    Smallest group size without triggering cancellation

    That may be, but when I called to do payments, I asked how many were on the Egypt trip, and they told me 11 one time and 9 another, so I do think people cancelled too. I'm just glad I had the experience to go - it was an amazing adventure!

    Smallest group size without triggering cancellation

    I've had 2 trips, Backstage Magic 2010 and Egypt 2022, that ran with 6 people (and 1 guide). I do believe those were exceptions and had people who cancelled after the PIF date.

    Magic Key questions

    Thanks. I had seen that info. But I don't think my next trip will be until June 2025. So I'll keep watch after this June for the next round of pass sales.

    Magic Key questions

    Yes, I've been watching this. Right now I'd still need Inspire, so I haven't done it b/c just getting a couple of park hoppers for the days I'll be there works out to be less $. I added on one 50 point contract in 2022 and just grabbed another one that's in ROFR right now. Lol. I saw that...

    Magic Key questions

    I'm looking at hopefully purchasing a Magic Key sometime in the future, likely when I can go more on weekdays than weekends. I have a couple of questions though... 1. If I were to start with an Inspire key while I'm still doing weekends, can I downgrade to a different level pass when I renew...

    platinum check in at port?

    Thank you for this info. That's good news for when I'm back at PC for the Treasure. I'll be curious to see what they're doing at Ft. Lauderdale, which is where I'm out of next.

    platinum check in at port?

    Does Platinum still get to check in with concierge? Or is this another perk we've lost like automatic boarding group 2? I haven't cruised since they added Pearl to the mix.

    Castaway Cay 5K medal

    There was at least one cruise that had a RunDisney 5K (I found an article that referenced 2015) b/c it was tied in with marathon weekend. The route was slightly different than the one DCL uses to make it more accurate...

    Castaway Cay 5K medal

    I think it was more formal with the meet up on board and walk to the start line together up until Covid. When the cruises started back up they went to doing it OYO and haven't gone back. I kind of like it this way b/c then I'm not tied to a specific time to do it. :)

    Castaway Cay 5K medal

    This is the medal I have already. Saves me from doing it again. Thanks!

    Castaway Cay 5K medal

    Can anyone tell me what medal they're handing out currently for the CC 5K? Are they still doing this OYO and handing out a medal? Just want to know if it's a different one than the one I picked up in March 2023.

    Egypt January 2, 2024 trip report

    Both trips were with ABD. Egypt was high on my bucket list b/c I love the study of the Egyptian ancient civilization. So seeing all of those sites that I had studied in person was just an amazing experience. I honestly can't see doing Egypt with younger kids unless they have a familiarity with...

    What is the value for you in ABD trips?

    Many of the other responses have already made my main points. But for me as a Disney fan, ABD was a way to start international travel as a solo traveler when I wasn't comfortable with doing it myself. I started with London/Paris and have done several others since then. Now having been to...

    Egypt January 2, 2024 trip report

    I didn't see you mention it, but did you get to Hatshepshut's Temple? I feel like that was kind of a bonus stop for us. We went there after Valley of the Kings before flying to Sharm (summer 2022). It was one of my favorite stops, and I'm glad we had the chance to go there. :) BTW, Sharm was...

    **UPDATE** Has this happened to any other resale buyers? Fidelity made it right!

    OP, all I can say is wow. I was annoyed and upset when my recent VGC small resale contract did not have the points banked as they were supposed to have been before the sale. But at least they were there even if not in the correct UY. Thankfully DVC allowed a one time banking past the deadline...

    Best value resorts for solo adult?

    That's because they were individual rooms to start with. The resort opened in 1994 and was retrofit with suites in 2006.

    ABD Exclusive Experiences

    Egypt - VIP location for the Sphinx (I got to pet his paw), also Luxor after hours at night. We also did the Philae temple complex after hours at night. Although, I went in the summer with a group of 6 on our tour, so most of that trip seemed exclusive since we were such a small group and...

    Seeking advice ABD South Africa

    I went this past summer (June 2023). It's an active trip, but there were several multi-generational families in the group, and everyone seemed fine. Nobody sat any of the activities out.

    Adventures by Disney: Egypt Inquiry

    That was something people booked on their own. There really wasn't time once we started touring to fit it in, but some people arrived early and did it the day before.
