    ****Official August 2015 Check-In Thread****

    Counting down to my first DCA vacation, August 23-28. I am a WDW vet and DVC'er that has moved west. Meeting my bestie from MI for a girls only trip to celebrate my 55th b-day. We'll be staying at GC with points as VGC had no availability. Can't wait - I have never been further west than Vegas!

    Pirates & Pals Fireworks Cruise

    For those inquiring about getting back to you resort....Disney transportation runs until after DD closes. After park hours, take the resort bus going to DD and then transfer to your resort bus. Any bus driver can help you if you're not sure.

    Presidents Day Week at Disney

    We lived in the mid-west and went every year during Presidents Week as this was our school's Winter Break. Not sure how old your kids are but there will be wait times. It seems like fast passes for Soarin and Toy Story Mania were ALWAYS gone within a couple hous of park opening regardless of...

    2 BR dedicated @ AKV

    Thank you everyone! My main concern is keeping it as close to 300 points as I can. Our home is BWV but it's my understanding all 2 BR are lock-offs. We stayed at SSR last time but the grandchildren are in school so our dates are limited.

    2 BR dedicated @ AKV

    Planning a family trip over Presidents Week in 2014. As this is not our home resort, we must wait until 7 months out to book. What are my chances during that week as its the start of Spring breaks? Looking at either value or standard 2 BR (dedicated) as we won't spend much time in the room...

    Borrow, then bank?

    I have another question to add to that scenario.... What happens to the 2012 UY points from the cancelled trip? I know they get returned into that use year, but can they then be banked?

    Segmenting @ SSR

    To save money, we ALWAYS buy tickets in advance and then upgrade, if needed. In our case, DH & I bought through undercovertourist and will upgrade to DVC AP at check-in (we save $28/ticket). DD is FL res - her fam has "wild 4 disney" & will upgrade to one of the seasonal resident AP's...

    Segmenting @ SSR

    Leaving in less than 28 days and would like to segment - DDxDP on 1st night, no dining 2nd night, DDP the remaining nights. From everything I've read here, I can segment without losing my ressie even if there's not availability. We're staying at SSR. Although I don't want to, I will go to...

    Royal Plaza Downtown Disney?

    DH & I stayed there for a week @ Halloween 2008. We had AP's but found a great rate including upgraded room and free buffet breakfast through Mousesavers about a week before our trip, so I booked it (and cancelled on-site). We requested a king and got it, the room was clean. As DVC members...

    Debit card at check in

    Thanks everyone! We are using points so it sounds like we won't need to leave a card on file. Besides, I don't like the thought of my debit card being linked to ANYTHING! I have Disney GC's but will get a couple prepaid cc's as well, thanks again.

    Debit card at check in

    We're getting a 2-bedroom villa @ SSR. There will be 7 adults, 1 child, 1 infant. We no longer have credit cards and to keep things simple, we're telling the front desk to not allow charging privledges to KTTW cards. I assume you still have to use a card at check-in?? Can we use a debit...

    Upgrading Wild 4 disney ticket

    My DD gets FL resident discount. If she gets the Wild 4 Disney ticket (she'll add PH option), can she upgrade? Possibly to the 6-day resident PH? (not going during any blackouts and all days will be used before May 15th). Another scenario, if it is upgradeable, and she uses the W4D PH ticket...

    2-BR dedicated @ SSR

    I just booked for next spring and can't wait....we are taking grandbabies, aged 2 & 4 (and their parents!). Are these rooms in every building? What area should I request to be close to DTD? DH & I stayed a couple years ago - Congress Park I think, but I'm not sure. The location was...

    Cheapest 5 person room

    Bussing was okay, but some drop-off at 2 parks. On the other hand, sometimes we were the only ones on the bus in the morning. (We went the first week of Nov.) Most of the time, especially in the afternoons & evenings, we'd just walk to/from DTD and catch buses back and forth there. If I was...

    Cheapest 5 person room

    Are DTD hotels an option? I subscribe to Mousesavers newsletter and besides getting a great rate, we got buffet breakfast included.

    APs

    I haven't been able to log-in for over a month. I can't get DH's to work either. It's aggravating as we are leaving in 3 days and I'd like to print out the current beni's and TIW participants :sad2:

    Hotel near WDW that has free transport from the airport?

    It sounds like you're staying onsite starting Saturday. Maybe your husband could stay near the airport on Friday - most have a free shuttle to/from airport. He could meet you and the family at the airport on Saturday and the whole family could do ME and get dropped off at your WDW hotel - bags...

    Royal Plaza - DTD

    You should book it - I don't think you'll be disappointed. We spent a week there this past fall. We were originally booked at CBR with AP rate but got an awesome rate through mousesavers for RP than included buffet breakfast & upgraded room so we switched. We also love DTD, expecially in the...
