Thanks for the info. Now all sorted and have booked up for next October. As we are going for 16 nights I had to do three separate online reservations and it was pretty simple with all names pre-populated after the first reservation. I called DVC shortly after to get them to link them all and it was very easy! Our plan when we bought into DVC was to go every 2 to 3 years during the October holidays - whilst the kids are still at school anyway - and this has worked out pretty well although we used our points in 2011 for
DCL to Alaska - which was great. Probably not the best use of points but as we were going to Canada anyway it fitted in well!
Can't wait to get back to Florida though as we haven't been since 2009! Although there are only 4 of us we find the 2 bed at AKL perfect. So that's what we're going to again. Think we will buy the annual passes this time given the current offer. Can't believe how much flight costs have increased though! October is very popular with us Scots and don't understand why there aren't more airlines jumping to offer flights from Scotland. Instead of BA whom we normally use we are going with United from Edinburgh. Never having used them before I don't know how good/bad they are?
Anyway we are so pleased to have our 2013 holiday arranged. It helps to get you through these dark winter nights!
