    Vero Beach SB trip with young teens

    My family is spending Spring Break at Vero Beach this year. We will have a car. I could use a few day trip adventure ideas with the 13yo girl and 15yo boy. What are the good casual restaurants in the area? Best pizza? For activities, I was thinking about an airboat ride, dolphin ride or...

    RCI-App Chat Details

    Follow-up: We used the RCCL app for messaging with no internet package and it mostly worked. Only snag was my daughter was too young to use messaging. I received the 'notification' when she tried to message me but we could never get it to work. However, she was always with my son who was old...

    RCI-App Chat Details

    Six of us are setting sail soon on the Mariner of the Seas. We all have iPhones and no one has bought an internet/wi-fi package. I would prefer to stay off the internet for a week if possible. I am trying to figure out if we can all use the new App chat feature to communicate on the ship...

    New Orleans recommendations needed, what have you done there?

    We did a combined Laura and Oak Alley Plantation tour that was amazing. It is not far from downtown New Orleans. Laura plantation is where the infamous Br'er Rabbit stories were recorded for the first time. It was a female owned creole plantation. Lots of stories and a unique history. Oak...

    Can you explain how the Disney VISA 0% interest offer works?

    I believe the special promo balance is on your statement in a separate section under activity. We paid the activity balance plus (1/6th) of the initial package balance each month. The funds were applied as expected doing that. I watched the promo balance gradually decline while paying zero...

    BLT Skybridge

    I don't think the safety issue is the weight limit either. I am concerned about a sudden panic and trample effect. I had to yell "excuse us" on the last walk home and the poor woman pushing a stroller in front of us thought it was directed at them. I can see tempers flaring from that.

    BLT Skybridge

    The fireworks viewing on the skybridge is frustrating and getting worse. The Contemporary Resort has many places to view the show but all the elevated free ones appear to be closed right now. I am not crazy. I know people will always stop to watch on the bridge. But it should be impromptu...

    Help? Am I over thinking it?

    We went for a use year with the month ending before our typical vacation month. That way we always have "new" points ready for the trip.

    Questions before purchasing DVC

    1. Buy where you want to stay. Never assume a compromise is a good vacation. And, never assume the 7 month window will have what you want. 2. Resale is easy. That's why Disney constantly removes perks from resale buyers. The only tricky part is ROFR. 3. I like small contracts with a...

    DVC and Disney Chase 0%

    This is probably a simple No, but I'll try again this year. Anyone know if there are any current "Disney Packages" without a Resort that are eligible for 0% financing? Our next trip is in June with DVC rooms already booked.

    Outer Banks?

    Duck and Kitty Hawk appear close on the map. However, they are connected by a thin one lane road traveling north and south. Expect very long delays from the bridge north to Duck on the weekends. On weekdays it's much better.

    CHASE VISA TERMS Changed....Can someone clarify??

    Citibank did this with Venmo last year. Basically you cannot transfer a person borrowed money without a fee. was fun while it lasted.

    For those upset about the 50% borrowing rule

    I fell in love with BLT. I can't say other DVC resorts interested me. And we held out even after that because WDW is a decent flight away or ~2 days in the car. We bought one small contract with a bank and borrow strategy. We never planned on visiting more than once every 3 years. Since...

    For those upset about the 50% borrowing rule

    Didn't know about this. Yikes for my small contracts.

    why should i still be a dvc owner

    I think this all goes back to best advice you can give anyone, "buy where you want to stay." If the location or theme of your home resort doesn't work for you, and you bought for cheap points and perks instead... you will regret it.

    If Coronavirus hadn't been a thing in the last 5 months , what would you have done?

    My kids have missed everything they were hoping to do last spring and now summer. No Rec. sports. No camps. No big Scouting trips. No goodbyes to their school friends. No dance recitals. No big summer parties. No amusement park trips. They don't understand. They cry.

    Worst Hallways...BWV or AKV Kidani?

    Kidani hallways were insanely long. The windows broke it up nicely. But our last stay was a good 15-20 minute walk.

    RUMOR: Sequel Trilogy to be De-Canonized

    I never understood this argument and I hear it all the time to defend TLJ. There's literally hundreds if not thousands of Jedi that came from humble backgrounds and no Jedi blood relatives. It wasn't something new. The overall problem with TLJ is it's supposed to be the tragic second act in...

    How long before DVC and all of WDW is shut again.

    Viruses don't. People do.
