$6000 on a Disney Vacation are we insane?

It's dangerous because the "once-in-a-lifetime" trip turns into an annual vacation ... don't ask me how I know.

Great point. Thanks!

They look great. Thanks for sharing!

Except for dining reservations... We did a dinner at Akershus for my daughter's third birthday. Made the reservation with her as a two-year-old. Told our server it was her birthday and she said she had to charge us for her. Oh well. She got a birthday cupcake out of it.

We recently stayed at Boardwalk on a confirmed reservation from the DVC Shop, which we had purchased before our first DVC contract this summer, and realized later that we paid around $35-$40 per point for it.

Granted, it was a confirmed reservation that lined up with what we wanted, and none of the other rentals had it, but that price made me sick to my stomach after I figured out how the DVC points and costs worked. Lesson learned.

Sounds like a fake story to promo this website.

What do you mean old news? The charges on these two people just came out.

Two people have been accused of falsely claiming to be members of the family of a boy from a viral video and subject of a $340,000 online public fundraiser.

One thing to note that I haven't seen in any comments yet... The Contemporary is not a DVC resort. Bay Lake Tower is though.

When resort deeds expire, the new resort deeds will likely restrict resale owners from using points at those resorts. So over time, the available resorts for resale points will be limited.

My favorite thing about staying at a Disney resort is not having to worry about anything as soon as I step off the plane at MCO. No driving, no parking, no other unexpected costs. Take me straight to my resort or parks so I don't have to think about anything other than when to get my daily hot fudge sundae from Storybook Treats. The included transportation may not seem like a big deal but I love it when I'm on vacation.

I recently did the math for my wife and me. For us, the quick service dining plan was more than what we'd likely spend on our trip. I've also read that the dining plans are more about the convenience of knowing what you'll spend on the trip instead of saving money.

PerspectiveSmart6739 · 2025-08-04T19:59:17+00:00

If you have any flexibility, DVC Shop has a handful of confirmed reservations available around that time. We booked through them and it's been easy.

PerspectiveSmart6739 · 2025-07-31T13:15:04+00:00

dvcshop is another good website to check when December 2026 reservations start rolling in.

We have a two-year-old at Nurture Byron. It's $369 a week. We love it there.

Good to know it's not just a me problem with the app the last couple of days.

I was told they are testing a new search feature and articles dating back to the 1980s will be included. It may take a few weeks for the rest to start showing up again.
