    Boarding tickets on cell phones

    We've flown Delta twice this year using boarding passes on our iPhones and iPod Touch devices. There were scanners at the TSA security entrance and at the gate. We would hold the device face down above the scanner with the QR code on the screen. It worked great.

    Booking rooms with points from 2 contracts

    I think Slappy answered the original question but this could be another solution. I believe your are allowed one transfer per year (per contract?) so (to use the OP example) couldn't they transfer the 30 points available from one contract to the other contract with 90 points remaining?

    New AP price with DVC discount?

    It is not a percentage, it has just been $100 off of the regular price so as Disney has raised their prices, the % off has gone down. I think its only $85 off of a renewal.

    DVC points for other destinations

    A 3 night cruise in September is anywhere from 75 to 116 points per person depending on room category. There is also a non-refundable $95 transaction fee required to book a Cruise. Sorry, I don't have anything handy about places in London.

    DVC points

    Sorry but no. The free dining offer is a part of a package which typically includes paying rack rate for the room and purchasing park tickets. You can add the dining plan when using DVC points but you have to pay for it. I hope that helps. :wave:

    Top of the World Lounge During MVMCP

    Yes, you must be staying at BLT to go up to the lounge. There is a check-in desk in the lobby of BLT where you show your room key and they escort you to the elevator which requires a key card to get to the lounge. There is a viewing area on the 4th floor of the main Contemporary building which...

    1st Visit - Overall impressions...

    We just returned from DL a few weeks ago as well. We felt very immersed and did not feel like we were in the middle of a city at all BUT we were staying at the DL hotel. We loved not having to take a bus to get to any of the parks. It was bit like staying at BC or BW but better since both...

    Pinnocchio Ride in wdw

    We were there just last week and found the same thing. On our last day we were in Fantasyland around 3:30 and Pinocchio had a 5 minute wait while every other dark ride was running a 25-45 minute wait.

    Can you change your use year?

    For Bay Lake Tower (and I presume all of DVC), Feb, Mar, Apr, Jun, Aug, Sept, Oct, Dec are the use years available. No Jan, May, July or Nov. I hope that helps. sublimesting, no your use year is when your next allotment of points is made available. In my case, every September I get another...

    Stray Cats at Disney World ??

    Yep, we saw one several years ago darting between bushes in front of COP in Tomorrowland. It went behind the big gear in front of the attraction.

    Non-home resort frequency

    We've owned since 2002 and taken 16 trips on our points. We have stayed at our home resort (VWL) once. We don't always get our first choice but we've never not been able to take a trip when we wanted due to unavailability. It's not that we don't like VWL, its just not our favorite. We added...

    Wi-Fi

    No wifi in the room but the router is a great idea. I've done that on our last 4 trips. It's worked fine.

    DTW Detroit,Mi

    There is a hotel at the airport and many more north off of I-275 in the Livonia and Novi area. I've never stayed in any of them since I'm local. Pontiac is not close to DTW. It is going to be about an hour or more drive from the airport depending on time of day and where in Pontiac you're...

    Need BLT pictures/advice/reviews

    We love BLT. Stayed there last May in a 4th floor standard view studio with a partial view of the MK and then in January in an 11th floor 1BR lake view. The studios are a bit small but the 1BR was very spacious. You will love the access to MK. It's a short walk. The ride to Epcot on the...

    Look, I know I'm a nerd...

    We stayed there just after New Years in a 1BR Lake view and loved it even though we were on the inside of the "C" (still a great view of the pool and a bit of the lake. The kids loved having their own bathroom (ok, so did we!) and the walk to MK is great. I hope the health issues don't get in...

    DVC Point Inflation?

    Good question! The total number of points at a resort cannot change. What can be altered is the allocation of those points for various room types (studio vs. 1BR), seasons (Jan vs July) or weekday vs weekend days. So if DVC increases the cost for one night, season or category, then they must...
