Reservation Question

[TEK224]

I may be planning a trip to go to WDW in late March. It's not when I usually go, and it's spring break time, so I have some questions if anyone can help.

1. will it be super crowded during that time (3/27-31)?
2. what are the EMH times (do they stay open til midnight)?
3. I have some points I have to bank by the end of Oct. I have a March UY.
So do I still have to bank those points now and then if I call, say, next
month to make the March reservations, just tell them to use the banked
points first?
4. I'll be taking my 16 y/o nephew. We may only do parks a couple of days.
I was thinking of staying at either BWV (he likes ESPN Club), AKL (to see
the animals, plus I've never stayed there before) or BLT (to check out
the new place). Which do you think would be the best place to stay. I'll
be staying at BCV in Jan.

Thanks!

That's the week before Easter - peak time for WDW. Yes, it will be crowded.

Best way to predict that would be to check out the park hours for the comparable week this year. That would be 4/4 - 4/8. Check out this link: Disney Park Hours: April 2009

Yes. If you want to use your 2009 use year points for a March 2010 trip, you must bank them first. MS should use those first, but listen carefully to the point status at the end of the call (ask if one isn't offered) and make sure that is what the CM did. Easier to fix when it happens than later.

I'll let others chime in on that one. My recommendations would depend on whether or not you'll have a car. Don't think I'd want to be at AKV without one.

Enjoy the trip!
