    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    I earned $55 in Swagbucks on the purchase ($40 for the laptop and a $15 bonus) so that rebate basically covered the membership. Other than that, there was no special "deal" that reduced my OOP cost.

    It also depends on what you plan to buy throughout the year. My DD needed a new laptop and the one she chose was $100 cheaper with the membership. That made it a no-brainer decision for me to spend the $50 on the membership to save $100 off the laptop plus I get the membership benefits for the...

    Free Water Park for 2025 Stays

    The downside to this is the unpredictably predictable Florida weather. If the inevitable afternoon thunderstorm happens to be rolling through when people are arriving to check in, how many people are going to head over to the water parks to wait it out?

    UPDATE: The money was back on my Virtual MC yesterday so I added it to my PayPal account and made my DGC from DisneyStore (FKA "ShopDisney") as usual and it went through just fine. I used RMN for the 6% but as of now, it has not tracked. It usually takes a day or so before I get the...

    Card still says DVC “ND” after buying direct

    I still show ANNUAL in my MDE and I haven't had an AP since 2018! I have had CM's give me an AP discount when I show my "card" in my Apple Wallet even though I tell them I have no AP. I have no idea how to delete it, but at least my DVC Y is correct as I am a "grandfathered" blue card holder...

    I usually add my prepaid MC to PayPal and then pay on ShopDisney via PayPal, but for some stupid reason, I skipped a step and used the MC directly. I am sure that is why it did not work. After the 7 business days has elapsed (Feb 28), I will see if the money is back on the card and then I will...

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    I wonder how fast they have been completing the buildings... This makes me very optimistic that we might get a refurbished 1BR AND stay in the main lodge by our arrival on March 31! Fingers crossed....

    Yup....mine didn't go through either. First time this has happened in YEARS. Now I am waiting for the pending charge to fall off my prepaid card (which is showing a balance of zero!) so that I can at least use it somewhere else.

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    Our trip is in a 1BR, arriving March 31! I would love it if the lodge were done, but if not, I am honestly just happy to be back at HHI :love:. We will be happy with whatever we get....If we are in the lodge (unrefurbished), we will have an elevator and a chance at a top floor with nobody...

    Does anyone have any updates on the buildings that have been completed? I am getting so excited for our trip in 45 days!

    Cabins at Fort Wilderness Points Charts Posted! For Sale and Booking Dates too!

    So basically, what is happening is that they have taken the rooms (cabins), refurbished them and now the entire property is "deluxe" and is being marketed as a DVC product. By doing so, the "value" of the rooms (cabins) has increased so the rack rate will go up to accomodate the "upgrade" in...

    I'm in the same boat (well, car:joker:). We are road-tripping to HHI for spring break and we have (4) rooms booked at Marriott properties along the way. Naturally, there is no offer on any of my Chase cards either:rolleyes2.

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    I have a question about the onsite bike rentals, specifically, the ones you rent from the rec desk... Is there a way to attach our own "pull-behind" wagon to the resort bikes? We have the adapter piece that simply screws into place, but you have to be able to remove the rear wheel to attach...

    Towncar that picks you up inside baggage claim?

    Cast and Crew Transportation was fantastic! They picked us up right inside the airport…didn’t even go “outside”. They are a little pricier ($120 each way) but completely worth it.

    Cabins at Fort Wilderness Points Charts Posted! For Sale and Booking Dates too!

    Just to clarify, we have no plans to travel with our dog at this point, for this very reason. I would never want to disturb other guests so until he learns to be a little quieter (he’s only 7 month old), he needs to stay home. I just wondered if there is a way for management to contact...

    Cabins at Fort Wilderness Points Charts Posted! For Sale and Booking Dates too!

    People have already mentioned their concerns with the dogs on the furniture...but I have another question. What does Disney currently do to address the issue of noisy dogs? We have never considered travelling with our dogs because we have always owned dogs that weigh over 100 pounds. We now...

    This happened to my DH while he was walking our two dogs. Our dogs (at the time) were a 110# Bullmastiff/Malamute mix and a "Heinz 57" (looks like a Bassett/Beagle...but he's brindle!...and weighs 80#) so the dogs weren't tiny. Our neighbor guy was in the garage working on his car and when DH...

    *HHI Owners and Beach Lovers Group Thread*

    I'm curious about how the refurbishment of the studios and 1BR's in the main lodge will effect those staying in those rooms. Will they be able to effectively block off and isolate the rooms that they are working on, or will there be an inevitable disruption? We have a 1BR booked for the first...

    Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

    Is the information in the "sticky" incorrect then? It does state that the Salute tickets can be bridged, but not to the full face value (i.e. gate price), but rather to "their own equivalent gate price". I interpret the "own equivalent gate price" as the "gate" price of the standard discounted...
