I am a little laundry obsessed. Is the CSC go app down for other people? Just me? Trip soon and when I checked app working it showed all laundry rooms as offline for me? Have they upgraded to the new CSC system? Thanks

Bump for laundry app knowledge.

5:56pm on 8/19/26 by evamarie320

I gotta say I work HARD to stay out of the laundry at WDW. It might be my 2nd biggest reason for buying DVC.

6:12pm on 8/19/26 by Ali Ababwa

It's definitely a big part of why I stay 1 bedrooms or larger @Ali. And why I won't do the cabins. But I do laundry every trip even if I have to go to the laundromat. I just take a book down there and enjoy the quiet.

6:26pm on 8/19/26 by popupcamper

So looks like CSC are switching over to a new system and app called One Tap Away. I've installed it and transferred my balance OK but not onsite yet to test it but have read elsewhere that it works fine tho you can't see washer availability until nearby

4:25am on 8/20/26 by Netsav

And this is very good news for us Brits as the new app accepts UK credit cards again :-)

4:31am on 8/20/26 by Netsav

I don't understand the point of paying good money to do laundry while on vacation - just wash your underwear in the coffee pot like the rest of us.

6:54am on 8/20/26 by Fatty McButterpants

Everyone loves the underwear coffeepot story

7:26am on 8/20/26 by BlastThatPeterPan

After reading the coffee pot story way back when, I haven't looked at hotel coffee pots the same and just can't bring myself to use them! Eek!

8:44am on 8/20/26 by missWishes

Y'all get yourself a park averse man that will willingly do the laundry to avoid having to do rides and shows. ;)

9:12am on 8/20/26 by Totsypooh

You're livin the dream @totsy!

1:25pm on 8/20/26 by evamarie320

I will never use an in room coffee pot.

3:38pm on 8/20/26 by NaviHeart

Hahaha! :)

3:44pm on 8/20/26 by Totsypooh

No more coffee pot laundry for me. Wearing your entire wardrobe while you shower is where it's at.

Why do you think they changed to single serve coffee pods?

3:57pm on 8/20/26 by Elaine5715

Our room has the combot pot and keurig! I guess we should be thankful people arent cooking hotdogs in them...

4:05pm on 8/20/26 by Totsypooh

Yeah but where's the fun now? Tho maybe @trishr has the right idea

Is it still really and truly ok to buy conference tickets for a conference you're not attending. Looks like it would save $130 pp off the discounted tickets for our dates.... Also since yesterday, I think we've added my sister (:

Yes it is still really and truly okay

7:02am on 8/18/26 by JoeyPotter98

Indubitably

7:07am on 8/18/26 by Fatty McButterpants

I much prefer buying conference tix to conferences I don't attend... than attending conferences that I don't have tix for. ;) We will be purchasing our conference tix soon for our early Sept trip!

7:41am on 8/18/26 by DestinyCalled

And. Even more fun if y'all pretend the entire trip to actually be what your conference was for.

7:47am on 8/18/26 by popupcamper

Ironically we just purchased conference tickets last night for a conference my DH is actually attending next month lol

9:49am on 8/18/26 by AreWeThereYeti

@popup I opted not to do that after I bought tickets from the "Narcotics Anonymous" conference. :)

9:57am on 8/18/26 by JJT (staff)

lol @JJT!! We've been physical therapists, dentists and internists.

10:38am on 8/18/26 by popupcamper

I've only purchased conference tickets for the past 5 years or so. Never been asked by a cast member about tickets because once they are added to MDE, they scan like any other ticket. I still, however, always memorize the conference name just in case!

12:23pm on 8/18/26 by allanmayo

Wise plan, Dr. AllanMayo.

Please tell us more @Jennifer

1:16pm on 8/18/26 by Ali Ababwa

It's a good thing they never ask cause I am sure I would never remember. Who knows what would come out of my mouth. Optoentopediatrologist or something equally insane.

8:37pm on 8/18/26 by rickelwoman

Apologies if this has already been addressed 1,000 times already, but ... can someone provide cliff notes on 'Conference Tickets'. We're AP but will be bringing some friends in Dec. and they'll need tickets for 3 days.

