    UK parks.

    We do UK parks too but it's cold here and it rains a lot. Try riding the river rapids when it's less than 50 degrees and raining in the summer. Or going on a hypercoaster when hailstone is hitting you in the face! I tried Disneyland Paris in July once. It was also cold there and it rained...

    What can I do about my upcoming August DVC points?

    That could be a good option if flights are out of the question. I didn't realise they had places in the UK. With any luck we will be allowed into Scotland soon.

    What can I do about my upcoming August DVC points?

    That's a lot of points to lose. Luckily (or unluckily) I had borrowed from 2021 so they can be put back and they will let me bank 2020 points. It's the one time use points I'm annoyed about because they won't refund them and won't let me transfer them. A friend of mine is an airhostess for...

    What can I do about my upcoming August DVC points?

    We were supposed to spend two weeks at end the end of August in DVC accommodation with the first week at AKV and the second week at BCV. I have just been advised by TUI that there will be no long haul flights out of the UK in 2020 (because you can't expect passengers to wear face masks the...

    No Artist Point ADRs past 11/8?

    I have been trying to get an ADR for Artist Point without success for dates between 10/23 and 11/5. It isn't usually hard to get a reservation at AP so I wondered if it was closed for refurb?

    Help please for first timer trying to book at 7 month window

    "People with the most success tend to be the most flexible in defining success and often are willing and able to do more work (checking the RAT several times a day) to make it happen." Thanks, I am an obsessive stalker (as I discovered last year when I was booking ADRs) so I will end up with...

    Help please for first timer trying to book at 7 month window

    Thanks for all the information. I am now considerably wiser than I was a few days ago and I now understand what stalking the RAT means!! I have had a re-think and instead decided to split my stay between AKV so we have a savannah studio at Kidani for the first week and a 1BR value at Jambo for...

    Split stay Disney and Universal

    We did this last October and it actually worked out cheaper for us to book the whole holiday at Animal Kingdom (good early deal plus free dining plan, car hire etc) as a package and then book Hard Rock Hotel via Trivago (sounds like a waste but it was cheaper!). We got free Universal fast passes...

    Help please for first timer trying to book at 7 month window

    Thanks Deb. Yes, I'm beginning to realise this is tougher than I'd anticipated! I've given up trying to swap on first week in November as the end of October seems slightly easier. I have a few points but only enough to book maybe 2 nights so I would need to cancel. If I waitlist 4 nights at...

    Help please for first timer trying to book at 7 month window

    Can somebody advise on the best way to go about attempting to try and secure a reservation at 7 months? We need a studio for 2 weeks late October early November (flights are already booked so no flexibility). As a back up I have booked my home resort at AKV but I have my heart set on BLT, Poly...
