Like many things, if you only consider the product or service you get, it is easy to say BBB isn't worth the expense. However, the experience CAN be worthwhile. My DD8 went to BBB on Christmas Eve for the first tme this past year. It was a suprise and she didn't know until we got to the castle...

It also depends on how many people you have. We have 3 kids and 2 of them are considered adults for the DDP. So we get 4 adult DDP and 1 child with the FD offer. For us FD saves a couple hundred over the 35% pin code.

The auto train might be good idea. It runs from VA to Orlando. If you book early the price isn't to bad.

So after 50 min of a busy signal and 35 min on hold I find out CP is 2 table service credits ARG!

I have to think that online ADRs have resulted in fewer CMs (although I don't think they are actually Disney employees) and fewer phone lines. The business case for developing online ADRs had to include cost savings. The problem is there are less people available to cover short term spikes like...

Finally got through at 7:51. I got a message saying, "Your call will be answered within ...." then there was a about two sentences in Spanish. I know I will be on hold for a while but not telling the estimate in English don't make it seem any shorter :)

Our last two trips ('07 and '09) we surprised our children. They didn't know until we drive under the "Welcome to Disney World" sign. '07 we drove form Delaware but our boys were 8 and 10. In '09 we took the auto train. I had made up a week long bogus itinerary of day trips once we got off the...

I think if you only look at cost, Free DDP isn't worth it. However, using DDP is an entirely different experience. If you use TS for dinner you can have a very nice meal every day and not worry about your budget. Making ADRs is part of the fun too. When I tried to 'calculate' the cost of DDP or...

Anyone know how long it has been down? Since it is down during the start of an ADR window I have to think it is a problem not scheduled maint.

Leaving at an odd hour is a good idea. I think 14 hours from Pittsburgh is optimistic. Another option is the auto train. If you were planning to stay one night on the road it really isn't much more than just driving. Our last trip, we took the auto train down and drove back, staying about 5...

On our last trip we were planning to leave around 3pm. We were driving so it wasn't a hard departure time. We saved one of our table services and planned lunch at Crystal Palace. We didn't plan to go on any rides just hang out on main street and go to lunch. We ended up getting a hair cut for...

I vote yes! I would add that monorail resorts also make it easier to make short trips to the park. I never felt bad about leaving MK or EPCOT because someone needed rest. It's a quick trip back to the park for an extra hour or so after everyone was rested.

We used the Neverland Club in May 09. DD5, DS10, DS11. My wife and I had dinner planned at the Wave to celebrate our anniversary. The cost was a bit high, especially for 3 kids, but it was for a special occasion and the only way we could have had some kid free time in Disney. I will say, I was...

We have kept the supprise for the last two trips (07 and 09). In 07 we drove from Delaware and told the kids (DS8 and DS6) we were going to a relative's. Not until we we got to the "Welcome to Disney" sign did they have a clue. In 09 we took the auto train. We (mostly my wife) planned for...

Dec 11 - 17 at the Poly! This will be our first stay at Poly and first non-summer trip. I can't wait for Christmas. 09-GF 07-POR 95-CBR

I was in pretty much the same situation. I had called the first week of Jan to book for me and my family. After talking with my mom about the discount we started talking about her going as well. I called with my reservation information and setup a second booking with just my mom and dad's...

We went in May 09 with DS11, DS10, and DD5 and stayed the Grand Floridian. The two younder ones slept in one queen bed and my older son slept in the day bed. It worked out as well as expected. My youngest one was old enought to not need a nap (any more the the rest of us). Had she needed quiet...

DD5 did not like Test Track at all but loved Soarin. She even went on ToT but didn't like it. I think for little kids the pre-ride has as much to do with how they react. Soarin doesn't have any think in the prerise or line to build up any fear. On test track, if you don't walk on, there are...

We were upgraded to a lagoon view on our May trip. We have 3 kids so we needed the day bad. The first room we were assigned had a nice view on the top floor. Wehn we were moved to a room (still lagoon view) with a day bed on the second floor the view was bad. We could see the Poly but the trees...

I had a similar situation. I tried the pin online and then called. The rep said they couldn't find the pin code in the system. She asked when I was looking to book. I was trying to price things for Dec '10 and she came up with a disocunt code that was valid through Dec 23rd. I booked the Poly...
