We too did the Lifestyle Preview for the second time. The first was back in 2002 and the most recent was March 7 - March 14. The accommodations (designer home) were great and the meal package was OK. I guess they did away with the funny money that we used to get. I agree that the cart was incredibly slow or all TV people have goosed theirs up. This was our seventh visit to TV. We usually rent Jan/Feb each year but decided on just the preview this year. The biggest change that I saw was the number of people every where. Carts, carts, carts everywhere and at all hours of the day and night. I do think Cane garden is by far the best place to eat now and I would pass on Palmer. The Bananas Foster (Palmer) that I heard so much about came out like rock candy and the steaks were just average at best. Might have been a bad night. We had a great time golfing and meeting a new set of people. I do think I'll stick with Jan/Feb from now on - March just seems to be too crowded. I have my patio villa already rented in Santiago for 2010 and I'm ready to come back. By the way, El Santiago restaurant was also very good but we are partial to it. We still love TV and hope everyone has a great year.
