It is an advantage IF you are going to use it the day of purchase, otherwise you do lose time. I use will call, pick it up at Epcot's International entrance and it takes no more than 5 minutes. I don't need a pass to check into DVC, and I have never been asked for one when I have checked in at...

The DVC resorts (except SS) expire in 2042. SS in 2052. 2042 has been the end date since I joined in 92. Nothing, except SS, has changed. I look at it as prepaid vacations in a beautiful setting until 2042. It is not for everyone.

No, the insurance is taken care of via your membership fees. And, it is not a co op it is a timeshare, there is a difference in some places. I don't believe the owners at Vero had any special assessment for the damage done during last year's hurricanes.

I don't care in your case, but, if it were me, I would care a lot. I never pay more than I have to for anything, ever. I am sure you can figure out what the tax was if you look at the receipt and do the math.

Some stores sell them others don't. Best to call and ask. There is no advantage to prepurchasing an AP. It costs the same wherever you buy it.

The sales tax is a confusing issue. The sales and use tax in FL is 6% different counties can add up to 1% (or more) on top of that. Resort tax is usually about 11 to 12%, restaurants charge the sales tax. The reason you pay the going FL. rate in any state you purchase the passes is because...

Good points Aurora, and thank you for the compliment. :)

The sales tax on the tickets is 6.5%, not 8 or 12. Resort rooms in some locations charge the 12% tax. If you payed 8% sales tax you got scre*ed. Read the top line of this link. http://allearsnet.com/pl/ticketchart.htm

The AP is an entirely different animal. They do receive an early purchase discount for other passes and the medium is immediately valid.

The Disney Collection refers to hotels/resorts that are not DVC resorts. IE: you can use your points to rent at the Poly. Jim Hill is correct, there is no DVC resort at Disneyland. Banked points can be rented in the year they are to expire. IE: Bank points from this use year (2005) and...

Actually, watching the guests during a rain storm is one of the better attractions. In reality, it is a major hoot. :)

I have been using my AK poncho for better than 4 years now. I use it, hang it to dry, fold it well and it simply lasts. The .99 ones are generally a toss away after one use, I would rather use a trash bag, it would be less expensive.

Emerald Reserve is for the class you rented, it allows you to bypass the counter (except if you are using a upgrade coupon). Emerald Aisle is a crap shoot. You will get at least and intermediate, but, could get something better. When are you going? I will tell you to keep checking the...

There are now two parts to the Emerald Aisle. One is for a higher level than the normal EA. It is not well defined, but, you should have been able to show your reservation document that states that you can select any car from the aisle. Sometimes these attendants have no clue, especially IF...

On the intermediate/EA: Galants, Grand Ams, Aleros and Classics (rental Malibus). Full size: Impalas, Centuries, Regals, Monte Carlos (aka Standard) and Intrepids. What code are you using? Try the 6600330 contract code (Priceless vacations and anyone can use it). I have a car for 7 days and...

I have stayed at Candlewood Suites here in CT and they are wonderful!!!

I would not ever bank on a weather forecast. They change minute to minute. Usually the rain is a brief shower or Thunderstorm. I will be there the 8th-15th and Accuweather is calling for humid, sun and showers, not a lot of rain. Grab a poncho and have...

If you rent a full size you can still bypass the counter, you select Emerald Reserve, except if you are using an upgrade coupon. I just rented a full size and the cost was a little less than 4.00 more than an Intermediate from the EA. You are, btw, an Emerald Club member, the Emerald Aisle is...

The comment about CMs picking up the extra dog pooh is one of the many reasons you will never see animals allowed at Disney resort. Here are other reasons: 1. dog bites 2. cat bites - this is a sue happy society, imagine Disney allowing pets and someone gets bitten. Hmmmm, I smell lawsuit. 3...

Yes you may.
