    RIV: Electric car chargers have been broken for more than a month

    We watched a YouTube video from a guy who rigged up a portable generator and fuel tank to his Tesla to self-charge for a 1k+ mile road trip. He got about 18 mpg. There‘s a solution!

    Hey! Coming back to say we scored a Poly villa for 2 full weeks in Sept 2023! We are so excited! I tried not to get my hopes up too much but it all worked out in the end. Thanks again!

    Hubby and I are *hoping* to rent points for a Poly villa for 2 weeks in Sept 2023 to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Is this going to be hard to get the availability? Are the Poly villas difficult to get? I don't want to get my hopes up too much if it's unrealistic but we really loved our...

    Do you know where in Orlando they were taken back to? The airport?

    We’ve been using a TA for a decade and oftentimes when it’s time to go to bat, it’s taken care of before I know anything about it. This is the first time it’s not worked out. The bigger problem is Disney making changes without properly informing their call center cast and the agents that sell...

    Since DCL will not allow us a refund or sailing date change unless we test positive at the port and are denied boarding (we booked VGT) we needed to make a plan. I’m not leaving this to chance or DCL since they are unreliable at best at this point. We have 4 round trip flights booked with...

    And if you don’t like the answer just keep calling back. The answer will change.

    I thought the vaccine would be the thing we had to do which, admittedly, is the biggest reason we rushed to get it the moment we could back in March. And now this. I mean, at the time we booked fully vaxxed passengers were good to go. Proof of full vaccination and welcome aboard. I’ve done...

    My 25 year old son in his infinite wisdom nailed it when I was whining to him about our predicament: “Mom, that’s why I told y’all I won’t be booking any cruises with any cruise line until everything is back to normal. You are handing them your money then they can drag you around by a noose...

    Lucky! My TA said when she called they told her restricted rate cannot be cancelled until we are there and denied boarding. It’s like calling your cell phone carrier or (in our case) dealing with the IT people at work. If you get an unhappy answer just hang up and call back. If I had the...

    But does that apply to restricted guaranteed rates? It doesn't say either way. My money is on nope.

    Is flying even an option if you’ve tested positive? Doesn’t matter if you had a negative test after. I think the question is have you had a positive test. If you answer yes I don’t think any airline, train, or bus will even take you - Disney arrangements or no. So the question is are there...

    If you have a positive Covid test you can’t fly. Pretty sure ALL mass transit like buses or trains are also no longer an option. Gonna need to rent a car. Sure hope they have enough. I cringe at the thought of how much that 1-way rental will even cost. Thats the situation for me. I did...

    We are fully vaxxed. We have been told that we will get a full refund or reschedule if we test positive at the port and are denied boarding. This does not help with somewhere to go, how you get back home, etc. That’s still your problem. Disney hasn’t said anything about what their plans are...

    You’re right. At the time I entered the agreement I met the conditions to sail without the stressful variable of questionable accuracy testing. If my ability to sail was going to be based upon testing I never would’ve booked. Pretty frustrating. I wonder where Covid positive people get to...

    #3 cracks me up. So a positive test will get you a retest. That’s great! If that one comes back negative how do you know which is accurate? They gonna do a 3rd test? Are we to keep testing until 1 renders the result we want? How does this accomplish the original goal? It’s a pretty...

    Because the tests are not reliable, especially Insta-tests. The test may say positive but are you? Even DCL isn’t confident in the tests because they’re willing to retest. A whole slew of things can cause a positive test. It’s a known problem.

    Herein lies the question: what do they plan to do for guests who can’t board? We are trying to be responsible and avoid the issue altogether. I want to know what they plan to do with fully vaxxed guests who can’t board. So much for a relaxing getaway….. they’re gonna need a bar at the port...

    Just heard back. No option to cancel or reschedule if you booked a restricted guaranteed rate....unless you test positive at the port and are denied boarding. Then they'll refund you. #1. I'm calling the travel insurance people to find out what is/is not covered for getting us back home...
