I guess the big deal is the savings on the dreaded 12.5% "resort" tax. I've read that some travel agents can offer a discount of 45% on regular rooms. If Beach Club Villas are renting for this much: Feb 16–28 Sun-Thu = 18 points *$12 rental rate = 216 Fri-Sat = 22 points =...

I meant the part of the line before the line becomes part of the experience. Okay, thanks for the heads up. I thought there was a part of the line that was static and just a holding area.

I plan on paying for one night at Royal Pacific Resort to get the 1 hour entry. Say we get to ride once with little to no wait thanks to our early entry, then maybe a not too bad line up for a second time; can I then wait on line for however nightmarish amount of time while the other parent...

It sounds like creating concierge level allowed Disney to charge more for prime located rooms (main building) in their gigantic resorts and that the cut up honeydew and CM as desk jockey/waiter is just camouflage.

no free airport shuttle like Magical Express I will have to pay $40 to get from MCO to Universal if I stay at Universal before starting my WDW holiday.

Why isn't it food poisoning if it lasts 3 days? Is it just poison then? I vomited for three days after eating packets of 25 cent Japanese ramen. I didn't do anything but vomit. It was my first time eating instant noodles and I didn't have anymore until a decade later.

Do the animals ever race around in packs like on the animal shows from the 70s? I've only found pix of the animals standing still and eating. Do they ever get to run around? I was anti-Seaworld long before watching the Japanese stab dolphins in The Cove because I hated that the sea creatures...

The weather and the bug situations are such a deterrent to owning in that location. I would love to be more comfortable in my accommodations at WDW but if I had that kind of money, I'd need deep basement levels dug to house independent generators and water supplies. What if a storm knocked out...

Found it: Marketplace in the Beach Club der, I just read about it yesterday!:hammer:

I am considering doing Epcot for the last day after checking out and don't want to eat at Sunshine Seasons and school bread won't be sold before 11 am so .... I know I'll be sick of the typical breakfast by then and would just like a banana and milk in the morning but there doesn't seem to...

While planning OOP expenses for breakfast, I discovered the concierge rooms and the lounge where the breakfast items are basically what I would have for breakfast for $8 anyway. I am planning to have two rest days in a 9-10 day trip. Is it like a locust swarm at the concierge lounge? It may...

humidity For some reason the humidity in Chinese cities makes it far more uncomfortable than a hotter day in NYC.

Would you cuddle with dolphins at Epcot? I already decided against Richard Petty, the surfing lessons at Typhoon Lagoon and the dolphins at Epcot and Seaworld before I thought about whether my decisions were merely money motivated. I think there are some things that are just overpriced...

I have figured that adults can each eat for about $16 a meal and two little kids can share an entree (with refillable mug drinks from Gasparilla) at $8 each. Is the quality at Grand Floridian Cafe sufficient to make it the "home" restaurant when we are exhausted or brain too tired to think...

What just isn't worth the time and effort for you at Disney if you were Midas? Would you turn down Grand Floridian for your longtime favorite? Would you turn down Victoria and Albert? If I were rich, I would still pass on Victoria and Albert because I don't think one meal should cost...

I have never seen a park photo with anyone wearing a netted bug hat. Would that be too weird to do? In addition to love bugs, I worry about the biting "yellow flies.":eek:

I think I would like to visit Narcoossee's more than once. Since I am not doing the dining plan (they cut out the appetizer from table service anyway), I am worried that the servers may frown upon OOP diners (I read that in a trip report because the bill is usually smaller hence the tip is...

If I lived in LA, I would visit the original at least once a week traffic permitting especially after sunset just to hang out. I'd rather hang out at Disney than go to some bar. The same can't be said for the tiny HK Disney. What about Paris? I have never been but I am wondering. Thanks.

There is a train from London's St. Pancras (not pancreas) to Paris Disney. There is also a pricier TGV to DLP from Paris and a longer RER train from DLP to Paris. I have the Unofficial Guide to DLP which I don't like but the British guide to DLP may be good for you as the Brits enjoy better...

I think it is worth it if you have interested kids to take over more than two decades preferably 3.5-4 decades with the last decade a sort of "endurance" of having to use up points that may be unrentable or unsellable. There is no point in factoring renting or reselling in the value analysis.
