    Has anyone joined a virtual queue for rides while flying with southwest?

    I haven't joined a VQ via Southwest wifi, but I've tried booking ILL. When I did this in October, it worked great. When I tried this in January, I kept getting an error message on the app that said I had to be in the US or Canada. I guess it didn't recognize I was in the air! My wifi otherwise...

    Who’s had all 6 Guardians songs?

    I rode 4 times last week: One Way or Another One Way or Another Everybody Wants to Rule the World Conga At first I was disappointed that I had Blondie twice, but that ended up being my favorite of the 3 songs I got. I would love to get September....hopefully on my next visit!

    *The Official VILLAS AT DISNEY'S GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Owners & Lovers Group*

    I just got back from staying 3 nights in a resort studio (standard view, first floor). I frequently heard my neighbors through the connecting door, and a lot of hallway noise. It's interesting how varying our noise experiences are! Other than the noise, the room was great. I would stay in the...

    Pixie Dust Needed - AKL Value - "What is the SECRET"!??

    I would say book the waitlist immediately as well. I lucked out and my waitlist was filled after someone finished walking their reservation.

    Experiencing the Reimagined Top of the World Lounge - A Villains Lair!

    I'm a blue card member and am curious about the "guests staying on a Member's reservation" -- do my guests need to booked in the same room as me? I have a trip planned in January where I booked a room for my friends using my points, and then I booked a studio for myself paying cash. Our...

    How much did your current age play into your DVC purchase decision making?

    I bought my first contract resale in 2013, a small 50 point BWV, when I was 26. At the time, the expiration date didn't matter to me as it seemed soooo far away. I also added on that year when VGF first went on sale. Fast forward to 2020 in my early 30s, I decided to sell my BWV contract. My...

    RIV vs VGF2 vs AKV

    I recently went through a similar thought process. I'm an original VGF owner with a small contract and mainly stay in studios. VGF2 seemed fairly enticing, except I already have the 11 month advantage -- and with such a large number of studios at VGF2, I don't really think the 11 month advantage...

    The Official Riviera Owners & Info Thread

    I was able to book two nights in a Tower Studio for a solo trip in May, but even before the reviews started coming out, I switched to a full studio elsewhere. I'm used to living and staying in smaller spaces, but the tower studio just seems too small for the points.

    Trouble signing in?

    I finally received an actual error message that says they're working on password-protected areas of the site. On the other hand, one of my waitlists came through!

    Can you ever get room before 4:00?

    I tend to take an early flight and arrive in Orlando around 8-9am. I've always been able to get my room before 4pm, but I make sure to tell the front desk that I'll take the first available room. This probably really depends on your room category and how many units there are. In October, I...

    2020 International Flower and Garden Dates!

    I was there for the first day last year and didn't find it particularly busy, except for the super long line for the orange bird souvenir cup. I haven't been for the first day of F&W so can't compare, but my guess is you'll be fine especially since it's a Wednesday.

    Avoid Single Rider Line on MFSR

    Interesting - I rode SR 4 times last week, 3 times as a single rider. Once was a complete walk-on, and the other two times, I waited no more than 10 minutes.

    Ale & Compass breakfast?

    I've had breakfast twice here now, and it's one of my favorites! The food is excellent, and it's great you don't have to commit to the buffet portion unless you want to.

    Ale & Compass or nah?

    I haven't been for dinner, but I think it's a great breakfast option for the area.

    Ogas cantina, are all reservations gone?

    I was able to get reservations in October and January! The system is definitely overloaded, so I would keep trying.
