On your way to Disney World, you can use the DME luggage tags for any airline. Your bags will be transferred to your resort automatically. The participating airline list only applies to your trip home. If you're flying domestically on a participating airline, you can check your luggage at...

That's great! Thanks. We stayed at Wilderness Lodge last year before purchasing our DVC membership, and remembered you had to pay there. We wondered if perhaps they were free at a DVC resort, but didn't know how they'd make sure others weren't using them. The room key makes perfect sense...

We're going to be in a studio at SSR. Can someone tell me how much the washers and dryers cost in the laundry rooms? I need to plan how many quarters, in addition to those that will be used in the penny press machines, to get at the bank. Thanks.

You'll get a letter one way or another. I remember it took longer than I expected too, so don't read anything into the fact that you haven't heard yet. Give them 4-6 weeks. If you haven't heard by then, call them and ask for the status of your request.

Take your most recent confirmation letter with you, which should be all you need to check in. As previously posted, your park tickets and dining plan will be on your room keys. If you made ADRs for a show like Hoop Dee Doo or Spirit of Aloha, you'll get a voicemail message on your room phone...

I booked our flight on the Disney Web site when we went last year. If you have seat assignments listed on the paperwork you've received from the WDTC, you should be set to go. If you don't see seat assignments listed, I'd call. On a side note, it was nice to book everything in one place...

Neat pictures. I notice they're sort of old, though, because the sky ride and 20,000 Leagues are still in them.

DVC members get discounts at specific restaurants (and in most cases, only specific times of day). Looking through the list and relying on my memory of which restaurants do and do not have character meals, there don't appear to be any. There is a DVC discount at Cape May Cafe, but that's...

For DVC resorts on points, you can purchase the dining plan as a stand-alone item. This is different from the dining plan offered at other resorts, which must be purchased as part of a package that includes room, park tickets, and dining plan. So, for DVC members staying in a DVC resort on...

You also can't transfer banked or borrowed points.

Has anyone heard an inkling of what percentage of SSR has already been sold? We've only been in DVC for a year, but already know we're going to be adding on. The question is whether to buy additional SSR, or hold out and get a sense of whether or not the Contemporary Resort rumors could pan...

There's one on the DVC Member site, but it's difficult to see because it's so small. It shows carrousel and the as-yet-unnamed section on it with dotted lines around them. (I guess indicating construction.) Any of the other maps I've found, including the one here on DIS, only show Springs...

I wonder how this works with the dining plan. Dining plan credits typically expire at midnight on the check-out day. If you have 7 linked one-night reservations instead of a single 7-day reservation, it might force you to eat exactly one TS, one CS, and one snack each day. I know that would...

The age applies to the age on the date of the first use of a ticket. After that, the ticket is tied to that particular person regarless of their age. If you buy a child's 2 day ticket with the no expire option and the child uses the first day when they are 9. They can come back and use the...

You can't get the dining plan if you're using DVC points to stay at a non-DVC resort. However, since you're talking about a value resort (at which you can't use DVC points), you'll need to either make a room-only reservation (which can't include dining) or buy a Magic Your Way package (to which...

The program is called Play, Stay, & Dine. This is the second year they've offered it. Unfortunately, you've missed the booking window for it. As previously stated, it was only for Magic Your Way packages, and wasn't applicable to stays on DVC points.

The only show that costs extra is the Luau. But that's because it comes with a meal.

Click the DIS Home link at the top of the page. Then, under Theme Park Information, you'll see the link for Parades and Fireworks.

We had the pleasure of dealing with Bernard. He was great!
