    Stay in one hotel or two?

    Thank you for the replies! Doing my planning right now. This is a trip planned for late September 2019. 3 nights in the Riquewihr/Ribeauvillé area. 1 night in Normandy. 3 nights in Paris. 3 nights at DLP. France is the middle part of a 31-day European vacation (been saving for awhile).

    Stay in one hotel or two?

    We will be in Paris next year. We want to see some Paris sites and spend a day or two at Disney. My options: 1) I am trying to decide whether to stay in one hotel in Paris to see the sites, then go to one of the on-property resorts for our time at Disney. Less commuting possibly. 2) Or, is...

    Is There a Cap On Total Points Owned?

    Captain Jack... not real sure on all of that. I do know in the past that there are restrictions on the total number of days at one time you can make a reservation for. We have taken several 10-14 day vacations and had to make two separate reservations. It may sound a bit silly, but it keeps...

    Is There a Cap On Total Points Owned?

    Deb and Bill. Thanks... that's good to know. I've looked into other timeshare options to combine trips like you mentioned. I like Bluegreen and other clubs as well. I'm exploring my options right now.

    Is There a Cap On Total Points Owned?

    Thanks for the replies. I was thinking the cap was somewhere between 5-10,000, but wasn't sure. I do like the idea of staying at Disney year around :-) Although I think I'd go nuts in a studio after awhile. And... I know you mean well by offering financial advice on better ways to spend my...

    Is There a Cap On Total Points Owned?

    I am a current DVC owner. I'm looking into the possibility of buying more points. Does anyone know if there is a cap or limit on the total number of vacation points you can own? There are many things I want to do with my points beyond traveling just to WDW or DL. Just curious.

    Can you buy DVC stuff on the member website?

    I feel like I'm losing it. I thought I saw last time on the DVC member site that you could buy some DVC merchandise (shirts, mugs, etc.). Is that still available on the site? Thanks,

    Gourmet Mickey Clock

    First things first... I wasn't sure where to put this new thread, so feel free to move it where it belongs. I chose Disney Resorts because it involves shopping at a Disney Resort. I have been looking for 3 years for a Gourmet Mickey Clock... you know, the Gourmet Mickey that was white and...

    Are There "Behind The Scenes" Kitchen or Cooking Tours?

    We did a tour about 2 years ago that went to both Kidani and Jambo House. It focused mostly on breads and sauces of Africa. Very fun... and oh so tasty. It was free. You just need to check out the schedule of activities at Animal Kingdom Lodge.

    Are There "Behind The Scenes" Kitchen or Cooking Tours?

    I've been trying to see if WDW offers any tours of any of their kitchens or some type of cooking tour. I've been searching. I know there's all kinds of other behind the scenes tours. I'm just wondering if there is some kind of secret, unpublished tour to see the magic that happens in the...

    Picnic In The Park still available?

    Thanks for the replies. It was nice when it first came out. The green picnic bag, huge sandwiches, huge rice krispie treats. It was a pretty good deal. There was a great place under the Tree of Life with 2 or 3 picnic tables. Oh well... might try some new place in Africa or somewhere.

    Picnic In The Park still available?

    I did a search on the forums and nothing came up. Does anyone know if Animal Kingdom Park still offers their "Picnic In The Park?" I rather enjoyed that a few years ago, and am trying to make some plans for my next trip. Thanks!

    Kidani savanah view

    Happy Anniversary... we're creeping up on #24. If you want giraffes, then request the Sunset Savannah. The Pembe Savanah does NOT have giraffes. It is a smaller savannah (relatively speaking) and there is not enough room for them to roam. The Pembe savannah has its own unique set of...

    Thanks for the heads up... just registered. Always good to see the home resort... and see if there's things I haven't done there yet.

    Complaints about Kidani

    After reading thru the different replies, I just wanted to add a few things: 1) One major reason that Kidani is the way it is - is because of the animals. The savannah must be the way it is. It must be big. There must be acres for them to roam so they can look and feel as natural as possible...

    No HD TV at AKLV

    I have stayed at Kidani 4 different times and all of the televisions are flat screen HD TVs. My guess is they are 720p. So, that is not the issue. The issue is when they switched from DISH to DirecTV. Their contract ended with DISH, and they gladly switched to Direct. If you know much of the...
