News Round Up 2017

I have never had a dole whip. But, from pictures, it seems like soft serve ice cream with two flavours swirled together? (or on top of pineapple juice, or with run)

But we have that here! All over the place, admittedly the swirl is usually strawberry or chocolate, but, is that all it is?

I mean, I like soft serve ice cream, but, is there something special to the WDW kind?

Pineapple-vanilla soft serve swirl. Great combo that we can't get around here anywhere. Lucky you if you can!

Regular Dole whip is just pineapple soft serve - so sort of like a sorbet soft serve and it is dairy free

All excellent points -- agreed. :thumbsup2

Every now and then I just like to make the point that DVC CAN be a good deal -- still. What has shifted is the "right buyer" into a slightly higher bracket.

I just always think about how some people reading who don't know DVC or timeshare at all might be scared off, when in fact it might save them money over the years, depending on how they vacation.

I agree if you regularly stay deluxe, or if you prefer larger rooms because of the size of your family, there's still certainly value in buying DVC, and even potentially value in direct buying. I clearly believe there's value in resale, since I just bought a second contract. It's saved us money in two ways: (1) nicer accomodations for a similar price and (2) because of the money we invested in our resorts, we have cut back on TS restaurants, now only doing 4-5 a trip instead of 8-9, so actually we probably spend slightly less on trips now than we did before DVC and we used to stay at moderates and now we stay deluxe...so yes there's definitely value there!

Reminds me a few years ago when there was a bunch nch of bad press (dirty bathrooms, some bad CM stories, etc) ... and then they released purple as an option for MBs and it was like everything was forgiven

Actually they got me when the re-re-designed the Tiki Room to the original configuration. I pretty much said I would forgive any sin as long as that stays open...so here I am and here I stay.
 
I guess I haven't forgiven some of the past "smack downs" - er "enhancements", but since Disney is my big "thing" I don't see much alternative. Rather than forgive, I guess I just "accept" and move on. When I can no longer accept their "enhancements", that's when I stop going.

Bottom line is that Disney like is that one person we dated a few years back where all of our friends and family kept saying they were not good for us because they treated us so poorly. They were full of promises, constantly told us one thing and did another, and often took away the things we liked. Never the less, we always forgave them even though we knew it would probably happen again. Sometimes we end up married to that person and are able to find happiness regardless of the faults of the relationship.

At the end of the day we keep going back to Disney because some portion of the relationship struck such a cord with us that staying involved was worth the risk. We all find Disney worth it or we would not be here to read what they might do next. What can we say, we love Disney... Witch warts and all.

Well, if you were dating the best looking person in the world, it might be similar. pirate: arghhh.

Disney doesn't really have any comparable alternatives, at least in my opinion. Been to most all of its competitors, and nobody has that feeling. That to me is the reason I go back all the time.
