    JW Marriott Bonnet Creek or Grande Lakes?

    Anyone have a preference?? We're going for spring break with 3 kids (13, 11, 10) and will mostly hang at the resort. Probably won't do parks. Which has a better pool and kid activities? And easy access to other restaurants and things to do? I think I'm leaning towards Bonnet Creek but would love...

    Blizzard Beach Questions

    We're driving in from Cocoa Beach on Tuesday for a day at Blizzard Beach....Is the 11am opening firm or do let people in earlier to avoid crowding at entry? Trying to decide what time to get there. We want to maximize our day :) Thanks!!

    Kids Nite Out

    We've used them twice over the last 5 years. Very satisfied both times. It's expensive but so is everything at Disney. LOL.

    Booking Aulani for Christmas 2021

    We purchased at Aulani last year and this will be our first trip there. I'm still learning the ins and outs of DVC so thanks for your patience :) Planning for 7 days (12/26/21 - 1/2/22) in a 2-bedroom Island view. I know that's a busy time of year...Should I attempt to walk the reservation or...

    Help me decide on a room!

    Thanks! Yes, that's kinda what I'm thinking as well. Definitely leaning towards the 2-bedroom. We own at Aulani so can book at 11 months. Hopefully availability won't be an issue!

    Help me decide on a room!

    We're planning to go to Aulani (first time!) in December 2021 for 1 week. There's 5 of us - DH, me, DD13, DS11, DS10. We have sufficient DVC points to get a 2-bedroom Island Gardens View room. OR I can go with a 1-bedroom Ocean View. I'm torn between more space and less view or less space and...

    Banking & Borrowing question

    Thanks! So there's no restriction on banked points? Only borrowed? That would make me super happy :)

    Banking & Borrowing question

    I'm sure this has been asked but I've spent 30 minutes searching and no luck so far so my apologies for a duplicate question and thanks for your patience :) OK, the 50% restriction...If I own 200 points, can I bank 100 points (50%) and borrow 100 points (50%) to then make a 400 point...

    Thoughts for a 3 day cruise for a first timer?

    Just stay on the ship in Nassau. We did that for our first cruise (3 nights) and LOVED it! The boat was relatively quiet and we really got to enjoy the amenities.

    Day-before ADR cancellations?

    I've got two ADRs that I really want to adjust the times for but after continuously checking for 2 months still no luck. Does anyone have insight into "day before" availability? I'm thinking since cancellations have to be 24 hours out, then I might have luck if I keep refreshing the app. We are...

    Disney's ART OF ANIMATION RESORT Information & Questions

    Does Art of Animation have valet service? I'm arriving late at night, wrangling my 3 very young kids, by myself. I will happily pay someone to get my bags to my room very quickly. Thanks!

    ELSA dress hunt!!!

    I went to our local store this morning. About 20-30 people there by 10. There was no raffle - just a beeline for the checkout counter. This wasn't explained - people just started moving very fast in that direction - some not so nicely. One woman walked up right at 10, elbowed me out of the way...
