    Hurricane Irma?

    Hi everyone. I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that our United flights which were set to arrive from Denver to MCO @ 3:27PM were just cancelled. I'm on the phone working to cancel the rest of our reservations at the moment, since United really doesn't have any other flights that will work...

    Southwest is giving 50,000 points again

    Thank you so much for sharing all this info cyndik1111! All great ideas - I may do something along those lines too :) Or, possibly just let the miles accumulate in the account and use them for actual flights :)

    Southwest is giving 50,000 points again

    Has anyone considered doing something like this with their SWA points...? We already have our flights paid for for our next Orlando trip, but am wondering if it's possible to buy a bunch of $50 Walmart gift cards with my points, and then go to Walmart and buy Disney gift cards with them...

    Southwest is giving 50,000 points again

    Great - I was hoping that was the case! Well, we've both gone ahead and applied/gotten approved already, so now we should be good to go :goodvibes 100k miles... is a whole lot of miles... Just in terms of what my husband and I could do with them if we were only to use them to go from...

    Southwest is giving 50,000 points again

    Thanks folks!! I really do have just ONE more question! This will make or break our decision to get 2 cards... With Southwest, when you go to book a flight, can you book a flight for a friend? Or only the card holders can use the miles? Thanks again, Jessica

    Southwest is giving 50,000 points again

    Oh! Thanks! So is it a combined account? (Meaning, when I charge something to my card or when my husband charges something to his, does it go to the same account #?). Also, do we both have to pay the 69$ annual fee? Thanks!! Jessica

    Southwest is giving 50,000 points again

    I read the first several pages in here but I haven't seen anyone ask so far: If my husband and I each apply for this card, will the 50,000 points be in separate accounts? Or, in the same account (it is this way on our Alaska Airlines). Just wondering if it's really 100,000 miles or 50k +...

    What is your Disney shameful secret?

    I can't stand Snow White! When she's singing especially... just... no. I was very underwhelmed by Fantasmic! And speaking of other park things: I really miss Alien Encounter! Anyone else have fond memories of that one? Stitch was just a terrible attempt at PC'ism. I watched The Lion...

    DVC Points

    My husband and I just purchased our first contract a few months ago (resale) through Fidelity. It was entirely easy and painless. We compared between buying direct and buying resale and for us it was a no brainer, considering the price difference. We ended up getting our 200 Saratoga...

    (CLOSED) Disney's BOARDWALK INN and VILLAS Information Thread ~2012~

    Aha! Thanks for the tips!! Also, my husband just called the Boardwalk directly and here's what he found out - we can just call down to housekeeping when we get there and they can provide additional pillows and blankets... and even box fans!! Gosh was I excited to hear this, we don't have...

    (CLOSED) Disney's BOARDWALK INN and VILLAS Information Thread ~2012~

    I also had another question, sorry if it's already been asked somewhere but I couldn't find it so far! There will be 8 of us staying in a BWV 2 Bedroom in September - besides what is provided for the 2 actual beds, are there any extra blankets/pillows provided?

    Guest of DVC and early arrival?

    Wonderful!! Yes, their names are on the reservation I made with member services. In that case, if they were to check-in, any idea what information the front desk will ask them for? Resort confirmation and photo ID maybe? Maybe really ignorant questions here, but this is going to be our...

    Guest of DVC and early arrival?

    Hello all, just had a question and was wondering if anyone else has run into this before and could give advice? My husband and I are DVC members and will be staying on points Sept 12 - 21 in a 2 Bdrm villa at Boardwalk. We have 6 guests staying with us as well, most of whom will be on the...

    Trying to decide if MNSSHP is worth the $$

    My husband and I (we're in our mid-20's) love the Halloween party! We went in 2010 and 2011 and we've got tickets to go again this September! Really do encourage you to try this out, at least once! In fact we enjoy it so much that this time, we're bringing a party of 8 (2 late teenagers and...

    (CLOSED) Disney's BOARDWALK INN and VILLAS Information Thread ~2012~

    Deb & Bill - thanks for the feedback!! Yes, we did an almost identical stay in a 2 bedroom OKW villa before (minus 1 person) and it was extremely roomy! I told everyone we will be like sardines since the rooms are considerably smaller and they are still excited :) You are right... and...

    (CLOSED) Disney's BOARDWALK INN and VILLAS Information Thread ~2012~

    Thanks for all the helpful replies on here. This is a wonderful forum! I have a bit of a dilemma in terms of sleeping arrangements. We are staying for 9 nights in a 2 bedroom in September and initially it was just going to be 2 couples (1 for each bedroom) and my 2 younger sibs on air...

    Deb & Bill - Ok, thanks! I'm ignorant enough about coffee that I can't say I've tried that but I gather it's nothing special. I will let him know that he may want to think of other options for coffee. He could brew his own as you suggest - or I guess just get stuck with a 100$ coffee bill...

    Thank you WDWKOOK! :flower3: That is good to know, I thought it had to be 24/7 but wasn't certain. Yes, we will be driving - the parking lot is a bit of a scary prospect in its own right, maybe we'll use the valet parking in that case :) I really love your idea of just eating somewhere on...
