Disney Needs to Keep Magic Kingdom Extended Evening Hours for Holiday Season
Disney removes extended evening hours for deluxe resort guests at magic kingdom through the holiday season.
Announcements from D23 Expo 2023
Lots of big announcements coming out of the D23 Expo at the Contemporary in Walt Disney World today. I love these announcement days. Fun fact: during my c-section back in 2017 I asked my boyfriend-turned baby daddy-turned fiance-turned ex-turned boyfriend again (BFBDFEB, if you will) to quiz me on all the D23 announcements that came [...]
New “Cart” Timer for DVC bookings?
Am I crazy or is this a new feature on the DVC website. Maybe a product of the recent downtime when they were performing maintenance. I clicked on a room that I was considering booking, then changed my mind, closed the safari app on my phone, and went about my business. A little later I [...]
Current Ease of Dining Reservations
Apparently gone are the days of frantically stressing about being online at 5:45am 60 days prior to the start of your trip, strategizing about booking the dining for the last days of your trip first. This morning I casually slept in until 6:30 (real casual), figuring I might be screwed for our September trip since [...]
Wild Availability Changes for DVC Rooms in July

There has been a sudden influx of available DVC studios for the remainder of the month of July, unlike [...]

This is an FYI to a very specific niche of DVC members who like to receive transfers of points every year (you can receive one transfer per membership per use year). Currently, and for at least the past year, if you receive a transfer of resale points, you can’t use them on the website to [...]
Extended Park Hours for Guests of Deluxe Resorts = Amazing
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 [...]
Why Genie+ and Lightning Lane Disappointed this Disney Mom
Man, I was the biggest advocate for this darn service as soon as I wrapped my head around the BS of adding $45+ per day for our 3 person party (which is really honestly an absolute knife to the heart given that we manage to afford our trips because we have annual passes with DVC [...]
Best Wait Times in Hollywood Studios
Update: by the end of our trip we rode Slinky Dog 4 times, never waiting more than 15 minutes, MMRR twice (20 minutes once, walk on another), ROTR twice (both under 5 minutes), and TSM 4 times as well (typically walking on, although we had one long wait when we tried during the early entry [...]
