Last time I went, I shipped an electric water kettle (like $10 or so and not very big) directly to Pop (I was flying and trying to conserve space in my luggage) and brought a bunch of VIA's. Worked out well.

Same here (better than the 5% with the Target Red Card, plus I rack up fuel points). :)

Thanks so much for checking!

Last time I went, kids were 3.5y and 7.5y. I rented a City Mini GT Single Stroller. Worked beautifully. The 3.5y old used it the most - her legs just couldn't always keep up. My 7.5y old would hop in with her on occasion. It was a somewhat tight fit for the two of them, but when his legs (the...

Yes, you get an email. Last year, my email arrived at about 6am the day free dining dropped.

This email arrived in my inbox on 4/25/16 at 6:11am (I'm in Mountain time, but I kind of think the time stamp on the email is Central Time, though I'm not 100% sure).

This is what last year's Disney Visa email looked like. It had codes you could use when calling or had a link in the email you could click on directly. This is LAST YEAR'S (don't want to create a ruckus!)

Same thing here. What used to be a much bigger savings is now down to *maybe* a $450 savings. Granted, I appreciate saving $450, but Free Dining certainly has lost "value" over time (which I'm sure is exactly what Disney is doing on purpose to phase it out).

It was probably wishful thinking on my part. I bet you're right!

I think mostly because some agencies have exclusive deals (discounts) not available to the general public otherwise. And also - some folks don't enjoy the "legwork" of all the details related to Disney vacations and would rather have a TA do it.

Ate there when daughter was 3.5 and son was 7.5. It is very loud. I wouldn't say scary, but just very loud. It has a few different themed rooms that are fun to walk around and see. Food was average (not amazing, but not bad). Absolutely true that you can call directly and make reservations...

Just opened an Amex Blue Cash Preferred (6% back for groceries, 3% back for gas) and the current perk for new cards is 10% back at U.S. Restaurants. My question is: anyone know if the 10% back would apply for Disney restaurants? I tried calling Amex and they don't know (i.e. they'd only know...

Random somewhat off-topic question for those of you who have stayed at Pop and POR. IF (big IF) I were to score FD at Pop, it would be about $400 less than the TA deal I have at POR (no FD, estimating my food costs OOP). I've stayed at Pop and thought it was just fine. My kids are elementary...

LOVE it! It's the only airline/miles credit card I have. I used it for absolutely everything and pay it off monthly. Can rack up points quickly. Love Southwest!

I did this accidentally recently. Was booking our package and there was a computer glitch and it kicked me out (I was already logged into MDE) before I hit the button confirming the transaction (charging to my credit card). I then got an email saying that my reservation was on hold, but that I...

I've always booked ADRs right when my window opens and I would say that there seemed to be much more availability this year than the last two years. Noticeably so. Have always gone mid-September. ETA: Booked at Chef Mickey's, BOG (lunch and dinner), 1900 Park Fare, Boma, Akershus - ones I...

Interesting. Went back through the past 5 years of when FD has been announced to see if it's always on a certain day of the week. In the past 5 years, it was announced on a Wed, Thurs, Fri and twice on a Monday (the last 2 years). Not sure if that really points towards a Monday release or not...

I think I know the answer, but wanted to double check...I had booked a package just before the 180 day mark to be able to make ADRs at the 180+10 day mark. As I understand it, those ADRs aren't actually "tied" to my package (room plus tickets) reservation. So...my question is, can I safely...

Hoping this brings pixie dust to someone here...in one minute, I am cancelling a Free Dining reservation at Pop Century, standard room Sept 17-24. Good luck! Edited: Well...it won't seem to let me cancel it online (looked like it would) - will repost when I am actually able to cancel it...

Yep! From what I was gathering, the $250 was certainly worth it!
