    "Official" 2024 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

    No, we aren't AP holders. Even though we go several times a year we don't go to the parks enough to justify being APs. When I booked our Behind the Seeds tour I also got the DVC discount, so I guess I'll just thank my lucky stars and enjoy the extra savings, it'll go to Disney anyhow.

    Do you consider Disney/DVC a hobby?

    I think yes because it's something my husband and I enjoy doing and talking about. Lately he's been on a "well if we get more points" kick. We are using up all our points in 2025 to take his brother and family to WDW and he's sad that it'll be our only trip that year with our points. He is...

    "Official" 2024 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

    So tickets are live and I have a question. It shows DVC pricing since we are going in September. We are DVC members but we shouldn't be eligble for discounts since we bought resale and are not grandfathered in. It will allow me to pruchase those tickets but for a $10 savings I don't want to run...

    "Do-over" trip?

    We’ve had two bad trips over the years. Once when our youngest son was 16 and his anxiety was really bad. He’s autistic and this trip some new issues popped up and he thought he was dying, kept asking us to take him to the ER. We had our 18 year old with us and we ended up having one of us stay...

    Covered Patio coming to Chicken Guy

    Not sure how I missed that she had a restaurant, after looking at the menu we'll be giving it a try next trip.

    from 0% to 100% how ideal is your current home?

    About 85%. Our house is old, built in 1915. We need to do some remodeling, but thats a constant. I wish my room was a little bigger but I do have a first floor bedroom and bathroom which is a rarity in a small century colonial. I wish my kitchen was bigger. It's 9' x12' and has 4 doorways in it...

    Solar Eclipse April 8

    In the path, hoping for decent weather. We traveled out west for the last one and the traffic in Idaho was insane. I will be glad to watch it from my yard. We shut the business down for the day. I plan on going nowhere that day.

    Pi Day Poll

    Never celebrated until my oldest was in 2nd grade. He had a teacher that made it a huge event, she was an amazing teacher. Our other kids also had her and we just added it into our annual celebrations. So for the past 20 years we've been celebrating it. Today I'll be making apple pie.

    Where do DVCers vacation … outside of DVC?

    We traveled all over when our kids were growing up, wanted them to experience as much as they could. Now they are grown and we like what we like. It's not that we aren't well traveled, it's just we are done. I enjoy relaxing and familiar trips help me relax.

    Where do DVCers vacation … outside of DVC?

    We camp for most of our non-DVC trips, usually locally in Ohio. We also like renting a house in the Outer Banks. We try to go to Siesta Key once a year or two. We are creatures of habit and prefer going to the same places over and over.

    Thoughts on resale via Fidelity?

    Our experience is limited since we only own one contract but they were great. The whole process was seamless and quicker than we expected plus the pricing was good.I'm not sure if their fees are higher than other brokers but the cost per point was way lower than other brokers. We will buy with...

    Tangierine Cafe

    My husband and I loved sharing the platter they had there. It was a nice, lighter option yet filling and that seems rare at Epcot. Sad that it's closed.

    Wendy's to test surge pricing

    Post pandemic we just don't eat fast food. The prices have gotten outrageous and the quality is worse than ever. I agree this will ensure we never eat there again.

    What's one question you absolutely hate being asked?

    "What's for dinner?" I guess I didn't realize what a big part of life making dinner would be when I was young. When my kids were young I often got "Are they all yours?" followed close by "You know how that happens, right?" Should be noted all five of our kids are redheads, like me, and they...

    Cabins at Fort Wilderness Points Charts Posted! For Sale and Booking Dates too!

    I do love the Fort, we love camping there but the pool just isn't that awesome and the quiet pool back by the cabins is super tiny. That to me, and the distant location of the cabins, is what makes me not even consider the cabins. Althought people do book the treehouses at SSR and it's kinf of...

    How often do you wash your bath towel?

    I wash linens twice a week. My towels get washed twice a week, same with my husband, the adults kids use a new one everyday. Someone is always doing laundry in this house since five adults live here and I only do laundry for my husband and I.

    Is the heat of September worth the smaller crowds?

    We enjoy September. We tend to only do one or two park days and spend the rest of the time at the resorts. I am a baby when it comes to heat and humidity but I don't find the month to be unbearable. But the crowds are still there just not wall to wall. Disney is always crowded.
