    Grand Floridian construction

    Is there any timeline on GF construction? We just booked September and got an email warning about construction. I thought it would be finished by then? Haven’t been to that reset in years. Can anyone give me some insight on what they are still working on or when the timeline is for it to be done?

    Current free gift for touring DVC?

    Very true. I remember back then all the planning website’s telling people to do tours for the free stuff even if you have no intention of buying 🙄

    Current free gift for touring DVC?

    Can’t believe how cheap they have got. When we bought we got fast passes, dole whip (at poly), a nice tote bag. We always get that email or call to come do a tour when we are there and get a “gift”. Once we found out it was a print it was a definite no. 😂

    Why did they reallocate weekends?

    So weird because we booked 10 days in May. I noticed some resorts (studio rooms), have 4 point difference between weekdays and weekends and some only have 1 point difference. So strange how they come up with this. OKW was 10/14, AKL was 12/14, CC 15/16, poly 17/20

    Moonlight Magic vs Disney After Hours

    I feel after hours crowds are lower than MM. we just went to the MM at HS in September and felt it to be crowded. Especially in Toy Story land. Lines were same as earlier in the day. Seems like they are more crowded than years ago. That being said, we did after hours once and don’t feel it was...

    Would You Stay in an Adults-Only Disney Resort?

    I didn’t say anything about rowdy, college wet t-shirt contests. I am simply talking about in general adults stay out later, have a tendency to drink more, etc when there’s no kids with them. I don’t want to hear noise after I go to sleep. We are at Disney and I am in my room to sleep. We had 4...

    Would You Stay in an Adults-Only Disney Resort?

    I am going with no. We are Disney adults with no small kids anymore. But we know when you go to adult only resorts and cruises it just brings out that party atmosphere that I’m not in to. I’d rather hear kids at my resort that probably are asleep by 10, then hear drunk adults on balconies...

    Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

    I’m going with 100% new association simply for wishful thinking. As a current owner at PVB, I don’t want it combined. Love my Poly, don’t have any interest whatsoever in that tower and don’t want to share my 11 month window with any more owners. It’s already getting harder to book. Throw in the...

    Is this accurate info on need to cancel party tickets?

    Not true. I just did it last month. My kids got sick while we were there and we had Halloween party booked for our last day. I called and they said they made me a one time courtesy and refunded my card. It went back immediately. The party was more than 24 hours away. Call back and get someone else.

    Help me! CSR or SSR!

    unpopular opinion here- but we just stayed at SSR last month for the first time and I will never go back there. It is always the last resort in DVC to book and I found out why. Sorry to everyone that loves it- my opinion of course. Maybe it was just bad luck but we moved halfway through our stay...

    Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Information & Questions + Construction Updates

    I’m scrolling and forgive me for asking this but I can’t find the answer. We are booked beginning of May in big pine DVC. It’s our first time staying at this resort. I know no end date for construction is announced. But does anyone with more knowledge than me know if the construction will be...

    Booking over 2 different use year question

    I have an October UY. We want to book September 29-October 8. Will it let me book this all in one reservation by borrowing to cover the first 2 nights?

    Bell services tipping

    I just saw a U.S. tipping guidelines chart online. It says bell services $1-5 PER BAG. So we drive and bring a lot. We fill a cart. Like maybe 6-7 bags, 4 backpacks, pillows, cases of water, food,etc. My husband always helps and does half the work unloading on to the cart and then we help unload...

    Almost ZERO Studio availability into January for ALL WDW DVC?

    You think that’s bad? I had the first 9 days of may booked at the poly at 11 months, we were trying to flip it at 7 month window to AKL or OKW to save some points for another trip later in the year. Everything was gone at 8:00am. I fought and stalked and got what I wanted but there is now...

    Is this walking a reservation?

    Nope. It’s always been 7 days max at the 11 month. We also do 9-10 days and have to go on every day after to add the next day.

    Week before Halloween or thanksgiving?

    Speaking crowds only….which is better? Not talking the week of the holidays but the entire week before.

    Why bother with waitlist?

    We just snagged 5 days club level AKL by just randomly checking at 3 months out. I seriously doubt someone didn’t have it waitlisted 😳

    Why bother with waitlist?

    Been my gripe for years. Can’t tell you how many times I have stalked and grabbed it before waitlist caught it. Have also got club level AKL by just being on at the right time and knowing that I’m sure someone was waitlisting that. I don’t understand why it doesn’t scan for waitlists BEFORE the...
