    Once you go Deluxe, do you ever go Moderate or Value?

    I've been spoiled most of my life always staying deluxe, typically the Poly or WL. My DH had never been when I met him and introduced him to the WL, and he too was hooked. But over the years as the prices climbed higher and higher, we simply couldn't afford them anymore. :sad1: So we bit the...

    Whispering Canyon Cafe Pony Races

    LOL thanks for letting me know. My DH and I love it there, but DS-5 has never been. I fully planning on setting him up - have him ask for a longer straw, that we just got back from Universal, and of course. . .can we please have some ketchup. :thumbsup2

    Whispering Canyon Cafe Pony Races

    Hello Everyone, We will be visiting WCC in Sept and are wondering if they still do the pony races around the restaurant for the kids? If they do, do you know about how often the do it? My DS who is 5 would love it! Thanks!

    Copper Creek Selling March 8

    :rotfl2: I couldn't agree more. Where is the Wilderness in the decor?? The villas are all so bland, with only a few rustic touches here an there. One of things that Disney was known for was the wonderful themeing in their hotels, now everything seems so generic. To clarify, I'm not talking...

    VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.0) updated 21 June 2023

    I don't see anything either to enclose the area (no windows?). I do like the open air concept, but should be a lot of fun during the next hurricane!!:umbrella:

    Never say never (even when your wait list is for something crazy)

    I just waitlisted July 4th at Vero for 1 night. I'm not sure how much luck we will have, but like OP said "Never say never" and this one does seem a bit crazy. :crazy:

    Shrimp and grits

    I'll throw in a vote for Boatwrights at the Riverside. I can't say if they are the most authentic, but they were delicious when we were there in Sept! Wouldn't hesitate to order a again - not for a second.

    How to wear/carry the new magic band..

    I just wonder how easy the puck will be to fall out - being banged around on rides.

    Haunted Mansion closed for refurbishment?

    I wonder if they'll put the monster hands back on the door before the clock at the end of the corridor of doors. Why did they remove them in the first place???

    Pirates as a FP attraction

    Couldn't agree more, lose the FP for this this one. When we went in Sept, at 7:00 pm there was a 65 min wait. . . .for Pirates!!! The queue was wrapping out of the attraction. We decided to skip it. I can't remember ever seeing a wait like that in Sept. :crazy2:

    Resorts - Where Does Refurbished Room Furnishings Go ?

    There is also the Theme Park Connection, which is not too far from the airport. They also have a lot of Disney surplus like Cast Connection, but they are open to the public. When we went in Sept, there was some furniture, but plenty of furnishings and all kinds of collectibles.

    VWL is now Boulder Ridge

    When we were there last month, we had a corner villa overlooking the construction of the south wing/new villas. All the walls/rooms themselves are gone! We watched workers walk straight thru from one side of the building to another (see pic). The only things standing were the supports. This...

    Which moderate is most convenient to MK without a car?

    Something else with regard to the FW cabins, you'll also get a full kitchen, living room, plus they can easily sleep 6 - although are the most expensive "moderate" option I believe. Since you'll be sending the most time near MK - the boat access is really great. There is one that goes directly...

    Southwest Park Tickets

    When the promo came out, it stated if you purchase an air and any Orlando hotel stay package - you could add WDW tickets up to 6 days at the 3 day price. I don't know if it was a glitch on the system or not but folks were able to purchase just the tix without purchasing the air/hotel package...

    Southwest Park Ticket Offer

    I just noticed that too. I'm no longer seeing the "up to 3 extra days option". Yesterday the Base tix price was $308/$290 for a adult/child (with the extra 3 days - total of 6), now the 4 day is at $348/$326, and if I change it to a 6 day its $379/$357. Maybe they got smart that folks weren't...

    Which moderate is most convenient to MK without a car?

    The closest option would be a cabin at Fort Wilderness. They are considered moderate, have boat access to the MK, and the cabins are really nice. Just be aware the FW is huge and has its own internal bus system you would need to use to go just about anywhere. All the other moderates are going...

    Is park hopper worth it?

    Here is also something to consider. When we went down with our 3 year old, we all had a 5 day 1 park/day passes. With him at that age, hopping would be too touch for all of us. But, my DH planned to hit RnR at the Studios an extra night. Rather than pay to upgrade to a hopper, we just added...

    Southwest Park Ticket Offer

    OK, just took the plunge too. We're planning in going in 2018, but this deal is too good not to jump on. 2 Adult 6 Day base tickets with a Nov 13 date entered. Just got the first two emails, will see if/when my bar codes come thru. :magnify:

    Are DVC folks still using the TIW cards? I see they are 150 now..

    We just got back from our very first trip as DVC owners and we did spring for the card. Three adults (myself, DH, and Mother) who all enjoy a cocktail with dinner and one child (DS). After extensive number crunching, it turned out to save us about $75 - give or take. I think it was worth it...

    Spaceship Earth - no "Greeting from your Future"??

    Yeah, we were really bummed and I hope they fix it. Just don't want to see it as yet something else that breaks they have no interest in fixing anytime soon (yeti. . .cough cough):crutches:
