Effective 10/16, due to an increase in Orange County, taxes on room reservations for 2003 will go up to 11.5%, with the exception of the All Star Resorts, which will remain at 12%. Any bookings made prior to 10/16 will remain at 11% unless changes are made to the reservation. Karen

Be sure to try the Grand Floridian Cafe for breakfast. They have the best eggs benedict! Karen

Yes, besides making your room requests when you book I would also suggest calling (407-939-5000) or faxing (407-939-7333) the resort 3 - 5 days prior to your arrival. If the rooms are booked separately ask for them to be cross referenced. You can also request connecting or adjoining rooms...

The pass can only be activated at one of the parks. If you want to use it the first night for for check in at your resort for an AP rate, you only need to show the voucher. Karen

The current WDW resort discount codes available to book from 10/3 - 12/25/02 will be ending tomorrow, 9/23. Last chance if you are planning a trip within these dates! Karen

Disney will do their best to accomodate your room requests. However, if it is requested for medical reasons, such as asthma, you can get the non-smoking room guaranteed. Karen

I booked the package for a client for 11/23 at Hollywood & Vine. Her dining reservation is for 4:30 and Fantasmic is at 6:00 PM. The price for a family of 2 adults and 2 children was $72.04. I hope this helps! Karen

I don't know a particular room number to request . You can ask for smoking or non-smoking, 2 queen beds, 1 king bed, or a queen and a set of bunk beds, a location close to an elevator, upper or lower floor, close to lobby, quiet room, corner room etc. It just depends on what your preferences...

You can call (407-824-3200) OR FAX (407-824-3232) the Wilderness Lodge with your requests. This is usually done 3 - 5 days prior so I would do it today. Karen

You have chosen a really fun resort to stay in. The All Stars are wonderfully themed, have great bus transportation and the best food courts. You may want to consider purchasing a refillable mug, as it can really save on drinks. Not sure if you are booked yet or not, but the only discounts...

It is usually not difficult to get an AP rate for a given season as long as they are offered and if the resort and room category you want to book are included in the discount. If you are purchasing the AP just for the room discount, I would wait and see if it becomes available before actually...

There are buses that run as early as 7:15 for guests attending early character breakfasts. You will need to check with guest services at your resort. They can best tell you where and when the bus would be running. Karen

The first seating at Princess Storybook Breakfast is at 8:30 AM. You can use WDW transportation to get there. Keep in mind admission to Epcot is required. Karen

Hi! I'm new here and been to WDW 10 times. I wondered what everyone's favorite resort at WDW is. I have seen all of the resorts inside and out, but my favorite is the Polynesian. My family just stayed there in July and I fell in love with it. The rooms are huge. I enjoyed lounging at the...
