    Epcot Moonlight Magic Feb 8

    Epcot was our first ever MM event and we loved it. Given that it was free, it's hard to complain about anything. One thing that would have helped us is if the brochure that was handed out upon entry (which ended up being just after 6:30) had been included as an attachment in the Email that we...

    Disney After Hours

    I'm renting some points for a friend in January and she would like to do the after Hours. Do I need to buy the tickets for her, and can I get the discounted price as well? Thanks in advance for any help.

    How many waitlists?

    We had a 7 night stay booked at BLT beginning Jan 9. We wanted a couple more nights before that but the nights were unavailable. So I submitted 2 waitlists - 1 for just the night of the 8th, and 1 for the 2 nights of 7th and 8th. About a week or so later, the 2 night waitlist came through (and...

    Help - Was Scammed!

    We have rented many times through VRBO and have always done well. A couple times the renter has offered to us that if we come back again we should contact them directly to save the VRBO fee. We probably would still go through VRBO, simply to have some level of protection.

    Purchasing Genie + question

    I've noticed on this thread and others where people have mentioned waiting until 12:00 AM to purchase Genie+ for that one particular day. Is there a reason for doing it at that time versus, say, 6:00-6:30 that same morning? You can't book anything until 7:00 anyway, even if you've purchased it...

    Resort hopping without a dining res?

    A few years ago we spent the better part of a day visiting the resorts for holiday decorations. We started our day by taking a Disney bus to Disney Springs and getting breakfast at Earl of Sandwich. It opens at 9 and its nice and quiet over at Disney Springs at that time. We then walked to the...

    2021 NBA Bubble?

    The current schedule for the NBA playoffs is May 16 to July 22. Of course that might change (be extended) depending on the extent of cancelled regular season games that have to be made up. We currently have a reservation for 7 nights starting June 30 at BCV. One of the primary reasons for...

    Flight advice for getting there and back

    We flew Delta non-stop from Boston to Atlanta (coach) then splurged for our one-time-ever first class seating for the nonstop from Atlanta to Honolulu. Best use of points EVER! We loved getting to Hawaii at a time we could see some of Honolulu, though by supper time locally we were dragging a...

    BLT lake view vs theme park view?

    We bought into BLT the spring of 2009 before it opened. We have loved staying there and don't even consider TP views. We have no issues at all with LV. In fact, in 2013 we had a GV LV to celebrate our daughters 5 year anniversary and also had our grandson. The GV was on the Contemporary side...

    Non-AP Ticket Holders and New Park Reservations System-INFO POST #76

    Just FYI - The Park Pass system is on the app as well as the website. Click "Learn More" under the "Learn more about the phased reopening...". Once you are on the next screen, you have to scroll down into the blue area and there's a link that says "Disney Park Pass System", same as the web...

    Using 2018 points-need to wait till 6/10

    I feel bad for people dealing with the expiring 2018 points. And not being able to access them and possibly not use them to replace an existing reservation must be more than frustrating. I randomly looked at availability from July-Nov. While there are a few decent pockets of availability...

    Are they shifting guests to different resorts?

    Just wondering, but are there any capacity limits at a resort? It's difficult enough trying to keep up with my own home-state and neighboring state rules, so I have no idea where things stand in Florida. And if Florida has no capacity limit, might Disney self-impose their own? As Disney shifts...

    Pool Availability?

    As others have mentioned, having no pool would absolutely be a deal breaker for us, and would make the decision to cancel a trip a lot easier. But the idea of restricted access really clouds the decision. I don't spend much time in the pool, but love to chill out with a book, crossword puzzle...

    Pool Availability?

    Has there been any word on whether the resort pools (Main pool and/or quiet pools) will be open on the day the resorts re-open? And if so, has there been any word regarding restrictions, such as reduced capacity, designated time slots, etc? I'm assuming that there will be changes once open...

    Current blt owners - availability q

    We are also an original owner, buying 6 months before BLT opened, and have loved being an owner. I agree with the earlier answer, especially the fact that most types of accommodations will be available at 11 months, especially anything with Lake View. But I see you would want a "Standard"...

    Is DVC comping anything if *they* cancel a points reservation?

    We had booked a trip for my daughter beginning July 4. I called 2 days ago to cancel and was told the 56 points I borrowed would be put back, though it might take up to 30 days. When I saw they were put back yesterday I quickly "chatted" with a CM to confirm that what I was seeing was definitely...

    Trip Cancelled bc of March Closure — Best time to rebook??

    We love Food & Wine. It now extends into the early part of November. We have found that to be a good opportunity for reasonable weather where you can stroll around the various food stations and eat outdoors comfortably. We just cancelled our 8-night trip that was to start March 26 and are...

    Disney Waives Change Fees

    After finally getting through late this afternoon, a very nice CM (Magdalene) took care of my reservation quickly and efficiently. We were booked for 8 nights starting March 26th with 93 points from this year and 101 borrowed from next year. Once I told her I wanted to cancel, she put the 93...

    Issues with MDE app on iphone

    Luckily I only had a minor issue with the MDE app on my Iphone (7). Yesterday was our first chance to book FP's. I made my selections and was done by 7:30. Throughout the day, though, I was tweaking days as well as tweaking time slots. While the web site continued to be just fine, when I...
