We are renting a studio at OKW through a DVC member for $72 a night (what a deal!), from 9-11 January. Do you have any suggestions on which building to request? We don't want traffic noise, but want to be fairly close to the main building. Thanks

There is only one bus stop, right in front of Everything Pop (where you check in and where the food court and gift shop are located). We were there in January last year and the bus service was great. It doesn't stop at any other resorts, and there is only the one stop, in front of the main...

Hi Kerri, We stayed in the 50's, bldg 3, facing the lake, in the section closest to bldg 2, and we had a nice view of the higher Illuminations fireworks from our 3rd floor balcony. It was also very quiet and the view of the lake is very pretty, both during the day and in the evening. It...

Tinkarooni - yes, the food court will be closed for renovation, but Boatwright's (sit-down restaurant) will be open, and I believe they have a poolside bar which will be open where you can get snacks and stuff, although probably not breakfast. Some people have switched their reservations from...

Just received an alert from Travelzoo(dot)com with a special rate at Atlantis Resort in Nassau of only $99 a night! Must book by Nov 27. Good for mid-week travel Sun thru Wed.

Hi BarbP, Welcome... We are first time cruisers so we have a lot to learn, and boy have I learned a lot on these boards. :thumbsup2 We've requested late seating for dining, but prefer 8pm rather than later, so I hope that's what we get. Our travel agent couldn't confirm, but that's what...

Just got the Florida Resident discount applied to our 4-day cruise in mid-January, which saved us $300! :thumbsup2 That'll pay for our shore excursions and still leave enough for a few :drinking1 Woohooo!

Hey, DH Bee - you might just be on to something there. Sounds logical. If you're right - you deserve to be part of the project. What a fun thread this has been. Go Ty and company!!

Hi Jeanne and family! Welcome aboard! This seems to be a friendly group sailing in January, and I've already "met" my soon-to-be next door neighbors on the cruise. Since you're a Castaway Cay member, you can fill us first-timers in on all the inside scoop, hints and tips, etc. Good luck...

Called early this morning to apply the Passholder discount to our room at Pop Century on January 12 & 13th. Was told they have no AP rates available for any of the rooms at any of the Value resorts, and since the quota was full, I couldn't even apply the discount to our current reservation...

Shelly - I was there with you at 2am but couldn't get my response to post so gave up and went back to bed. Glad you got what you wanted. Got Palo for brunch on Wednesday (sea day) at 10:30. Got the parasailing reserved at CC for 10:00 and stingray encounter at CC for 2:00. Should be time...

I would like to bring a bottle of wine or champagne onboard and present it as a gift to someone. Can I do that? Could they take the wine home with them, as long as it hasn't been opened? How would customs know it wasn't purchased in the Bahamas, so they wouldn't have to claim it on their...

I was looking for a hotel room for one night before our Disney cruise in January, and came across the Fawlty Towers Resort web site. The rates looked good, and I think this is a fairly new hotel. Does anyone know anything about this place, or have you stayed here before? Several of the hotels...

Another advantage of going during cool weather is that it's usually less crowded, unless it's a holiday or school break. Mid-January is great for us - and we've made videos first thing in the morning where there are NO other guests in the pictures. :thumbsup2 Bev

One of my favorites is the Electric Water Pageant that comes by the monorail resorts, Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge at night. It has catchy music and a lively and patriotic theme and it's just a magical end to the night for me. I love that little parade. We like to go out to the end of...

PJ - There are two Guest Relations/Information booths at Downtown Disney. One is close to the giant Once Upon a Toy store in the Marketplace, and the other is at the main hub as you enter the West Side. If he can't find them, tell him to ask any cast member, who will head him in the right...

In case I've confused anyone, I'm Tikihula when I send from home and Suflay1 when I send from work. I guess you could say I have a split personality. :rotfl: :crazy: We're going to do parasailing and stingray encounter at Castaway Cay - I think there will be time for both, one in the...

Finally got the password thing straightened out and was able to retrieve my reservation. Added some things to my wish list and checked out the DCL web sites. Mary - thanks for correcting my time to call in for reservations. I see they've extended the passport deadline to 2009, unless you...

Hi Darla, I sent you an email message, looking for 24 points for 9-10-11 Jan '07. Thanks. :) Bev

Better hurry up, Wendy, you're gonna miss your deadline. We're all ready, set and waiting for your next chapter. Go, girl! :Pinkbounc
