Just in case Josh D'Amaro ever reads these forums for research reasons.. Let's give him some genius ideas to take Disney to the next level.
I don't think building a regular carousel would have the wow factor it might have otherwise had given the departure from design Universal went with in Epic.
Halloween Horror Nights - General Discussion
See, I was going to save money and skip HHN because I'm going to CA in Feb and I went to the houses in Vegas for my birthday and now, now they drop Sinners on us. I am never going to financially recover from this.

Uncle Deadly should be the Figment of Villains Land. I want fierce merch of the only other muppet Miss Piggy trusts for style advice. I also third everything said about Morocco. The shopping there used to be so fantastic.
New York DVC Members Lounge
Hello from LI! Bought in 2019 and usually fly out of Islip, although I've done the drive a few times and also taken Amtrak (not the auto train and never again without a roomette). Thought I'd be escaping the winter misery but it turns out being from wine country means I can't ignore the siren's call of F&W in September
Welcome Crawlers… Enter the Dungeon (Dungeon Crawler Carl Thread)
Has anybody backed the TTRPG? I just finished book 1 so I didn't want to read the whole Backerkit page. Does it seem complete or does it seem like something they'll keep expanding?
Unpopular DVC Opinions
The mug isn't for soda per se, it's for mixers. We usually stay in studios so buying Sprite/Ginger ale and Coke and lemonade and Guinness and a bottle of wine is not where we're at. But if you're talking about mugs for kids, I get it.

The savannah does not justify the walk to fill a resort mug and the bread service can be replicated with a trip to Trader Joe's.

I'm having trouble picturing where you put a murphy bed in that room. Take out the table? I don't know that you'd have room for that in a lock off.
Arrival day strategy
It's funny because I have done the complete opposite and used points for a one night stay before switching to Universal. I think it was 3 weeks before and a studio opened up so I changed my flight and had a water park day. There's something irresistible about squeezing in just a few hours, even if it isn't supposed to
Favorite Places to eat around Vero Beach
Earls Hideaway in Sebastian has NY-approved pizza but it is a biker bar, not a family restaurant. That said, if you're on an adults-only trip and just want to sit outside with a beer and a slice, or hear some live music, it's good pizza.
How difficult is it to get CA in Feb?
Ok, good to know I have a workable plan. Thanks!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets
My guess is that Walking on Sunshine will give the best experience. Song 2 is great but the energy is inconsistent, it could be fun but it has to line up exactly right. Rock! Rock! is kind of a head scratcher, IMO. If you wanted to go glam metal- Alice Cooper is right there and he was on the show.
Arrival day strategy
I am completely incapable of staying awake on a plane so I leave NY on the earliest flight, nap, and get to the resort around 10 AM. I pack my carry on for the pool and go straight there. Once I get my room I drop off my stuff then go out, pick up whatever food I want in the room, then go to dinner. I'm usually wiped o
No more room requests effective 4-19 !
Absolutely. If I'm at OKW I request ground floor. I don't care where and I don't need to take an accessible room from someone who needs it but my travel party often has 2 scooters.
Favorite Restaurant and Why?
I'd wake up the next morning and get the Al Forno Eggs at Trattoria al Forno. It's perfect every time. There are a dozen fantastic Italian places near me and not one does breakfast, so it's an only-at-Disney opportunity.

If you're willing to roll the dice on traveling with it, the Mickey tie dye activity is a neat souvenir for kids. I always end up with an abundance of plastic bags so I triple wrapped a pillow case and a onesie for the niblings. Made it home fine.

👋 So do people still need to talk about the photos, do you think?
Ideas for What's Next?
I think the success of the Nintendo IP in parks should give them reason to look at Kingdom Hearts. I also think they aren't using Lorcana to their best advantage.
DVC Ownership Approach
We bought the cheapest smallest direct contract we could to qualify for a blue card at the time, three months before they increased the minimum. I researched obsessively so I already knew I could add on through the resale market. In hindsight I would have picked a different use year because my travel habits have change
