    Princess Weekend 2022

    Totally. I am in Massachusetts and there have been too many single digit mornings recently. I try to move my schedule around so I run in the afternoon (with a high of 25!) but I also joined a $10/month gym and I've been on the treadmill few times now. Not looking forward to 8, 9, 10 miles on a...

    Princess Weekend 2022

    This may sound totally insane but we have a VIP tour booked on Sunday - after I run the HM. My SIL and her son are coming to WDW for the first time that weekend to join my fam of 4, and we've always wanted to do the VIP tour. We start at 12:45, plan to hit the big rides at HS, Epcot and MK...

    Caribbean or Port Orleans Riverside (Royal)? Help me pick!

    Hi all - we are doing a long stay in Feb and I'm adding 2 nights to the front of the stay to maximize our time there. We already have a split stay with DVC rented points - 4 nights at Riviera (1bd) and 4 nights at VGF (2 bd). Now I'm adding 2 nights in the front - the first night we arrive at...

    Princess Weekend 2022

    Question on timing - for the princess HM, if I wanted to book a massage at the GF spa after the race, what time would you suggest? I want to get some park time that day too (it's our last full day) so I was thinking 10:30 massage? I'm expecting to run the HM in 2:15 (maybe 2:30 with character...

    Help me plan which parks for Marathon weekend

    Hi - I am staying at Poly this weekend (1/7-10) with my 2 DDs (8 and 12). Last minute girls getaway! I know it's marathon weekend (I'm not running). We were originally staying at BW but I just moved us to Poly because a room just opened up and we've never stayed there (we love MK/monorail...

    How I got my Space 220 ADR (it’s not good news)

    Today was my ADR day. We are going for an 8 day trip in February but our on site hotels are split in 2 reservations (split stay with rented DVC points). Both reservations are linked to “my plans” on MDE but not until I logged in at 6 AM this morning did I realize that I could only make ADRs for...

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    Today I booked airfare and hotel for SS! Plan on doing the 10k and the 10 miler (can't make the 5k). We're staying at Swan Reserve - first time not in a Disney hotel. But we got a 1 bed suite for $460/night (like a DVC but no kitchen) and it's hard to beat that price for a 2 room suite with a...

    Princess Weekend 2022

    I am a maybe for the meet up! Would love to meet all of you... really depends on our park plans that day, and how I feel after the 10k. We're staying at VGF so might just do MK on the monorail after the race, but I'm adding this meet up to the calendar if we end up at Epcot (which is a...

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Hi - I am planning to purchase a bulk DGC order (probably $5,000) from BJs when they have the 6% sale that starts on 11/16. I have an Old Navy Visa that will give me 5x points at wholesale clubs in Nov & Dec. I'm thinking this is my best option right now - unless there's a better deal out...
