Ryan, we were able to roll our double wide Joovy stroller onto the Skyliner without folding it, which was wonderful! It’s a double that fits in doorways, and we had 5 people total, so it was a smooth fit. Do you think this was allowed per the situation or do you think we just got lucky? I hope not lucky because it was
These are all great shares! My family loves visiting Moana’s Journey of Water in EPCOT. Our 5 year old could explore for hours. It’s a good way to cool down during the day and have great ambience at night. Really fun for the family! Also, Tri-Circle -D Ranch at Fort Wilderness is worth a visit with kids. You can check
Definitely! Like I said, so many variables and each decision is so personal… The restrictions being a big one that almost tempted us to sway to add on direct. Double that down with cc flight benefits. Lakeshore is tempting again…
It’s been fun to read through this thread and see the thought and creativity from everyone. Thank you! You can put everything on a cc with direct purchasing for any amount at anytime. However, in most cases, It’s a big cost difference between resale and direct and we personally wouldn’t purchase direct because of being
Right on! If you use this route, I would suggest looking at the differences between the HELOC or HE paths and use the best for you!
We originally purchased in 2018 direct. Since then have purchased multiple contracts resale as well as another direct. When we first bought we had no idea about resale or really the ins and outs of DVC. We have since learned a lot and become very diligent in how we can make our purchases work well for us. If you can wo
We always park hop at Disneyland. It is so easy to get back and forth to utilize Lightning Lane and dining reservations most effectively. Especially, if you only have a couple of days at parks. If you do this, just plan your time well. Like Ryan said, Disneyland has great quick serve! Some sit down recommendations are
We always just took a car seat and had our kids sit in it while on the plane. It was good for them to sleep comfortably and we found it somewhat simple. Good workout at times packing it around! Also, we just rent a car via Costco just to get us to groceries, GCV, and the Alamo on Katella. Then rent another for the way
I am sincerely a little nervous about our next visit without one. I wish you luck! Having the option to rent if needed is great. What company did you use?
We order grocery delivery with all the snacks, lunch items, drinks, etc. that they will eat and pack them in a small cooler bag everyday. Our kids can be picky eaters, or want to live on French Fries (got the live on French Fries from me), so packing other items they will eat ensures some nourishment and saves on money
That is an incredible story of success and recovery, and an amazing way to celebrate it! What a tough little guy and supportive family. Also, that is great picture and beautiful family! Sending blessings!
What?! I feel the pain in the depths of my being.
This is something I have pondered quite a bit living in the west. I really wanted to purchase VDH and was anticipating it going on sale greatly! Then when details were released, I was deterred by the price per point on top of the transient tax to stay there. It’s a beautiful resort but I struggle to even click to reser
Oh man… I totally understand all of what you are saying! Our points are coveted. Also, taking the first jump to use them in a new way can be uncertain. There are so many variables involved with this topic and each situation is different. The amount of points you have to use, budget, how many people are going, age of ki
A part of me loves cruising and then going to WDW because after a cruise I’m primed for more, but after some going hard park days, I might be a little (emphasis on a little) more ready for home.
I think the park/cruise/park sandwich sounds great! I’m on that next time!
We love DCL too! Also, really excited for another WDW and cruise combo. Can’t come quick enough!
We have swapped many times and it is a great way to utilize any “excess” points or to add some variety to your membership! You can even swap for a portion of the cost of your selected swap experience and pay cash/credit for the remaining, which is in my experience, is really helpful! We have swapped for multiple cruise
We went on the Wonder to Alaska in 2024 and want to go back! Absolutely beautiful and majestic! We did the White Pass Railway in Skagway and it was cool! You mentioned you wanted to see Yukon. I believe there are options to allow you to see some of Yukon on that excursion. You can at least get a glimpse.
WDW and cruise combos are great too! So many wonderful options.
