    We are actually the weird in betweeners who can book Riviera, but have no other perks.

    Animal Kingdom Lodge (AKL) Direct Sales Incentive

    We are current resale owners at AKL considering this. We would sell our resale contract when the market comes back a little bit. We would end up with 40 more points than we currently have, plus the annual pass savings x 4 people. We just wish financing options were better right now...

    ***Official January 2023 Thread***

    Mobile ordering with DVC membership discount

    Mine automatically did it for the two places that offered it. Table service to go is the only mobile order that would qualify.

    Picky Kid at Signature Restaurants

    California Grill has never had a problem making a cheese flatbread pizza for my kids since they have flatbreads on the adult menu. Yachtsman will be harder since the Yacht Club QS doesn't currently have chicken nuggets on the menu.

    Family Style Question WRT Allergies/Preferences

    Pre-Covid answer, but we were always brought the allergy and vegan plates in addition to the regular offerings, not instead of. We've dined several times at family style places with different groups and this has been the case at all of them. I have a shellfish allergy, my daughter has a...

    Sebastian’s Bistro - kids offerings

    Here is a bump for you. I'm wondering the same thing. My oldest would at least try most of the current offerings, but my youngest might eat rolls and dessert. It's a toss up with a preschooler - she might try it all, or she might turn up her nose at all of it.

    New strategies for park rides!!!!

    We are making a general to do list for each day. Then after that we will just see what the wait times are. With a 10 day trip we have 2 days at each park and an extra half day at DHS and MK. I have a 6 year old who likes to know the "plan" and be mentally prepared so we will make enough of...

    September crew... what are you doing?

    You might see if they will take a negative test in lieu of a 2 week quarantine. Several places around here have announced 2 week quarantine or a negative test 3-4 days after you return.

    Rider swap with ROTR

    We did rider swap last Friday. We all went to the blockade of resistance and let them know we had boarding passes. We then were sent to other workers inside the ropes to obtain our rider swap passes. Just like other rides, 3 people can have them added to their bands. I was able to leave the...

    In line for the bus at Pop. Just missed the 6:05 bus. Still standing here at 6:20 staring at a Magic Kingdom double bus with no line. Definitely more than one bus of people waiting.

    Mickey at Town Square

    Is Mickey back to meeting by himself? Is he back to being a magician or is he in his holiday outfit?

    Waiting in Line Question

    Depending on your comfort level, at 13 the cast member should be willing to take him/her through the chicken exit by themselves to the unloading area to meet you. If waiting the length of the ride alone isn't a problem everyone else can still ride.

    How do you manage all the toys?

    We take pictures during the first half of the trip of what they might want. I save them in an album on my phone. Then while waiting for the bus or hanging out in the room, they can peruse their choices. Around halfway through the trip (day 4 or 5) we try to get them to lean toward a decision...

    Favorite souvenirs of kids?

    We let our girls pick one special item each trip and then they help pick one ornament for the family. They have some gift card money to cover it, but we help a little if needed. Last time my 2 year old picked out an Aurora Barbie type doll which she rarely plays with. Her grandparents who...

    Upgrade from QSDP to DDP?

    What time of year are you going? We did a 10 day trip last fall where we upgraded our free QSDP to the standard plan. We did a couple of signature meals and then used snack credits at the festival booths to make up for the "missing" meals. We found with the character meals our kids wanted to...
