    ADRs rule the world?

    Not obnoxious, just a fact of life. Some places you can walk up, some you can not. The Mexican restaurants (San Angel and La Hacienda) at Epcot don't usually take walk-ups. I've seen plenty of folks turned away. Just be prepared for a little disappointment if you decide to wing it. The...

    Late Check Out At PC?

    Regular checkout is 11:00am, and the latest checkout they will grant is 1:00pm. But you have to ask, and the request is not always granted.

    Via Napoli for lunch...reservation reccomended or not?

    I ate lunch there in January. It was busy, it was pretty good food. The server was charming. We had ADR's and we had to wait about 15 minutes. I wouldn't bet on getting in without an ADR.

    Lost Tickets

    I photo copy the backs of our annual passes and keep that copy in my planning notebook for the trip. I think of it as "insurance".

    Pin Code a poppin'...

    I don't believe anyone got a 60% off offer. Have never heard of anything like that in 25 years. If you have been to WDW many times - like us, we go 5 or 6 times a year for short trips - you are LESS likely to get a pin, not more likely. They know you'll be going, pin or no pin.

    Yachtsman Steakhouse or Hollywood Brown Derby?

    I've eaten at both. Yachtsman is nothing special, IMO; the atmosphere is boring, the food is nothing to rave about. It's waaaay overpriced. But I adore the Brown Derby! The dishes are truly unique, well made, delicious. The atmosphere is really charming and relaxing. Last time we were...

    Boardwalk (Villas)

    Are you staying on DVC points, or cash? Did you reserve a standard view, or preferred? If you are staying on points, preferred view, you can request a Boardwalk view. Never heard of the 10 day thing, though.

    Using Points

    That info is available on the member website dvcmember.com. POR is part of what DVC calls "The Disney Collection" (non-DVC Disney destinations). It costs more points to stay in a standard room at POR than it does to get a studio at SSR. Staying at non-DVC resorts is usually not a good use of...

    Does online check-in hurt chances of upgrade?

    I think it does hurt to ask. I've been told that CM don't like folks asking for a free upgrade. And they see right through the puppy dog eyes thing.

    TIW at counter service

    But there are very few counter service places that take TIW. It's meant to be a Table Service discount. Be sure to check the list of participating locations before you make the decision.

    Borrowing points year after year.

    As a DVC owner, I would tell any potential buyer three things - be sure to buy the number of points you realistically need; buy where you want to stay; and pay cash for your DVC. Otherwise, DVC will not be a satisfying and rewarding experience. You will be setting yourself up for frustration...

    Parking at Resorts

    You can not park at the resorts in order to use disney transportation to the parks. And depending on time of year and events going on, you may be turned away from parking at the resort. If you have a dining reservation, you can usually park, but we have been turned away from Boardwalk even...
