Disney Springs Resort Bus Verification Becoming Permanent After July 4th
From my understanding, you are correct. Your ability to resort hop will not change since you stay on property. Anyone staying on property will be able to resort hop.

Disney Springs Resort Bus Verification Becoming Permanent After July 4th
This policy is long overdue. The resorts and transportation were getting seriously overcrowded. This policy will cut down on that, which is great news for those that are paying the money to stay on property. I heard there were restrictions trying to walk from the Transportation Center to Poly, as well. They were turnin
Question of the Day: Are you planning to attend Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party?
We are attending Jollywood instead.
Favorite Restaurant and Why?
We used to reserve Sci-Fi for every trip. That place is the best when it is hot outside. My daughters, who are older now, loved that place. We didn't eat there for a few years and then went back last year. It didn't disappoint!
What is your hidden gem restaurant at Disney?
Going off the theme of small take out dining in the parks, we love the corndogs at Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom. And it seems like every time we are there, a parade is going by. Add in the fact that it is right across the "moat" from the castle, it's a great quiet spot to grab a quick bite.
Favorite modes of transportation within WDW?
Yeah, it can get busy. But it depends when you try to ride it. If it’s after park closing, it is JAMMED. However, we have really good luck and don’t run into it being too busy when we are riding it mid-day. The monorail has a special place in my heart…it’s so Disney!
Hello from the REAL Saratoga Springs (New York)
If you do, I recommend anytime from mid July through Labor Day. That’s when the horse track is running and the entire town is electric. Although, fall is also gorgeous with tons of things to do outside (Saratoga is located at the foot of the Adirondacks). Stay away from winter…it gets COLD!
Tracking the New Lakeshore Lodge "Letters from Lakeshore" updates
Man, those pictures show just how massive that property is.
Favorite modes of transportation within WDW?
Honestly, I am shocked to see the Monorail getting beat so badly in this poll. It’s iconic with Disney. I thought more people would vote for it just for that reason alone.

Disney should definitely extend the Skyliner to Animal Kingdom and Animal Kingdom resorts. Total no-brainer. That would make them feel a little more connected to the rest of WDW.
On the fence about DVC resale...
I 100% with "buy where you want to stay". You'll be sorry if you don't, especially when you go to book at 7 months during a busy time of year. Also, everyone must make the decision between resale or direct (other than those that don't even know resale exists!). For us, resale was a no-brainer! We bought a 200 point BCV
Price per point VS. Dues per Point
Correct. I recently posted a comment on this exact point. When I bought into BCV, I calculated the average dues increase per year over the life of the contract based on the historical dues increases each year. I also looked at the average variance off that average (how often and by how much, on average, is there a spik
Beach Club Villas Owners Thread
There have always been two different colored building at BCV. The light blue color if for the non-DVC part of the resort. When the DVC portion of BCV was built, they used the different color to identify that DVC portion.
Beach Club Villas Owners Thread
Crossing my fingers for you that you make it through ROFR! You made the correct choice...BCV is the BEST! To answer your question on securing a reservation, it depends on the time of year that you want to stay and the room you are trying to book. We usually go during busy times (October-December, Run Disney) and, provi
Plans for contracts expiring in 2042?
I agree on the extension. If Beach Club offers an extension, I will probably sprint to buy it. But from everything I hear on podcasts, DVC is unlikely to do another extension due to the chaos of the OKW extension. We'll see. We are kicking the tires on the idea of selling our BCV and using that money to purchase somewh
Unpopular DVC Opinions
That’s aweful. People can be so rude and inconsiderate. The rule is to treat things like they were your own. I don’t know if it’s because people are paying for a room so they feel they can do whatever they want with it? Or maybe DVC owners think they can do whatever they want because they are “owners”? Although, they w
Favorite modes of transportation within WDW?
We will have to try the Minnie Vans. We haven’t done that yet, mostly due to the cost.
Favorite modes of transportation within WDW?
Context can definitely play into it, but the question is more about which mode of transportation you would take if it was your choice. Generally speaking, what do you enjoy more? For me, the boats are so relaxing especially on a nice day. They cant be beat. The monorail is iconic with Disney, so it is fairly solidified
Favorite modes of transportation within WDW?
Yes! That was my favorite, too. The soothing sound of the boat horn as you are heading to or from a park?! Come on! And it’s such a relaxing mode of travel…the soft rocking of the water is a perfect way to get from point A to point B amid the sometimes hectic days of park hopplng. It’s the best!
Making an Offer - Etiquette
Spot on! When I was purchasing my BCV resale contract, I did my due diligence across all the broker sites to get an idea of what my offer would be. I found the contract I wanted on one broker site and submitted my offer. The broker agent reached out to me and told me that offer would offend the seller. Offend? LOL. The
