    Are the poly village rooms dated?

    We just got back from a stay in a studio. The hallway carpet was gross, as was the sofa bed cushions - lots of stains. The furniture was worn. They definitely need a refurb. However, we LOVED our stay there - we were able to overlook the wear because the resort itself was so awesome, and we...

    Pressed Penny Machines still exist?

    Awww, this really sucks. My kids had so much fun collecting pressed pennies on our last trip. I agree, it is just more fun for them to put their real penny in there and see it transformed. And doubling the price??? Just another money grab.

    The Momento Mori lenticular photos are gone!?!?

    Noooooo!!! I saw those three years ago and they weren't in the budget, so I have been waiting until our trip next month to get them done. I was so excited :(

    Pin trading at the parks

    There are a few places on line that are supposed to sell authentic pins at a discount. I really like Zip a Dee Doo Disney's YouTube channel for learning about places to buy pins, and hot to spot fakes. I try to only spend my money on only authentic pins because I don't want to support...

    AP Break Even

    Best thing to do is run the numbers. I broke even getting one this year - we are taking two trips, and I added up the cost of 1 day in EPCOT, a seven day park hopper, a memory maker, hotel savings, and discount on merchandise (things I KNOW we are going to buy). I didn't include dining since we...

    Resorts w/suites - 3 sleeping surfaces

    A one bedroom at Bay Lake sounds like what you are looking for. You'd have a bedroom with a king, and then the living area has a queen sleeper sofa and twin sleeper chair. And you'd be walking distance to MK. It's $$$, but you can save a ton of money if you rent DVC points.

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    Thank you so much! I am flattered :) Someone did mention that I was wrong about being able to use QS drink credits for the cocktails at Hurricane Hannah's - They said you can get a drink and food if you order from the bar.

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    Thanks! Part of that time includes deboarding the plane and using the restroom. We were the last people on the bus, so it left the airport fairly soon after we got on. But the bus stopped at three resorts before arriving at the Beach Club. And, when we got there, there was another ME bus already...

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    Hi Everyone! We stayed at the Beach Club a couple of weeks ago. It was our first stay there and we loved it! We absolutely loved the pool, being in the middle of the Crescent Lake action, and being close to the Boardwalk. I thought it might be helpful to share a few things: 1. We took DME...

    Beach Club Fish Smell <I asked on Dining & few/uncertain answers so thought i would try here>

    Ditto others - we only noticed the smell in the hallway in front of Cape May, and only in the evening. We didn't notice it in the rest of the resort. You can walk outside instead.

    Pin Trading Starter Set

    I'm a big fan of Pinderella Shop. She sells grab bags of authentic pins for less than $2 each.

    F&G Crowd Question

    We were there last Wednesday and EPCOT was packed (crowd level was a 9), but the lines for the food were not bad at all.

    2019 Flower and Garden Festival menus

    The person who told me this was at Mousegear. Later I went to Pin Central and saw several other pins, but not the Figment AP one that I wanted. I'm not sure if they were available somewhere else, but I didn't want to spend too much time searching.

    2019 Flower and Garden Festival menus

    We were there on Wednesday. Even though the crowds were at a 9, the lines for the food booths didn't seem long at all. We just had a few things: Pineapple Promenade: Violet Lemonade - YUM!! I could see why this is a cult favorite, it was so good! Lotus House: Crab and Cream Cheese Wontons -...

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    We stayed in a studio for two days this week, and we booked through Disney. We have the bottles and they are each 2oz. They gave us new ones on the second morning, even though we barely touched the first set.

    Go to Rest Disney Springs/Boardwalk area

    We ate lunch at Big River Grill on our last trip. It was typical brewery food, but it was a beautiful day and we got to sit outside on the Boardwalk, which was really nice.

    Cinderella's Royal Table Questions

    I would absolutely keep lunch. We've done both lunch and dinner and noticed no difference in the experience.
