Springtime Surprise Weekend
I'm doing the challenge! I'm currently booked at the Poly tower but am hoping to move to a less points heavy 1 bedroom at 7 months.

I really enjoyed that article and it linking to other sources. Very well written, thank you!

I tried but didn't get in. I've already cancelled my DVC reservation. I've got a ton of points again! LOL!

I wonder if you can't check in since you aren't on the reservation? I'd probably chat with Disney to be sure it's all fixed.

Hope you got in today to your MDE! Looks like we can try again on Monday morning at 10am. Hope they got the bugs worked out.

Yeah that was a first for me. (But apparently not for RunDisney.) I'm interested in when the next time will be. It sounds like last time they did this they rescheduled for another Tuesday (I think 2 weeks later?)

Oh fun! My mom and I have started doing an annual 5k together. She said she wants to go every year until she cant. DH just said he'll run the half with me so I'll be trying for two now. That reminds me I need to book my DVC room for Springtime Surprise. Good luck tomorrow!

Ooooh I'd love to do the virtual one! Thanks Paul!
AddOn-Itis - how do you know when?
I havent hit too many yet. I first bought direct at GFV when they had the fire sale with the plan of banking and borrowing to go every three years since my kids were nearly grown. But they're disney kids (adults now) and dont want to wait three years so we're constantly borrowing. Also I really like hosting friends and
Unpopular DVC Opinions
While Disney Springs is right there the sightlines are pretty well protected. In most of the resort you wouldn't even know IMO. I think there are definitely people who hate on SSR but it IS a relatively cheapo deluxe resort for sleep around points. That by itself doesn't take away it's value - it's true. SSR isn't my f

It feels like an actual resort. I really like it. (still won't buy if there's resale restrictions but man it looks nice - although giant.)

Would original wands from probably about 10 years ago still work?

Thank you for this post! I'm looking forward to this resort but I don't foresee buying there if they continue the resale restrictions.
What's the next race theme you'd like to see?
Oooooh attraction themes would be amazing. Honestly I don't really care about the themes though. I pick my race based on my schedule and the distance I want.

I also love the Joffrey's. I've had it shipped to home several times even. I agree the mugs are so small, I don't buy them. When they had the metal star wars ones though - those were amazing. I'd buy one of those everytime if they still sold them.
I’m Planning Our First Direct Purchase — Follow Along
We first bought GFV direct when they were having that fire sale a few years ago. We sold back the first year's points to get the effective price down even further. We love GF but also the difference in price with that sale between direct and resale was negligible, and I was able to charge the purchase to get the cash b
Resale Availability PLUMMETING (again). Do you think this will drive prices up?
I'm not very versed on resale prices but it would make sense just from a supply and demand aspect.
Grocery Delivery
I love Water Butlers, probably a little more expensive than a big company but the service is great and I love how they package everything.
Favorite running trail at WDW
Mine is probably Pop/AOA. It's nice to have a big loop with a lot to look at.
Tips for a RunDisney first timer?
Personally I think running all three would be too much for your first. Getting up at 2 am three days in a row would be hard. My first run disney was the Princess Half Marathon in 2022. The 5K isn't timed, the other races have a 16 minute per mile requirement, but that's from starting in the very back. I think if you wa
