    Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

    I have 12 WDW Platinum AP vouchers that I expect we will not use. They don't expire until 2099 (effectively non-expiring). Our feelings toward attending WDW have changed toward the negative and I don't plan on using them. I know they can be reassigned within the family but I'm expecting that...

    Direct Add-On Latency Experience

    I can see now that my expectations were out of line and that I should get a call early September indicating points are available. I am thinking that there may be an average optimal time to add on at some point ahead of your use year and it's not one month ahead of it. Thanks everyone!

    Direct Add-On Latency Experience

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I don't fully understand the details, limitations, strategies associated with use year changes that Disney now has. I was thinking that any use year could be converted to any other but maybe for financial prudence use years are always converted to "future" use...

    Direct Add-On Latency Experience

    I am on a wait-list (since 7/29) for a 25 point add-on at OKW, Sept use year. It is surprising to me that these points have yet to become available. With DVC resalers reporting increased ROFR exercise by Disney and the new ability Disney has to change use year, I would have thought the points...

    ATTQOTD: Origins of a Disney fan. In August 1974, a friend took me to Melbourne to play golf with his family. One day, the family went to MK. I was not happy as I saw it as a lost golfing day. Two things stand out from that day and changed my attitude - A band rose out of the floor where Sonny...

    A little late in this response. Below is a short summary from last years race. I may attend this year - still trying to figure out the 2019 race schedule. @Keels was looking into this race as well. There was also Bourbon and I believe a local beer on the course but I'm not a alcohol drinker so...

    I ran it this spring. Very scenic course. Lots of Kentucky-things to do-horses, bourbon and such. It is a little hilly. I really enjoyed it.

    A Tale of Two Races – A Dickens of an Experience (sorry about the length) It was the worst of times. It was the best of times. It was the season of sweat. It was the season of comfort. It was the summer of walk. It was the winter of run. Marathon 1 (first marathon ever, 61 years old...
