Lakeshore Lodge (Future) Owners Thread
Does it look like the room layouts will be similar to the Poly Tower? With our Poly points already, it may be nice to have a room that has a different overall layout rather than the same thing with different interior design.
Lime Dole Whip
They use it in a drink at the Poly pool bar but I was able to get it without alcohol one time as well. I would not recommend the margarita with dole whip in case you're an adult and looking for a drink. It was not my favorite.
Disney ownership outside of DVC - Disney Golden Oak & StoryLiving by Disney
I don't currently see the benefit in Cotino (I live in the same area). They are expensive properties! There's some Disney magic in the downtown area but the homes are tract homes by three different builders. If they did a custom home section then I'd be knocking down their door to build though! I would have enjoyed a f
Best Travel Camera - Kids Activity
We ended up picking up two camp snap cameras. We'll see how they do when we make it to the park in October. They are not low light cameras... it's going to be an outdoor day time camera. It does remind me of growing up with the first digital cameras..... not great but it'll be fun for the kiddos.
Bay Lake Tower Owners Thread
Any tips or tricks for BLT? I'm assuming all dining is in the Contemporary but are there shops or arcades at BLT? The closest I've been to it is the lobby after walking from Magic Kingdom to get an uber. How is monorail traffic during opening and closing? Is it difficult to get to the TTC during the morning?
Just in case Josh D'Amaro ever reads these forums for research reasons.. Let's give him some genius ideas to take Disney to the next level.
This August trip we just completed was the first time we stepped foot in that area of the park. We went back in 2006 and didn't plan a thing so we didn't know what we didn't know. The next three trips just weren't planned in. We finally got to Fixture this last go and I will say that I enjoyed the time but could see ho
Credit Cards for DVC Megathread
I've been leaning towards getting rid of all credit cards and just going 100% debit, but until then we use an Amex Platinum for some perks like Clear+/TSA Precheck, Visa Inspire for it's new benefits and Disney Related items, and my wife has a Hilton card she uses for some other perks (we actually go places other than
How Many Days…
28 days - Sept 11 - my wife got a waitlist opening at VGF for a night for our 22 anniversary. Been once back before we had children. Now that we have 4 kids we tend to go to WDW instead so this'll be a fun quick trip.
Copper Creek Villas Owner Thread
Not sure this should be a separate question or not - @ Poly, the art kiosk has some Poly art options but when we were at Wilderness Lodge it didn't have that selection. Are you able to purchase art from any of the rooms?
Polynesian Villas Owners Thread
We just got back.... didn't stay on property this time b/c we're out of points ( Definitely spoiled getting to stay on property). We did go to Poly for Lunch @ Wailulu which was excellent! That was our first time there and the food was proper delicious. My wife has a gluten sensitivity but all but the ahi tuna nacho ap
Is the Disney Dining Plan a Bad Value?
After just paying for Tusker House without a dining plan, I will say my wife should always do the dining plan. i thought the 40% off was the normal price. LOL.... still love it!
Upcoming 2026 Trips (Disney and Other)
Surprise trip started yesterday - out of points but still "on property" and enjoying the parks. Its warm being overcast and a little rain has been nice. Its 115 at home so being here is nice right now. ;)
Is the Disney Dining Plan a Bad Value?
It definitely helps to curb the spending fatigue that sets in (for me).
Pin trading
Our kids do some pin trading for fun purposes so if they end up with a fake pin it's ok. If they purchase a pin, we make note of it so they don't accidentally trade it later. I will say that I caught a little of the pin bug but not for trading. We purchased some Holiday party pins, the DVC member pins, and a couple rid
Random Club 33 question for the DVC crowd
I have a friend that they're family went to Club 33 via a business that had a membership. That's about the closest "degree" I have to Club 33. Would be a blast though! I'd have to get even more DVC points if that happened.
Quick Poll. Who is thinking of adding on or buying into Lake Shore Lodge?
I worry about the resale restrictions as well but if the price/deal is extremely good AND we enjoy the property then it might be hard to pass up.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party vs Jollywood Nights
We went to both last Christmas - Went to Jollywood Nights with two other adults and my wife and I went alone to the MVMCP. I would recommend Jollywood over MVMCP based on our personal preference. I didn't have any expectations beyond a video I watched @ DVCFAN so we went in knowing there would be food and some fun. For
New DVC Survey - 18% or $6.6k Discount
That condo meeting will be a great thread to read!
Hoop De Doo
Hoop De Doo has become a Hoop De Must - We brought it up with the kids for the upcoming October trip and all four don't want to miss it. We took our friends last December to Hoop De Doo and they all enjoyed it (want to go back for our Bonus trip this year!). I haven't met a person that doesn't love it after going. And,
