    Marching Band/Parade

    Hey MVK, I'm a band director whose band marched in MK on March 5, 2020 (we got it in BEFORE all of this craziness started!) Disney performing arts can truly schedule the bands at any point in time during the day based on the number of bands they have performing that day. The first performance...

    AKV Savannah View Studios - Jambo v Kidani

    I can absolutely understand that. I stay at Pop Century in March right before the closures with a high school trip and that was my first experience with the skyliner. Its AWESOME! The main reason we have a stay at Riviera booked for March.

    AKV Savannah View Studios - Jambo v Kidani

    I hadn’t realized so much was different at Jambo due to Covid. Maybe book the studio at Kidani and then watch availability and what is/isn’t open and move the reservation to Jambo

    AKV Savannah View Studios - Jambo v Kidani

    Hi everyone! Tomorrow I will be making a reservation for our first ever stay at AKV. This has lead us to a big question.... Jambo or Kidani? We are definitely staying in a savannah view room so my question to AKV Vets is this: which do you prefer and why? They both look beautiful but we are...

    Question about adding on points in regards to home resort

    Hi everyone, We currently own a 100 point contract at CCV that we purchased direct in 2018. We love the BWV / BCV area and it’s widley known that that those two resorts are very hard to book at the 7th month window. So I guess here is my question, if we would purchase another 100 point...

    Another Magic Express Question

    I currently have a reservation at SSR with BWV and BCV waitlisted. If I fill out my DME request now for SSR what happens if my waitlist comes through? Does it switch over to? Will I have to call and change it myself? Thanks!

    Cobbling together single nights. Can they be one room?

    Do you think this is why some people have had more success finding their desired accommodations themselves online rather than their waitlist requests? I've seen lots of posts saying that they don't trust the waitlist. Should you call member services occasionally to keep the CMs looking at your...

    Cobbling together single nights. Can they be one room?

    I had a waitlist come through for our trip this past June. We had a week booked at AKL but waitlisted the same week at CCV. When the waitlist came through at CCV, the reservation just switched over with no other action from me. I'm not sure what other's experiences have been, but thats mine...
