Sit-down Dining Recs!
You are a SSR owner so stay at home and go to the Turf Club and the Turf Club Lounge. Both very underrated and never very crowded.

Quick Poll. Who is thinking of adding on or buying into Lake Shore Lodge?
In a different situation I would be thrilled to add to this resort. It's the best of both worlds, a Deluxe Resort Villa Hotel with easy access to all of the activities and amenities offered by Fort Wilderness and as a bonus I'm assuming the walking path to the WL will reopen as well so easy access to that resort too.

Hot Take: Lookout > Castaway
Good to know, going on a five night on the Dream in September and we do stops at both DCL islands and it will be our first visit to Lookout Point.
Quick Poll. Who is thinking of adding on or buying into Lake Shore Lodge?
We own at RIV and SSR and recently inherited BRV and 2057 OKW so no. Definite maybe if we hadn’t bought RIV in 2022.
Dream it forward?
Some of our table mates on a cruise with us last year joined DVC while on the boat and they told the DVC reps that my wife and I talked them into it so we got a $150 Disney Dining gift card emailed to us a few weeks later.
Do you still use a magic band?
I not only still use Magic Bands but I still use the very first Magic Band I got back in November 2013 (yes it still works).
WDW & Cruise Combo Trip Best Practices
I'm a huge fan of combining a Disney cruise with a trip to Vero Beach. This fall we are taking a five night on the Dream out of Fort Lauderdale followed by three nights at Vero Beach and then since our flight home is out of Orlando, one night in the Poly Tower before we head to the airport the next morning.
Disney Wonder - Sailing to Alaska
We've done the Alaska Cruise on the Wonder four times plus the Vancouver to Honolulu cruise so were fairly familiar with that ship and we love it. I want my cruise ship to be a place of relaxation, I don't need it to be a floating amusement park.

Thanks, my favorite part of Disney historical trivia is the stuff that didn't happen. Resorts, attractions, whole theme parks, some of which were in advanced planning stages and maybe even had construction started. Stuff like: Disney's America - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%27s_America WestCOT - https://en.wiki

Of further interest on this resort and the history of Disney's intent to have a lodge type hotel at or near that spot please see this article from World of Walt - https://worldofwalt.com/disneys-lakeshore-lodge-decades-in-the-making.html In the interest of transparency I will state that I am the author of the article.
Riviera Owners Thread
Welcome, it's a great resort. We had no intention of buying there but after a stay in 2021 we fell in love with the place and bought there in 2022.

Not sure about other resorts but Jambo and Kidani both have five bus stands - one for each park and one for DS so this would make sense.
Saratoga Springs Owners Threads
Thanks for posting those, everything looks great.
Resorts for babies/toddlers/small kids
Wilderness Lodge has a lot of great activities and kids like it a lot.

I think part of the issue here is that for those of us who stay almost exclusively at the DVC resorts 900+ rooms sounds really big because from our perspective it is but when you compare it to resorts in the Moderate and Value category, it is less than half the size of some of those. We also need to remember that a lot
Bay Lake Tower Owners Thread
I wonder if LSL will share buses with the WL? I assume the bus route for LSL will go down the access road that currently exists which means they will go right past the WL. Since the WL and Contemporary sometimes share buses (as does FW and the WL) this is not as crazy as it sounds.

What about the All-Star Resorts? Each only has one bus stop, they only have bus transportation, and they all have a lot more rooms than the Lakeside Lodge will. Port Orleans French Quarter has over 1000 rooms and only one bus stop. I believe Pop Century and Art of Animation (both of which are huge) have only one bus de

Correct me if I am wrong but the Contemporary only has one bus stop and between the A Frame, Bay Lake Tower, and the Garden Wing it has over 900 total rooms.
Membership Magic Beyond — Yay or Nay?
Worked my Membership Magic Beyond overtime today. Called to renew the APs but due to points availability and borrowing and all of that other good stuff I was 13 points short of the 130 I needed so I bought 7 one time use points and got 7 more for free (paid 157 total after taxes for the 7 points). So today I got to tak
