    Ever been diagnosed with addonitis?

    I bought my second contract one year after the first and I hadn't even stayed DVC once yet! Addonitis site unseen! But that was in 2013 and since then I haven't had any relapse, am I cured?

    Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

    Car accidents are one of the biggest causes of deaths.

    Current owners: Do you feel that renters are impacting resort availability?

    The agencies currently book AKV value because it returns the most money per point, but when you factor paying for an external service to solve the captcha for thousands of requests daily to find the reservations, would it still be more economical?

    Current owners: Do you feel that renters are impacting resort availability?

    I do not have any knowledge, but it's the only reasonable explanation. Paying someone to stalk the website incessantly for AKV value ot BWV standard nights all day every day would be simply not economical. Also, I don't think it would be too difficult to write something like that. We know there...

    T1D at Universal

    Just to repeat a comment from a PP: Disney is changing the DAS too, with the untold but evident goal of reducing the number of passes they give. You will be able to register before the trip so you don't waste time during your trip. I would recommend you look into it, within a month or so we...

    The resort entrance allows you to do one house with a short line and then that's it, by the time you get out maybe you can get another house with average wait, but many will already be over an hour. So it's a good headstart, but not a replacement for EP.

    Don't worry, at the pace Disney builds things, Dinoland will be still around in 2045, work ready to start "soon".

    Total Eclipse 2045

    Which resort will be the best? It'd need a wide open space in the sun. Maybe the Boardwalk? of course, any pool without much shade (I.e. all of them). In parks, I guess the hub at MK will be the perfect spot, but Disney would be mad not do sell a dessert/ice cream party with reserved space and a...

    Fastest way from Paris to DLP.

    For people who are not used to public transport, it may be difficult to imagine how convenient the RER is. The station exit is nearer than any onsite resort (except than the Disneyland Hotel). It's literally a 90 seconds walk to security. And given the crazy Paris traffic, probably faster than a...

    New name for Disney Studios

    I don't dislike it, but neither I'm excited. Tom Briker of disneytouristblog.com suggested CineMagique World/Adventure/Something. That would have been much better.

    Am I being too judgy judgy about owners who rent prolifically?

    According to Disney, a night at the Poly is worth more than a night at AKV. Personal preferences may be different, but both the point cost and cash rates are higher for the Poly. So, someone looking to rent, may feel that paying $175 for a night at AKV value is not as a good value as $294 at the...

    Am I being too judgy judgy about owners who rent prolifically?

    Only explanation is that they have script that scans the DVC website looking for nights dropped by members and they book then automatically with SAP points. I wish Disney adds some form of limits to the searches on their website. Like: 5 searches an hour are free, then a captcha verification...

    Maybe we should ask DVC to open a special 250 months booking windows. Otherwise people might start walking the reservations now.

    Is there a DVC - Kiosk in Paris?

    I really really hoped that with the refurbishment they'd convert a wing od the hotel to DVC, now that the resort is fully owned by the Walt Disney Company.

    I didn't know it was possible, do you remember how much it was last year to upgrade?

    I'm so sorry for current owners of BWV, BCV and other 2042 resorts they're going to miss this!

    Official 2024 Universal Studios HHN 33 Thread

    30 minutes is considered a quasi-walk on for standby. I saw Stranger Things approach the three hours at times, last year. Also, in theory Express guarantees to skip half the wait time. So if standby is 2 hours you should wait 1 hour with Express. It's usually shorter, but sometimes you'll wait...

    Official 2024 Universal Studios HHN 33 Thread

    It is not an event for everyone. It is very expensive, it's overcrowded, often frustrating. And sometimes you go in a house and you miss all the best scares, because you'll be rushed and you won't be able to linger to appreciate all the details. But you could say the same about the theme parks...

    Official 2024 Universal Studios HHN 33 Thread

    Possible? Yes, but it requires a very good plan executed with military precision, early entry via Stay and Scream (a paid extra or a park ticket for the day), extremely early queueing in the holding pens (think 3:30pm), a lot of walking (A LOT), a lot of standing on your feet in line (A LOT) and...
