I have reserved 3 rooms for June. They did not ask for a card number or any type of verification that I had the card. They did say I would need it to check in with the dicounted rate.
You can book the room before you buy the Entertainment Book. The Entertainment Books are not exactly good for one year from the time of purchase.The 2003 Book expires Nov. 1, 2003. After that, you'll need the 2004 book.
