    Adding someone to your membership

    I did it myself several years ago when I added my wife to my contracts. I'll see if I can dig up the paperwork. It wasn't hard to do, by the way. By the way, I'm not an attorney or paralegal. I'm just a guy who has interest in a variety of areas. But like all legal paperwork, you need to pay...

    Sanford Airport- Worth the savings?

    We have flown to Sanford from the NorthEast a few times. In general, we found that the higher prices for car rentals (or limos/towncars, if you prefer) offset the airline savings. [And, to agree with others, the added fees of discount airlines frequently sets up higher-than-expected flight costs].

    Avatar 24 hr channel on Resort TV?

    The continuous Avatar loop on channel 80 ended, I think, on June 29 or 30.

    U.S. considering laptops in cabin ban on flights from Europe

    I shortly ago read that *all* European flights (not just to US) may have this ban in effect. I'll see if I can find a pointer to the article.

    transport to winter summerland golf

    We asked this exact question in April. We asked four different cast members (including one of the bus stop attendants) and got four different answers. The most ridiculous answer was from a Poly cast member who said "the EPCOT bus goes there". Uh-h-h-h, there is NO bus from the Poly to EPCOT...

    Ticket question

    Tickets expire 14 days after first use, if I remember correctly. To get more than that you need to pay for the "no expiration" ticket option.

    Will DVC let you switch resorts at the last minute

    When I did this (oh, maybe 10 years ago?) I had already been at the resort for a couple days. When I called Member Services and said I wanted to switch to another resort, MS said they had to call the resort for availability less than 3 days from check-in [that is, up to 3 days before checkin...

    wdw jasmine bus route???

    The train in MK also gives them out (sometimes) when 1) you are in the very back of the train, and, 2) The conductor has the child give the "all aboard" call. At least that's what we did when my son got his several years ago.

    Boardwalk Villas - Questions

    I have wandered around all of Boardwalk during my stays (home resort, you know :-). The Inn side is virtually a mirror to the Villas side. Long hallways must be part of the theme :-} Standard view rooms are near/at the resort entrance. My family likes the standard view rooms that are, as...

    DVC Sales For July

    Are you suggesting that points are selling for $750? ($3B / 4M points = (3/4)*$1000). Perhaps revenue is on the order of $400M-$500M? (not disputing the main thrust of your post)

    Penny Coin Press Souvenirs?

    A couple years ago I got a comprehensive list from Guest Services in EPCOT. I would assume that all GS locations would have these.

    BLT is fantastic!

    No. Anyone who has access to the lounge can go out to the viewing area. The wall at the edge of the roof is, oh, 4 feet tall.

    This worked twice for me for a 2BR MK view (coming up Apr 22!)

    DVC tour of Cinderella Suite

    I'm not so sure. I look at this like DVC member preview of attractions (Everest, TSM, etc.). While those other previews were for both DVC and AP holders, I think Disney limited the audience for bandwidth considerations. That is, I think they used a smaller audience (DVC members) because they...

    DVC tour of Cinderella Suite

    Yep. Yesterday I signed up for 2:40 AM September 1. (MK is open until midnight, and it's EMH night). We'll go to bed early 8/31 and wake up in time to get to MK. The kids are very excited (but I don't think they realize how early 1:30AM feels). PS I also read about this in an allears email...

    Need Boardwalk Inn/Dining plan help

    You have heard correctly that the bakery can be a nightmare. Go really early (before 8:00) or after parks open. I actually suggest finding a counter service you park du jour. These can also be a headache, but will (probably) be better than the bakery [in terms of crowds]. You suggest that...

    Is DVC really that booked?

    We've done this several times. Call Bell Services when you're ready to check out and tell them the bags need to be transferred to OKW. The bags will be ready for your call @ OKW late(r) in the afternoon. In terms of waitlist, we've never had any luck getting off the waitlist. It sure does...

    Distance to Autotrain

    I second taking 417. My Sanford experience is (mostly) close to the airport and 417 is a *MUCH* better road. (It helps that I have a SunPass so I can just zip through the tolls.)

    If arriving very early in the morning....

    What would we do? We would wander around the resorts. Being a tremendous geek, I enjoy watching the crews sprucing up the areas. The Grand Floridian staff seem to come from the main building at the same time; all the ladies have their umbrellas out and seem to be going for a walk. My...
