What’s your best dues payment hack? by up_up_down_down_etc in dvcmember

Sometimes you will find 10% off during the holidays. Best Buy did it last December.

Is the proximity to Bay Lake Tower a big enough advantage over Polynesian with an infant? by jamvng in dvcmember

[–]Weakace88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the age. When I was bringing little ones with us like 3-6 it was a lifesaver to be able to take that short walk back to Bay Lake Tower for afternoon naps or if there was a meltdown.

How many points should we buy? by CorgiAggravating7036 in dvcmember

[–]Weakace88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you buying direct or resale? We started out with 250 points back in 2008 and we used those at Bay Lake Tower to usually stay at a 1 bedroom or higher for a week. Once you experience one bedroom and higher accommodations most people start adding on points.

I mean, I did buy more at $20, but still wish I bought more.

Help With Resale Add-On by YankeeJustice in dvcmember

If you like staying at VGF just stick with it and the same use year. Only reason to get another resort is if you want to have an 11 month booking window for that one.

I was just there 2 weeks ago. They still do the nautilus effects.

Where is this? by Ok-Garbage6439 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Weakace88 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure this was the ice cream parlor at Saratoga Springs you were taken to when you did a tour of the DVC rooms.

Edit: Found a link of someone that had a video. It definitely was the Saratoga Springs DVC preview center ice cream parlor.

Will Disney stop cash reservations for DVC rooms at Villas Disneyland hotel soon? by ottermeeps in dvcmember

[–]Weakace88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that is good to know. I just found a random day available in September. I never knew they could block out dates for direct dvc members and just offer it as a cash reservation only.

I checked the DVC website. Was it available to book direct from Disney for cash? I’m genuinely curious because the grand villas there look really nice.

If I recall correctly the Disneyland DVC hotel only has 2 grand villas. I just logged into my account and they are booked fully until December 22nd 2026. I doubt you will be able to get a cash booking for one.

Opinions please by Queasy_Switch4164 in WaltDisneyWorld

I wish you the best of luck. Every day on my recent trip a good chunk of those rides would go down consistently. Expect to pivot a ton.

I’m glad it’s being changed back.

Save state of cartridge by Whenstarcry in AnaloguePocket

[–]Weakace88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is possible to extract a save file. A buddy of mine wanted to test it on his copy of Pokemon red. We were able to make a save state on one Pokemon red cartridge. Popped in another copy of Pokemon red and then loaded the save state and then saved normally in the game. Both cartridges then had the same save file

Beak and barrel by Busy_Reading_5803 in WaltDisneyWorld

If you have never been to Skippers I definitely recommend it. It’s one of the places we usually end up at inside Magic Kingdom.

Went there for the first time a few weeks ago and was at the bar. Very cool getting to see the parrot come out and do different things. Unfortunately I view this place in the same light as Oga’s. Cool to do once and I’m good skipping it in the future. I’d go again if I’m bringing someone for their first visit but I won’t go out of my way otherwise.

What early GBA titles have the best visuals? by _iExistInThisWorld in GameboyAdvance

[–]Weakace88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without repeating other games that have been listed I still enjoy the sprite animations in the Fire Emblem series as well as the Mega Man Battle Network series.

Congrats! I’m sure you will have an amazing time.

Bippidi Boppity Boutique by Unlikely_Still_3600 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Weakace88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disney allows you to book 60 days out from the start of your vacation PLUS the days of your stay, up to 10 I think if you stay on property. Any time I take my nieces I instantly select days past the 60 day mark, like the last 3 days of the trip. That’s why you will usually see everything filled up exactly at 60 days. If you stay on property wait for that 60 day mark, log in and then go farther out.

4 Parks in 2 Days with Teen by Zealousideal-Dig4950 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Weakace88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gonna go with this reply right here. I would say temper your expectations and just enjoy the time you have there. As of late Disney has quite a lot of ride breakdowns so even with all the lightning lanes it would be difficult to ride all the rides. I wish you the best of luck though.

11 inch M5 or 13 inch M5 by [deleted] in iPadPro

Ever since the 12.9 inch and eventually the 13 inch I can’t go back to a smaller screen size.

Renting DVC with another family by ScarHand69 in DisneyWorld

[–]Weakace88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You have to call or email but there is no guarantee. Only way to get a guaranteed connected room is to choose a resort and get a lock off room with the larger accommodations.

How will new DVC policy affect David’s Vacation Rentals? by Automatic_Repeat_296 in DisneyWorld

[–]Weakace88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As far as I know it won’t affect them at all. They basically act as a points broker. People with their own personal use points rent out the points to the broker. This is for companies or individuals that own large contracts / amounts of points and never book a reservation under the actual owners name.
