Question of a lifetime. Ok I have booked thus fri sat my usual clarion inn. Points free vacation this weekend. 24,000 points. However holiday inn (Kissimmee) has a special use points get a room free like zero points or 34000 for 4 nights. The issue is

The 4th night. I would have to drive down after work Wednesday check in. Maybe thinking go to Walmart stock the fridge ect. Then go home. Not really use the room. However then on Thursday we would be checked in all ready. So thoughts??

5:35pm on 6/29/26 by TheREALniter

I always do the most convenient but I am old. Have a good time no matter what you choose.

5:41pm on 6/29/26 by 58breezy

If I'm understanding correctly you would spend an additional 10k for a 4th night but not even use that night? If you like Clarion and it's the same as holiday inn I would go with saving points.

5:56pm on 6/29/26 by youcanfly

So clarion is 8000 points no bonus nights the holiday inn is like 9000 it's 9000 it's then like 17,000 points then 0 points or bonus free night something like that

6:03pm on 6/29/26 by TheREALniter

So its like drive down check in stock fridge drive home come back with room ready to get the 4th night free

6:04pm on 6/29/26 by TheREALniter

Ok so you are earning points and getting the 4th night? That would be a win win. Just the drive, about an hour? What time will you be there on Thursday?

6:16pm on 6/29/26 by youcanfly

What's the point of getting a free night if you're not going to stay there?

6:36pm on 6/29/26 by Flutegarden

No sorry I have always been bad explaining 34000 points for 3 nights igh or 34000 for 4 nights. They give u a bonus night zero points if u book 4 nights instead of 3

6:53pm on 6/29/26 by TheREALniter

I sense a cold coming on @niter. Think you might have to call in sick one day.

6:56pm on 6/29/26 by evamarie320

And yes good question on the point of doing this. My mind is 34k points for 4 nights is a better deal then 34k for 3 nights. But i have to be creative. Thinking after work drive down go food jumping stock fridge go home next day drive back and wala

7:03pm on 6/29/26 by TheREALniter

Im the same way Niter. I see the perk. You will be settled. The room set up..unpack. its prep work and frees up time on the first main day. My personality would do it.

6:54am by jennandbarn

So i did it. Changed all my plans!! This weekend will be off the chart awesome! 3 nights special fireworks MK midnight closing.

Do you guys have the Inspire credit card? I see it has a $149 annual fee. Is it worth it? I have the regular Disney Visa but if I could save more than the annual fee I might get it.

9:11pm on 6/29/26 by vickiwaffles

collapse thread

I have already paid for my annual fee with the Disney Plus/Hulu $10 mo credit, the credit for ticket purchasing and I'm almost to the credit for spending 2K at Disney resorts, restaurants, on property so I would say yes :)

9:23pm on 6/29/26 by cdlla

If not playing the larger points game and a Disney person, for Liners is almost certainly worth the first year with the bonus and the potential resort & ticket rebates etc. especially if you play 2 player game by using spouse / friend referral link.

11:08pm on 6/29/26 by JJT (staff)

After next year's annual fee hits you can reevaluate if the credits and points earning worked for you and if not just downgrade to the no fee card. :)

11:09pm on 6/29/26 by JJT (staff)

If I have a yearly subscription to D+, can I still get the $10 per month credit? Does buying an AP count toward a ticket purchase?

7:12am by vickiwaffles

AP counts as tickets but you'd only get a single $10 credit on the month the annual plan is billed.

7:25am by HalfBludPrincess

But if you do monthly on D+, you earn 10% on the whole amount then get the $10 credit so for us doing the Hulu/D+ bundle with no ads at $19.99/mo, we get $2 in rewards dollars then the $10 credit so net it's only $8/mo.

7:29am by HalfBludPrincess

i have it. And ive already earned the credits i can earn without being on property. I really should switch back to my sapphire reserve for a bit but there is just something about that gold mickey.... :p

7:56am by Totsypooh

Definitely worth it for me. I got a $300 credit for spending a certain amt in my first few months. I get $10 off per month of my Disney Plus Hulu package, making the ticket spend amt will be easy since LLs count. Making the resort amt will be trickier.

8:30am by evamarie320

Thanks for all the info. I have a dcl cruise that I have to pay in full at the end of July do I'm thinking this card might work for that.

9:39am by vickiwaffles

One more tip: when many of us applied when it first came out, most people were approved in a day or two and had their cards a week later. Mine took longer because I had frozen my credit to prevent fraud. So you might want to unfreeze,then apply, then

10:42am by evamarie320

refreeze if that applies to you.

10:42am by evamarie320

@eva Good reminder! Everyone: ALL of your credit report profiles for you and your family should be frozen all the time and only thawed temporarily when applying for credit. Super easy to do these days and free.

