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.

BRRRinng BRRRing, the eighties called, they want their faxed request back. Just have your request noted in the computer on your reservation.

Some resorts have DVD players. Not VCRs.

You can't book a DVC BWV Boardwalk View with cash, those rooms are only available to DVC members using points.

No,no,no! CMs at the desk and concierge can't accept tips.

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.

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

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

YES. Very close.
