    Mid November, Mid December 2024 or late January 2025

    Thanks for the reply. Thinking of late January...for us, November and December are easier to get! DS and I are accountants and January is starting to creep into tax season. I think we can swing it, though, if we prepare our boss ahead of time (we work at the same place).

    Mid November, Mid December 2024 or late January 2025

    We are planning to take a family vacation with our 2 adult children. We have all experienced Halloween parties either at WDW or DL and have also experienced the Holidays at DL. DH really enjoyed Food & Wine at Epcot, but I have Celiac and lately the gluten free offerings at the festivals have...

    Are special promotion tickets upgradable to AP? Hotel Discount

    Another question...is there a way to request our rooms be somewhat close together? We don't really need adjoining, but it would be nice to be close.

    Are special promotion tickets upgradable to AP? Hotel Discount

    Thanks for the info about the seasonal pass blockout. My husband and I went this same time in 2021 and for some reason, were not blocked out during the particular concert that was there. I'll keep an eye on it to see what the situation will be. Still think its probably worth it.

    Are special promotion tickets upgradable to AP? Hotel Discount

    Do I need to upgrade all the tickets, or just mine, to get the AP discount?

    Are special promotion tickets upgradable to AP? Hotel Discount

    I purchased the 2 day, get 3 days free tickets awhile ago and booked the 2 bedroom suite at Cabana Bay. We are taking our 2 adult children. This will be the first time for both of them. I noticed the AP discount for Royal Pacific and was able to book two rooms for a little over $100 more for the...

    Cabana Bay or Endless Summer

    Thank you for the info. I noticed that the VB view rooms were a long ways away. DH and I discussed this and he is okay with it. He gets up SUPER early so we figured having a separate space for him to be while everyone else is still sleeping would be best. If a room discount comes up later, I...

    Cabana Bay or Endless Summer

    Thanks for the info. I had no idea there were only 20 suites available. I'll book today. I wanted to wait to see if they came out with any discounts, but better safe than sorry.

    Cabana Bay or Endless Summer

    Thanks for the responses. I am looking at the 2 bedroom suites at each hotel. Leaning towards Cabana Bay Volcano Bay 2 Bed suite. What is the Orlando Informer Meet-up? Is it an after hours party like the Disney After Hours events?

    Cabana Bay or Endless Summer

    We are taking our 2 adult kids (DS30 and DD 26) to Universal November 29 through December 3. DH and I stayed at Cabana Bay in 2021 and really thought the hotel was great for a Value Hotel. I noticed that both hotels have 2 bedroom suites. Endless Summer is much less expensive than Cabana Bay...

    Help me plan - 2024 trip

    Yeah. If a 9 year-old won't sleep on it....The other option is me and DD sharing a bed and DH and DS sharing a bed.

    Help me plan - 2024 trip

    OP here. Leaning towards the 1 bedroom. My only concern is one of my adult kids on the convertible chair/bed. We are not particularly large people, but not small either. Thanks for the tips on renting points on this board. Am a bit concerned about doing a private rent, but it sounds like you...

    Help me plan - 2024 trip

    My husband and I are planning a trip in 2024 with our 2 kids (both adults not married). DH and I have been to WDW a couple of times. Kids have been to DL many times but never WDW. Tentatively November 28 through December 8 (this allows us to take only 5 vacation days). We will be flying from...

    What do you wish were in Downtown Disney?

    I would love to see a gluten free bakery like Erin McKennas. With all the goodies in the parks that I can't eat, it would be nice to be able to have a treat. . . and no, the gluten free cupcakes at Sprinkles don't cut it!

    Do any hotels on Harbor guarantee connecting rooms? (Besides Hojo)

    I second the Desert Inn and Suites option. Their suites have 2 bathrooms...essentially two connecting rooms with a small "front" room. Also, really close to the crosswalk to Disneyland on Harbor.

    What's the craziest frugal/budgeted minded thing you've done on your trip?

    Several years ago, we wanted to take a trip, but didn't have a huge budget. My family, consisting of me, my mom, DS, DD, two sisters and three nieces shared the two bedroom suite at the Camelot. It was crowded, but hey, we're family! Makes the lodging pretty inexpensive when you split it several...

    Hotel help!

    I've stayed at the DI&S and the Camelot in the rooms you are looking at. I didn't have a problem with either of them. Beds at the Camelot were a bit more comfortable, but not a lot. I really liked the 2 bathroom set up at DI&S. At the Camelot, the bathroom is accessible through one of the rooms...

    Specifically, OGA’s…

    We did this in July. Alerts kept popping up, but I would miss them! Then, day of, one popped up which we were able to grab. It was worth the $8 (I think) paid for the alerts.
