    So much Disney food is terrible

    This is exactly what makes some CS better than others. If you order a burger at most of the Deluxe resorts you will wait 10 minutes or longer, It tastes like a different burger then one you get at the theme parks. Worse are the mickey waffles fresh they are good the ones sitting... the napkin...

    So much Disney food is terrible

    Years ago Cat Cook was good recent years (at least 6) and now it is not good. I love the Poly stayed at GF last year and staying there again this year really because I enjoyed sitting at Gasparilla for breakfast it is good. TOPIC Disney Breakfast is not good unless it is fresh unfortunately...

    🚗Car, 🚌Bus or 🚐Minnie Van from AKL? ALSO: Thoughts on MK Resorts Transportation Jan. 2025?

    I would have to think with 4 kids you will not be in a rush… well maybe to a chair or couch… At those ages pools are important however January may not be a time for that? CR is an easy walk Grand I never did it’s one stop on the monorail 🤷‍♂️. CR pool is last on my list Poly has a great splash...

    Why is Poly so expensive

    842 is high I would expect a cigar and it lit upon arrival. Any Hotel in this class outside of Disney will be over 500+ night these days Hotels have gone up everywhere. Disney does discount closer to the standard asking price everywhere. 200-300 in most big tourist areas will afford you a clean...

    What does “financially stable” mean to you?

    So many ways to approach this and yes it will hopefully become easier with age as your income should increase. I have high expectations. Pay with credit cards for rewards only (all) and is paid in full everything else is paid with cash. - this means your 401K and Savings are already fully...

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

    So I will add my 2 cents. We have owned for a little over 20 years. With this strong disclosure..... 20 years ago I cared about how many points I used. Back when I could book Value rooms at both BW and AK I rarely see any days when I look now. It seems the lowest point rooms for the most...

    I must be crazy……AUGUST?!?!

    We have gone most every month. July and August (we mostly go in August) can be very hot, Very average or rare nice. We had one week in early July years ago where it was in the high 70's and breezy 6 out of the 7 days. Another week it was 90 and did not rain 5 days straight. For the most part...

    Growing family and need help between OKW and Yacht Club.

    PS the walk to EPCOT or HS from the BW or BC/YC is fine BUT with young kids and a stroller...... The walk to EPCOT has 2 hills to go up then you need to walk to the other side of the park. Save it for older kids I made the mistake once (we own DVC) We were walkers at the time as we commute in...

    Growing family and need help between OKW and Yacht Club.

    The 1 BR at OKW are huge. The only downfall is the one bathroom. If your wife's sister is not staying in the same room you may consider a 2 BR as the price should be less then 2 rooms. You can Fit 5 in a 1 BR as it has a sleeper sofa and sleeper chair. The master has plenty of room for a...

    Any "Bad" Lyft Experiences?

    Surge pricing has to do with the availability of cars. Time of day and weather can play into this as well but mostly very early morning or very late nights. Best to have both Uber and Lyft and check both. Be aware you can wait long after the 2 minutes arrival time with airport traffic but you...

    AKL one room suites

    Villas are DVC on the 5th floor and they are spread through the hotel with Pool view and Savanna View for what should be through Disney direct. You can request close to lobby which may or may not be granted.

    Can anyone remember?

    Concourse was simple it was very open with just tables sorry can't recall the tablecloths only the food left a lasting impression. :-) Kona which we also frequented a lot is somewhat still the same just modernized and yes at one time there was a fountain and tropical "garden" in the Poly...

    Will Disney try to discourage split stays next year?

    The water parks for the most part empty out in the afternoon. This will bring people to the water parks have them spend money on food, drinks, towel and locket rentals (you have no room safe at that point) as well as slower housekeeping. Change as many times as you want. I was at TL last year...

    Do you tell your friends/family you own DVC or keep it private?

    We have owned for a little over 20 years being we have taken all of parents, Brothers (sorry no sisters on either side) a cousin (although his parents owned at one time) made reservations for some friends no one has had anything negative to say. We spend our money the way we want others spend...

    Can anyone remember?

    Maybe Concourse steak house at the Contemporary? It would have been longer than 10 years ago located where the contempo cafe is. No names changed at the Poly however Ohana had a great Filet and strip steak on the menu but I also think that was more then 10 years ago when the filet was removed...

    5:05 dinner at GF Cafe & 7pm MK entry to DAK - doable?

    I believe you can enter the park 2 or 2 1/2 hours prior to the start time. Personally I would eat a late big lunch or a CS around 4:30-5 the latest. I have done the Halloween party entered early went on a few less popular rides on the way to a CS ate and was done before the official start...

    email from receipts app

    You can report it as junk and block the sender but expect more with different email address. It was either a very lucky phishing email or a site may have access to your email. Try changing your email password and frequently if you don’t mind….. I know I don’t either but I also use a different...

    The actual Deed is filed with county clerk you get a copy when you buy the house. You will receive a letter from the bank saying the loan was satisfied. You can usually print the deed online along with the proof the loan has been satisfied but it should be a non official copy with that written...

    United CC

    If you had your frequent flier number when you applied for the card it will be attached to your account. The 300 credit is on the first purchase as a statement credit. You can also earn 25,000 miles if you spend 3k in the first 3 months. However like all other airlines the miles do not go very...

    Is there a pattern to Delta price changes?

    It seems the prices go up when someone buys the time you are looking at and sometimes on weekends. Yes air fare is very expensive this year. As above you can book a category usually all but basic economy and get a voucher or they may have a promotion with a new credit card to book basic...
