    Do CM really care about who gets the purchase discount?

    Our experience back in early April was similar to @condorthb's - I'm pretty sure we were always asked if we were DVC. We're not direct members and would reply back with a similar response, and had a similar outcome. But that said, we didn't do a ton of shopping, and half the time we weren't...

    First time going since DVC, bought resale- Q

    100% - I was very appreciative of CM's who did this. I was never frustrated with any cast members (just frustrated at Disney for creating this situation) - really just uncomfortable at times when checking out. Sometimes I would explain I'm DVC but not eligible for discounts (which half the...

    First time going since DVC, bought resale- Q

    This is the worst! We're also resale only and just went to WDW for the first time as a "DVC member" in April. It was awkward, and I found it to be super frustrating at times. I was never asked if I "had any discounts", rather I was always asked "are you DVC?" When asked at the Polynesian gift...

    Best Books on Planning for Epcot

    Good suggestions above ^ Also, while I agree printed is always out of date to a greater extent than online "print" - Not everything has changed since the last version of the Unofficial Guide. I still order that book before going to WDW. I got the kindle version last time...

    Tron Identity Program - experiences

    We did the Tron Identity Program today (4/5) and I thought I'd briefly post about our experience - we just got back from an extended evening at Magic Kingdom so I'm keeping this short as I need to get some sleep, but I'm happy to answer any questions when I'm back online. Overall summary: -...

    Thinking about trying a late day strategy at WDW

    I'll let you know... but I still haven't decided how to tackle the parks. I've got three weeks to come up with our strategy :) My parents will be joining us for the first half of the trip. They won't be doing any rides and most likely won't spend much time in the parks with us, but we have...

    Thinking about trying a late day strategy at WDW

    Thanks for the advice @coasternut22 ! I'll check out those videos. For this trip, we're thinking we're not going to try and do everything. We were exhausted at the end of our trip in 2019. That said, we want to hit all the new rides since 2019 (so Remy's, GoG, Tron, MRR, RoTR) and hit our...

    Thinking about trying a late day strategy at WDW

    Last time we were in WDW was 2019 - and we did our typical early morning strategy (with FP+ booked ahead of time) - trying to get to the parks before opening each morning. We'd usually follow a custom Touring Plans plan which had us wrapping up early afternoon, and then we'd head back to the...

    Is the Hoop Dee Doo show good or is it a nostalgia thing?

    I think the corniness is the one of the reasons to see it! I think @CaptainAmerica's take on it is pretty good. But you don't have to be someone that gets involved to enjoy it . Your kids may love it, or maybe not (depending on what they find funny - do they like campfire skits?) I honestly...

    Marceline to Magic Kingdom Tour

    How crowded is BLT pool right now?

    Thanks for clarifying CarolynFH! Yeah, makes sense that the message displayed on the DVC site isn't the same message they show for normal hotel reservations.

    How crowded is BLT pool right now?

    I'm also worried about this... and I'm wondering if there's any chance they'll complete the renovations early (We're planning a trip for the first week of April). Here's the statement on the DVC site: 2023 Refurbishments The feature pool and whirlpool spas at the adjacent Disney’s...

    Transplant

    Your doctor wasn't sure?.. and didn't bother to find out for you? I'm not a doctor, so my advice is to find a doctor who knows the answer... but, you wouldn't be the first transplant patient to ride on a roller coaster...
