    It's National Left-handers Day

    Lefty here. Kind of funny how my tendencies worked out. Pretty much anything that requires fine motor skills I go left. Gross motor skills I go right. All my life I was told to try to bat and golf left but it just never felt natural. Funny thing though that contradicts this is how I shoot pool...

    Ogas cantina, are all reservations gone?

    We aren’t going until the week of Dec. 9th but I was able to snag Oga’s For 7 at 3:55pm and Savi’s for 2 at 11am.

    Flying out of Indy.... next parking?

    I work at CMH and fly out regularly. It's been about a decade since I flew out of IND so my memory is a bit hazy. Coming from Delaware, you'll have at least a 30 to 40 minute drive. The good thing is, you really don't need to arrive too early at CMH. Oddly, the airport is divided into 3...

    Best Home Resort for Studio Lover?

    If you tend to be more last minute, then the home resort advantage will be less important. I’d recommend buying points at SSR. The resale contracts are cheeper than the Poly and BLT and the dues are some of the lowest of all DVC.

    Best Home Resort for Studio Lover?

    Another option to put on your list would be BRV. The points required for a stay are a bit less than both the Poly and BLT. We just stayed in a BRV studio last week and loved it!!!

    Current DVC tour incentives

    We just got back from WDW last night. We were in the CR on Tuesday afternoon and were offered 3 fast passes for everyone in the party and a $75 gift card for both myself and my DW ($150 total). Tempting...but we passed. We were staying on points we rented from a close family friend. My parents...

    Alrighty everyone. Sadly our first ever stay at Boulder Ridge is coming to a close today . I can’t say enough about the whole Wilderness Lodge Resort area though. I may be guilty of being a “the last place I stayed is always my favorite resort” kind of person but boy oh boy do I love it here...

    Posted wait times are wrong this week (May 15th)

    We were in MK in Monday and yesterday this week as well. Monday was a bit different because it rained off and on for a good 3 to 4 hours so many rides went up and down all day long. My kids are too small for anything bigger than 7DMT so we were able to grab FPs for Fantasy Land and things like...

    We’re planning to try and rope drop MK tomorrow. What time should we try to leave and would we be better grabbing the boat or bus?

    It’s been wonderful so far. We had a very early flight in and had our room assignment by 10:30!! Had a light lunch with the kiddos in the room and then went to the Boulder Ridge pool for a quick dip. We’re resting to catch up from the early morning and will be heading to Disney Springs later on...

    Dishes and Silverware in a Studio

    Heading to BRV for 4 nights next week. We’re bringing some food items and having a few more things delivered so that we can do breakfast and other light meals in the room. This is my first studio stay. Ive only stayed in 2br and GVs...spoiled I know . My understanding that we’ll have paper...

    Hi everyone! Checking into Boulder Ridge for the first time in 18 days! We’ll be in a studio. Can anyone confirm the dimensions of the fold down bed and how high off the floor it is? My 3.5yo DD is super excited to sleep in it but I worry about her rolling out. Still occasionally rolls out at home.

    Art of Animation vs. Bay Lake Tower

    In that your stay is reasonably short, the convenience of BLT could be a game changer. The walk to and from MK is effortless! Additionally the extra square footage of the BLT 1BR is also a real nice to have. We personally really enjoy having the flexibility of the full kitchen as well...

    Booked for September, now I'm scared

    Just a quick point of clarification. When SWGE opens at DHS, bot attractions will Be open. SWRoR will open slightly later out at DL. To that point, the hype about crowds is really more for DL than DHS. I always forget the actual stat but DL has something like 25 million people that all live...

    Is anyone cancelling a WDW trip or moving it up because of the early SWGE opening?

    We’ve got a trip on the books already for early Dec. so I’m pretty excited. That’ll be far enough out that the initial push may have subsided. FWIW, while there will certainly be some who go for the first few days, early September is still a super difficult time to travel with school age...

    How comfortable is the pull down bed at Pop Century

    It’s the same mattress as the non-Murphy bed. I found it quite easy to pull down and put back up. My wife and I were the ones to sleep on it actually. I’m a large guy and found it quite comfortable. The room does fill pretty small when it’s pulled down however. The jump from full to queen size...

    Bay Lake Tower One Bedroom

    The walk to MK is a game changer! It makes walking out with the masses at the end of the night a breeze. It’s a mixed bag for many people on the theaming. I really like it a lot though. BLT is currently my favorite DVC. If I had to knock it down for one thing it would be the pool. The setting...
