Greetings!! New on the site...

Hi everyone! I'm Kristen, otherwise known as DVC Mom. My husband and I started traveling to DIsney without the kids about two years ago and I think it's the best thing we've ever done. I love going with my kids, but as the biggest DIsney fan in the house it's a whole new world to explore as an adult.

My husband (Geordon) and I are headed down next for opening weekend of Food & Wine Festival! It's my favorite "grown up" Disney trip!

Thanks so much for the welcome!

@JoAnn - We'll be staying in a studio at Kidani Village. It's our home resort, but I'm addicted to Club Level at AKL Jambo House, so this will be our first time at Kidani!

@JustCar - I'm a huge fan of Rosa Regale Wine in Italy, but I'm most looking forward to the new Hawaii Booth with the Kalua Pork Sliders. I'm really hoping that there will be an Imu built next to the booth that they're roasting the pork in, but not getting my hopes up too much on that one.

The Kalua Pork Sliders are on my list to try when I go in November.

Welcome Kristen!
We use to take our boys to Disney when they were young but I did not fall in love with Disney till we started going without them. It is a whole new world when traveling without kids.

Hi and welcome!

Like my wife said... our home is Jambo. We LOVE it there! Is your home Kidani? Or is it Jambo? Kinda got confused when you said Kidani was your home but you liked the floor of Jambo. Im assuming Kidani, but thought id ask... lol

Our home is Kidani, but we haven't stayed there yet. My past two DVC trips I've been able to snag the club level rooms at Jambo House. I have been *so* spoiled by that. I've considered buying more points just so I could stya longer on the club level! I'm headed down next month, which will be our first time staying at Kidani.

LoL... I'm the worst person in the world for trying to get "the best value" out of my points. But we only have 185, I tend to do shorter more luxury trips, rather than longer budget ones.
