Edit: effective early December, Ratatouille has been added to the Epcot extended hours in the evenings. This is a total game changer given how challenging it is to get on that ride. Wish we were there for that! Whew, we did the extended hours in Magic Kingdom last night and it honestly felt like a [...]

Booking System Issues and Sudden Availability
This morning (8/9/21) there was a surprising flood of availability for hard-to-get dates at nearly every DVC resort. When poking around just before 7am, instead of seeing the typical 1 or 2 nights available in a studio across any resort for the months of November and December, I saw full availability for weeks like “Jersey [...]
Direct vs Resale DVC Points
If you are new to hearing about Disney Vacation Club memberships, you are probably wondering what it means when people refer to points/contracts as being Direct or Resale. So as a follow up to my post linked below regarding the up front cost of purchasing a Disney Vacation Club Membership in general, it is important [...]
Cost to Invest in DVC (Direct vs Resale)
Almost every day someone asks if DVC is "worth it." While it definitely depends on the person/family and their traveling style/frequency, my response typically is that it is worth it if you buy resale. People can either purchase DVC points directly from Disney, at Disney's prescribed rates, or purchase points on the resale market, where [...]
Latest Pool Hours/Dining Options at Boardwalk
While endless information is available on various Disney websites, some offerings and hours seem to only be available when you actually arrive at the resort. So for anyone who is curious, these were the recreational offerings and hours offered at the Boardwalk this past week (May 10th). These hours are probably indicative of the recreational [...]
Correction: no character breakfast at Cape May Cafe
I apparently lied in my post below about more character dining options returning. The character dining options that ARE returning will be Tusker House and dinner at Chef Mickey’s. https://jilteddisneybride.com/2021/05/06/cape-may-cafe-and-tusker-house-heck-yea/ Cape May Cafe reopened today, but without characters for the time being. No announcement on when the characters will return. It is of course much [...]
Cape May Cafe and Tusker House! Heck yea!
Disney snuck in an announcement today that Tusker House is reopening this summer as another character dining option, and Cape May Cafe is reopening in less than two weeks! What!!? May 18th! Hell yea. These are two favorite character dining options during regular times, so this is big news. I personally am not too obsessed [...]
MagicMobile
In what should be a shock to no one, Disney has announced plans to roll out an offering called Disney’s MagicMobile, which will allow guests to basically perform the functions of a MagicBand with their Mobile Device. This means your AppleWatch could theoretically be replacing your MagicBand later this year (pretty cool). So basically, similar [...]
Could the DVC Borrowing Restrictions be Coming to an End?!
I’ve had my fingers crossed that the 50% borrowing restriction in effect since the covid reopening might end when some of these big expiration dates rolled around, or once all the resorts got reopened. With Aulani finally reopened, we’ve just been waiting on the Grand Californian. Well, today our prayers have been answered and DVC [...]
Kiddo’s Ride Review
We aren’t vloggers, and never will be, since I hate myself on video/recording, but this dang kid has taken to talking about Disney in such a knowledgeable little way, that I’m going to try to take more videos of his insights. He seriously can name every resort and give opinions on the pros and cons [...]
