    Parking at a resort just for dinner

    Nope ! All you need to do is when you get to the toll booths at MK tell them that you're just going for dinner or shopping whatever and they'll wave you through. (after a certain time of day the booths don't even have attendants in them). When you get to the guard shack at the poly or...

    The Sheraton Vistana Resort Thread (key links on p.1)

    Hey Gina and Bankr63 - we just came back from our week long stay @ SVR. First off I want to say that I read this thread thoroughly and can't thank you guys enough for answering questions and being so detailed. All the info you've provided is pretty much 100% accurate. My wife, boys and myself...

    For all of you worried that Happily Ever After won't be a good replacement for Wishes

    Just my point of view but when you have a classic like Wishes anything you do after that is never quite the same. Yes the fireworks were awesome but the theme for us seemed to be lacking. Wishes meant something. Jiminy Cricket had a message that made sense. Underwhelmed to say the least.

    Any chance Southwest prices will come down for May?

    Hi everyone, hope you can answer this for me. We booked our flights for May when they were first released . We also bought the EBCI at the same time. I just checked the flights and they've dropped dramatically ! My question is if I rebook would we still get the same spot we would have had...

    May 2017 Car Rental Thread

    I have been looking since December of last year for our upcoming trip in May. Last year we got a mid size from Dollar for $112.00 taxes going in the month of May ...... does anyone know what is going on with the prices right now ?? At last check, for the week of May 12-19 Dollar has a compact...

    The Sheraton Vistana Resort Thread (key links on p.1)

    I think the difference is that we're not "trading weeks" or "buying points". We use RCI merely as a tool to find rooms that are being rented through RCI and we're paying cash. We're also paying a $95.00 "Guest Certificate" charge since the rooms we rent are not owned by my uncle. RCI is well...

    The Sheraton Vistana Resort Thread (key links on p.1)

    Hi Guys, first off, let me say to bankr63 I have pretty much read all 68 pages and the info you have provided has been a tremendous help. You're a big reason why we're booked for SVR in May. But the reason for my post is I'm a little confused. Are you saying that if we book at this resort or...

    Sheraton Vistana Resort

    I've attached a link ...hopefully it works. Bankr63 created an entire page about Sheraton Vistana. Both he and Gina Gina Bo Bina are a wealth of information. I think it will answer everything you want to know...

    Road trip hotel recommendations?

    We've stopped in Marietta GA, not sure how far away that is from where you're looking to stop. We always stay at a Hampton Inn. Nice clean rooms reasonable rates and a hot breakfast lunch is included !

    Need advice about staying off property

    First off .... We have never stayed on property and this coming May will be our 14th trip to Florida/Disney so I can only tell you what we have experienced from the off property side. Staying in condos allows for a lot of freedoms that you may like. Large rooms gives everyone some room to...

    No Music for Wishes Fireworks ???

    Hey Everyone ! We just got back from a 10 day trip. We didn't do any of the Parks this year just a lot of lounging by the pools at Bonnet Creek. However, a highlight for us has always been to see the Wishes fireworks at MK. We've watched them at the Poly, CR, and the Grand Floridian in...

    What can I expect checking in after...

    We've checked in later in the day - not quite midnight though. You will defintely have less people to wait in line with. But it still might take you just as long because they do not have a full compliment of staff working that late. There are no "sales" staff at that hour either so you're safe...

    Bonnet creek???

    Bonnet Creek is the timeshare ...don't think they'll rent out units for just one night - but I might be wrong on that. Hilton Bonnet Creek is an actual hotel.

    Give me your favorite places to eat near Bonnet Creek

    Agree with 4Kids4Karen......Carrabbas is one of our favourites and it's pretty close to BC. We also like Long Horn's Steakhouse but I can't remember how far away that one is. There's also plenty of restaurants in DTD, although some of them are a little pricier compared to TGIF, Appleby's etc....

    Need quite a bit of help!

    Yes Bonnet Creek is the same idea as the others mentioned. The only difference being is that you actually are inside of Disney property. We've been there the last 4 years and our boys love it ! Lots of space for everyone to unwind, 7 pools (I think) and you're still close enough to Disney...

    R there any Free breakfast with any of the budget or semi

    You could try the Hampton Inn on Palm Parkway. Very close to WDW, great hot breakfast and it was under $100.00 for the room.

    Bonnet Creek timeshare presentation - is it worth going?

    I'm a little confused .....everytime we've gone to BC - 4 times and counting ....we've had a car and they send us over to get our Parking Pass.....that's when they tell us about the "welcome breakfast" "owner update" or any other made up reason to get us to go. We politely tell them tno thank...
