    VERO BEACH Information & Adoration Thread

    I am thinking of adding a stay at Vero after WDW to relax. Will first week of March be too cold to swim at the beach? Or will last week of June better for swimming? I don't mind doing the parks in June, since we will not be at the parks much. We are planning a resort heavy trip, and we don't...

    Buying at Aulani.

    We have two small children. I am sure there are great time shares in Hawaii, but I feel Disney caters to kids the best. Aulani will allow us to have a nice time in Hawaii while my kids are being properly entertained. We have rented DVC at WDW several times, and love it, so I would like the...

    Buying at Aulani.

    Interesting, if I am reading this correctly most 1BR at WDW are not hard to book over the summer

    Buying at Aulani.

    We are considering buying DVC at Aulani. I am a Disney fanatic, so are my kids. But the hubs tolerates Disney for only a small amount of time for the kids (so when we go to WDW or DLR he stays on the resort 75% of the time). He only stays in one bedroom suites when we vacation anywhere because...

    Disney's CONTEMPORARY RESORT Information & Questions

    We have just confirmed our reservation at BLT for September 2018. We are so excited! A question about transportation, we have little kids and like taking midday breaks, how doable is it for AK? I heard the buses take a long time to get there and back, how long do they really take? Will renting a...

    DVC rental: David's vs rental store. Tell me all your pros and cons

    I have PayPal credit, so according to David's website I can get 6 months no-interest no payment right? I think between the fact that they are cheaper and the 6 months to pay I am leaning towards David's

    DVC rental: David's vs rental store. Tell me all your pros and cons

    I just went to their website, they don't have any info on payment. How do they work? 10$ to check and then bulk payment with CC? do you have to pay it all at once? thanks

    DVC rental: David's vs rental store. Tell me all your pros and cons

    We have decided we are going to try renting DVC for the first time for our 2018 trip. We really want BLT 1 bedroom standard view. No way we can pay for it if going directly through Disney. I was told I will need to request at the 11 month mark to make it happen Renting from an owner seems too...

    Dealing with a spouse who isn't into Disney....

    DH declares he "hates Disney" to everyone that asks. This is probably because our first trip as a family (which he was mildly exited about) was less than stellar. We were going to visit family in Orlando, and decided to do some days in the parks with our then 2.5 yo. It was sort of last minute...

    Going to Disney without the spouse

    Not sure if this has been proposed and wether it may work for you. How about all going to the trip but DH not going to the parks most days? DH hates Disney (or so he says) and I love it. After a couple trial and errors I found a way to do it together and all enjoy it. We spend a little more for...

    California Grill with Baby

    9 months is the perfect age to go to a nice restaurant IMO. My peds calls the age between 7 months and walking the "restaurant age", they are interested in looking around but not too wiggly yet. I took DS last year to WDW when she was 9 months and she did great in all restaurants. What worked...

    How long does it really take from BLT to AK and DHS?

    I wanted some opinions from folks that have stayed at BLT regarding getting to the resorts that are only serviced by bus. I have heard horrible things about the bus from BLT/contemporary to DHS and AK. Is it realistic to plan a midday break to return to AK in the evening to see Pandora if you...

    which of these resorts would you pick?

    We have stayed at an AoA suite and next time we are renting points to stay at Bay Lake tower. I will recommend looking into renting points to stay at BLT or staying at CR. I will not stay at AoA again. DS (then 5) loved AoA theming and pool, but the bus situation was terrible. Strollers...

    Which rides to avoid with 4 year old

    It is hard to say at that age. I will try everything she is willing, except Dinosaur, if scared of dark definitely skip it. What I would not do is force or bribe, if hesitant to go in the line just skip it. Yes some kids end up liking something they hesitate doing, but a lot of them don't. They...

    Better Hotel Choice with 2-1/2 year old

    I will pick YC. With a kid that age, stroller and mid-day breaks, the ability to walk/boat to two of the parks outweighs anything else. This means you don't have to fold the stroller (if your kid is sleeping this is a godsend) and your midday breaks for DHS and Epcot will be super quick. You may...

    Using a baby carrier on rides

    I carried my 9 month old in all the lines with my ergo 360 on our last trip. The official policy is the baby needs to be facing forward on rides, but it is not always enforced. It is really inconsistent but my observation was the bigger the baby the more likely to be asked to face forward. You...

    Taking Grandma along for the ride(s)...

    I think it depends on your touring style. I took 2 grandmas to WDW last year in July. There's was a definite need for afternoon breaks. But that was true for my kids also (5 and 9 months). So we all went back to the room. Not everyone returned to the park on the evening, but when that happened...

    South American Tour Groups

    I went to WDW in a Quinceañera trip from South America (too many years ago to actually say, so please don't hate me). So I can offer some insight. Those trips do happen when school is out, because no one is missing high school. The school year is in opposition to the US. There's three breaks...