8:51pm on 8/18/26 by PaulAndCarrie

We just used them 2 weeks ago. Found a conference within my travel period by searching "mydisneygroup August" find a conference that aligns with dates and click their link to buy tickets

9:07pm on 8/18/26 by Gusgus5

Then once you select your tickets the option for will call or mail is there but you will also get an email with the confirmation code to load into MDE

9:08pm on 8/18/26 by Gusgus5

Sometimes certain web browsers can be tricky when pushing thru to the final purchase

9:09pm on 8/18/26 by Gusgus5

So they are basically just ... park tickets?

9:50pm on 8/18/26 by PaulAndCarrie

@PaulandCarrie Yep, just discounted park tix that are tied to a convention. I have a cliffs notes in the 2nd post in my forum thread:

10:24pm on 8/18/26 by JJT (staff)

https://forum.touringplans.com/t/convention-tickets-tip-now-also-discussing-uk-attraction-tickets/46005/2

10:24pm on 8/18/26 by JJT (staff)

Yes, at a discounted rate for the conference. As long as you can find a conference within the time frame of your trip, you can purchase through a link offered through the conference site. I usually check MER conferences at WDW for whichever month I go.

10:35pm on 8/18/26 by allanmayo

Ah, thanks @JJT. Knew you'd come through with a forum link! :-) (our forum searches are frequently unsuccessful).

10:35pm on 8/18/26 by PaulAndCarrie

I'll be a cardiologist for my September trip.

10:36pm on 8/18/26 by allanmayo

A nice perk also is the free water park day if you purchase a 2 day ticket or more.

11:01pm on 8/18/26 by allanmayo

Oh, Allen, me too! We must be at the same conference. See you there!

7:16am on 8/19/26 by RememberWhen

Dr Mayo, Dr When, Dr & Mrs Called will be attending said conference in Sept as well. It will be nice to check up on the latest trends in... (checks notes) cardiology & pulmonology... I could use some brushing up of my skills.

7:28am on 8/19/26 by DestinyCalled

The only thing about the waterpark tickets is we're going in mid November, not sure that's waterpark weather....

7:29am on 8/19/26 by krb2g

I'm from New Hampshire so any day in Orlando is water park weather! However, I think it did hit the low 40s several times last year in Orlando.

9:23am on 8/19/26 by allanmayo

The three of us on my trip will be Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard.

11:21am on 8/19/26 by popupcamper

I'm logged into Forum. When I search that link says not found. Do I need to be "in" a La Cava page before searching?

11:41am on 8/19/26 by Magicalday2011

Do these conferences offer conference rates at the resorts as well?

11:44am on 8/19/26 by GoldenDreams

Wow! It looks like it. Has anyone ever booked at conf rate? I wonder what happens if you're not registered for the conf. Doesn't look like a reg code is needed to confirm Resv.

11:57am on 8/19/26 by GoldenDreams

In general La Cava section requires a minimum amount of use before one gets access, so if never used forum before then might not have access yet, but I doubt that is the case for you MagicalDay - did you just try my link?

12:02pm on 8/19/26 by JJT (staff)

@GoldenDreams I outline that question in notes post (see link above in thread): but quick answer: While they do not check convention attendance for tickets, for hotel booking rates IMHO it is much too risky to try. The convention managers may/do check...

12:04pm on 8/19/26 by JJT (staff)

..If their room block happens to be undersold they might let your booking slide, but if the block is full they will likely boot non-con attendees. Then you could be stuck having to book a hotel at last minute at not great prices.

12:05pm on 8/19/26 by JJT (staff)

Ty, I just saw that part and read thru it. They sure have great rates!

12:24pm on 8/19/26 by GoldenDreams

This is great info! SFL! Thanks!

11:38am on 8/20/26 by lala44

@Magical, it takes being on the forum for about 30 seconds before you can see la cava. Try it again.

12:12pm on 8/20/26 by popupcamper

Wait, you've used forum before so that's not the problem. Try the link again, it works for me but I'm always logged into the forum.

12:13pm on 8/20/26 by popupcamper

I almost always have to log in again once I use a link to the forum. Sometimes I get into a weird loop where it keeps making me log in but doesn't recognize me as logged in. Frustrating. But I agree: just keep trying.

Question on AP. I live out of state but I'm thinking of AP. I plan on going in Oct for a week, Dec for 4 days and then 4 -4 day trips next year. After my October trip would it be best to book bounce back rooms for all trips and AP covers tickets correct?

