    Trip Insurance?

    Tell me about trip insurance - we have a long weekend trip coming up and between COVID, all of the flight cancellations as of late, and just plain old winter weather I'm worried our trip isn't going to go off as planned. We are using DVC points, flying Southwest and have a refundable car...

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

    I have a question about ACTIVATING tickets. We are going in a few weeks with Florida Resident grandparents. These FL Res grandparents have bought FL RES tickets for my kids (their grandkids), which is allowed, but grandparents need to be there to activate the tickets. However, we are staying on...

    Thanks, we will all be there together, so this will not be a problem. Will I still be able to link the kids tickets as normal to my MDE?

    We are headed to Disney in January and will be meeting the grandparents there. We are not Florida residents, the grandparents are Florida Residents. Grandparents want to buy the kids Disney tickets for Christmas. It seems buying Florida Resident tickets for your non-Florida resident grandkids is...

    MK rope drop priority?

    We are headed to MK next Monday and my youngest is a Splash Mountain lover. She wants to ride it at least 2-3x that day. It's our top priority ride and I had planned to head there at RD, but am now reading that Splash is often down at rope drop anywhere from 25%-50% of the time? Is there any way...

    Hertz Gold Plus but ressie not through Hertz, can we skip the line?

    I'm holding a couple of Hertz reservations - one through AAA and one through BJs. Both allowed me to input my Gold Plus number, does this mean we are still eligible to skip the line at the counter and go straight to the garage? Anyone have any experience with this?

    Can we cram into a compact car?

    Trying to get my rental price down as much as possible - a reservation (hertz) for a compact car is $150 less than the next class up. We are a family of 4 - 2 adults, 2 teens. We'll have 3 carry on suitcases, one duffle bag and 4 backpacks (we can put these in the car with us). Can we squeeze...

    Re-homing a pet and kids

    Thanks all, I appreciate the advice. We have had many talks about how it will make grandpa happy to have his cat back, but it's still so hard. The cat has lived with us longer than it did with grandpa (he was a kitten that showed up at grandpa's house early last summer). Chances are he will come...

    Re-homing a pet and kids

    Last fall we unexpectedly took possession of my father’s cat due to my dad’s health issues. We were very upfront with our kids (10 & 14) about the possibility of the cat not being with us permanently - things were very up in the air, we were not sure if my dad’s health would resolve, how his...

    How is everything affecting you personally? Making changes? Status quo? Too soon to tell?

    Governor announced today schools will be closed for the next two weeks. So I will be home with my kids. Did some mega amounts of shopping today and I plan on us just staying home for the next two weeks at least. Lots of things canceled but thankfully we didn’t have any real travel plans this...

    100 Points Going Farther Than Expected

    We’ve owned 100 pts at AKV for 11 years now. Would I like more? Sure. Who wouldn’t? But we’ve managed to make these 100 work for us quite well over the years. We take at least one trip pretty much every year and this year we had APs and managed 4 trips. It’s also the first time I’ve borrowed...

    Late Checkin

    We often arrive late at night and yes you will get your room ready text before you arrive. We’ve gotten some really great rooms with late arrivals, so I wouldn’t worry.

    MVMCP - should we wear personalized t-shirts or sweatshirts ?

    I would do a t shirt. You can always layer a long sleeve t shirt underneath if it’s chilly. We’ve been the last 2 November’s and it’s been pretty warm.
