    OneID account and DVC email are not the same thing. If you go into DVC > Profile > Contact Information, there is an 'Email' field there which is where your reservation emails go. THIS IS NOT THE SAME as your global "Disney OneID" account/email. SIGN IN uses OneID, not the email address you have...

    Just Back from 9/22 Viva Italia

    To GAN and others I know have asked for more information and a Trip Report from our 9/22 Viva Italia, my apologies, we've unfortunetly had a terrible tragic family event that started a few days after we returned from Italy, so we've been very preoccupied. I hope to still compile a TR in the...

    Just Back from 9/22 Viva Italia

    Just returned from our first trip with ABD two nights ago. The ABD trip ended last Friday 9/30, but we stayed for an additional 4 nights on our own and just returned 2 nights ago. Longer trip report to follow soon, but a few thoughts I wanted to pass along quickly for a couple of folks I know...

    Viva Italia - Room Assignments

    LOL! Just back from Viva Italia myself literally 2 days ago. The ABD trip ended on Friday Sept. 30, but we stayed 4 additional nights on our own and didn't return home until this past Tuesday night. The hotels and rooms all turned out very nice, however as others have pointed out the rooms at...

    Time for Scavi Tour at St. Peter's Basilica?

    Very excited to hear how it was for you Tink, but unfortunetly for us I waited too long to send a request for a reservation (though it was like 32 days in advance) and I recieved a reply it was full for the only day my plans would allow for it (the day we are at VC with ABD). Thanks for the...

    Winery / Vineyard Tour or Wine Tastings during Viva Italia?

    LOL! I know what you mean. I was a little apprehensive myself, but we bought an inexpensive Garmin GPS with Italy map and we aren;t planning on driving in any large cities. Even dropping the car off in Florence won't require driving anywhere in the center of the city where things get crazy...

    Winery / Vineyard Tour or Wine Tastings during Viva Italia?

    Buon giorno jlou! Since ABD already provides transfer to the Venice airport on the last morning, we're renting our car out of Venice's Marco Polo Airport. We'll just use the included ABD ride to get to the car rental location at the airport. Since we will be down in Tuscany for our self...

    Viva Italia 10-13-2011

    We had to change our plans to Sep. 3 instead anyway, so we should be safe... from Irene at least anyway. :-) Looking forward to this weekend still though. Hopefully Irene cooperates with us and doesn't rain on our parade at AKLKV.

    No Irons in Italy Hotel Rooms

    So we've been reading through our Viva Italia Pre-Departure Handbook and noticed it indicates Italian Law prohibits irons in hotel rooms. We will be there end of Sept. first week of October which means cooler temperatures. As such I expect to wear khakis and long sleeve button shirts as...

    Viva Italia - 60 days out ABD Package?

    Yes corky, this is our first ABD trip. Kinda nice at least that they track repeat guests and send you something different as opposed to the same thing every time. The luggage tags are just cheap paper ones (well, tough paper like what a Disney World Annual Pass is made out of) with our names...

    Winery / Vineyard Tour or Wine Tastings during Viva Italia?

    Hi Sueil. We did decide to extend an additional 4 nights after the last day with ABD in Venice. I mostly just did lots of research on all things Tuscany via Trip Advisor, Google, and the many Italy websites I've found. We decided to rent a car through AutoEurope due to the best prices after...

    Viva Italia - Vatican Day Schedule

    I was thinking of trying to book the Scavi Tour at the Vatican for the afternoon we are already there. The logistics make it a little hard to plan though because you don't really know what time lunch gets over by with ABD, plus you cannot CHOOSE your Scavi Tour time nor are the times even listed...

    Viva Italia - 60 days out ABD Package?

    Yup, that's about right beachcat. We got the two nice ABD backpacks wrapped in some ABD ribbon, luggage tags, the Pre-Departure Handbook, and two clear One Quart Carry On zip lock bags with explaination. Thought this last item was a little random, but it was a nice reminder of what the Carry On...

    Meals in Italy

    Ooo! Thanks for asking these questions corky, I have been pondering the same thoughts lately. As far as getting some Euros in advance, are you are all saying if we use our current banks Savings or Checking account ATM card IN Italy, we will get the best exchange rate? In Italy, are there any...
