Taking advantage of DVC Perks - Advanced Movie Screenings


There are many advantages of being a Disney Vacation Club member.  The perks and benefits aren't enough to justify membership, but they are a great "icing on the cake."  This is particularly true now that we have moved to Florida and can be in Orlando without flying.  The most recent example is an opportunity to pre-screen the new Pixar movie "Onward" on Leap Day. 

We received an email on Tuesday, February 26th, that notified us of the opportunity for DVC owners to pre-screen the movie on Leap Day.  My wife registered us, and we were looking forward to it!

The doors were to open at 10:00 am on February 29th.  According to the "fineprint", it was a possibility that there were not enough seats for everyone.  Since we know how eager DVC people can be, we arrived at Disney Springs about 45 minutes early and were able to take a few pictures outside the theater: 

 


Not only did we all get tickets for the movie, we each got a regular sized popcorn and drink.  We also were each given an Onward beanie to take home.  Even though we were one person short that day, with only four of us attending, it was a value of more than $100.  The movie tickets, popcorn, and soda would have cost us $106.88.  I didn't include the cost of the beanies, as I probably wouldn't have purchased one to have.

If you are a DVC member and live close to Orlando, or are planning your vacation there, it would be a good idea to check the members' website and your email for these offers.  We loved this opportunity!

    I really enjoyed this movie! It was a unique look at a common issue with today's families. I for one loved the emphasis on siblings supporting each other in any situation. There is nothing better than watching a movie in a packed theater with fellow Disney Lovers!

Cars Land Cozy Cone Chicken Chile Verde Recipe

With Covid-19 in full effect, there are a ton of people that are having Disney withdrawal!  We moved to Florida almost two years ago just so that we wouldn't experience this feeling.  I love irony as much as anyone, but this is borderline cruel :) While I do miss the rides and attactions, that's not the thing that I am really jonesing for.  I want some good food!!!  When we didn't live so close to Disney and wanted to get our theme park food fix, we would look for recipes.  My wife has pretty much perfected the cheese soup from Le Celier!  So I thought this would be a good time to add a recipe for another of our favorites. I haven't been to Disneyland since 2013.  Even then, I didn't have a park ticket.  I ran through the parks for the Disneyland half marathon (which hasn't been held for a few years now).  But one of my all-time favorite Disney food items (note to self, I should put together a list of my top five faves) was the Chicken Chile Verde Cone from

We have had the pleasure of talking with some new visitors to WDW over the past few weeks.  It is so fun for Tabitha and I to do that.  It takes me back to a day when we would order promo DVD's to be delivered to our house and watch them.....Before you ask, the internet did exist and so did YouTube......But it was definitely a time of transition!  Talking with these people, it took us back to some of the budget tips that we have learned over the years.

Dining Review - Chef Art Smith's Homcomin'

Homecomin' is located in Disney Springs and is one of my favorite restaurants on Disney World property.  I've been there a handful of times and have not had a bad meal.  That's not to say that it's always great.  During peak times, I have had meals that were good but not exceptional.  My most recent trip was during lunch on a weekday.  They were at about half-capacity and the meal was outstanding and the service was amazing!  I was on the dining plan, which included a drink and desert.  I knew what entree that I wanted but asked for input from the bartender for the other courses.  I was very happy! The "Old Fashioned Elder" For my entree I selected the signature dish, "Art's Famous Fried Chicken".  This is every bit as good as the Mid-West Potluck fried chicken that I remember from my youth!  The portions are generous and I had leftovers.  My one criticism is that the mashed potatoes are instant.  That's not a horrible
