    Looking at renting points at Villas at Grand Cali - Scam?

    We're looking into a trip to DL in July and looked for DVC points to rent at Villas at GC. One timeshare rental board listed a "2 bedroom/2 bathroom with 2 king beds, 2 queen beds" for 7 days $1900. Payment is Paypal, check, or MO only. After looking at the official room descriptions for...

    I got the same e-mail, but there wasn't a PIN showing after the "PIN:" line. Did you get the same with no actual PIN?

    Washington DC and PriceLine

    We went to DC during Spring Break and stayed at the Embassy Suites at Chevy Chase. The Metro is under the hotel and the hotel is part of a shopping center that includes Bloomingdales, AMC Theatre, Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs and Whole Foods was across the street. We called the hotel and...

    Fantasmic Dining Package

    You have a smaller wait time with the package, but the location is one of the worst. You're seated on the right wing of the amphitheater and the best view is in the center. The longer you wait to take package seating, the further to the right you will be.

    how is the food at akershus?

    It's a matter of personal taste. Read the menu before you decide and figure out if you will like it. Pretty simple, really. I like the entree items but really like the cold buffet, my official Favorite Food Thing at WDW.

    Need Value Resorts Opinions!

    Stayed at ASMusic and ASMovies. Like the theme at Movies better, but all have the same layout inside and out. It comes down to personal preference. When I stay at Value, I do Pop Century.

    Help with this strange comparison of Poly Vs. FWCabins for us?

    I would not pay Moderate resort prices to stay in what is essentially a very nice singlewide.

    Which ADR would you keep--Chef Mickey's or Crystal Palace?

    If you MUST see the Fab Four, then take Chef Mickey. Otherwise, CP has it all over CM; better food, better atmosphere, MUCH cleaner.

    Second Guessing Hoop Dee Doo

    So. Not. Worth. It. Food was not up to what I think of WDW standards. The show was so-so. Save the $$$ or 2TS and go somewhere else.

    AKERSHUS ROYAL BANQUET HALL--experiences??

    The worst part is waiting to be seated. The waiting area is outside, so people on their way to/from Maelstrom are always passing through. The CM's don't use amplifiers to make their voices carry, so you generally have to keep a sharp ear peeled for your party name. The photo op with Belle...

    Favorite Resort Table Service other than Boma and Chef Mickeys

    Another vote for GFC. The atmosphere is invariably pleasant and generally subdued. I thought the staff there to be the best of all the resort restaurants we've visited (never been to the signature places).

    Upgraded from Value to Deluxe

    That's *EXACTLY* what the CM said when we took the offer!

    BWI: Who loves it, who doesn't? Got an UPGRADE!

    Don't you wish all hard choices could be this good? Congrats on getting the e-mail. We got a similar one and jumped from Pop Century to Yacht Club for about $50/night.

    More than one pin attached to your name???

    Last year, we called in and found two on our account but not for dates we were able to use. YMMV. I don't think you can stack codes, though.

    Upgraded from Value to Deluxe

    It came from Disney Destinations. We tried to take the Value to Moderate offer but only for the resorts that offered queen-sized beds. Those were all booked, so we asked if there was a discount for going Deluxe. Looking at the other threads where the upgrade e-mail is mentioned shows that...

    Upgraded from Value to Deluxe

    We didn't qualify for free DDP because we arrive 10/20 and miss the next cycle by 3 days. We're paying for DDP OOP this year and were pretty bummed about it until we got the e-mail today.

    Upgraded from Value to Deluxe

    The rack rate for Pop (room only) for our 5-night stay is $641 or $128 per night. The rack rate for YC is $2616 or $475/night. Our total per night room cost is now $183.

    Upgraded from Value to Deluxe

    Got an e-mail with a PIN to upgrade from Pop Century to Caribbean Beach Resort for $22/day. When we called in to do it, the CM said that all the Moderate rooms available for that promotion were sold out. We threw the Hail Mary and asked if we could get a similar upgrade to Deluxe. She checked...
