Disney Dream Girls 092 - Drinking, dining and DVC

Welcome to the show notes for the Disney Dream Girls Podcast, episode 092 where we answer some talk about Michelle's upcoming August trip and how she has used DVC to save some money, then we answer some listeners questions and finally (after all that talking) we have a much deserved few hours in five of the wonderful resort lounges at Walt Disney World. 

 

How do you book your stay? 
We get asked this all the time... how can we get the best deal for our upcoming trip. Especially coming from the UK the answers typically is - book many many months ahead. The flight costs are always on the  increase and nearer to departure they usually rocket. So whether you like the reassurance of a package deal or book flight and hotel separately, sometimes looking at a different option could open new doors to you. This year, Michelle has opted to rent some DVC points for her August trip to WDW. There are lots of reputable places to do so on the internet. But buyer be aware. For every reputable place, there will be those that arent. So take care and the bargain from a message board may turn into a nightmare. If you have used this method before, we would love to hear from you. Anyway, the details are all on the show.

We then are challenged to answer some questions from listeners ranging from favourite smells on property, to dining locations to suggesting romance in the parks. Well Valentines is only a few days away!

In our final segment of the show, we look at five of the many resort lounges and explore some of the food and drink offerings. We have to say... Michelle and Jayne did get very carried away thinking about the doughnuts in the final lounge! Have you a favourite we have missed? Let us know!
