    How To ESTA

    We received the approval less than 24 hours later! That’s a relief. I was worried they’d have to apply for a visa which is a very lengthy process due to massive backups still left over from Covid. So all’s well that ends well. Disney World here we come!!

    How To ESTA

    Wow just applied for an esta for the first time. It’s for my granddaughter (I’m an American so I don’t need one). I couldn’t get the mobile app to work at all so finally after more than ten attempts on multiple phones I went to the regular esta website on my desktop computer and wonder of...

    Disney Cruise Line Updates Castaway Club Membership Requirements

    i offered our (adult) kids a disney cruise in europe next summer, but they opted for the Oasis of the Seas out of barcelona instead. They were pretty unhappy on their last two disney cruises (4 night wish and 7 night alaska), so they figured why repeat disappointing experiences.

    Disney Cruise Line Updates Castaway Club Membership Requirements

    that benefit is incredible!!!!!! 4 free drinks per day (up to $14 each per day) that's just amazing!!! sadly, we're only platinum as we only started back with royal in 2022.. and we can only cruise once a year so it will be a very long time before we make diamond...

    Disney Cruise Line Updates Castaway Club Membership Requirements

    we're gold. we'll probably go beyond the 5 years and thereby lose our status. Another reason for us to stick with Royal. We've begun cruising with Royal as we like the product better. It's slightly cheaper, but not significantly, since we mainly cruise in Europe where all cruises are rather...

    Beach Club Renovated Room Request?

    i called member services and requested the 4th floor in hopes of getting a murphy bed. But i'm sure everyone else is also requesting the 4th floor, so i don't know how good my odds are. Here's hoping. I also understand they're re-starting renovations in August, so i guess they'll be working on...

    Beach Club Renovated Room Request?

    their latest promise is that they're going to restart the refurb in August and finish in "late fall". If you believe them, i have a bridge to sell you. in any case, as of now and presumably also in July, they've only completed the 4th and 5th floors

    Orlando area shopping - all tips, advice, warnings, suggestions welcome!!!!

    i found it on the map. That's definitely not the one we went to. Looks like an interesting location. It gets good reviews on google. And as you pointed out, it's near the outlet mall i'm going to anyway, so i can check it out at the same time.

    Orlando area shopping - all tips, advice, warnings, suggestions welcome!!!!

    that's the exact area i was looking at on the map when i said i thought i should turn in the other direction from disney to try out the target and walmart on that side. More in the area of windsor hills/four corners. I see on the map a walmart supercenter and target there.

    Beach Club Refurb…only 1 and 2 bedrooms getting the Murphy bed?

    given that they've stopped the refurb after completing only the 4th and 5th floors, right now nothing is getting a murphy bed

    Help me decide- 1 Bedroom Villa at Bay Lake Tower or Kidani Village

    we own at BLT, so perhaps i'm not the most objective, but for me BLT will win every time simply based on location. Walking to and from MK can't be beat as far as i'm concerned. however, i also like BLT, which is odd since i've never been a fan of the contemporary. But i really enjoy staying at...

    Orlando area shopping - all tips, advice, warnings, suggestions welcome!!!!

    thanks! We went to the florida mall about 20 years ago, and i thought it was pretty sketchy even back then. I've never been to the mall at millenia. It will be interesting to see how it is.

    Stopped working on BCV after 2 floors now starting Beach Club Resort??

    disney can't finish anything anymore. Universal builds an entire theme park in the time it takes disney to just update the soft goods in one little resort. It's pathetic. Disney could do it if they wanted to. They simple can't be bothered anymore. When i reserved our 1 bedroom at BCV, it was...

    Orlando area shopping - all tips, advice, warnings, suggestions welcome!!!!

    yes, that's exactly why i'm asking. back in 2019, my daughter and i went to the disunplugged podcast meet (or conference or whatever it was called) We did a small amount of shopping. We tried several different walmarts, but couldn't find any that didn't make us really uncomfortable. We could...

    Orlando area shopping - all tips, advice, warnings, suggestions welcome!!!!

    Going to WDW in late august/early september 2023. This time it's without family. I'm meeting my best friend from university, but i'm arriving a week early to do some serious shopping. I'm planning on Mall at Millenia (never shopped there but i figured i'd try it since i'm on my own). Also the...
