    Where do you book your stay?

    You can't book if you don't know your dates. Pick some possible dates, go online and check availability and special offers, compare rates, and THEN decide if you want to book yourself or get a TA. Personally, I would never use a TA, can't think of a single reason to use one.

    What should I do ? I need some Help!

    I wouldn't go. You don't realize it now, but you will NOT want to be separated from your infant. And you shouldn't be separated from an infant that age.

    Live at a Resort

    You're thinking of the Boardwalk Inn Garden Suites. There's no such thing at the Beach Club.

    Target Discount Still Works for Disney Giftcards

    I've used 6 gift cards in one transaction over the phone with Disney reservations, and 10-12 in person at the front desk. A little tedious, but worth it for the discount.

    Do I NEED to go to the Contemporary ?

    I had the bug too, but didn't like the cost, so I booked just ONE night at the start of a 4-day trip five years ago. I booked a standard lake view room in the tower. When I checked in, the CM said "Oh, we gave you the best room!". Turns out, I was upgraded to a one-bedroom suite on the top...

    Decorative Lights on Balconies?

    Just Don't. You can't decorate balconies without breaking the rules, at least at DVC resorts. And there are plenty of guests who don't appreciate "decorations" marring the look of any of Disney's beautiful resorts. Last year's statement to DVC members is below. Please. Don't. Resort leaders...

    Gift Card Question...

    We used them at many restaurants last trip, including places at DTD. The only place that did not accept them was Kimonos at the Swan. They said it was because "we're not Disney". Yet they accept the TIW card! Go figure.

    Food and Wine Fest?

    The F&W festival is September 28 to November 12, 2012... no earlier and no later. If you're there during that window you'll get to enjoy it. If you're outside that window you'll miss it.

    Rooms without reservations?

    We never, ever do this for one reason: if you just "show up", you pay full rack rate. We never go without a discount of 20-30%. The current "general public" discount on value resorts is 20-25%, which you can get online or by calling.

    Contemporary Pool

    There's one jetted pool in the *middle* of the main pool, and one adjacent to the slide. If you look at Disney's webpage for the CR you will see them in the photo.

    Living in Disney for the summer

    We have a son at UCF and it's a pretty long commute to WDW... about an hour if traffic is good. I wouldn't consider that long a drive all summer. I would look for sublets in the Kissimmee or Lake Buena Vista area.

    Any suggestions on Boardwalk Studio Rooms?

    I always request a room away from the main pool because of the "pool party" noise. Upper floor usually has a better view than lower IMO.

    POR Lobby Work ?

    I wouldn't be concerned, but if you are - change resorts. The other mods are nice too.
