    Is November really going to have low crowds?

    Crowds should be fine. I did observe the same with BTMRR not having FP+ available on Nov 14th which was day 67 when I booked mine on 9/8. At that time every attraction was available, including A&E the day before, 11/13, and the day after, 11/15. Thus, I chalk it up to being a FP+ quirk, though...

    So, which DVC resort is the best value via resale ?

    SSR is consistantly refered to as the best value, multiple times in this thread as copied above. However, looking at the extended OKW contracts available, like the one below, the price is only slightly more than SSR while the point chart for OKW is much less. I have done an extensive review of...

    Upgrading tickets to AP's - what happens to our FP+ selections?

    You SHOULD be able to upgrade and have your previous FPP selections transfer from the 10 day tickets to the AP. However, I wouldn'd dare go out on the limb and say that there will be "no issues."

    As of 12:20 today (Thurs) looks like the following: HS (park to Avoid) TSMM FP gone at 10:45, ToT FP return 2:30, RnR FP return of 5:25 For Epcot (Recommend Park) Soarin FP gone at 10:15 and TT FP gone at 10:30 It is obvious that FPP opens up the ability to get FP for "super headliners"...

    Rockin Rollercoaster ALREADY out of FP?!?!

    FP+ are most definately limiting the availability of paper FPs, and as said many times in this thread, it will continue until paper FPs are no longer available. One reality that hasn't been mentioned but is a contributor is that in the past those individuals who sauntered into HS after 11:30...

    Annual Pass Speacials

    I need to renew. Balancing holding off for potential deals vs. taking the plunge. I would normally just wait but with FPP role out looming I would like to have valid pass/tickets in hand to schedule FP.

    Vacation Cycle- how do you spend points?

    We typically go for 7 to 10 days sometime during Oct - Dec. We rotate first week of Dec with a trip in either Oct or Nov of the following year. This allows us to visit once a year but with the trips being just slightly less than 365 days apart we take advantage of the DVC AP savings by...

    Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section V

    Historically, I have always heard back on the Tuesday before day 30. On the last BLT I heard back on the Monday before day 30. Thus, this time I heard back on day 25. My deal on the BLT contract was all about timing. I was talking to the broker about an OKW contract I had closing with them...

    Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section V

    Both contracts are through Fidelity. Found out the OKW contract passed ROFR 10 days after broker was notified by Disney. In that time I had called and emailed multiple times and repeatedly heard that "we should hear back soon." They ultimately waived the admin fee on both the OKW and BLT...

    Urgh... fidelity is driving me crazy!

    I followed up with TSS and was told, "Looks like an error on our end so I am having our admin staff delete that. Thanks for the heads up." Apparently Sale penings should be pulled from their site, "...when the deposit check arrives from the buyer." In my case that should have been 2/1/13...
