    Car rental through Costco

    Fully agree with everything in this post (especially the part about the credit card conversion rate) but I will clarify something about the tolls. There are a few different ways to go about paying your tolls in Orlando. Don't use the toll transponder through the car rental company. Most...

    Costco Disney Gift Cards

    Yes you can, theoretically, but I don't think they sell them on the Canadian costco site. I bought theses on the US site because it's a better discount. But I have purchased at Walmart etc before in Canada for regular price just to save the money exchange.

    I was able to order Disney gift cards. Did you put in a US mailing address?

    Costco Disney Gift Cards

    I was able to order 2 yesterday on my account and then tried to order 2 more and it got cancelled. I was able to order 2 on my husbands account (same membership different card) and those went through . I tried again today to order 2 more on my account and it was cancelled. So it seems like in...

    I was able to get in and see everything but when I try to modify my existing reservation I get the 7 dwarves

    Anyone with experience using the FL Visitor Toll Pass?

    Yep, very easy to use. There's like a vending machine that you pick it up from, you use it, you drop in the bin when you're back at the airport. Very convenient.

    ETPE rope dropping, Genie+, midday break, fireworks, and parking

    How long is your trip? Are you hoping to have some resort/pool time? How many nights are you staying? Will you be returning to Disney again soon? I'm a big fan of breaks in the afternoon but we tend to travel in the summer when you would have to be a little nuts to want to be at the parks in...

    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    I'm curious why you would consider this view obstructed? I agree that if you are down at the end that perhaps less animals come your way which would be super frustrating. But I don't see how your view is obstructed compared to all the rooms across from you in the photo, it seems to me they are...

    Have you ever accidentally run into a celebrity at WDW?

    We saw Kevin Pollack at the Starbucks in DCA just last week! I didn't notice at first but my husband texted me because he was standing right next to him waiting for his coffee.

    DCA parade testing until 3 am super loud in Grand Cali room

    Thanks everyone for all your responses! We are home now and wanted to follow up with you all. In the end my husband did end up speaking with a manager, we were told that the hotel didn't even know they were going to be doing that testing until the day it started. We apparently were supposed to...

    DCA parade testing until 3 am super loud in Grand Cali room

    I’m sorry that you don’t seem to have any human compassion or decency. Im not getting a free preview of anything except the same song on a loop for hours. I can’t see whatever they are doing from my room, I just hear the noise. I’m not “getting to experience something huge amounts of us won’t...

    DCA parade testing until 3 am super loud in Grand Cali room

    We’re staying at the Grand Californian for the first time for 5 nights this week. We’re on night 2 and apparently the parade rehearsals for Oogie Boogie Bash have started, VERY loudly from 11pm to 3am every night this week. You can hear it plain as day in our room. Has anyone ever experienced...

    Favorite Park (US)

    Definitely either Disneyland or Magic Kingdom, it's where the magic lives. Though I do enjoy Animal Kingdom quite a bit...I just wish there was a bit more to do. I never really understood people's love for EPCOT. Don't get me wrong, I never miss a chance to "thank the Phoenicians" but overall...

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    We got 5 nights in a studio at 7 months out for mid-August. We were very lucky. I was checking everyday up until the date I could book and was on there the minute it opened. So it's definitely possible, it really depends on your dates.

    Medieval Times on Strike?

    My family is headed to California in the middle of August and were thinking of trying the Medieval Times dinner show in Buena Park one evening while we are staying at Disneyland. However, I heard that the workers are maybe on strike? Does anyone have any details. Most of what I get when googling...

    ***The Official AKV Owners And Lovers Thread***. Come And Chat

    yes, they had it when we stayed in a studio last summer. But it was a little hit or miss for whether or not the casting worked at any given time.
