    Magic band + shipping

    Maybe my experience will help someone else who ends up in the same boat… I ordered our 3 bands 7/30. We arrived yesterday, the 14th. I had suspected they wouldn’t arrive in time so I contacted customer support and they emailed me saying that the bands would be waiting for us at the resort. Three...

    Magic band + shipping

    I think I have a little Disney mystery on my hands. Should be fun to see how it shakes out. I emailed Customer Service back (I posted the first exchange) and asked for the bands to be shipped to my resort because they wouldn’t make it to my home by Sunday. I got a response back saying they...

    Magic band + shipping

    We arrive this Sunday, 8/15. I ordered ours on 7/30 through MDE and my order also says “In Process”. I emailed customer service to see if we could possibly have them delivered to the resort instead to ensure we get the bands and this was the response: “Your MagicBand order is currently...

    "Official" 2022 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Boo this!

    If anyone else was wondering, I called DVC Member Services today and the CM I spoke with said members cannot enter at 2:00 like in previous years/parties. I guess I am not surprised but I am selfishly a teeny bit bummed! Maybe this will change, but that’s what I was told today. Maybe someone...

    "Official" 2022 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Boo this!

    It’s our first and possibly only time attending the party so I think we’ll want to be front & center to get the full experience. I have never tried the behind the castle viewing (save for one night walking out if BOG dinner during Wishes)but I should try it sometime.

    "Official" 2022 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Boo this!

    I am also on the fence about the dessert party - totally hear ya! I so love the MK fireworks and deeply hate feeling smooshed in a crowd, so that’s my draw. I also want to make it through this vacation without getting sick with COVID (I teach and start back to school right after we return- don’t...

    "Official" 2022 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Let's Boo this!

    We have tickets for our first MNSSHP 8/16, which surprisingly sold out. I am a little bummed about that, TBH, because I fear massive crowds will make the night less enjoyable but we’ll find the joy no matter what. The only other party I have attended was for MVMCP and I thought for that one DVC...

    Waitlist Question

    Oh gosh thank you so much. I haven't done this before and am so grateful for your info! I did just make the waitlist last night, so I don't have much advantage as far as my place in line goes. I assume by your post that I can set up the replacement WL online, so I will head off and do that now...

    Waitlist Question

    I am hoping someone who knows about waitlisting could help me with this question/situation. Getting through to Member Services today is not looking good and I am feeling a little eager to book this reservation before it disappears. I had to cancel a trip in September due to a family emergency...

    Child has irrational fear of rain and thunder - help!

    Check out the work by Lynn Lyons. She has an incredibly powerful way of helping kids get a handle on their worries and explains how sometimes our best efforts as parents/caregivers, reinforce the worry. She changed my life. Honestly! She has a great website, a few recorded talks, and a book...

    Disney's PORT ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER RESORT Information & Questions

    We stayed at POFQ last week and took the bus to AK for Moonlight Magic. We got on the bus at FQ at 5:50 and arrived at AK at 6:25. Went to every blessed stop at POR. The last time we stayed at POFQ, (a few years ago), we didn't share buses so this was new for us. It was a bit of a bummer - had...

    *** The Official August 2019 thread ***

    We came back on Friday, and I am so thankful to come read all of your trip reports, because I have this bittersweet feeling in my heart missing our trip and recalling all the memories we made. Reading about everyone's trips makes me feel so much better! We spent 9 days and I was worried that...

    *** The Official August 2019 thread ***

    I was thinking of this August crew today as I repeatedly checked the My Radar app and saw the heat index was up to 107 in Orlando. That calls for more than a pool day. That calls for frozen drinks and a whole lot of AC! I don't know if I've ever felt air that hot before ! I think we have a...

    Pressed Penny Machines still exist?

    Couldn't agree more with this. There's something about the tangible factor of the 51 cent machines that makes it appealing for us. I remember when my daughter was too small to crank them herself, and that big feeling of accomplishment that came when she could do it without help. Not to mention...

    *** The Official August 2019 thread ***

    Thanks for the warning and I totally understand the moral obligation. Our reservation is early (4:30), and we'll be doing a pool day before that so at least we won't have easy access to park snacks. I usually have to force feed on a pool day anyway because that means coming out of the water. I...

    *** The Official August 2019 thread ***

    Hello Fellow August Peeps! I am a little bit of a newcomer to The Dis and somehow just found this thread. It has been so fun to read through everyone's plans for their upcoming trip. We are heading down on 8/14 and staying for an all-time-longest-family-vacation record of 10 days. I'm a little...

    Question about activating Annual Passes

    I am so glad to read this thread. Activating our AP at DS was my plan for our August trip. Sounds like I should reconsider that... and I will! I'm sorry to hear of your experience, but by sharing it you saved an unsuspecting victim. :) Thanks!

    OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

    So excited for our first trip to OKW in 18 days! With the online check-in, I selected the Turtle Pond or Peninsular Road areas hoping they would be the most quiet/peaceful. In looking at the map, I see that some of the Turtle Pond area seems close to Bonnet Creek Parkway. I am wondering: do you...

    Official AK Moonlight Magic Discussion

    Argh! That was totally my strategy/plan! I figured the RoL showing at 10 might decrease the ride lines. Foiled! I also did hear that the posted waits were longer than the actual waits, but still... we have a FP for FoP earlier in the evening, so that might be our one and done. I am not a good...
