    I love New York (& Disney), DVC owners group!

    Same for us. We are in Queens and fly Delta from LGA or JFK, but we decide mostly based on price, and then by schedule.

    50s Prime Time fried chicken

    It is a popular choice in my family. I like it but it can sometimes be a little too salty.

    Split stay at same resort?

    If you rented the points, the person you rented from will have to call member services to combine the reservations into one. I should not have called it "linking" the reservations because it is actually combining all of the reservations into one continuous reservation. I do not know if the front...

    Split stay at same resort?

    I can give you my experience with HHI from last summer. We had pieced together a week stay in a 2br villa over 3 different reservations. I called to link them, but then found another day after I had linked the others. It was close to our stay and I did not have time to wait on the phone so I...

    Question regarding HHI resort

    Unfortunately, currently the resort is only allowing guests on property. There is a sign stating this across the bridge next to the entry gate. I was there two weeks ago and the sign is still there. There is no way of knowing whether that will change this summer.

    Best Romantic Restaurant

    The best romantic restaurant is Victoria & Albert's at the GF, but it is currently closed. There is no restaurant at WDW that can come close to V & A for quality and atmosphere. We have had our best meals at WDW at V & A's.

    Hilton Head Island - Tips for getting in for spring?

    Summer is very difficult to get if you are not an owner with 11 month priority. Spring is not as difficult, but spring break weeks are always going to be more difficult than non-holiday type weeks. Additionally, and something very important with HHI, there are very few studio and 1 bedroom...

    Unfortunately it's time to sell

    I just closed on 2 sales in the last month with The Timeshare Store www.dvcstore.com, and was very happy with the process. I accepted offers within 1 day of listing each Contract and was very happy with the sales price I received on both Contracts.

    160 AKV contracts

    160 was definitely the minimum buy in for a few years. We bought SSR direct in 2007 (we were choosing between AKV & SSR). They would not allow the initial 160 to be broken into smaller Contracts. I know this because we tried. Our initial purchase was 225 points. We broke it into 2 Contracts, 160...

    Deciding if doing 3/4/5 split stays or not?

    We have done it and it's been fine for us. We enjoy changing resorts for a completely different feel to our vacation. We try to plan well for a day without a room. We have done a water park or just spent the day in one of the parks. We tend to rent cars, so we usually officially check out of the...

    Carbon's Waffle Mix

    I have ordered it online through both Amazon and Williams Sonoma. When it is on sale, it has been cheaper from Williams Sonoma.

    Les Halles

    They will definitely put items in boxes or bags for you. We often buy pastries or baguettes to eat later. Enjoy!

    Date Night

    No one will be asking for ID when you check in for the reservation. As long as you give them a name on the reservation, or the reservation number, when you check in, you will have no issues.

    Grand Floridian Cafe Review

    We enjoy GFC, especially for breakfast, but would not go out of our way to dine there if we are not staying at the GF. The service is really hit or miss and we have had many meals where the service is very slow.

    If you could only pick one restaurant in WDW what would it be?

    Victoria & Albert's is hands down the best restaurant in WDW! Every meal I have ever had there was not only visually pleasing, but absolutely delicious, and the service is impeccable. It is also the most romantic restaurant on property.

    Yak and Yeti?

    In my experience, I have been able to substitute the starch item on my entrees, specifically from mashed potatoes to rice. I see no reason they would not do the opposite. They have always been very accommodating.

    Base Ticket Upgrade

    I remember way back that there was an advantage to using your ticket first before upgrading it. Is this no longer true? Would the cost of upgrading a ticket now be the same whether you have started using the ticket or have not used it at all?
