Small points left over (and a few other questions)

[kichan]

I just got off the phone with a specialist who told me that unused points expire at the end of the use year. I banked all of my point from last year, and will probably end up not using about 5 points. Does anyone have options on what I can do besides just let them expire??

Also, I requested a non-smoking studio at BCV for my stay from 4/20 - 4/25, but was told that all requests "cannot be guaranteed" - what are the chances of getting a smoking room?? Was also told that room requests are not taken until you check in. BCV is my home resort, and I made the reservation last year. At that time, I was told that if you call about 1 week in advance of check-in, a room would be assigned - is this the case??

One last thing - where is the best place to purchase 4-day park hoppers (without the Plus feature)??

the five points you can rent them out for $10 a point on the dvc rent/ trade board. just post when they expire in your post.

i have heard that people on this board sometimes fax the room controller a week before they go, what veiw/ floor and non smoking/smoking room they would like, you can find they fax # in your guide book under the resort that your staying at,


you can see if the disney store sells the 4 day hopper tickets and use your disney club card(if you have one) or try your dvc(i heard some stores wont give dvc a discount)

since we are also dvc memebers, we just took the plunge and bought the 7 day/plus tickets from the disney store w/ dc discount, they dont expire, until all the days are used. and if your only going to buy four days you can use it next year until you use all the days. we go to wdw every year so, we only need two days, one water park per trip, so these tickets should last us at least 3 years. we can do all 4 parks in one day ! we know what we like , and what we dont need to see again, and it works out great.

have a great mickey vacation

I would hunt on-line for current park pass specials. I went for the 7 day w/4 plus features even though we only were in the park for 4 days. This makes my next trip only cost air and food (since passes and DVC are than FREE aka already paid for and forgotten about )

I got a deal from paramount on a 7 day with free character breakfast for $301 an adult. It was a better deal than my CM cousin could get me.

Good luck
