    Photos - where to upload to share

    I'd recommend Google Photos. You can create a album that is shared amongst multiple people. Everyone can upload their images to the one album. There is also a "print shop" that allows you to order prints/books of the photos. I use it for all my photo sharing with my family. I believe you get...

    I'm booked at one Disney's all star hotels if it gets overbooked and they put me in upgraded hotel what will the price difference be

    In October, we had two nights booked at POP prior to a 7 night BC stay. I got a call from Disney the day before we were supposed to check in and they offered to upgrade us to a river view room at POR for no additional charge. They didn't give me a reason for why they were moving us, but I was...

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    That's interesting. We were at BC last month. Our room on the 1st floor had the ability to cast to the TV built into it.

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    We just returned from a stay at BC last week. The quiet pool was opened during the day, but they were closing it at night. The front desk told me that they were having some issues with the lighting so they were closing it at dark. We found it closed a couple of nights at the beginning of our...

    Another day of app issues at 7am. 10/16

    I wasn't saying that Genie doesn't work or that it should be avoided. My experience has been that once you get past the initial hit of people trying to book at 7am, it more or less works as advertised. My point was that there seems to be consistent problems with handling the load at 7am (see my...

    Another day of app issues at 7am. 10/16

    We were there from Oct 7 - Oct 13 with 5 park days. 4 of the 5 days I was up at 7:00 and the site had issues. Of the four days with issues, 3 of them were "resolved" within about 10 minutes of 7:00 but it did cause me to miss VQs for Guardians one day and Tron the next. One of the days, Oct 8...

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    We just returned from our stay at Beach Club a couple of days ago. We did NOT have ceramic mugs in our room for coffee. The only cups provided were the standard paper cups.

    Is there something going on at Pop? Got moved/upgraded to Riverside

    Hi All. So, we were supposed to check in to a pool view room at Pop tomorrow. I got a call from the resort today to ask if we would be interested in a complimentary upgrade to a River view room at Port Orleans - Riverside. Of course I accepted it, but am a bit curious as to what caused the...

    When do you tip at bell services?

    I'm a pretty habitual over-tipper. Most of the time, if anyone from Bell services touches my bags they will get a tip. Even if it is them just taking them from me when I drop off at the Bell desk or when they give them to me when I pickup at the desk. Usually I tip $1/bag when I dropoff or...

    Getting from Pop to AKL for Boma Breakfast

    Thanks everyone for all the input. After reading everyone's thoughts, I think I'll look at getting a Minnie Van for the trip over. In going with a MV, how much time do you think I should allow for it to arrive and get to AKL from Pop? Should we still plan on leaving Pop, or at least booking...

    Getting from Pop to AKL for Boma Breakfast

    On our upcoming trip we are doing our first couple of days at Pop and then moving to BC. On our first full Pop day, we have breakfast reservation at 10:00 at Boma. This reservation will be just me and my son and daughter (12 and 14). My wife is joining us a couple of days after we arrive because...

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Get Spooky!

    My TA purchased tickets for the 10/10 party for us as well. In order to get the tickets to show up in my account I had to manually link them on the website using the confirmation number on the order email I received. Interestingly, the confirmation email gave instructions for picking the...

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Get Spooky!

    We're looking at going to the party on Tuesday, Oct 10. I know this is a kind of nebulose question, but should I expect/anticipate this date to sell out early? I've never been to any of the parties before so I don't really know what to expect in terms of demand. Should I be sitting on go the...

    What is the best way for a couple to resort hop?

    Need a bit more info. Will you be staying on property? Do you have a car or are you relying on Disney transportation? Do you have an area of resorts you want to focus on?

    Split Stay at an All-Star or two nights at Disney Springs Hotel

    Yes, there is a resort fee and and daily/nightly parking. The resort fee was included in the calculation, but the $22/night parking was not. That brings the difference down to $12 with the possibility (likelihood) of there being a discount for the All-Stars. A discount as small as even 10% would...

    Split Stay at an All-Star or two nights at Disney Springs Hotel

    So my primary reason for considering doing a luggage transfer is so that I don't have to deal with unloading it and getting it to the bell desk on a morning when we're trying to rope drop Epcot. In my head I have visions of there being a line of people trying to do the same thing and we end up...

    Split Stay at an All-Star or two nights at Disney Springs Hotel

    Hi All. I have question put to all of you fine, knowledgeable people. We booked a trip at Beach Club Oct 7 - Oct 13 with 5 day park hopper tickets. This was right after 2023 packages were released back in the summer of 2022. I'm something of a planner and even though the trip is still (as of...

    ***Official October 2023 Thread***

    We're booked Oct 7-13 at Beach Club. We're also doing the two nights prior to our Beach Club check-in at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista to take in a little Disney Springs action before moving to BC. We're driving from central MS, and want to have our full check-in day available to enjoy rather...

    No Park/Flex Day recommendations?

    Yeah, you can. You'd have to pay to park at the TTC (or take a ride share there). From there you can take the monorail wherever you'd like.

    No Park/Flex Day recommendations?

    I'm planning a non-resort day on our upcoming trip as well. My 14 year old daughter likes to collect pins (not just Disney pins but all kinds) and she has expressed an interest in pin trading. So we're planning to spend the morning at the Beach Club pool, and then resort hop around the Skyliner...
