Hello friends! I've never written a blog, or trip report, or anything like this before. Let's see how it goes... The Journey Leading Up To The Journey Before we get into this trip, let me tell you a bit about my Disney history. I grew up in the LA area, so as a kid, I went to Disneyland...

The One With The View A Short but Sweet WDW Trip October 2021 An Introduction: "Nice to be Back Ladies and Gentlemen!" Well, well, well, if it isn’t me starting this trip report over 2 months after I’ve been back home. I had full intentions of starting this trip report a lot earlier, but...

We are actually going after Christmas but was hoping to hear some updates. DW and I were there in June (2 weeks after re-opening) but there were a lot of renovations. Taking the whole family this time! I would love to hear your recent experiences with: 1. Castle renovations - we didn't bother...

Hey, new to the forum. I just got back from the parks this week and I'm trying to track down some of the music they used during the cavalcade; specifically the one with Moana (only character I remember, tbh). I tried shazam, of course, with no results. I did manage to grab a snippet of the...

I have 175 Old Key West (OKW) points that I can transfer to a DVC member’s account ($16 per point plus the PayPal transfer fee). These points are from my Dec 2020 use year and must be used by Nov 31, 2021 or banked by July 31, 2021, which would extend the use period to Nov 31, 2022. As a DVC...

Like many others my family and I want to take advantage of celebrating the 50th anniversary at Walt Disney World. We don't care if we're there the actual anniversary date of October 1, 2021 as we know that it will be extremely crowded then. We typically like to travel to the parks in February...

Hello! Welcome to what my husband considers to be absolute insanity :rolleyes1 Is it too early to begin planning a trip in February December 2021? (Due to life we have pushed our trip back to Dec.) Never! This is my first PTR, and will precede my first TR. I am so excited to begin sharing with...

Hey guys! My wife and I are looking to head to WDW in early 2021 and I recently sent a reservation request (it’s a tad early but they will hold it). However, upon sending my receipt, they also informed me of potential point shortages. I want to make sure I do my due diligence in reserving a room...

Hello all! I will be renting DVC for 12 days in January 2021. We are planning to buy annual passes. With this said, I have two questions. First, how far in advance should/can I buy the annual passes before activation? Second, based on our DVC rental (for 12 days) and having annual passes (which...

What would be something amazing and wonderful that you'd like to see in the parks for the 50th Anniversary celebration in 2021? Mine would be a return of the Main Street Electrical Parade.

We have taken several group trips over the past few years with family and close friends. It has been a while since our last big group trip, so we wanted to plan a big trip during the 50th. Im sure that time frame will be just packed to the brim, but thankfully we are planning it where our group...
