    Costco prices not changing

    I’m going in a couple weeks and Costco Alamo was high until almost exactly 2 weeks out. 10 days out and it jumped back up.

    Laundry Room donations

    As DVC members our kids have grown up Disney and it is very obvious while trying to pack up 15 years of stuff for our move next month. Here’s my question….years ago before everything shutdown I often saw where people would leave things in the laundry room for other guests. We have brand new and...

    Shades of Green or Pop?

    SOG hands down for us! Stayed both numerous times and almost every other Disney resort. We are a military family so the quirks are familiar to us. Once you get your check in card you don’t have to always be with the booking guest. My parents have gone with us and have different itineraries...

    Do You Fear For Your DVC Membership?

    Nah, we have already gotten our money’s worth at this point so if everything crashes and burns, DVC will be the least of my worries.

    Thank you, it’s certainly been a long time coming and feels like everything is being drawn out even more now! We have done our 100 day Disney countdowns in the past and know how quickly they fly by so I’m hoping that will help with the retirement timeline since they are right there together...

    We are also coffee snobs and I pack our pour over for every trip we stay so that we can function properly. Nothing worse than being stuck with kcups on vacation! I love getting up and enjoying the quiet before all the hustle of the theme parks. Ending the night with a glass of wine on the...

    We are going to the Halloween Party, it’s been way to long since we got the full experience of the party! I made costumes for us to do the family Wine and Dine 5k that we have tried to wear 3 times since every event was cancelled due to Covid or hurricane.

    Gate Checking Stroller

    When I had trouble finding stroller bags I would buy the heavy duty canvas bags that military personnel uses. I had one for a double that we now use to store gear on top of our Jeep, it’s lasted for years!

    Raise your hand if you are NOT buying the annual pass!!

    Nope, not us. We have a small direct contract and over the past few years while Disney has been going through its changes we branched out to other parks. We recently have been Universal passholders and plan on getting Dollywood passes as well. Banking and borrowing we will spend a week at...

    anyone use park sleep fly?

    We used it out of RDU a few times when the kids and I would head down without my husband. It was fabulous for 5am flights which would get us at Disney just in time for rope drop.

    Just booked August 25-31 Boulder Ridge! I think this will be our first non-split stay in nearly 10 years. We got chased home from our Sept trip last year due to Ian, rebooked for Mothers Day but due to life I just pushed it to August. Got flights yesterday too!
