    Is there a "catch" to free dining????

    Thanks for the correction folks....I just found out that tax was included also.....It's not a bad deal depending on what your plans are....we just actually upgraded, because it made sense with the restaurants that we picked....now we have 3 points/day each. It is disappointing that tips are not...

    Is there a "catch" to free dining????

    Gratuity, as mentioned, is not included, however, keep in mind that adults do not get appetizers (only children from 3-9 years old), and I believe tax is also not included (I don't even know if they charge tax, LOL). Alcoholic drinks are also not included. You can download menus and figure out...

    Menus during free dining?

    This has not been my experience, and I have paid cash as well as had DDP. I did print out the menu's from the restaurants we are going to (in order to see if we should upgrade our dining plan to the next level), so, after reading this thread, I will likely bring the print outs with me and see if...

    Dining Plan Sucks!

    Hi Fire, I do agree with your post (but I think it sucks for other reasons, and there is no need to go OT now:lmao:)....I will give you some advice that I hope will be helpful. First, if you are staying on-site, speak to the concierge at your hotel and see if they can look for cancellations for...

    Is Hoop Dee Doo worth it if you have very young kids?

    we took our kids when they were 2.5 and 3.5 and they were okay with it. I think they would have enjoyed it more now, and still more in a couple of years. I probably would have taken them somewhere else, if I had to do it over again. This year we will try the bbq. We did the Spirit of Aloha...

    Would I be ok on test track?

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Sorry about my last post, (I hate abbreviations!). I thought TT meant tower of terror for some reason......my last post was in regards to ToT (Tower of Terror). :blush: (going back to edit post)

    Would I be ok on test track?

    MomBoyd, How old is he? I thought ToT was kind of lame. I mean, it's nice enough, but it just wasn't as thrilling as I expected. The drop is just that, a drop. The difference between ToT and a, "Double Shot," kind of ride, that sends you up quickly and then back down is the accelaration. That...

    Would I be ok on test track?

    I took my 4 and 5 year old on it and they enjoyed it. It really is like being in a car. The oval "high speed," test puts you at about 60 mph for a few seconds. The only thing that might bother you is the bank. For all those with a fear, if you do make it on a "thrill" ride, be it a coaster...

    Poly January 2008

    Jennifer, You are quite right. I guess it depends on what you are used to. I must say, for me (and everyone's tastes, etc, are different), but I found the YC to be the best all around. The only real drawbacks are, it is less kid friendly and no monorail. But, a quick walk or boat ride across...

    Poly January 2008

    I would imagine that they would finish the room BEFORE going on lunch...well, you are right, perhaps at the Poly they would likely leave with the door wide open, so for that "resort" it might actually be a good idea. As a matter of fact, you can find quite a few complaints about the house...

    Poly January 2008

    Jennifer, Not until I stepped on the needle. I did complain about the soap and pillow, and that was taken care of, but when I go on vacation, it takes a lot to set me off, mostly because I don't want to waste time dealing with things that should have been taken care of, especially when they...

    Poly January 2008

    I wish you the best of luck!....We just got back and, perhaps it depends on what you are used to, but I thought the room was horrible. It is not as light as the picture posted, at least, not any of the rooms I saw. The house keeping services are close to non-existant, and that is with leaving...

    Comparision BW/YC/BC

    We have stayed to both the Yacht club and the Boardwalk, and I think we enjoyed the Yacht club more. One reason could be that when we stayed at the BW, our room was sooooooo far away that it took about 5 minutes to get to at a brisk walk. Also, it was a bit closer to Epcot, and it just felt...

    any ideas on how to deal w/claim?

    True indeed Bavaria, and very good advice. I wish it helped.:rotfl2: I always try to avoid creating a tempting situation, but sometimes that is not enough. Having lived in Manhattan for a while, I had friends who would say, "You don't really own anything, you are just keeping it for the guy who...

    charge for extra adult? I have a Q

    Oh no! I didn't know that. I did argue a lot, and finally just kind of put it in his hand. Had I known it might have caused him to get fired I never would have done it. I just thought he was being polite. As for the meal plan, I thought that I could get a couple of extra credits.....out of...

    charge for extra adult? I have a Q

    When we stayed at the Yacht Club, my father and his wife came for two days. I went down stairs and asked for two more parkhopper passes, and two more room keys. So far, no problem and no questions. When I asked if I could buy more credits for the meal plan for both of them, he said that it might...

    any ideas on how to deal w/claim?

    :scared1: :scared1: :eek: :eek: :scared1: :scared1: :eek: :eek: OMG, well, there goes my good feeling about staying at the poly in two weeks. Thanks so much for the heads up. Looks like I have to keep an eye on everything now. I didn't do that before, but now I am fully paranoid.

    We had a BEAUTIFUL "garden view" at the Poly!

    You folks have really psyched me up. We are staying at the Poly starting 12/9, and I have had my reservations. I have put my requests in, and can only cross my fingers.....I can't wait! (And to top it off, JetBlue dropped their fare, so we got about $100 back from them). Thanks for posting the...

    Poly advice needed please

    Thanks again for so many great and helpul replies. Now, I am back in "I CAN'T WAIT," mode. I am really looking forward to the trip. Unfortunately, it is probably how the early stages of a sick and terrible disease known only as IDLS (Irreversible Disney Longing Syndrome), to which the only known...
