    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    I see the first post isn't being updated anymore. Can anyone point me to updated info on how to book an AP rate? All of my old links are broken because it has been so dang long since I went to Universal and I don't know how far back in this thread to go to get any updated processes and...

    Free Water Park for 2025 Stays

    I think it's cool, and depending on weather it might get me to go. Oh, and I fly from Seattle, so this would require me to find overnight flights. I'm already finding things to do during the day anyway; why not a waterpark?

    Princess Weekend 2024!

    My Floridian cousin loved the blanket after the 10K. She and I volunteered for the Half (handing out medals on the runner's left in the chute) and the towel volunteers said that someone anticipated it warming up that day. The towels were wet. The volunteers spent 2 hours painstakingly...

    Princess Weekend 2024!

    Alas, not that young. I checked for the 5K and this is what it shows. But cheering for everyone is about the same level of fulfillment to the supporter and about the same level of appreciation to the runner/walker as normal volunteering. Not sure if taht sentence made sense grammatically, but...

    TSA ID Question

    REAL ID requirements are approaching the 20 year anniversary of it being passed without actual requirements. Currently you do not, actually, need ID for domestic flights. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification So yes, her ID will be fine.

    Extra day for early check in?

    I've done it for arrivals at around 2am. I do online checkin and say that I'll be getting in after midnight. It's all fine. We can't actually call the front desk anyway, so I don't bother calling. Though if I were getting in two days later of course I'd call.

    Are you done borrowing yet?

    I've owned since 2009 and have borrowed or banked or a combo ever since. I bought 160 points and haven't purchased more.

    I look forward to celebrating the 20th anniversary of the REAL ID act without needing a REAL ID. It was delayed fyi. Still don't need one to fly.

    Skipping the counter with CT or DE license?

    You guys do understand that the restricted license in Delaware is, according to Delaware, ONLY for driving within Delaware, yes? https://dmv.de.gov/DriverServices/drivers_license/DPC/index.shtml And CT recognizes that it might not be valid elsewhere...

    Navigating around MCO and car rental questions....

    IF there are at least 2 adults, consider booking the car in the name of the adult he can be away from more easily, and divide and conquer. The adult driving the car goes and stands in line if needed. The other adult spends time with your kidlet, maybe shops or browses if your son is good with...

    Are DVC points not all the same?

    March 2023 points would need to be used by the end of February. For instance, I have February points. My travel with them has to be finished by January 31. Glad someone mentioned that and you figured it out. Good luck with Poly. I nearly gave up for the upcoming February and this year's...

    Rundisney is going to stop giving park tickets to vol!!

    OK when was this time of free tickets and passes? I volunteered for the marathon weekend in 2015 (when the emails came from wdw.sports.enthusiast at disneysports dot com). I got a jacket and "points" towards a future free ticket. They then changed who ran it, and those points were gone. So...

    Why do people regularly use rack rate for break even?

    Discounts aren't always around. In my experience whatever discount there is...is ON the website when you go to book. So I've casually used whatever price pops up when I check the resort for the time I'm going. If I were going to use cash that's the price I'd pay for that trip. I think that's...

    Walking the 1/2 Marathon

    You reminded me of something that I should have mentioned about me. :) I am not competitive. I'm barely competitive with myself. I do my best. Pretty much always. But I have a mental block about trying to beat someone. Seeing someone pulling up in front of me when I don't want them...

    Walking the 1/2 Marathon

    I was one on a bus from a resort where no bus came by for over an hour. We were told it was due to that. Likely half dozen of the one and 6 of the other, but saying "no buses came for over an hour to Beach Club or other resorts, and that was disney's issue and fault but now I'll be in line at...

    Walking the 1/2 Marathon

    Good question. My bibs tell me I was in E this year and I was in "S4" last year for the Challenge. I don't remember what the corrals were like in 2022. It's definitely possible corrals made a difference, though I chose the same estimated time as I always do, and of course, they could see my...
