    DVC Alamo discount

    There would be a corporate code that Alamo provides to DVC. I wasn't able to find it on the DVC website. Perhaps it is in in quarterly newsletter. I am not sure about that specific other, but many times these "offers" are for a limited period. So it may have been advertised in January for...

    Is this deal possible?

    There is a ton of information of the WDW Info website about resorts, travel plans, discount. You can also look at Mousesavers which also has a lot of info about discount travel. Your deal sounds good. Question is: are you satisfied and comfortable with it? Either you have to do the research...

    DVC website - 360 villa views

    I do see it on the homepage for BLT, VWL, and BCV. If you can not see it there you might have your computer set on Low Bandwidth. http://advc.disney.go.com/media/dvc/languagespecific/eng/resorts/baylaketower/360roomtour/mediaPlayer.swf'

    Family trip.. Am I planning right?

    The trip sounds great. Biggest decision is on-property or off. If you can afford on property, there are lots of advantages. Off-property is less expensive but you lose several perks. If you want to stay on-site, you have to get at least two rooms (they do have a few family suites that sleep 5 or...

    Chances for the 2nd week of Dec?

    As with everything, there are two possibilities. either you will get it, or you won't. it is good to know that your second choice is still a good one. staying at SSR is not a bad choice. the commentary recommending you call at 8:01 AM at the 7 month window doesn't mean much. if the resort is...

    Magical Express question

    I don't believe this is possible to do. They link the DME request to your reservation as well. So if you fly to MCO one day but won't check in to WDW until a week later, they will probably flag that as incompatible. You can always call DME to find out, but I don't think they would allow this.

    Purchasing DVC for Benefits

    The main reason to buy DVC is to use it for vacations. The only thing they guarantee you in the annual points. Anything else is a perk and isn't the real intent. It is nice, but you don't know it will be there. If you want to use DVC for vacations, great. But with the upfront fees and the annual...

    Last Minute Questions About BLT

    You asked a lot of resort-specific questions. If someone has stayed there, they might be able to give you an answer. But the easiest way to find out if there is a luggage cart, a shoe shine, a blender, and a boat .... Contemporary Resort Main Phone: (407) 824-1000

    group tshirts?

    I think it's a great idea. Not only does it make it easier for you to find your group, but it will make it easier for the teens to find each other. Children are always tuned in to find their parents. But as you know teenagers, they wander, they drift, they get caught in the gift shop, or have...

    Not sure

    I think you answered your question. You have two great trips planned and you still have 170 points. You said you could use the money. If you need the cash, rent the points. If money is not as big an issue, bank them. Another option is to bring a friend or relative or give the points to someone...

    2 Week notice

    The big advantage to online check-in is the wait once you arrive. They should have your room assigned and your keycards printed and packaged before you arrive. The resorts have a separate line for pre-checked guests so (in theory) you don't have as long a wait. Any check-in CM can handle a...

    Transportation questions

    You mentioned Animal Kingdom villas. The animal kingdom lodge has two sections, Jambo House - with villas and hotel and Kidani Village - only villas. Both have resort transportation including bus stop. I don't think there is a food court, but both places have restaurants. Jambo House is more...

    First-timer needs booking tips!

    It all depends how much work you want to do and how much money you want to pay. If you use a travel agent, you tell them what you want in what budget and they do the work. If you want the control of which resort, what flight times, what type of rental car, which park tickets. .... you can do a...

    New park needed!!!

    Building a 5th park isn't necessary. WDW needs to fill up their parks, not make it less crowded. With the expansion of Fantasyland, the building of Avatarland, updating existing attractions in Epcot and DHS, they don't need to build a 5th park. They are also updating a lot at Downtown Disney...

    BLT wow factor???

    If you want to sit in the lobby and be "wowwed" -- great. A resort is just that, a place to play, to sleep, to eat. I don't think Disney has any "bad" resorts. BLT is brand new, has a great location, is designed to be modern. If you want safari with animals, go to AKV. If you want boardwalk...

    Would this be a wise idea

    Would it make sense? Maybe. It depends on when you need to travel. If you have a short window within Aulani's busy season maybe. You have to determine if you will be able to book at 7-months or will it be full with Aulani owners. If you have to travel during Aulani's busy period, you are...

    Downtown Disney, what's the latest?

    Disney is always updating something. So DTD is no longer the nightclubs place. But there are plenty of restaurants, from family style (Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe) to music (House of Blues, Bongo's Cuban Cafe) to traditional (Fulton's Crab, Raglan Road Irish Pub). They are building up the...

    tell me about kouzzina

    I ate at Kouzzina in January. We were a party of four. LOVED the food. The menu was interesting, the atmosphere was very nice. We had a great waitress. The location is very convenient. And it is fun. Obviously, depending on season, time of dining, etc. it can be crowded. I went on a Tuesday in...
