    Minnie Vans now charging flat fee plus mileage.

    - they introduced a service ($20) - people used it and liked it, price went up ($25) - people still used it and liked it, even at the higher price...so now they're raising it again. Especially if you need those car seats, maybe it's still worth it for you. Also, for those curious like me...

    What’s the best ‘bargain’ you’ve gotten..

    At Christmas (December 23-27) we got a great deal through a TA for Boardwalk: exactly $300/night (before tax). It was too good to pass up. Then moved over to POFQ for two nights and paid more ($303/night before tax) with no discount.

    "Official" 2018 Disney After Hours (DAH) Thread (Now Closed, see New 2019 Thread)

    Are there discounts available again? What’s the price for AP? DVC? Edit: found it. $89.

    Pop Century Room Renovations

    Update: didn’t have a chance to walk around today before leaving but there was definitely some work being done very close by. Woke up to the sound of power tools! We were in room 4222.

    Pop Century Room Renovations

    We are on the opposite side of the pool. We didn’t see any gates but we haven’t been around the entire building so I’m not sure I’m any help there.

    Pop Century Room Renovations

Went to the desk when we got here and asked, said we would be fine with a standard room if it meant refurbed...she said she wasn’t sure if she had anything because it’s a busy...

    Disney Gift Card Deals

    Yesterday: went to my local Target (Watertown, MA) and purchased $150 in Disney gift cards with Target gift cards no problem at self-checkout. Today, same store: the payment wouldn't go through (I was using self-checkout) so someone came over to help. That person #1 called someone else over...

    Tell me everything about Christmas week

    I was just there over Christmas, and even though I loved being there Christmas Day and think everything looks beautiful... the crowds were too much. Some observations: - There is a serious line for not just the attractions, but everything. Everything! Bathrooms, Joffrey’s, snack carts. Stopping...

    Minnie Van cost?

    No argument here. You're right, which is why I ended my post with that parenthetical.

    Minnie Van cost?

    Not there now, but just pretended in the app and it says $25. Ouch. That’s a quick price increase for something that was already double the price of another ride. I certainly hope this means they’ve expanded the fleet to meet demand at busier times. This also probably means some people will...

    What Disney is trying to do.

    Lots of issues with all of this but this really stuck out to me. I don't think you'll be getting a room in the tower for under $200/night, and you can't get a room anywhere on property for $75.

    What benefits of using a travel agent?

    One word answer: price. More word answer: We are hyper planners and love all that, so we prefer to do that all ourselves, so we never considered a TA and had many great trips. Then we became aware of a great deal from a TA, inquired, and booked it. So now we always check in with her and compare...

    Christmas at the Boardwalk + Wild Africa Trek + a week of holiday fun! (completed 1/28)

    Thank you Sheila! Thanks! Always glad to see another Duffy fan around. One day I will make it out to Tokyo to meet him and his whole crew. Ahh yes, I forgot about the colors. The guys we were paired with had done it before and seemed to know what was going on, I now remember them asking the...
