BoardWalk Villas Owners Thread
In the 2 story the laundry machines are on the second floor. I'm the one who does the laundry so that's a pain for me! Those tiny fridges gotta go though!

BoardWalk Villas Owners Thread
That booking change happened back in March (I posted about it on the other place) and I'm happy to see it. I've gotten the 2 story one twice! when I wanted the one story.
Epic Universe - General Discussion
I think they're modeling themselves on Disney's system. They've been doing some single passes lately. I don't think I'd pay for Hagrid's personally but I'm sure a lot would.

I think people are just wishcasting that the queue is going to be better. They will start selling single ride express and it will be the same except Uni gets more money. I always stay at a premier hotel and the 3 times I've used express on Hagrids the line was never shorter than 40-45 mins.

Just reading they are revoking express pass for Hagrid's 😡. You know they're gonna sell single passes anyway.
First Haircut @ Magic Kingdom
Excuse the photo quality this was in 2003! The famous Michal cutting my son's hair. My son is 9 months old here and had already had a trim at home lol so much hair. Anyway it's a favorite memory because Hildegard came into the barbershop and interacted with everyone! I think the barbershop quartet did too but I am not

I'm back from my trip and Sunday the 16th was my Epic day. We got done what we wanted to but that probably wouldn't have happened without Early Park Admission (stayed at Portofino). We got Ministry, Hiccups Wing Gliders, Dragon Racers Rally, Monsters Unchained and Curse of the Werewolf done before 11:30am. The only wai
New Owner Booking Tips/Tricks
The 11 month window hasn't opened yet, you'll be fine getting BWV when it does. Maybe not standard view as those seem to be walked year round. That's assuming your points are loaded, I'm not familiar with how long that takes.
The decision matrix/struggle of deciding direct/resale
I wasn't speaking to magical beginnings (because I didn't think of that aspect when buying and a good move for sure) , just that you are entitled to current year points if you buy before the start of your use year. You can sell back or keep and bank/use!
The decision matrix/struggle of deciding direct/resale
I'm also of the opinion that at some point those with resale Riv points are going to be fighting for their lives to book studios there even at 11 months. It will likely take a long time for that to happen, but it will.
The decision matrix/struggle of deciding direct/resale
Yes there is an advantage. If you buy direct with a Sept. use year, 2026 points start in Sept (obviously) but you buy prior to Sept they are required to give you the 2025 use year points since you're still in it.
Plans for contracts expiring in 2042?
Bought BWV in 2003 and we'll be holding. I had a 18m old when we bought, now my kids are 24 and almost 22 and they still come with us once a year. Back then I couldn't imagine that we would still be going yearly with the kids and enjoying it 23ys on but here we are. If I was younger I would sell right now and buy somet
Annual Passes or No?
We've had annual passes for a long time, since they were like $300 😭. We're out of state and do the two annual trips in one ap year, not renewing just getting a new one to line up with trips. Now we are eligible for florida resident passes because we recently bought a vacation home in sw florida so it's likely we'll g
Bought Sight Unseen
We bought BWV in 2003 never having stayed there (I think we had been to jellyrolls though). We called to buy SSR pre-opening and they offered BWV (this was after they tore down the sales center out back and more points were declared) and we jumped at it. Also bought BLT in '09 the year it opened before staying (althoug
Legacy resale contract and adding children to the deed
My understanding is the contract won't change status and you will both get blue card status.

Encouraging!! We're staying at Portofino so will have early entry, I'm hoping we can get most things done since I can't go back but the others have a hoppers and can.
Epic Universe - General Discussion
I've read that Sunday is a great day for Epic? How were the crowds? I'm going on the 16th.
What is an extra that is worth the value?
We also rented a cabana there once and were up overlooking the wave pool. It was awesome and something I'd love to do again. Keys to the Kingdom is definitely worth it, plus you get a discount :). Oh, the old pirate cruise at Yacht Club! My son still talks about that and he's 24 now lol. Worth every dime because kids w
Epic Universe - General Discussion
I have not been yet. I'm an out of state AP holder and I'm coming down in a few weeks in a group of 4 and they will have 3 park hoppers. This means I had to buy a one day ticket. I'm already dreading the day due to everything I've ever read/watched about Epic. I only have one day and if it's a day with lots of ride dow
