That is so fun @Tumble! We didn't make it to the grocery store today. Decided to go to Culver's for burgers, fries & custard.

Question about Poly balconies. Do the 2nd floor rooms at Aotearoa, Fiji, Hawaii, Niue, Rarotonga, Samoa, and Tuvalu all have Juliet balconies?

BC has Juliet balconies that you can stand on. Funny, when I Google it, about 1/2 of the results say you can steep out onto them and 1/2 say you cannot.

Stand out, not steep.

Is $19 per point a good price for DVC resale? We're booking from the UK, looking at AKL Kidani 2 bed. Exchange rate is good for us at the moment!

1:28pm by ExtraTerrorestrial

I would say yes. Do research you don't want to be ripped off

2:14pm by WorldTraveler34

Yes that's a pretty decent price, not a bargain basement deal but a few dollars less than the prevailing rate.

3:27pm by melcort10

You mean points rental? Is that thru a personal contact rather than an agency? Forget what we paid thru David's for BLT for May but sure over $20. We thought we did ok on exchange rate but it's better now.

4:47pm by hodg

Haha if someone is selling points for $19pp then tell me where to sign up!!

You want to see Xmas at it's best at Disney, swing over to WL -stunning :)

6:02pm by cdlla

Agreed at Cdilla! We experienced Christmas for the first time this past year and stayed at BW and Poly tower. Glorious! We stopped by at WL after a FW sleigh ride. We are using our home site to stay this time. Can't wait!

Congrats! I just rejoined too after more than a year. It's fun to be back among friends!

Welcome back! As an Ohio person I missed the obvious Jeep nod and thought somehow it was an Ohio nod.

7:24pm by IMarriedMyEllie

We pulled the trigger. Kind of? lol. We are booked for August and next February. But can only do one. Depends on extended family when we go. So just a waiting game at this point. Tell me what I need to study! Haven't gone since last year.

Any tea lovers... my favorite tea ever, that also happens to be Disney themed, is having a sale through Etsy only with code GROWETSY30. Sharing link below!!

This is only semi-related, but I fell in love with Twinings Lady Grey tea after having iced tea at Rose & Crown. Nowadays, I drink it hot daily. Recently saw a social media post that said people who like this tea loves Froot Loops as a kid.

3:38pm on 1/15/26 by utang44

The bergamot and lemon flavors are prominent in both the tea and the cereal. Never would have realized, but I can see it.

3:39pm on 1/15/26 by utang44

@utang, I got hooked on Lady Gray at a tea seminar at Rose & Crown (how I wish that wound return!) Also on Buttermint, which sadly is no longer available. It was so much smoother than Peppermint, and I'm hoarding my last few bags. But no Loops for me.

3:44pm on 1/15/26 by snowdiz

The Peppermint & Vanilla isn't the same as Buttermint? I thought they just renamed that one.

4:19pm on 1/15/26 by utang44

I saw peppermint vanilla while there the other day and was so intrigued!

5:35pm on 1/15/26 by LaurenInWonderland

Please note I've kept out of a tea thread for 24 hours... ;-)

NDR tea lovers: does anyone have some great Keurig decaf recommendations? I can't find a decaf chai I like.

9:00pm on 1/15/26 by olddonnaduck

They claim the Peppermint Vanilla is the same as original Buttermint, but not even close.......

"Buttermint" was the name of the suppository air freshener I invented back in '86.

11:45pm on 1/15/26 by Fatty McButterpants

@utang got hooked on lady grey after Quincy on AE mentioned it. It's the best!

1:53am on 1/16/26 by BlastThatPeterPan

I really like Lady Grey, too. But I never liked Fruit Loops.

Knoxville is getting Southwest, so it becomes an option soon. For this Southwest newbie, would there be a downside to booking my flight with a SW gift card?

11:42am by utang44

collapse thread

Calling @totsy! I think the problem she had was when she cancelled a flight (or maybe they cancelled?) they wouldn't refund the money on the GC. It became a credit that had to be used within a year. I exclusively fly SW on points so can't be certain.

11:49am by popupcamper

I love SW for companion pass, and haven't paid for a flight in years with the credit card. I did have to buy points for my May trip though but booking on points was worth it to me. Not a fan of the new seat rules though. The trip with my momma...

11:52am by popupcamper

...in April cost me a fortune to get her the bigger leg room.

