    Guest experiences with daily room checks

    Just got back from a five night AKL Jambo DVC stay. We used the room occupied sign and bolt and latch whenever we were in the room. This was a no parks trip so we were in the room a lot. First two days the trash was emptied while we were out in the afternoon. The weird thing was we got a pile...

    TSA Pre Check...One More Question (hopefully...)

    This has not been my experience at all. We applied for and got Global Entry earlier this year. We already had several domestic flights booked and were able to go into our reservations and add the KTN ourselves. This worked with American and Southwest flights. Once the number is added to your...

    Our 1st "resort only" trip - any thoughts or suggestions?

    We are doing exactly this in September. We rented points and are staying at AKL Jambo with a savannah view. It's been on our bucket list to stay here. We will enjoy relaxing, shopping and visiting other resorts. We did book one splurge - Highway in the Sky Dine Around. Maybe after Star Wars has...

    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    This is us! I emailed and received a call from DVC member services. She was very kind but short of contacting the couple we rented the points from and asking them if they'd be willing to re-book us at another resort there are no options. We are not willing to give up our savanna view so that is...

    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    If the cast member I just chatted with online is correct the pool closes 9/4. We are there 9/2-9/7 and are renting points so will get two days at the Jambo pool before heading to Kidani. The saddest part is that this is a no parks trip for us. Just relaxing around the pool and touring other...

    Parking at PHL

    We are a fan of Pre-Flight. We've never even had to call when we arrive back at PHL. Just wave one of their shuttles down that makes the rounds and they'll drop you off at your car.

    ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

    That's awesome then! There are two of us traveling too so I checked my dates and it's almost $80 more per night. We are also in a standard king. So strange how it all works. I will not complain about my SMSM rate of $157 per night though:)

    ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

    Is that $30 club price per room or are you averaging it out per person? I would love to add club to our reservation but the lowest I've found is about $80 per room.

    Disney Visa - Premier/Rewards??

    Do you travel a lot overseas or buy gifts for family or friends who live overseas from places like Amazon UK? We save more than the difference in price not having to pay the foreign transaction fees.
