I have to share the amazing service I have gotten from Member Services over the last couple of months. Any time I call in, I put in al my details and my hold time is less than 3 minutes. Yes--3 minutes! The person who comes on line is friendly, knowledgeable, and takes the time to make sure that...

I've taken Amtrak a number of times from Burbank Airport to Anaheim Station. A Lyft from there is about $11 mid-day to the Grand Californian. You can also get off at Fullerton, which is a smaller station, but almost the same distance. We have stayed at the Garland many times--my daughter was...

All resale: 200 pts at SSR in 2007 gives us all the perks. 100 pts at VGC in 2015 has most of the perks, 166 pts at BLT in 2019 has no perks. Early on, we did use points for rooms at Paradise Pier and the Grand Californian. Also did a cruise. Now, our points only go for DVC rooms or to rent...

If this has already been said, I apologize for the repetition. I own at VGC and have been very happy with 100 points in a March UY. It allows my wife and I to get a studio once in a year, then twice in the next year. We usually spend 3 nights and 4 days, which lets us satisfy our need for...

My sister-in-law just got back from Aulani, and we are heading there in two days. She says that the Olelo Room no longer serves the Popcorn Fries--a mixture of french fries with popcorn, green onions, wasabi oil, furikake, Kabayaki Kewpie Mayonnaise, and a mochi crunch. These are on of the best...

My pass expires in mid-September. I am using it for a trip next week, and we won't be back until next May. I'm going to wait, and may have to just get tickets for the days I'll be there. Good excuse to go to Knott's and maybe do a pool day. We have DVC points for the Grand Californian. We'll...

Ono Steak and Shrimp has excellent fish--not just batter fried stuff! DB Grill in Kappolei has Korean fusion that can be done as take-out--very good and lots of variety. Chun Wah Kam Noodle Factory has terrific stuff if you order if they are back to normal--we were there a year ago and they got...

Just for the annoyance, I tried the delete and re-enter on my phone. I'm grandfathered to 2005 at SSR, and also own at VGC and BLT. I have called MS and been told the usual. After redoing everything, and having the verification notices pop up on each step--no luck. My profile lists...

As of now, the Lines App is showing Radiator Springs and Midway Mania at 48 minutes, the Incredicoaster and Monsters, Inc. at 35 minutes, Guardians at 31--not bad for a Sunday. Genie+ might help--I don't know. Radiator Springs has a Single Rider line, which is all my wife and I ever use...

My family and I have eaten there many times since it opened in 2001. Last time was September, 2021. The buffet is quite good, with a variety of dishes. It is more adult oriented than Goofy's Kitchen, and is usually quiet with attentive service by the staff. The interior is very special with...

Look up which rides have Single Rider, since it differs from WDW. Definitely visit the "same" rides and compare. The whole complex--Disneyland, California Adventure, and Downtown Disney are closer together than Universal Florida attractions. I would recommend 3-5 day Park hoppers, depending on...

Another thing that may be confusing their records is those of us who bought resale prior to 2011 were 100% Members, with all the same perks and respect as direct buyers. We were even assigned Guides to assist us and answer questions (and send us sales materials on the new properties). Both my...

DB Grill in Kapolei. They do a loco moco with kimchi rice, and a lot of other fusion type items. Very tasty.

Where you stay depends on what you want out of the experience. We've stayed at Aulani on points 3 times, and it is an easy base to travel all over the island. Our pattern has been to go do stuff in the morning, nap and swim in the afternoon, and find dining at Kapolei or nearby in the evening...

Just got home Friday night (June 4). Brought my popcorn bucket and got a bag full just by showing it. Buy a cup of coffee and refills are free until 10:30 AM or when they pull in the urns. The Soda machines at Ullu are hidden behind the wooden menu boards on the left as you enter. One cast...

For a first time trip for adults, the GO Oahu card is a reasonably good deal to help prompt you to see some of the sites at a discount--Bishop Museum, the Buddhist Temple, Polynesian Cultural Center, Kuleo Ranch (I know I misspelled this), and such. We took a food tour that focused mainly on the...

For your age groups, definitely do a day trip out to Kualoa Ranch and the North Shore. Get some shave ice and eat at a shrimp truck. With a family, don't hesitate to go into Kapolei and do some meals--Chun Wah Kam Noodle factory, KOA Pancake House, DB Grill, etc. You can find lots of good food...

Not a port, but a sweet sherry. Osborne Pedro Ximenez 1827 is the best thing you ever put over vanilla ice cream. I make Nigella Lawson's Christmas Pudding with it. About $25-$30 a bottle.

My wife and I did WDW in 2018 from just after Thanksgiving thru the 14th of December. The weather was very comfortable, and we took a lot of days off from the parks to enjoy the decorations at the different resorts. We were able to squeeze in some additional reservations for meals and be pretty...
