    Split Stay luggare transfer ??

    We did this in Apr. from BWV to SSR. Front desk called our cell when the room was ready while we were in the parks. Bell services even kept a bag of refrigerated items for us cold during the time in betweeen. It was a smooth transition and we did tip on both ends.

    To DDP or to not DDP

    Going for a 4 night stay at Boardwalk 1 bdrm - our party is 2 adults and 2 kids (5 and 3). Can't decide if the DDP is a good value. We are not big eaters, but do like to eat well (not fried foods and burgers all the time). Our two kids are quite picky and do not eat a lot of food. We do want...

    BWV vs. BCV

    I should probably clarify that I'm comparing a 1 bdrm standard view at BWV to 1 bdrm BCV during the 2nd half of December - that's the 20 point difference. So, if the pools at BCV are what sets it apart from BWV, in Dec. that usually doesn't matter, right?

    BWV vs. BCV

    I've noticed that a 1 bdrm at BCV costs 20 points more than a 1bdrm at BWV for the same time period that we've booked. Are the BCV that much better than the BWV? If so, please tell why. I only know that they share a very similar location. Is it really worth the extra 20 points to stay a BCV?

    Which would you choose?

    Thanks for the responses so far. Having never been to the BLT I wasn't sure if the newness of the place combined with the monorail access would trump the BWV even if the room was much smaller. I will call MS to get off that waitlist!

    park opening times question...

    We are visiting WDW next week staying at BWV and SSR. My question is about published park times during this week: if for example, MK publishes a 9am opening time - can we get into the park earlier, and will rides be operating? How does one find out if the opening time is different than a...

    Wait list question...

    I'm currently on a waiting list for a 1bd standard view at BWV for check-in on Apr. 18th. I noticed on the Disney room reservations site, 1bds are available for cash ressies at BWV right now. How long before the check-in date, if ever, do these unreserved cash rooms go to DVC to fill wait list...

    Best rate for park hopper tix

    I just checked out undercovertourist.com and had a question. Can you get a cheaper 7 day instead of a park hopper and use the extra days at the other parks. Basicly use 2 days admission for one day to two parks?
