    Best 2 day touring plan?

    I am visiting DL for the first time with my 11 year old in late April (we’ve been to WDW many times). We only have 2 days (Fri & Sat) we can add onto our trip. Id expect we’ll get park hoppers and Genie+ for the 2 days. I’ve been looking for a good 2 day touring plan and found lots of resources...

    Aulani Villas & Views -- REVISED 07/22/2017

    Currently staying in OV studio, 672. Requested (called member services) highest floor possible ending in 72, 78 or 84. Would have preferred a higher floor but the view is good. Impressed with how soundproof the patio doors are, can’t hear the pool noise at all in the room.

    Luau - on Maui or at Aulani?

    We are travelling to Hawaii over Christmas break. Staying in Ka’anapali over Christmas and Kihei over New Years before we head to Aulani for 5 days to finish out our trip. Looking for advice on Luau’s. Thought maybe a special one for NYE would be cool or save it for Aulani. We did the PCC one...

    Any chance to book Aulani for Christmas or NYE at 7 months?

    Thanks! I dropped my back up plan 1 minute before to free up my points and was able to snag the 4 days available first thing this morning! Super happy about that!! Can I modify a waitlist (the days) or do I have to cancel and set up a new one for the 1st day I wasn't able to get? I clicked...

    Any chance to book Aulani for Christmas or NYE at 7 months?

    Ugh....I missed it this morning. Only 3 options were available (OV Studio, IV 1 bed, OV 1 bed) at 8am, but I had our backup plan booked for the week earlier in WDW and didn't realize I couldn't change the points to a different booking (like with a waitlist). So by the time I realized that...

    Maui planning, tips, and trip reports

    I am starting to plan a trip to Maui then Aulani for end of 2023. I’ve been to Oahu a few times, Kauai and the Big Island but this is our first trip to Maui. When picking area to stay, where do you recommend? Kaanapali, Lahaina, Wailea or Kihei are the area I’ve been looking. We’ll have a...

    Any chance to book Aulani for Christmas or NYE at 7 months?

    We are thinking of cancelling our trip to WDW planned for this spring to spend Christmas in Hawaii. We would like to either start or end our trip at Aulani, so would have either Christmas or NYE in our dates. Is there any chance we’d be able to get a studio or 1 bedroom at 7 months out? What...

    DVC laundry rooms

    I used the laundry rooms at AKV and BWV in March. I was able to do laundry in both easily, one dryer in AKV did t work very well (had to run a second time and used another machine) but BWV was fine. Laundryviewer didn’t work for either when I was there.

    Which of the two courses do you like better at Winter Summerland mini golf?

    There is a phone number you can call. I believe it was day of or the day before. We did the winter one in March as a walk up and it was a 30 minute wait or play (said it would be 45)

    Epcot or MK Table Service Recommendations

    We were just in WDW at the end of March with teenagers. Their favourite TS meals from where we ate were all new restaurants to us: MK - Steakhouse 71 or Ohana - was impressed with both. We don't love Skippers Canteen and Be Our Guest was a big disappointment on this trip, especially when...

    Never doing a split stay again

    We've done a few split stays, the last one a few weeks ago had 3 resorts staying 3/4/3 nights poly/akv/bwv. I love being able to try out different resorts, their pools & restaurants, especially on a longer stay. I agree, that being roomless on the move day is a little inconvenient. We don't...

    Poly is an ok resort

    I haven't stayed at that many DVC resorts yet (AKL, PVC, SSR, BWV) but I love it. We stay in studios and I love the size of the Poly studio and split bathrooms. I also love the vibe the resort gives. Agree that the pools are a bit small and can be quite crowded but the pros outweigh the cons...

    Splash Mountain wetness level

    We rode it a few times our trip a few weeks ago and was in the front and the 3rd row. Front we got splashed from the sides a bit - not soaked but our shirts & hair were damp. Rode early in the day and were fine within the hour. Second ride was 3rd row, and while we didn't get our shirts or...
