Don't do online check-in with a credit card, they will automatically charge the dining plan to the credit card (others have reported this). I wouldn't do online check-in at all since you will need to have someone run the gift cards at the front desk. There's never much of a line at BW.

If you cancel the January reservation now, your points will go into the Holding Account which will add an additional layer of challenge in using them at a later date - you won't be able to make a reservation using those points until 60 days before arrival. Since you don't yet know the dates in March it may not matter, but be aware that March is a busy month with Spring Break reservations and availability will become more and more...

Your ADR's have nothing to do with the DDP so don't worry. Have a wonderful vacation. Bill

Just adding that SSR, OKW, VWL, BCV, BWV & BLT are all on site resorts. If you are staying at one of them, you do not have to pay to park at the theme parks. But as erionm aready posted, DVC membership by itself does not entitle one to free parking at the them parks.

Can someone give me a play by play of the process! Thanks!!!! You're making it too complicate. All you...

The member discount is 25% and is subject to availability. There will be days and times where you won't be able to reserve. One thing you can do to find out which is better is to give MS a call tomorrow and ask them to check dates and the amount for you. This way, you can compare. But, it sounds like your pin code deal is pretty good.

If you add them to the reservation, it would be for all nights. If adding them will not put you over the room occupancy, add them to the reservation. Since you are not doing the DDP once you move to AKV you don't have to worry about paying for them.

As far as I know we will not able to find out how many room are STD. view until DVD declares the rooms into inventory. When the rooms are declared, the blueprints are files with the orange county comptroller. We look at this to find the number of rooms added to the resort. From what is left, there is possibley only 4-6 more STD. view studios left to be added. All we do now is that out of 168 possible studios, that 86 have been declared....

Called today and was able to get a dedicated 2 bedroom at VB beginning July 23 for one week I didn't request anything else. Are there certain floors or buidlings that are better than others? Approximatley how far of a walk is it from 2 bedrooms to beach? Thank you very much!

The last time I was there, Guest Services at DtD was located behind Ghirardelli in the building between Team Mickey and Arribas Brothers glass and jewelry. Yes, you'll need photo ID, DVC Membership card and cash, credit or gift card.
