Went through the Costco refund form on March 19. The full refund finally hit the credit card yesterday (April 3rd). The whole process took just a tad over 2 weeks.

I filled out Costco's online cancelation form around 2pm today (Thursday, March 19) for Wonder's April 12th cruise. This is one of the officially canceled cruises with 100% refund or 125% future credit option. Costco's form does have the correct option available for my choosing. I got an...

Cruise date: 4/12/20 (Wonder / Mexican Riviera) Disney contact: 3/16 Offer: 100% refund or 125% credit within 15 months (and full refund if not used by 15 month)

Yes. Pretty good view. Although obviously from a high angle.

Room 1081. Island View dedicated 2 bedroom.

Enjoy your report so far. We are doing the almost exact reverse of your itinerary. We are at the 3rd day of Grand Wailea in Maui right now and will be flying over to Aulani for 6 more nights later. We are Aulani owners and this will be our 3rd trip to Aulani. It does feel much like "home" at...

I don't remember the exact model, but it is either Olympus TG-3 or TG-2. I think the current version is either TG-4 or 5.

Thanks for all the tips from this thread. We went two days in a row and were able to see turtle both days. We did a quick recon on the 1st day and saw some from the beach. 2nd day we were dressed for the swimming. We also saw one the 2nd day and this particular one is very friendly. If you...

I made an Amazon Prime Now (their 2 hour delivery service) at Coronado Spring Resort (which is also a Convention Resort). It was delivered to the Bell Service. There is currently no $5 charge for the packages/delivery.

I can confirm that Amazon Prime Now (i.e. their 2 hour delivery service, which can include simple grocery stuff) did NOT incur a $5 charge at Coronado Spring Resort (a convention center resort). I had an order with a flat of bottled water and various other snacks/things. It got delivered to...

No problem here in SoCal land either. I was able to purchase $900 (3 separate $300 transactions on the self checkout). My local store had $100 GC this time around. This is much easier when compared to last year's Disney $25x2 and you get $5 Target GC deal. Nothing like trying to combine 40...

This Disney website is not the most intuitive. You only need to add and save the "main" one. The rest you can just "transfer balance" without actually saving them into any of the 4 left-over spots. I usually save all my physical cards until I spend the main one (usually to payoff my DVC dues)...

Yes, buy separate. We do Disney related stuff with another family (cruise, WDW, Aulani, etc.) together. However, both families bought separate DVC contracts. We do "pool" DVC points together to get the larger Villas instead of two separate smaller rooms. Instead of borrowing each others...

I grew up in SoCal, is a Aulani DVC owner, and have been to WDW couple times. Like everyone said, DL, Aulani, and WDW are all very different destinations. You can easily spend a week at WDW+water parks+Universal Studio (if you want) without feeling like you been to the same thing twice. That...

Sitter service is actually provided by an outside vendor contracted via Aulani. You do have to go thru Aulani to book the service. We left our younger ones with the sitter when we went to Diamond Head and other stuff where the younger ones didn't care for. The sitter brought age-appropriate...

$5 promo should end by Saturday if it is like all normal Target promotions. Whether your local Target will restock $25 cards will be a different story... You can use the $5 Target Gift Card on the next round of purchase. I did 8x$25 which netted 4x$5 Target Gift Card. Next round of 8 only...

I did a speedtest.net run in the room while I was there about a month ago. IIRC I was getting about 9 to 10 Mbps for download and just about 4 to 5 Mbps upload. This was on a MacBook Air. It certainly was fast enough for most common web surfing. I did this at night. The room I was in (3...

Came back from a 10 day trip not that long ago, couple random thoughts: If you care, keep track of room cleaning. The schedule really is hit-n-miss. If you stay with points, the cleaning is supposedly be trash/towel on day 4 and full cleaning on day 8. For whatever reason, we got full...

Seriously consider renting a car if you can. Couple advantages: If you are staying on points (rented or your own), parking is free. Depending on the season you go, rental price can be really reasonable. Our 10 days rental for a standard SUV (i.e. Toyota RAV4) was only $300 tax included...
