Clarification on a cpl of points(pun intended)
Hi! My name is Al & I used to think I was fairly intelligent until I found this site today(He-He)

Couple of quick questions.i don't know your abbreviation system yet so bear with me.

Hypothetical: You join this resort thingy & buy points @ I think $89.00 a point.soooo,let's say you want to stay @ the wilderness resort for a week & it's 300 points.Well isn't that approx: $27,000.00 for your week? I know this now reveals me as the moron that I must be.Can someone please clarify?I do understand you can buy unused points here for about ten bucks,which makes perfect sense,so maybe I am not a moron but simply half a wit! Thanks for any help.

Next question.I have a family of 5(3 kids).I had a great vacation(full price)of ten days @ the Polynesian in 1996 I believe.I paid an arm & A leg for it.I must say it was a "Magical experience" .I cannot repeat that feat again today but would like to take my family @ least one more time.I have looked @ your board & I have seen villas & studios @ various Disney locations that sleep four.The Polynesian basic rooms slept 5 but would be too crowded for today's family(the boy's won't stop growing.Who knew!)Anyway,my question is this.The accomodations that say four people,will they accept five,if three of them are children(ages 13 12 & 10)?

Sorry for being so long winded but thanks to all who have read & can reply.Sincerely,Al

I have a technical question. I can't figure out where to post so hopefully you can help.
First, I use dial up and the service is awful(something to do with the location of my house I can't get DSL) sometimes when I am posting a question or replying the internet is cut off. When I reestablish connecting, I find that my question has been posted twice although I hit the reply button once and the connection was lost midway through the message being sent. Sometimes when I am replying the same thing happens. I make sure I only hit the reply button once so I can't think of what I am doing wrong. Can you help? I have called my Internet provider and they were no help what so ever. Thanks

Hi all, if you have any techy questions you should post them on the Tech Board.

 

[GIOny]

Al, go back to the Discussion Forums and scroll down to the Disney Vacation Forum for the 1st part of your question and for the second part of your question scroll down to Disney Resorts. Ask you questions there and I'm sure someone can help you. And for you Fast Pass, Cabmom is right, you should post your question on the Tech Board, although these boards have been having alot of problems lately. I'm not sure if that is your problem or if you have an internet problem. Good Luck
