Was offered these cash upgrades for a mid dec stay; subsequently I declined but see I've been moved to a Beach Villa so far from a Garden Villa (award stay, platinum premier)
Overwater Villa with Pool :- USD 369.60 per night inclusive of all taxes.
Beach Villa with Pool :- USD 492.80 per night inclusive of all taxes.
Sunset Overwater Villa with Pool :- USD 492.80 per night inclusive of all taxes.
Overwater St. Regis Suite with Pool :- USD 739.20 per night inclusive of all taxes.
Who tips or doesn't tip their butler? I gave mine in bora bora $100/ day, but I'm still clueless. There's definitely not a definitive correct answer, just trying to get a pulse on the trend.

While I don't want to spend time in airports, in this case I'd rather err on the side of more time in the airport to leave more potential time before the seaplane.

I have a mid-January booking including 3 nights in a OWV at 85K! However, since I live on the East Coast, I'm concerned about the possibility of snowstorms hindering my travels. The 1-month free cancellation deadline is also approaching. Do I cancel, and remake the reservation towards the end of December, crossing my fingers that mid-January availability will still exist then? Or just keep the reservation as is and hope for the best?

I know! I'm hoping that my PP status will qualify me for an upgrade. It seems like PP FTers have reported successful upgrades from GVs to BVs, although I understand they aren't guaranteed of course, especially during high season.
