I have never seen them in use, but I have used them once! They were very clean and well maintained. I'm DVC, but was extremely disappointed when I went to the front desk and asked for the cooking utensils and got the run around. At first I was told they have never had utensils and isn't...

The attendant was definately misinformed. This has been a long standing rule and is on the new(ish)ly redesigned TotWL page (https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/discounts-perks-offers/member-experiences/top-of-the-world-lounge). Specifically, "Eligible Disney Vacation Club Members with...

For some reason most of the delivery services are somewhat vague about this. Garden Grocer explicitly state they can still deliver alcohol to bell services - and you have to upload a copy of your ID for them in advance of delivery. I have never had a problem and always have beer in the order...

I think the theory was that Disney could offer extremely cheap 21 day tickets to the UK market because the average spend of a UK visitor was very high (dining, merch etc). I wonder whether, given the economic downturn, that spend level has dropped, and given the biggest complaint about the parks...

Its generally going to be "bad value" and far more difficult to upgrade existing tickets, rather than just booking Upper Class using points outright. There are complicated reasons behind this, but essentially not all fares are upgradable. The ones that are tend to be quite expensive, which means...

It does seem like an odd decision when three week holidays are very common for us in the UK. Even if the ticket wasn't a huge seller, it isn't a physical item that they need to "stock" so one has to wonder what the issue is with making it for sale. My only guess is that somehow the ticket was...

Unless you’re at the Polynesian because the vending machine wasn’t working either :D

Wow you’re more patient than I. The maximum I will wait is 15 minutes. There’s no excuse imo, the machines show how long they have remaining - they are sometimes out by 5 minutes or so. Most of the laundry rooms allow you to monitor the timer remotely and receive a notification...

Interested to hear other members experiences with the DVC laundry rooms. Nearly every visit to the Poly I’ve found so many problems in the laundry room, and I just don’t understand why they’re not regularly checked. Today half of the tumble dryers don’t work, three don’t start at all and one...

Plague - you gave me some fun and sanity in the run up to our cancelled vacation in October last year. Just two weeks to go now for our rebooked 3 week stay at the Poly! I’ll raise a glass to you at Tambu Lounge :earsboy:

I'm afraid to say its ineptitude. For some reason, huge parts of the site got geofenced during COVID and it seemed to have all sorts of unintended consequences. For example, its only in the last few weeks that its possible for UK annual passholders to actually make park reservations. The AP part...

Can I take a guess that you're American and not a Brit? 😀 A 14-day vacation is very standard for us Brits, so its not considered unusually long here - just the norm! And particularly Florida, a 14 or even 21-night stay is (or was!) very common! Your average Brit has 25 days of paid vacation...

I guess it's a very personal question and situation. Prices have gone up, but this isn't confined to Disney. e.g. the price of cruises has increased significantly. Holidaying right now is just more expensive because the world is still in turmoil, with supply chains and general international...

Looks like it's a website glitch as when I check my ESTA status, that part of the website isn't rendering properly, so it makes it appear that its missing.

Definitely a 'one and done' for us. It was fine; the food wasn't bad, but it just wasn't interesting or anything memorable. The service was also 'fine', some cast members will act and play around like jungle cruise skippers and others will not.

I think the DisneyFoodBlog were fairly spot on with their review. The food is good - but you can get it anywhere, and you're paying a premium to have it in Disney. That said, if Americanised Chinese food is what you love to eat, then this is probably the best place to get it on property. For the...

You can't imagine spending $20-40k on something, and then remembering to actually use it once per year? I think as long as you have managed to arrange things like home insurance, car insurance, mortage payments and taxes, then booking or banking timeshare points once per year will not be a...

There is(was) a value deducted, but this won't and can't be the value you paid - largely because you paid in GBP, and you also paid UK VAT as part of the price, and APs are sold in USD and attract state tax. So, there was a 'set value' provided in credit, but this was less than the value you...

You would not be able to upgrade your ticket to the Sorcerer Pass while AP sales are paused. Only renewing existing APs is possible at this time. Assuming AP sales resume at some point, then historically UK guests have been able to upgrade the Ultimate tickets to APs, with a predetermined...

Honestly, I had just assumed they would sell out and discontinue sales a lot sooner than they did. I had made the (incorrect) assumption they had a limit of numbers for each category of pass, and they would hit that ceiling within a few weeks. I'm not planning to go until May next year, but I...
