    Universal's Cinematic Spectacular Debuts!

    Thanks for posting.... Not sure that's going to be the hit they're hoping for. I would watch it if I happened to be in the area, and I could get a good view. I wouldn't stake out a seat an hour in advance for that. The movie clips will be interesting to a movie buff, but most true movie...

    June heat/crowds?

    It'll be hot and crowded, but since you're staying on-site you'll be fine. You'll get FOTL and easy access to head back to your hotel for a swim or A/C break if you get too hot.

    Has anyone here been to Pat O'briens lately?

    Two related questions.... 1) Has anybody gone into the Piano Bar part of Pat O'Briens with under-21 teens? I would love for my teens to be able to experience that. I think they'd really enjoy it....one is a piano player herself, and I think she'd find it inspiring. Based on the website...

    Trading out to the Loews in NYC?

    I don't have a direct answer to your question--we checked into a trade for NYC and it sounded like it was going to be a long shot, so we made alternative plans. Hopefully someone will have good news for you. If you aren't able to do a trade, for a family of 5, we'd definitely recommend the...

    I have 97 BWV points available for $10/point. Home resort is BWV, but these can be used at other resorts. Can be used for reservations until March 31, 2011. I want to rent all of them in a single transaction.....I can rent additional points if needed but don't want to rent less than 97.

    How much leeway does your guide have with first reservations?

    We had been thinking about purchasing for about a year when my DH ended up being asked to attend a work conference. Being faced with a week home alone with 3 young children, I convinced DH that that was the time to buy. We called and told our guide we would buy in if he could get us...

    Borrowing/Banking Question

    Hi...a banking/borrowing question.... Question is, if I borrowed points to make a reservation for this Use Year and then I cancel the reservation, can I bank the points that weren't borrowed? Specifically .... I made a reservation for Hilton Head this Spring that I just canceled. For...

    Anybody used points for Loews Regency New York?

    Hi....has anybody ever used points for the Loews Regency New York? We have points we have to use before April 2011 due to a canceled vacation. I'm trying to decide if I'd be better off renting the points and just paying cash for a room somewhere in NY or if I should use the Concierge...

    Does BWV have Reg or HE Washers?

    QQ....does BWV have regular or HE washers? We'll be staying in a standard view unit (in case rehab status impacts the answer.)

    Souvenir ideas for early teen boys?

    It's not really a souvineer, but a lot of early teen boys appreciate some independence.....assuming they are trustworthy and responsible, maybe an afternoon at DQ by themselves while the parents are wandering around DTD? We did this with DS when he was in his early teens, and he loved it. He...

    Calling all June travelers

    June 7-13 for us at BWV and then off to Sanibel Island for a slower paced 2nd week. Tip: Follow the plans to make sure you get to do whatever is at the top of your priority list but be sure to allow some time to just relax and enjoy the experience. Sometimes one has to just enjoy Disney...

    Wow - My DD17 said she would rather go to WDW w/me instead Senior Class trip!

    This is not the reaction I got from my DS! He's a high school sophomore and just returned from an April WDW trip with his band. They spent 2 days driving in a bus; 3 days at WDW, and then 2 days driving home in the bus. He had the time of his life on that trip. We've been going to Disney...

    Disney Quest

    We've bought DQ tickets in the past from TicketMania, but I just checked and they don't list them anymore. Maybe demand is too low since a Plus visit can now be used for DQ? We make a visit to DQ and have taken even our youngers ones since they were very little. There are some things that...

    Blizard Beach, better than Typhoon Lagoon?

    Kind of depends what you're looking for.... TL definitely has the better wave pool BB has the best family raft ride BB has larger slides TL has a more tropical feel--nicer landscaping BB has a "Jr. Ski Patrol" area specifically for kids too old for the little kids area but not...

    Can someone...

    I believe the rule is that you can only do one points tranfer per use year, but you can execute that one transfer any time. E.G., I traded for Hawaii with other DVC members, and for one trade I transferred 2008 UY points and for another trade I transferred 2009 UY points. I did both transfers...

    TSI Paint Brushs?

    Waterpark EMH?

    Just chiming in to say that the morning waterpark EMHs are great. We did one two years ago (in June) at Blizzard Beach, and we rode all the big slides before most people arrived, and then when the earlier arrivals were getting to the big slides, we walked right onto the medium scale slides. It...