11:37am by JJT (staff)

I had actually forgotten my credit was frozen. And Inspire didn't contact me for a week to say please unfreeze. Here I thought I was t getting approved for some reason while everyone else was. ;(

11:55am by evamarie320

How do we freeze? I've done it through the online identity theft program we use. Anywhere else?

55 min ago by aliceinwonderla

I went directly to each of the three credit bureaus and did a freeze. They make it pretty easy.

@alice When doing it DIY you create an account at each of the main credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. Not sure how a 3rd party ID theft program works with those bureaus, I don't use one of those. :)

43 min ago by JJT (staff)

I have mine frozen with each credit union. Went in and unfroze when applying for the Southwest card, then refroze. Did the same for mama when we needed her made the main cardholder as dad was removed from cards.

Looking at the price chart for all dates in the year, there are certainly parts of the year where you'll see significantly lower prices for this room - but August is NOT typically one of them. 32% under that median is a great deal!

Just a question about rentals. If not rented, is the money lost?

10:44am on 5/25/26 by 58breezy

@58, do you mean for the owner? It depends. Some points need to be used or owner loses them. But often if it's not rented the owner just cancels and puts those points on another rental.

10:52am on 5/25/26 by evamarie320

If you mean for the re tee, yes if you rent points and then don't use them it's often a loss for the renter. Some agencies have exceptions or "insurance" tho.

Excellent price for both the usually higher priced Spring Break AND full week! Comparing to all multi-nights, I'd expect to see a dozen or so listings around this price over time. BUT, when comparing to 7-nighters: last year we saw a single one at $353/n.

The AP discount for those dates hasn't been announced yet. Only available through 12/24 at this time.

12:14pm by utang44

AP discounts for lodging have usually been slightly smaller than Bouncebacks, both with limited availability to certain room blocks. Add on 10%-plus AP discounts at most WDW dining and stores, sometimes more (40% on entrees certain TS dining this summer)

Do you think they can handle an ECV with the disorientation issues? You can use a wheelchair but some parks have more hills than you might think. Disney has more walking than one thinks. What parks are you doing?

7:16pm on 6/29/26 by nightowl04

That sounds like you need a wheelchair. I pushed my mom all around the parks a few years ago and it was hard but doable.

7:42pm on 6/29/26 by mnfc

Any idea which resort? I'm just thinking about if sometimes she wants to stay at the resort, I would want a balcony.

AKL with a Savannah view

7:47pm on 6/29/26 by bucketfoot

Definitely a wheel chair. Hands down. 100%. I wish id spent the 100$ in may to use a wheelchair even if it was only one day use (out of three.)

8:55pm on 6/29/26 by melodicwords

My mum has parkinsons and her energy level and mobility is about 10%. She was probably the happiest me wheeling her around disney springs.

We are staying at Riviera (my DVC home resort) from Sunday to Thursday and then moving over to copper creek.

A wheelchair we pushed our son after surgery and it works fine. You have to be strong enough to push the wheelchair.

The only places I've really struggled at WDW pushing a wheelchair are Epcot International Gateway and the nearby bridge, and entering AK going toward Africa.

9:14am by Ali Ababwa

I pushed my mom in a cheap $100 wheelchair. She is light to average weight. It was draining in the heat. Oct. might be better. You don't realize how many inclines and areas of bumpy pavement there are when walking. Spend extra and get a great quality one!

And steering around ppl and curbs is challenging. We rented @MK for mom @80. She used it as a walker, pushing it herself for stability. Sat down @QS & waiting for us on some rides. Worked fabulous to have an instant seat in shade.

I tried ECV in SF when I broke my ankle hiking. It was really really dangerous. Close to rolling over coming off bus caused me to grip and accelerate uncontrollably. Thank goodness for DS30 grabbing back so I didn't splatter all over Trader Joes wall!

How does she do with scooters at stores at home? I get disoriented at times but never ran into anyone. Also will she be alone driving the scooter or will you be with her?

They have recently amped up the geofencing. I would expect it probably means "off the monorail somewhere inside the building" but I could be wrong. They may be trying to further restrict to resort guests.

4:33pm on 6/28/26 by Ali Ababwa

Copper Creek is my home resort. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered from the boat heading in so I can grab my food and go back to the room. That's been awfully convenient. I guess all I can do is give my feedback the next time I stay there.

4:44pm on 6/28/26 by nightowl04

Staying at GF on points. One of the benefits of staying in the monorail area has been the accessibility to the other resort hotels and dining options. I guess I will test this next week.

