Are the safes at PBH large enough to hold a laptop? What do all of you do with electronics like that if they don't fit in the safe?

It's the same price for the web keyboard. My kids decided against using it when I told them they'd have to pay for it themselves Two years in a row now, and they haven't missed using it.

Hi,
Yes, you can load trays and bring it to the room. Many,many people are doing it several times a day. Last night was quiches-yuck to all who eggs. Ices are now the afternoon offering and pasteries are combined with cookie/chocolate time. I was REALLY disappointed this morning-no raspberries or choc croissants.
I forgot to look for dvd player,but hubbie said it's there.
I don't know if villa suite is club-sorry.
Off to meet Bev-Universal Freak wasn't there at 11.
Trattoria del Porto tonight.
Motherfletcher- How much roughly is the annual pass and what would I pay about for a club rm here this time next year. I also have AAA. Don't know what the best rate is without ENT now- need help because I mUST stay here next year. Thanks!!!!
Ask away for any help . It's my pleasure!

I had a great time riding with you and your son. He was so polite and even acted like he could understand my strong Texas drawl. I thought we might need a translator with my accent talking to a New Yorker but we made out fine.

Your son is very good on MIB and didn't need many tips. He is a natural and I suspect he will get all 9's within the next day or two. Just tell him to be brave and give up the bonus as he can get more points off of the big,big bug. Be sure and buy his picture when he first maxes out!

AP's are $191.65 but renewals are only $99.95.
APH rates for PBH Club for 7/2 is coming up at $329.
The best deal I can see, right now, for next year is the Ritz at $139!
I bought a bunch of Preferred Annual Passes on a charity auction a while back. They don't expire. Let me know if you want one and I can save you over 20% off the regular rate.
Did you do the character buffet at Trattoria del Porto? What did you think?

Goofy- If you don't bring a laptop the one on the TV is the same price but kind of a pain (I found myself retyping way too often). Thedisneymom is using one of the 2 that are in the club lounge for nothing.

Phamton-
Thanks for being so nice and meeting us. My son raved about you and your skills all night. He has made it to the mid 7's but promises to practice and achieve it by next year. I found you to be as sweet as can be. Many thanks!!!
Motherfletcher-
Thanks for all the advice and I will probably purchase from you, but what's a preferred? Is it different from the prices you listed? Do you need an annual per room or can you book 2 rooms with one pass? Wow-I'm shocked that the Ritz is less. Are those PBH club prices for 2 or 4 people and can you have a cot brought into a 2 queen? Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to figure out how to do club while my son does grad school.
Trattoria had Woody and Scooby. We like it a great deal. A pasta buffet with some meat dishes. There was a brisket with a delicious sauce, a mahi dish. chicken with creamy garlic sauce, and a dessrt table. There were also many salads and cheeses. Very nice and you could really fill up.
IMGONNABE40-
The safe will not hold a laptop -very small wall type with room for a manilla envelope size.

The Preferred Annuals passes are the ones I bought because they get the discounts and free parking. I didn't need to, but bought PAP's for everyone in the family. The other AP is the Power Pass which has some blackout days but only costs about $100 now and offers no discounts. I think you can get more than one room with PAP's especially at PBH because they have never asked to see the pass anyway. The PBH Club was for 4 but 2 are kids. You can get a rollaway but they charge $25. Don't worry about questions- that's what the forum is for. We've got to help get him through grad school so he can take care of all of us when we get old, feeble and so heavy we can't get up!
The character dinner sounds the same as when we went. The food is good but it seems so quiet compared to WDW character dinners.
Any fireworks yet?

Sorry for the delayed response,but I was computerless since arriving home. Thanks for the info Motherfletcher. I will give details about vacation soon. One thing though that was great-my daughter who didn't want to play bingo at PBH won 50% off our last night's room charge. What a vacation! If only it hadn't rained most of the time.

Help! What are platinum cards? How do you get upgrades? I have been to DW and US too many times to count and never get upgrades. I know they are running a brisk business in August when we are returning because in the 10 minutes(truly 10 minutes!), it took to call my husband to confirm a second room with him, the Yacht club had sold out of that particular room.
Any suggustions? We will be at PBH aug22-26 and YC Aug 26-29.
Can't wait!!

Sign up for Loew's 1st here:
http://www.loews-first.com/Loewsfirst.asp
They'll email you a number that you can use right away. Then they start you out with a Blue Card then after a few stays they send you a Gold Card and after a few more they finally send you the Platinum. Getting upgrades with your Loews 1st is easy compared to upgrades at WDW Resorts.
