The older version of Magic Bands is cheaper than the newer MagicBand+. However, the older version is hard to find on Disney property. So if you see the older version on My Disney Experience (because you have a Disney hotel stay coming up), that might be the cheapest way to get them. But I...

It's not a question of whether or not you are a DVC member. If you go to Disneyworld.com and click on Animal Kingdom Lodge, the search result shows both hotel rooms and DVC rooms on the same page. You have to look at the description of what you are booking. The "Savanna View" options include...

I've taken an Uber from BCV to DHS. But I never try to get to a park exactly at rope drop, so I don't know what the rules are for when you can be dropped off.

That's what I was hoping for (the dates that I'm stalking to pop up because somebody cancelled them to book at Fort Wilderness), but it didn't happen.

Go back to post 42,861, which said this: "I just checked & can find not even 1 reservation for any room at YC from July 21 to November 18." and the posts immediately following...

Assuming the Member website is up and running at 8:00 am eastern time on 04/23/2024, because I just saw this: "In order to accommodate updates, Member sign-in will be temporarily unavailable on Tuesday, April 23 from 12:00 AM until 6:00 AM Eastern Time. All of us at Disney Vacation Club...

I'm not going to guess about the odds of when all of the rooms will be done. There have been reports that the new patio chairs are very uncomfortable. They look like they should have a cushion on the seat and a cushion for the back, but they have neither.

If my name is on the reservation, and if I have more than one Magic Band, all of my Magic Bands should work for my trip (assuming I have not gone into my My Disney Experience account to deactivate some of them). So if my sister is staying in a different room, I can give her one of my extra...

You have to make sure that you are happy with the room layouts if you are thinking of renting DVC. Most DVC studios do not have 2 real beds. Figure out which resort you want, then look up the bed situation. Some studios don't have a lot of space to move around if you have the pull-out beds...

I don't think that's a DVC-specific issue. Were you staying at a DVC-only resort, such as OKW or SSR? If I arrive at BoardWalk, as far as I know the people out front don't know if I'm staying at BoardWalk Inn or BoardWalk Villas, and even if they know BWV, they don't know if I'm paying with...

Oooh, interesting point -- when an airline says that a plane lands at a certain time, does that refer to when the plane touches the ground, or when people are allowed to get off the plane?

There can be a big difference if there is a convention which has a room block at 2 but not 3 of the hotels. For example: Swan Reserve with annual passholder discount at $381, Dolphin at more than $1,000 and Swan sold out.

You might want to ask over on the AKL thread in the Disney Resorts (not DVC Resorts) Forum because, given the number of rooms, there are more non-DVC people staying in rooms with Club Level access than there are DVC people staying in rooms with Club Level access...

Well here are the notes that I made when I used FL tours in the summer of 2022: When the flight landed at MCO, I did not stop at the bathroom (for once in my life). I was waiting for the monorail to the main terminal when I got a call from the FL Tours driver. He said to call him when the...

I've never read of someone actually saying that their old Magic Band didn't work. Plenty of posts saying what is supposed to happen (long distance versus short distance, etc.) but never that the old one stopped working for long distance.

At Animal Kingdom Lodge's Jambo House, the Club Level lounge is on the 6th floor. The only rooms on the 6th floor are the 5 DVC studios and 5 DVC 1-bedrooms. They tend to be very hard to book with DVC points. I think it would be rare (but not unheard of) for them to be available to book with...

Well, if you purchased resale a long time ago, you could be grandfathered in to be eligible for discounts. So I don't think "ND" would mean "Not Direct."

Yes! I belonged to a work-related association, and it was the only perk I used.

Somebody posted an update here: https://www.disboards.com/threads/the-i-love-bwv-yes-hallways-and-clown-pool-too-thread.1300921/page-81#post-65394346

I don't know exactly when rooms are assigned, but if you are checking in next week (and it's already Thursday), you might be too late. If you want to try, you can use Touring Plans. Or you can call 1-407-W-DISNEY. You also might want to check the Disneyworld website. If YC is sold out for...
