Hi All Who has 2024 trips planned?? Mine are: Aulani for a week in May with wife WDW for 2 weeks in Nov with wife and 15 y/o daughter (her 3rd trip now) Still waiting for 7 month mark to switch our DVC reservations! We own at BLT and AKV byt we loved SSR Preferred so much last year we are extending our stay there this year. I wanted to go in Dec again to avoid Thanksgiving crowds but could resist the flight deal we got for the excellent new AA route from BNE-DFW-MCO. Almost half the... Read more ..read more

HI Everyone We are headed over for our first trip since 2019. I've always booked our cars in advance through Rentalcars.com and always had a good experience. Has anyone booked through them lately? They are offering a great price with Europcar. Thanks ..read more

I know that we have all just started to travel again and things have changed. Does anyone know of any reasonable car rental sites? Maybe it’s just me but it seems so much harder and more jargon to read through than it used to be before lockdowns. We will be traveling from beginning of nov to beginning of dec. We are planning on hiring a 7 seater mini van and will need a baby seat and a child seat. Everything associated with booking this trip is just so much more of a drama than it used to be...

Hi everyone! I can see a few people here have some upcoming trips so just wanted to open up a thread for anyone to share any Disney trips planned for this year/next/or heck even beyond, please feel free to share!

I am in Australia and am planning to book a once in a life time trip to WDW and Universal for end of Nov/Dec 2023. I've thought about this for years and regularly do research on the Disney website etc about rates and packages. My question is: are specialist Disney Travel Agents (particularly the US ones - idk if they accept Australian customers?) worth it? Can better rates be found through them? I am thinking I will need to book soon, but have noticed in previous years that packages and... Read more ..read more

I’m bringing Australian friends to Disney next October. Is their an Australian based ticket reseller they can use for tickets? Or perhaps ticket deals for Australians ..read more

After a lot of going back and forth, fluffing around with Qantas trying to book flights using points. I finally worked out that for what I wanted to do, it would only cost me $600 extra to book pretty much everything with Hawaiian Airlines, and keep my points for something else. So here's my itinerary for now; October 4th - Sydney to Maui (with a 2 hour, 40 minute stop over in Honolulu) Hawaiian Airlines 4th - 11th - Hopefully staying in a friend's holiday unit at Eldorado Maui...

We have recently returned from the first Australian Disney cruise from Sydney to Hobart and I was wondering what others opinions were of them especially if you have cruised with Disney before. I was expecting to be wowed but although I enjoyed it I wasn’t. Trying to decide why that was. The thing I can mostly go back to was how rough it was and how that made some of the family so sick that they had to have an injection. The baby and 4 year old got really sick. Personally even with medication... Read more ..read more
