    Paying with Rewards Card

    Yep, and in case you didn't think of it, if you charge the rest of your trip, you can use the points on the trip. For example, we went in 2009. Had 1600 points = $1600 dollars toward our trip. We still had to pay oop for the rest so we used the Disney Visa for that. Then when we got to WDW we...

    Official 'how to get from point A to point B while at WDW' thread.

    Looking to stay in the Beach Club Villas but wanted to know what the transportation will be like to Magic Kingdom? There are 7 of us. 2 adults, 1: 14yo ds; 1: 8yo ds; g/b twin 4 yo; and 1 who will be 2 at time of trip. (I gave the kids ages in case there's any extra tips you can include.)...

    the $14k was not incl travel costs...but it did incl park-hoppers and the DDP for 8 ppl. It didn't incl tax but it also didn't incl any discounts. Disney always offers some sort of discount and I can't imagine in this economy that they'll respond by taking that away- who in their right mind...

    TGM recommends waiting till the end of your trip to add the no-exp option so that you're not paying for it on tickets you'll use that trip. Now I understand that to get the 20 tickets in 10 out of it you'd need to do it upfront. But let's say you know you're going to go to the water pak once...

    So what your saying is that the non-expiring MYWPH & water park tickets are really like 2 tickets- 1 non-expiring for the parks and 1 for the water parks. So if I use 1 of those tickets on Epcot- I can still use it a different day/trip at Blizzard beach?

    This quote is from the planning board. I didn't want to hijack the OP and I think my ?s regarding it are more appropriate here. If I'm wrong just tell me and I'll move it ;) OK- so what I'm wondering is- given all this info and the fact that I'd only be going every other year at...

    Thank you Sandi. I was actually looking at resale bc I want BCV. I would most likely not be traveling before 2012- unless I bought a resale that had enough pts that would expire otherwise. I've seen it mentioned somewhere else on this board that having a UY close to when you want to travel is...

    Could you tell me what a "premium" anuual pass is vs. a regular one? Thank you for your patience with me! :)

    Should I buy Annual Passes?

    Don't mean to hijack, but just to clarify...the AP is not a family pass- it is PER PERSON? If so, at what age do they start charging for park admission? (would I need to get a pass for my 3 yr old?) So, in addition to the 17k for the dvc, the 1k+ maintenance fees, there's another $2500+ for...

    So, if I usually vacation in May- would it be better to pick a UY in Dec then in Feb? if I want to bank & borrow from the years surrounding our trip? How does borrowing work then? Is there a time frame on the trip reagdring points borrowed from the following year?

    Seriously? Can anyone tell me what are the prices like for the annual passes for a family of 7?

    Thank you for the response! I have another ?... I looked at the dvc site and saw that there are discount annual passes...since I'd probably only go every other year- that wouldn't do anything for me. Are there weekly pass discounts for dvc members? If so, would someone be willing to post...

    So I "slept on it" and thought of a few more... How long are points good for? Are they only good until the last day of the month before the beginning of your UY? What happens if you don't bank those points? Is banking points for saving them to a specific year- or for saving them period...

    general ?'s

    How does this work? Also, I know that BCV only has room for up to 8, but couldn't I book 2 rooms at the 11 month window? Or is there a rule/stipulation that prohibits that or would make it difficult? Another question that I wanted to clarify...so if I have a UY of Feb that I get now and I...

    general ?'s

    We're planning a trip for 2012 for our family of seven plus my parents. We want to stay at BCV and, priced around $14000, I'm wondering if vacation club would be the better way to go. We would probably go every other year or so and we like nice views. I'm also interested in some of the other...

    Does anyone have pics of the BCV or BLT rooms?

    I know there's a specific room pic thread- but I was loosing steam after page 8 and many of the pics are no longer up. Does anyone have pics of the villas at Beach Club or Bay Lake Towers? I'd also love too see pics of some good views from these places and info on what you specifically...

    GF - view?

    We stayed in May and paid for a MK view room. We were in the top floor of Boca Chica- we could see the castle, watch the MK fireworks, and had a great view of the electric light parade from our balcony. It was a really nice room with great views. My siggy has a pic of my dh and dd on our...
