Walt Disney World

Disney has confirmed rumors of resort package delivery charges that we reported several weeks ago.

Disney Charging for Resort Packages??

With airlines charging up to $100 round trip for a single suitcase, many Walt Disney World guests have begun mailing items to their resort ahead of time.  Shipping a box of items via UPS or FedEx can be a more economical alternative to the airline fees.  But it seems that Disney may soon absorb a bit of that savings.

Website WDWInfo.com speculates that Walt Disney World may be in the midst of a Norwalk Virus outbreak following multiple reports on its message boards from recent guests.

Vacation planning program MouseManager recently passed the 700 user threshold and is quickly approaching 800 registered users.  Additionally program author Ian plans to begin work on version 2.0 of MouseManager soon.

MouseManager is a free vacation planning tool which allows users to store all of their trip information, trade Disney Vacation Club point usage and much more.  For additional details or to download visit www.MouseManager.com.

I wanted to give a quick shout-out to website Tagrel.com which is celebrating its fifth anniversary today. 

Tagrel is a relatively small Disney community with a large DVC representation.  The site itself features a number of nice DVC tools such as a point calculator, resort tours and so on.  There is also an active discussion forum frequented by familiar names in the Disney community.  If you haven't checked-out Tagrel.com before, you owe it to yourself to do so.

Happy 5th, Tagrel!
