    It's quiet here

    I used to be on this forum a lot and when things sort of changed to phone photography I stopped checking so often. I never posted much, but read everyday. One of my favorite things was the scavenger hunt because it got me out with my camera. I would love to see it revived.

    September 17, 2023 Disney Dream Transatlantic from Southampton, England - 11 Night Cruise

    Just booked this cruise and are looking at hotel options in London and best way to get into London from Heathrow. There are three of us, making it more difficult to find a single room in the hotels. I spoke to Disney and their hotels are definitely a no go at close to $800 a night with one...

    Have you heard of this air conditioning system?

    York is a good brand. I would run from a Goodman, it is a low end builder grade unit. They have a good warranty if you can get the parts. I personally replaced mine with a Bryant. When I first started with my new HVAC company for routine service the service guy said oh good you have a Carrier...

    Looking to book 2 rooms at 7 mo

    The other thing to do when making the reservation is to only enter the info for one person to complete the reservation and then move to the next room and do the same. Do not waste valuable time entering information you can add later.

    We have driven straight through from Bethesda a few times and the drive is usually closer to 15 hours with stops. Just want you to be prepared for a potentially longer drive.

    For those "we eat 90 % of meals in room" people....How much do you spend on groceries?

    We also ordered Domino's Pizza the first night. We had a two bedroom and two studios at Beach Club. It may be a little tight with the refrigerator, but putting juices on the door helps a lot and we put water in the refrigerator in the studios. I had my Walmart delivery at 6 and they were...

    For those "we eat 90 % of meals in room" people....How much do you spend on groceries?

    For the week of Thanksgiving we were feeding 8 adults, a 9 year old, and a toddler and our grocery order at Walmart was $439. That included everything for Thanksgiving dinner, all paper products, and not eating any meals out. We thought it was a bargain. One meal out would have cost more than...

    What did you like to do with your grandparents?

    I was fortunate to have my maternal and paternal grandparents live next door to one another. We were a military family and saw them in the summers when my parents allowed us to spend the entire summer with them. To this day my brothers and I talk about my two grandfathers sitting on the front...

    Contact info for Grocery Delivery to DVC rooms please???

    We just used Walmart delivery and were very satisfied. There is no mark up, you pay in store prices. We have used Instacart, Garden Grocer, and Shipt. We have been equally satisfied with them all, but we are no longer willing to pay significant mark ups for our groceries.

    Vero Beach Room locations/ request

    We have stayed at Vero Beach in standard view rooms in the Inn several times and the view is always the parking lot. We are not in the room that much so it never bothers us. One time we were upgraded to Ocean view and the wall on the balcony is so high you have to stand for the view, but the...

    18 year old going, can she buy dvc gold pass?

    My adult daughter has activated a annual pass voucher without us there several times. I am not sure upgrading will work the same. To activate the voucher we called Member Services and they attached a code to my account. She went to Guest Services with the code, a copy of my membership card...
