    Unused NE PH Tickets upgrade question

    I bought some 6-day PH, NE tickets from UT in hopes of using them to upgrade to APs in the future for me, DW and the kids. Following the Ticket Sticky, at the time, this was the best discount to purchase tickets for to upgrade them to APs. I won't be upgrading these tickets until 2016 or...

    Do let your kids pick the restaurants?

    My kids are old enough (9 and 7) to give some valuable input sometimes on the food! But since WDW is also for them to enjoy, I just ask them what characters they would like to eat their meal with. That usually helps with restaurants. Then of course buffets, help with the picky ones, which...

    Making sense out of insanity (DVC purchase)

    I agree with this. DVC is a luxury purchase. I would not think it's the best financial idea to make interest payments on a luxury purchase. On the other hand, many people do, because it's an emotional decision and that's what they want. Remember rental prices will go up, although, as other...

    string backpacks

    It's superlight and can be folded up and put in a pocket if you have nothing to carry. But if you load it with stuff, it will weight down the strings on your shoulders.

    Receiving DVC Membership Materials

    If Member Accounting won't give you the member ID number, they often can tell you when they mailed out the materials. That shouldn't take more than 4-5 mailing days.

    VB pricing compared to WDW resort pricing

    It is true that VB's upfront purchasing cost per point is less than other WDW based DVCs. But VB's annual maintenance fees are higher at $7.4076/pt vs Boardwalk (the highest at WDW) $5.8409/pt. So over the course of time, you will eventually pay more in total dollars.

    DVC Grand Californian - transport from LAX

    Link for supershuttle: http://www.supershuttle.com/Locations/DisneyLandAirportShuttle.aspx How many people are going? If more than 2, the flat rate taxi $45 one way, is cheaper and faster than a shuttle.

    How many DVC points to LIVE at WDW?

    I recall reading somewhere that Disneyworld limits you to 6 months of consecutive stays in any property resort. But right now, I can't find any link that states that. Similar discussion on another forum http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/does-anyone-live-legally-in-walt-disney-world.856782/

    help with PAP

    Here are a list of prices to help. Good luck! http://www.mousesavers.com/regular-walt-disney-world-ticket-prices/ Also, you may want to consider if you are going back again, within 366 days of your 1st entry. If so, a PAP may be worth it.

    nervous just switched 12/20-26th reservation

    Don't worry! You'll be at WDW over Christmas. At BCV, you guys can walk to Epcot and ferry to DHS pretty quickly. There will be things to do outside around the lake, like movie on the beach, ESPNZone, the boardwalk when you are tired.

    given up home phone, do you miss it?

    I've never had a landline. It's great, no landline bill to pay and no phone calls in the middle of the night. Only 1 number to give out. Also, side note and off topic, if you don't want to give up the landline number and you have a cell phone as well or a work line. Instead giving out 2...

    Mortgage Refinance...where do I start???

    I would start by calling whoever is servicing your loan and see what they can offer. Then start calling/emailing local and/or national banks, lenders. Generally with a national one, it may involve being on hold and talking to someone in a different time zone. With a local one, you can...

    Thanks for all the replies. I'll let my friend know to go to a DMV location and get a temp card or worse case, if they are unable to go to one, just write it down on a piece of paper and bring it with them.

    Premium Annual Passes for DVC Members for $399!

    Hmm, not sure about that, on the DMV website it doesn't say that. In fact it says that it won't mail a new card. On the back of my license it has some blank lines to write in an address change.
