes for favorite resort, RVA came in 2nd and WL was last....
I would love to stay at AKV or WL, but my wife says she only wants to stay somewhere we can walk to a park… SoCal girl trained on Disneyland….
Riviera is incredibly relaxing and tones down the intensity of the Magic Kingdom area resorts and is less "busy" than the nearby Epcot ones. It has the best rooms of any Disney resort and carries an air of Disney luxury with it. It's sophisticated and relaxing whilst having enough Disney character touches. I love getting my morning coffee at Le Petit Cafe and watching families play together on the lawn which is frequently occurring at Riviera. To have a coffee shop, bar, quick service, and signature restaurant at a DVC exclusive property 3 mins walk from anywhere is a god send. Skyliner just tops it off. The Grand Cal team could learn a thing or two from Riviera F&B.
Waking up and seeing a giraffe out your window will quickly change most minds.
Yes! Just as we've loved watching the bustle of paradise pier outside our window at VGC, we loved watching the animals from our AKV balcony every day!
