We loved Mike on SWS! Glad to hear he is still with Disney.

As an aside, everytime I see the heading of this thread, my brain somehow scrambles the letters and I read it as "Breaking Bad NEWS"... I'm glad each time I realize I'm wrong and it isn't bad news!

Question for DisneyKevin - I'm a DVC member. If I use points for one person on an Adventures by Disney trip and pay for the other person would there be any discounts or advantages to doing the second person through Dreams unlimited and is it possible to do it this way?

Unfortunately, travel agents are unable to book anything using DVC points. That must be done through DVC Member Services.

We would be able to book the person paying in cash, but then each person would be booked as a single and wind up paying the single supplement....and that makes no sense.

In order to get the best pricing, you would need to book everything through DVC member services.

Hi DisneyKevin,

For our family of four, would it be possible to book two thru dvc and book the other 2 thru dreamsunlimited? Would there be any trouble linking the points and cash reservation together? Thanks.

I'm really interested in the Greece trip. Looking into doing my first ABD in 2012 and trying to decide between Greece and Italy.

That scenario works fine, where booking the party of two didnt work for the reason I explained.

If you have any questions....please feel free to email me at Kevin@DreamsUnlimitedTravel.com.

Thanks!

Hi Kevin--

Thanks so much for posting this info! Will the new Australia itinerary replace the current one, or will there now be two choices?

Thanks!
