    Questions about AC in the rooms of CBR

    You get what you pay for at Disney, so, if you want central air... try a Deluxe Resort. That said, I have never had issues with the A/C at Disney moderates. They do a lot better maintenance than Comfort Inn.

    Giving Tip at restaurant

    Yes, it is the norm at every restaurant at WDW (and in the U.S.), including buffets. Buffets are a little different at WDW, as you get a lot more attention from the server, and we always tip the same at WDW buffets as at other table service venues - 15% to 20% depending on service.

    Is disney parks and resorts for sale?

    All VIP visitations are secretive! Seriously! We were at AKL when Brittany Spears was there and never knew until after we left.

    POFQ or Swan/ Dolphin

    It's not really "Swan & Dolphin"... the Swan and the Dolphin are two separate hotels. Different buildings, different staff, different rates. I wouldn't stay at the Dolphin again, personally, because it's a run-down mess and hasn't been tended or renovated in a decade. But the Swan is a...

    Problems With WDW Website

    Yeah, the countdown is based on cookies and doesn't refresh until you login again and refresh the page.

    Stray Cats at Disney World ??

    There are several cats that prowl around the pool area outside of Captain Cook's at the Poly. I see at least one of them every time we stay there.

    Why no "Classy" value resorts

    There is a classy value, it's called a moderate. And there's a classy moderate, it's called a deluxe. You get what you pay for.

    Anyone wear a bug hat with netting during love bug season?

    I've never been bothered by any kind of bugs in the parks. WDW is a very well engineered, manicured, pest-controlled environment.

    Booking a trip and discounts

    They can't just "apply" a code. The resort and room type you want have to be available under the discount code. Many times the particular resort/room type may not be available, but you can always change to something that IS available. It helps to be flexible. Edited to add, I would never use...

    Tables in Wonderland Cards

    They now print them at GR, using the same card stock that they print Annual Passes and other park tickets on. They're no longer hard plastic like credit cards.

    AAA Discount

    YES you can, but it only makes sense if you purchase from a local office. If you order from AAA's website, they add a big shipping charge that cancels out the discount!

    Owning points for multiple homes

    1) Contracts that size are not so easy to find, and they tend to cost more per point than bigger contracts. 2) On the resale contracts, you're not eligible for full DVC benefits any more. 3) I think getting them titled under one account is not so easy! 4) Managing more than one contract is...

    Annual Passes

    As to question #2, sorry, you have to live in Florida to be a Florida resident. The rules Disney lays out are really strict, and owning a timeshare doesn't count.

    Which Park on Labor Day?

    Don't know about MK, but Epcot is deserted on Labor Day. We go every year for Labor Day weekend. It's not crowded like Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas.

    Is it time to allow well behave dogs in the resorts?

    I won't stay in a resort that allows dogs, ever. And I have told Disney that in surveys many times. I stayed at Royal Pacific (Universal) once where they allow animals, and got mauled at every corner by uncontrolled, unruly pets. Hated it.

    Tree House Villas ONLY available to DVC Members?

    I don't know what RonAnnArbor is talking about! I have seen them online at both regular rates and at AP discounts. And as a DVC member, I was able to secure one for Labor Day Weekend 2011, at exactly the 7-month window, with no problem. Anyone who is interested, don't give up - they ARE...

    Resort room requests

    It's not possible to call any of the WDW resorts directly! You can only get a call center. Just have Central Reservations (aka the call center!) put your request on the ressie, which is exactly what DisneyInsider stated.

    Illuminations after dinner @ Rose & Crown

    If you "draw out" a 7:00pm seating the 7:40pm folks won't even get a seat. Why malinger? The view from R&C is not even that good. Go outside and watch, you'll get a better view and won't annoy the servers for hours on end.

    DVC, Dining, and Transportation

    I can't stand it when people whine about DVC. If you don't like it don't buy it, and leave the DVC to those of us who appreciate it. The more perks Disney gives people the more they think they're entitled to... ridiculous.
