    Add water park to Salute tix?

    I can't say with 100% certainty, but it's worth asking when you get there. We buy our salute tickets from SOG, and one year we bought the five-day instead of the six-day tickets (this was in Feb 2020). We wanted to add that extra day halfway through our trip. We stopped into guest services at...

    Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House Closed for Initial Walt Disney World Resort Reopening

    I just checked availability for our July trip (we are staying at BC, but thinking of switching), and Jambo is coming up as bookable, and there is a ton of availability. When I booked our trip last week, Jambo was blocked.

    Davids DVC: Rental reimbursement or rescheduling?

    We borrowed points and couldn't go, so we rented out our existing reservation in May. Since it was cancelled, David's gave us the option to return the 70% or let them rent out the points again. In the end, we just returned the money. We didn't lose the points because of the policy change...

    Carved Animal Figurines at AK

    My kids are obsessed with watching the carvers, and we've bought a couple of animal figures. The carvers have told us on multiple occasions that they carve the majority of the figures. They also make the walking sticks....we watched a carver start one in the morning at Epcot and then saw his...

    Is there a lesser evil of summer months?

    We went in mid-August, the summer before last. We weren't sure what to expect, but we actually really enjoyed it. Yes, it was very hot, but the crowds were the lowest we've ever experienced. It did storm just about every afternoon, so we just made sure to do outdoor rides earlier in the day...

    Historic wait times

    Touring Plans has historic wait times, but I believe the times listed are based off of subscriber experiences.

    T-giving 4 parks 3 day FP strategy

    It's open for people arriving earlier in the week. I'm there November 23-30, so my FP+ window for those dates was this past Tuesday. I was able to get what we wanted for the most part, and there is still some availability, but by the time you are able to book, FOP and SDD will likely be slim...

    Unable to look up resort rates online for many days now

    If you're using Safari, definitely try clearing your history.

    Tell me about military discount tickets.

    I think the easiest option is to purchase them through Shades of Green. Your uncle would have to email them and they will contact him and ask for whatever info they need. They will mail you actual tickets, and you can link them right away and book your FP+ when your booking window opens...

    To AP or not AP?

    This is exactly what happened to my family last year when we got annual passes. Our annual trip turned into four trips in one year....zero regrets. I'd go for the AP.

    Help with deluxe resort choice please!

    The Poly is our home resort, and we never thought we would want to stay anywhere else. We were out of points last summer and decided to try BC. We were skeptical at first, but we ended up loving it. Our boys are 6 & 8 and think that Stormalong Bay is the best. It is definitely a different...

    Do you actually use the coffee maker in your room?

    We bring our own coffee and filters for the DVC portion of our stay, and my husband also drinks the coffee in the regular rooms. I am not a fan of that coffee, so I usually choose to grab one to go elsewhere.

    Crowd levels Jan 26-Feb 2?

    I received an email this morning for Feb 2-11 and the crowd levels all went up too. We were there around the same time last year and the crowds were really high compared to the previous year.

    Test Track down in February 2019??

    Our FP window opened up this morning, and I couldn't find anything for TT from February 2-11. I read this thread and then went back and was able to book us in groups of two. There was plenty of availability when I did it that way. Not sure why that's happening, but I'm glad there is a way to...

    2019 Armed Forces Salute Renewal Announced!

    You can purchase over the phone and they will mail them to you. If I remember right from last year, they emailed me the form, which I filled out, scanned, and emailed back to them. Once they receive it, they will call to get your payment info and send them to you via mail. It was quick too...

    2019 Armed Forces Salute Renewal Announced!

    If you buy from Shades of Green, your tickets are already activated and you don't have to take time at the park to do the activation. You also don't have to deal with the worry of losing the exchange ticket. I highly recommend doing this! Just a side note....if you do buy from SoG, they...