11:52am by popupcamper

Somewhat relevant....just FYI that you can't use a SW gift card to pay for checked baggage. My cousin gave my dad some SW gift cards for Christmas and he tried to use one to check a bag and was told they can't be used for that.

1:17pm by erinfarquhar

Thank you, @erin. Delta is the same in that regard, which always annoys me.

1:25pm by utang44

Gift card is same as cash. The two cheapest SW fares are refunded as expiring credits: Basic fare credits expire 6 months from date of booking and Choice fares expire 12 months from date of booking. No problem with gift card for these.

2:47pm by Jennyhirsch

If you pay with gift card and cancel, you get a credit. The money does not go back to the gift card.

2:48pm by JenniferB1975

The 2 expensive fares after the foregoing are completely refundable. Those are the ones I'd book with a credit card, not gift card, so if I cancelled, I'd get the money back easily. That's where @Totsy ran into difficulties using gift card.

2:51pm by Jennyhirsch

I recently had Air credit that was going to expire. I bought the highest-tiered ticket and put $3 on a gift card. Held the flight a week or 2 and canceled flight. All the money reverted to a non expiring credit for another flight. giftcard=safer

2:59pm by JackOfAll

Like @PopUP I only use miles. Many times buying mile when on sale for 45 to 50% off it is better to buy miles for trips. I did that once and it cost me $20 a person more. SW has gotten horrible with fees even if you have the better CC.

3:05pm by JackOfAll

We are Delta people, so I probably won't ever get to a point I'm using points. I'm considering buying a gift card at a discount and then using it on my ticket, cause hey, I like saving any time I can. Doesn't sound like there's any hidden problem there.

3:12pm by utang44

The one I'm looking at is Choice, and I'm OK with a refund via credit. (Thanks Jenny for that breakdown!)

3:14pm by utang44

Also, with choice, and above, if you don't care where you sit, you can book the cheapest flight and then at midnight on the day you are flying, you can change to a different flight without having to pay the difference in price

6:08pm by BTFP

That's assuming they have seats on that flight. My daughter does this, but never at a time of year where you might not get the flight you really want. And since you're booking really at the last minute, you're going to be sitting probably in the middle.

6:09pm by BTFP

Not changing flights, that's for sure! I will be booking the only direct flight from Knoxville to Orlando. Good to know, though.

6:32pm by utang44

Recommendations for best YT channels for WDW. For DL I rely on Fresh Baked but he's not doing WDW now. Thanks

I often run park music loops on the TV in my office. I know that's not what you're looking for but it helps me relax! I just search Walt Disney World

12:16pm on 1/16/26 by cobia

I watch DVC Fan, Mammoth Club, WDWNT, Ear Scouts and Paging Mr. Morrow. I've recently found Addicted to the Mouse and like them too, but there's only so many hours in the day.

12:24pm on 1/16/26 by popupcamper

Mammoth Club, Super Enthused, Pixie Dusted Mom, and Paging Mr Morrow.

12:25pm on 1/16/26 by TumbleMonkeys

Thanks. I'll give them a try

12:50pm on 1/16/26 by daw623

I like ResortTV1 also

1:51pm on 1/16/26 by el_1102

Plan your Adventures and ResortTV1, Mammoth club

1:56pm on 1/16/26 by LaurenInWonderland

Addicted to the Mouse also has an excellent podcast, twice a week 30-45 min or so

3:09pm on 1/16/26 by KLuck

Adam Hattan, Mammoth Club, and Tim Tracker. Ear Scouts is great for any information on LLMP and rope dropping the parks.

4:37pm on 1/16/26 by allanmayo

Ear Scouts is our go to. Paging Mr Morrow is good, too

5:06pm on 1/16/26 by cdlla

I forget the name - think Disney unpacked- with @len and Jim shull- but think it's pattern only. Jim Shull has another YouTube series running too i think

1:38am by hodg

Presume you've watched the Disney plus seriess?

1:39am by hodg

Martins vids are amazing. He doesn't talk in them though so you have to read the screen. He does series so like the history of the land pavilion in 6 hours.

9:12am by popupcamper

Check out retrowdw or defunctland, they have some cool stuff.

12:11pm by el_1102

Ooooh defunctland is a great call. I forget about that one but extremely well done.
