    BEWARE OF USING POINTS IN DVC COLLECTION ETC.!

    Question, if you are in the position where you have Reservation Points, would it be better to use them during the beginning of your Use Year instead of towards the end that way if a cancellation does occur, you have more time to use those points at another eligible location? I ask because I'm...

    Dining Plan during Christmas

    We are heading to WDW the week before Christmas (Dec 19-26). Is it safe to assume that the prices at Table Service restaurants will be at their all-time high? I am thinking of getting the Dining Plan (1 QS + 1 TS + 1 Snack) for our stay since I "think" (I haven't run the numbers...see Q #1) it...

    Another Christmas booking question (@ BLT)

    Thanks. I feel slightly silly packing my DVC card in my hospital bag just in case but, sometimes you do what you have to do!

    Another Christmas booking question (@ BLT)

    Hello. As excited as I am for the arrival of our new bundle of joy, my due date is floating around my 11 month booking window for Christmas 2015. We are planning a trip the week before Christmas and would like to stay at our home resort, BLT. My question is, do the 2-bed theme park views go...

    BLT 2 bedroom dedicated or lock-off?

    Yes, we own at BLT so I was expecting to book right at 11 months out. I was also leaning towards the lock-off for the extra room for the grandparents. They are always so helpful and I'd like for them to be comfortable and able to spend as much time with the grandkids and still have their own...

    BLT 2 bedroom dedicated or lock-off?

    Hello! I am anxiously planning a trip to BLT in Dec 2015 and was wondering if a 2 bedroom dedicated or lock-off would be best for our trip. Travel party includes DH, DD age 3, TBD age 1, me, Grandma & Grandpa. I expect DH, myself and TBD age 1 to stay in the master bedroom, DD age 3 in the...

    WL pool closures in Sept. My vacation VENT!

    I'm not being cynical or condescending and I'm sorry that it turned you off. I was just pointing out that some people saying that using the villa pool for the whole resort was just not large enough and the OP mentioned that they wanted to go on a cruise instead of this trip before they booked. I...

    contemporary or yacht club???? Have you regretted choosing an Epcot resort over MK?

    Having stayed at each area (BLT and BWV) only once, at our latest stay at BWV, we missed BLT. I missed the walk to MK and the lake view. But maybe that is because I now live no where near fresh water so I crave the lake. BWV was nice to walk to EPCOT, but since we didn't have park hoppers we...

    Share Your Magical CM Experiences

    Maybe not extra magical, but extra entertaining. We recently stayed at BWV. A CM from Disney Transportation, Nico, was there to track buses. He told us "bad jokes every 20 minutes, the same bad jokes". It helped keep the mood light when waiting for buses. He also sang popular Disney songs...

    BOG lunch "fast pass"

    I don't know how far in advance they are available, but I do know that I got one a couple weeks out for last week (end March/beginning April). Also, when we were there, early that morning (7am) I checked to see if I could change my time and there were openings. My friend is also going to...

    Epcot Dining Help Please!

    We loved Marrakesh! The food was very good, the lamb shank was amazing! And there is entertainment - belly dancing and music. I thought it was a really good time and I would go back.

    Bringing in kids meals to Restaurants

    Here is what we did with our 1.5 year old. We chose restaurants that were not Signature Dining since I didn't want to deal with the exact issue you are talking about. We had her try something of either ours or we ordered her something basic (noodles + butter). Some dinners she decided that all...

    What does your Garden Grocer order look like?

    At bare minimum I would order a flat of water bottles. They are $2.50 a piece inside the parks and in late July you will go through a lot of water.

    Just Back, Experiences

    They drained the moat so they could drive the cranes in front of the castle. It is quite geniuses for it to be a multipurpose function, or maybe that is just the engineer in me :-)

    Eat around the world or book a TS lunch?

    I think you would have a better chance of getting something he can 100% eat at a Table Service vs the food carts outside the various countries. I only say this because the CM working the carts may or may not be able to know what all the ingredients are, where if you are at a TS, you might have...