4:46pm on 6/28/26 by nightowl04

It wasn't that strict 13-20 if it had been I wouldn't have been able to order from my room and later the next day, well after we checked out we did another mobile order from outside by the pool and tower area.

7:09pm on 6/28/26 by youcanfly

I had my day semi planned out (short trip). Captain Cook can be busy (wonder if this change will change anything). I will adjust as needed but was unsure if I would be close enough at GF to do so. I generally want to get everyone's order and then walk

7:27pm on 6/28/26 by nightowl04

over. As of now you can't order. You can modify certain things in the app you can't tell by just the menu.

For Android folks, I just posted this in a similar forum thread: I've heard* that on Android if you use a FakeGPS app and set your location somewhere else before your start MDE, you can join walk up lists that would normally be "too far away".

Just curious, do we know when exactly it went into effect? I was at Poly week of June 15 and was able to mobile order from my room. It would be so frustrating if it's not available for the actual property.

Returned from poly tower a week ago. I could mobile order from all poly locations from my room. I could do GF, CR, and WL once I got off monorail/boat. I'd get the message about mobile ordering only being available to resort guests, but orders worked.

That was my experience, returned the 20th. I hope this isn't something new.

It went into operation on 6/27

There's a trick to use a vpn to trick the locator somehow isn't there? Someone used it to get on walk up list I think at 3 bridges? ? @phil?

There's still the difference between ordering and "I'm here", right?

My understanding is you can't even order if you're not close which I hate. Hopefully it stays limited to those few resorts.

My VPN won't set that specific but I did wonder if it would work. Apparently this "geofencing" is very specific, I'm guessing it's why Disney started asking guests to allow MDE to use google maps, it uses precise location.

The 27th, well that stinks but thanks @elaine for the info. I just can't imagine not being able to order from my own hotel room, if what others are saying about this change is you must be super close.

You have to fake the location of the phone, not the IP address. I can test it now if you want. I know we tried to get on the Trader Sam's list from the boat and that wasn't enough. I'll see if GF works for Captain Cooks.

Ok I put the pin on the GF lobby and I was too far for Captain Cooks but I did the wedding pavilion and that was close enough.

It's for science @mel!

I can order while I'm walking over it is just a pain. It is much easier for me to sit and order with the group and then pick it up for the group. Mobile order is semi-new so I remember the old days. One of the things I love about as a Disney guest...

And DVC member is trying all the restaurants included QS. I hope this is not one step closer to say you are only limited to your resort. I get they are trying to close loopholes and arguments at the check in stations. Parking is an issue.

7:13pm on 6/29/26 by nightowl04

@mel, that is so cool! I need to learn how to do this

8:13pm on 6/29/26 by youcanfly

Me too lol

Don't tell the influencers!!

How does one fake their own pin location?

8:05am by WalternateUniverse

Yep we need to know!

Sfl for answer

I mentioned an the FakeGPS app back at the top of the thread, but there are many others. Only works on Android I believe, Apple doesn't allow the location faking. Should work UNLESS they added something to MDE that is also checking to see...

..if you have a current resort stay or something, but I haven't tested it since these new announcements yet.

9:20am by JJT (staff)

I tested it from Massachusetts yesterday and it still works. The app I use is just called Fake GPS. It requires you to edit some developer settings so it's not risk free. PM me on the forum if you want help. It's very handy.

9:25am by melcort10

Of course, now I had to try (#nerd): I am sitting in my office on Long Island, set my phone GPS location to just outside Kona Cafe and was allowed to start a mobile order. Can anyone pick that up for me? ;)

9:32am by JJT (staff)

Depends what you ordered...

10:44am by evamarie320

I just tried to order hazelnut waffle from Sleepy Hollow and got all the way to click side button to ApplePay. Of course I didn't but I am in CT. Location services On

11:02am by Magicalday2011

From home about an hour away, I was just able to start an order at all four parks, DS, All Stars, and Kidani. Capn Cooks was the only rejection for being too far away.

Isn't it just supposed to be the QS at the monorail resorts? That's what I read. I could have ordered from POFQ, Pop, and BC earlier this morning.

11:09am by utang44

@utang I believe so, which is why I tried the GPS trick at Kona. FWIW, I was just able to start an order at Captain Cooks too. No good flight times from NY for me to pick up that burger though.

11:19am by JJT (staff)

Thats what it looks like.

11:19am by moondance07

Any cool FIFA merchandise at magic kingdom?

9:07am by SKLiette

Google tells me that the Pele Soccer store in DS is where the official FIFA gear is sold. And that soccer style but non fifa WDW shirts are being sold elsewhere.

10:47am by evamarie320

I was going to suggest the Pele store in DD also. There's some cool stuff in there.

Go when they first open because there were huge lines to get in when I was at springs last week.
