Fireworks showtimes have been announced and it's all 3 days across Epcot and Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney World July 4 Fireworks Show schedule Disney's Celebrate America! – A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky: July 3, 4, and 5 at 9pm (Magic Kingdom) The Heartbeat of Freedom: July 3, 4, and 5 at 9:15pm (EPCOT)
You can certainly do both, but it might be one of those the sum is lesser than the parts. It also depends on what you want to do, i.e. are you trying to get all the ride in, etc? We're local and go for a few hours at a time when we go, but if I was traveling in, I still would not park hop. Both Epcot and HS are full da
December, its what they gave us. So glad they did because it resets for the busiest times of year. January would have bene good too because we don't really book in December anyway.
Completely agree and this one is actually huge and should not be taken lightly. As time goes on, resale value should be weighed against usable resorts. If you're ok with the existing inventory before Riviera, by all means, but with every new resort the FOMO will kick in (for me at least:))
FYI: These are now open for everyone, even without room stays. Got our tickets for October 2nd... last day that you can use the DVC discount..
Update, its good but no closer than daily zen. So thats my recommendation. Actually mixing the two gets even closer but Daily Zen alone is good too.
I've gone down this rabbit hole myself :) After recommendations I bought Method's Daily Zen and it's very close, I would say 80% of the way there and 'acceptable'. I just looked again and they have a new (I believe) smell called sea and salt that I just bought one to try to see if it's any closer. I'll report back when
This isn't true, only actual Florida Residents can get the Pixie Dust and Pirate passes.. DVC unlocks the Sorcerer pass for non Florida Residents but not the others. For the Florida Resident passes, you actually need an ID with a Florida address or a utility bill.. DVC property doesn't count.
We'll also be there during the 4th of July weekend! Booked it long ago as I knew this was going to be a huge weekend given the 250th celebration. My favorite part is the laid back feel of the entire resort and honestly the buses aren't too bad. My least favorite is parking and lack of elevators :(
2042 is a long time away and There's been a "new" resort every 2 years... if this keeps up, there will be another 10 resorts before these expire... On top of some of the 2042's getting put back into the system after a refresh (BWV/BCV) imo.
These are exactly my criteria.. Any check in "day" is a waste of points IMO because who knows when the room will be ready. For this reason we do not stay just a single night, ever, becaues you never get a chance to enjoy the resort, imo.
This 100%. The only real reason to choose direct over resale, in my opinion, is restricted resort availability. This is huge for me and why I ended up going with direct... that and OKW direct points were on sale for ~160pp 2 years ago when we bought our first contract(s). We bought a 150-point contract, quickly realize
Hopefuly Soarin.. too hold for roller coasters :D
450 points across three direct contracts. We usually stay OKW 1 Bedroom because they go way farther than most. We have a 10 day stay (OKW 1 BR) in July and it's only 276 points which means we can stay about 16 days a year or so if we stretch studios for the remainder. We will almost certaily be getting more points in t
We were in your shoes last year as WDW APs, here's our breakdown. Outside of the iconic rides, we priorizted only those that existed at DLR so most duplicates we didn't ride at either park. Haunted Mantion: Better/longer at WDW but more iconic at a DLR. Pirate: Hands down better at DLR, way longer, better to ride at ni
By June of 2027... and it might not sell out, just fade into the back, especially when LSL is announced, put on sale. If you want Riviera at any sort of discount, the next few quarters will probably be the best you'll get. They might even have an end of FY (which ends September 27th) push this year to get the rest "sol
Probably not as it’s automatically added to your tickets in My Disney Experience based on your check in day(s). That being said, it would better to call Disney to findout, perhaps they havesome flexibility on this but I wouldn’t count on it.
Don't have experience with resale, but direct points are added same day you agree to buy even before you sign the official documents.
About how many points did you end up calculate and for how many months if you don't mind me asking?
