Sept trip w Dd21. I want to try Boma for sure, will have 2 AK days. We usually do Y&Y, but want to try something different inside the park. Would TH be too similar to a Boma? Other recommendations? This TS would be on different Park day from Boma.

With DD21, maybe just consider trying out Nomad Lounge. I've only ever heard great things about the whole experience. Haven't done it yet considering I have tiny children but as did Tiffins a few times pre-kids and loved it.

I would second Nomads Lounge. I took my DD18 there a year ago and she really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. That trip we got the bread service and churros, but they have other meal type options too.

Remind me - will Disney transfer your luggage from one Disney hotel to another? I think I remember the caveat that it may take a long time for it to arrive?

I like to use AirTags in my stuff to see when it really does arrive at the next hotel.

Ooo good idea!! Thank yall

4:54pm by Britta4986

Yes, my stuff went Pop-AKL and didn't arrive until after 6pm.

Definitely gong to buy our first DVC contract ASAP so we can use points to book our September trip. Thought we were set on BLT but now considering SSR since we want a decent chunk of points 200+ to start. As a family of 5, we'll need larger rooms.

Will you be looking to book 1 bedrooms? Do the SSR rooms now have 5 sleep surfaces?

3:14pm by PrincipalTinker

Probably going to try for 2 bedrooms whenever possible since the kiddos are still small and the second bedroom would be handy for bedtimes/nap times.

3:19pm by HalfBludPrincess

You have considered the annual dues in your calculations? Also, the years left in each contract?

3:22pm by PrincipalTinker

Yes, dues are a little higher at SSR and it has a slightly shorter contract length but I feel like it's a similar overall value considering the lower upfront cost.

3:45pm by HalfBludPrincess

We bought our first contract at Kidani Village and then added our second contract there as well

We stayed at AKL in February and really enjoyed it so it's not off the list. Does anyone know of a site that tracks general 7m booking window availability to see if it's worth going with SSR if we would try to use points elsewhere first?

4:22pm by HalfBludPrincess

I have always used this site but they are showing a warning that their search tool began to fail at times. Their charts had been updated in real time https://www.dvchelp.com/

5:04pm by PrincipalTinker

Thank you! That looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Hopefully I can at least get an idea what's available :-)

5:07pm by HalfBludPrincess

@halfblud, I'm with you. Two bedrooms are my jam, 1 bedroom is second best. I think I'm still going to go CCV for my add on points but I'm watching SSR too. DVC fan does a good article twice a year on the "best" value. I'll find it. Also the world of DVC

...recently did a show where the guy who writes that article talked about it. I'll try to find that too.

Thanks @hodg!

If Epcot closes at 9:30 PM and we leave our car in the Epcot parking lot and take the monorail to the MK for extended hours will the monorail back to Epcot still be running when MK closes?

4:33pm by mtlott

I believe they will have buses. I always hear how WDW will always make sure you get back to your car.

4:47pm by Jennyhirsch

I do not think so. Believe transportation usually runs one hour past park close.

4:47pm by utang44

Tiffany Towncar experiences, good, bad, or indifferent? Mears connect for our group is about the same price so makes no sense to use a shared bus.

Yes they set the pickup time. If I recall I think they pick you up about 3 hrs before

2:21pm by simba77

Alright; I may have to do the trick where I list a later flight. We just don't need that much time with precheck and an early AM flight. I'll keep in mind when booking!

4:07pm by BlastThatPeterPan

The hired car sets your pickup time? Weird. I choose mine when I book Orlando Magical Rides.

4:11pm by utang44

Do the all-knowing Liners think the 3 day offsite window will allow me to buy a late night GOTG? Usually not offsite so idk if it will be sold out...Sun 12/14 (also a MVMCP night)

Ok, so there is a chance. Thanks all! Can't add a WDW res bc of the 8 day cancel window tho, right? I assumed anything within 8 days is non-refundable.

10:40am by TonyCross

Right. Some people eat the $117 as a LL booking fee.

12:11pm by evamarie320

I was offered a GotG LL purchase this past Sunday when I looked at the wait times, but I wasn't at WDW so didn't purchase. I'd say it is not impossible, but not likely.
