    We are trying to find a recommendation for our party of 7 for airport transfers from the airport to the Marriott and then post cruise back to the airport. Has anyone found a service they recommend?

    Ready to Take the Plunge...Advice Needed

    Thanks for this input. We have 3 boys: 12, 10, 6 so I feel like if they end up not loving the whole sharing a couch idea, they can "rough" it on the floor as they get older!!! We have rented points and stayed at VGF, Poly, Boulder Ridge Villas, BC and AKL. My kids love Poly but I would prefer...

    Ready to Take the Plunge...Advice Needed

    Thanks! I agree as we prefer the older resorts and as a family of 5, we can't even do 1 one bedroom at copper Creek! I am hoping the Next Reflections Resort may have some options.

    Ready to Take the Plunge...Advice Needed

    After many months of going back and forth, doing our due diligence, etc...my DH and I are about 95% sure we are ready to take the plunge into DVC membership. We are a family of 5, travel to Disney about every 12-18 months, typically rent points and want some control over our reservations. We...

    Anyone nervous to do their taxes?

    I do our taxes via TurboTax yearly and have no clue what to expect with all the new rules, etc. We will just wait and see because we typically itemize and the good thing about turbotax is after going through that process, it will tell you what deduction is better to take for your situation...

    Family of 5 - Want Value Resort Prices

    I agree here! As a family of 5, we always always check the occupancy. If some say 4, we would always call and inquire before booking to see if a younger child counted and many were great and would accommodate. I mean we aren't trying to pack 5 college kids into a room!

    Family of 5 - Want Value Resort Prices

    We started renting points when we became a family of 5. I would also look at moving offsite to a good neighbor hotel that affords similar benefits except Magical Express. The Dolphin rooms sleep 5 and that is a great property onsite that has some nice discounts too.

    Hello. Everyone that I keep talking to that has cruised Alaska keeps discussing the Alaska Dog Camp excursions where you can see the sled dogs and the kids can interact with them.

    Best Travel Cup - Yeti or Something Else?

    We are fans of YETI, Hydroflsk and Swell but have also discovered Simple Modern recently and have bought their products with no issues. We usually get our boys water bottles from SM as the price point is more easy to swallow especially for kids that may lose them.

    Thanksgiving help

    Thanksgiving has become one of our new favorites since we can only go during school holidays. We have had years where it was busier in the early part of the week and dead at the end of the week and then we have had the opposite. We typically do other parks on Thanksgiving other thank MK. This...

    4 in a room...How do I maximize space?

    We found a circular shoe holder with shelf space that we hang on the inside of the closet. This way we have added shelves plus room for shoes. We just use a hanging toiletry bag and it works wonder.

    Red Tide-algae bloom??? Florida residents

    We actually went from Aug 11-18 to AMI. We decided to try and see before we made any decisions. Our first three days on the gulf side were fine. The water on the northern part, where we were staying was fine. Very few fish, no odor, etc.. That all changed Tuesday late night/Wed and horseshoe...

    Private Booking Whale Watch

    If you have recently sailed Alaska and booked a private whale watch that allowed a group of 7 and children, could you please share your experience. I am having a difficult time finding one that will accommodate more than 6 and that also allows children. Thank you!

    Red Tide-algae bloom??? Florida residents

    We are currently trying to change our plans as we are due to arrive on AMI on Saturday. We fly into Tampa so wondering if venturing to the east coast for a few days then finding a resort in Orlando is worth it or what we should do. Unfortunately, we have a rental and the rental agencies are...
