Laundry detergent for studios?

Besides saving you from purchasing something onsite, sometimes it's helpful to bring your own detergent just in case the vending machines are not stocked. I've seen a few dispensers out of detergent before. I like to bring laundry detergent sheets--compact and no chance of spills!

DVC “slush fund”?

For points that you just want to use at other resorts, I'd take a look at DVC Resale Market's best economical resorts to purchase blog.

Polynesian Villas Owners Thread

I don't own points at the Poly, but it's one of the non-home resorts I've stayed at the most (and frankly where I would add on if I had to do so now).