9:25pm on 8/18/26 by mickeyforlife

collapse thread

I've never done a bounce back but I'd probably book all of them AP first then if there's a bounce back available for your dates you can change. There's limited availability of both deals so I wouldn't wait.

9:42pm on 8/18/26 by popupcamper

Yes book the bouncebacks for the widest date range you might need then watch for deals. Can always shorten when dates firm up

11:52pm on 8/18/26 by Totsypooh

Ive not seen AP rates that beat bounceback deals yet bu usually within $10/20

11:53pm on 8/18/26 by Totsypooh

IME bounce back offers are almost always better than AP rates depending on the time of year. Good news. You can book and modify to another rate, so feel free to book the AP rate then call and see what you BB rate would be for the same or similar res

7:26am on 8/19/26 by BlastThatPeterPan

Yeah my worry is them waiting until Oct to try to get a bounce back rate for Dec. so book the AP first to be sure you have a deal, and a room, then change it to bounce back in Oct if you can.

7:48am on 8/19/26 by popupcamper

Agreed @popup

8:35am on 8/19/26 by BlastThatPeterPan

So popupcamper I haven't purchased my AP yet. I Thought since the Oct trip was already paid for I had to wait till I got there in Oct to purchase AP

8:39am on 8/19/26 by mickeyforlife

Oh @mickey, my apologies. I didn't put together that we had already talked about this. Correct, because of the deal you have my advice is different. I think I already checked your dates too and there wasnt many AP rooms left. I'd just book a room now...

8:43am on 8/19/26 by popupcamper

...with whatever discount you can then and see if there's something available for a better discount in Oct once you can do bounce back and AP.

8:44am on 8/19/26 by popupcamper

Yes the room allocations for bouncebacks and AP reservations have become vanishingly small, unfortunately.

8:54am on 8/19/26 by Ali Ababwa

Ok thanks. I went ahead and booked room only for Dec. thanks for the advice.

10:37am on 8/19/26 by mickeyforlife

I an out of state AP holder and I agree with above: book bounce back first because they are available furthest in the future and offer the deepest discount (though usually on par with AP). You can book an AP discounted room if it becomes available later..

10:55am on 8/19/26 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

..and cancel the BB. I have been unable to modify BB offers on the website, so that is why I recommend book new/ then cancel. But keep checking (even daily) to see if something more attractive opens up. The inventory is small, but things may open up!

10:58am on 8/19/26 by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Thanks guys. I've booked Dec of this year and March of next year rooms only. I appreciate your help

11:06am on 8/19/26 by mickeyforlife

My goal next year is to go every two months for a few days each trip if I can swing it. Would love to experience this at least one year. I've always just went once a year. But hoping AP will help me go more.

12:41pm on 8/19/26 by mickeyforlife

Hey @mickey- I did this! 2024 was my AP year; I went seven times total, for everything from 4 days to two weeks. It's a great experience if you have the bandwidth. And it's saved me a ton of money in the long run bec I did a ton and don't feel the...

EPCOT FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS LIKELY 1/15/27-2/22/27 (LAST YEAR WAS 1/16/26-2/23/26). Sorry - not shouting - I pasted this projection into my calendar. Re-pasting it here.

For December, this is a very good Beach Club price. We usually see 6 to 9 7-night listings each year, this is the 11th this year! All except one were price much higher.

BTW: I should probably warn that the sites sometimes post a good deal out at 11 months and then in the next day or two INCREASE the price. Why? Third base. Anyway, I think those June BW listings might be good candidates for those shenanigans.

Some of the sites don't update listings in real time, so the listings linger for awhile. I have heard from at least one person who requested it and I have to imagine there's a queue behind them too. :D

By my calculations, if they continue to release BW listings at this rate every 2 hours, by tomorrow morning we will have a 28-night stay for $1.02/night. ;)

For April, this is a very nice price for any length Grand Flo stay - it is exceptional for a 6-nighter. It is rare to see more than one that long at this price point or lower each year:

Just not many BC studios at or below this price in December for any length of stay. For a 6-nighter there is a very good chance if we see even 1 or 2 of those, they will be well over $500.

Sadly the $192 OKW rental succumbed to the DVCShop DVC Rental Virus that causes them to increase 1 day after being listed. This morning it jumped up to $240/night, which is still a very respectable 10% under median, but: Boo.
