    Boma on departure day

    I also think this is a workable plan, and I hope you enjoy it! DH and I have had Boma breakfast on departure day several times, but we've been driving so departure time wasn't critical. I think you're allowing plenty of time to visit AKL and to get to the airport. And yes, I agree that Bell...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Question to reassure myself I’m understanding GC fund transfers correctly. After I transfer $ from a digital card to a permanent card, I can delete the digital card completely and only need to keep the permanent one, right? If I spend $ from the permanent card and later get a refund, it goes...

    Help with reservation for Spring Break 2025

    When you modify your reservation, you can choose to keep the same villa size/view/etc. or to change it. The actual room you'll occupy isn't assigned until a week or so before you arrive.

    BLT Grand Villa During Refurb?

    Why would you not risk it? Noise and other problems related to construction, being bumped, etc.? Asking because we're considering trying for a TP view 2BR for marathon weekend (have BWV booked, but we'll have a 20 month old in a stroller, so we know MK will be a frequent destination).

    Help with reservation for Spring Break 2025

    You open the 7-night reservation, click Modify, then enter the same checkin date but the new, 8-night checkout date and go from there.

    Disney’s Magic Band FAQ Link

    Thanks. That may be why @nighttowll above is seeing Link in the top right of his phone, it's asking to pair for purposes of the Play Disney Parks app, not MDE.

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    Well, cleaning a soaker tub takes a lot less time than cleaning a jetted tub, if you're going to clean the jets every time a guest checks out of that villa. So the conversion from jetted to soaker tubs does help with this. But part of the problem - possibly a greater part of the problem - that...

    Fort Wilderness Cabins Cannot Stave Off Slow March 2024 Direct Sales

    If dues collected from owners don’t cover the full amount of operating and maintenance expenses, DVC makes up the shortfall. Dues are calculated by estimating those expenses and dividing by the number of points in the condo association. So if the number of unsold points is significant, DVC is...

    Purchased resale then direct still showing DVC ND

    Someone recently had the same question. It took a few days for the DVC-Y to appear but I can’t remember whether it was a week or actually after the 10-day rescission period expired.

    Fort Wilderness Cabins Cannot Stave Off Slow March 2024 Direct Sales

    The ironic thing is that the bathroom was between the living area and the bedroom in the cabins that are currently being removed. They moved it to allow them to reposition the queen and bunk beds.

    UK Resident - Purchasing DVC Questions - Help Needed

    Many DVC members stay away in summer if they can, due to heat and humidity. It also was originally one of the more expensive seasons, and DVC members are notoriously frugal with their points. That’s why studios are more popular than 1BR, since the sleeping capacity of studios is the same or even...

    Nielsen rating offer

    We too were a Nielsen family for a couple of years, some years back, and had the tracking devices you describe. I think we earned a couple of hundred dollars? Can't remember, but we were glad to be finished when our term was up!

    Sanaa early seating?

    I thought we had to cancel 2 hours before, in order to avoid the $10pp no-show penalty. Did it change?

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    Yes, I think cleaning between guests is the issue. Over the years I’ve read some reports here that were quite disgusting.

    Beach Club Villas to Disney's Hollywood Studios Question

    Be sure to walk to the Yacht & Beach boat dock, don’t backtrack to the IG boat dock even though it’s a shorter walk from BCV. The boat goes from IG to BW and then to Yacht & Beach, and catching the boat at IG adds at least 10 minutes to the ride, maybe more depending on how long it takes to load...
