I was going to WDW every couple or few years as a teenager in the mid 70’s young adult in the early 80’s, married couple in the late 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s. I had a very vague knowledge of DVC, but assumed it was not for me. While on a DCL cruise with friends, they confessed that they were pretty sure they were g
When I bought direct in 2002, the minimum you could buy direct was 150. After many many hours of studying the points charts for BCV, I decided 0n 200 points. I have often wished I had bought 230, which would be about one extra night in a one bedroom when I like to travel. But I have learned to love my 200 points. They
Unless I am mistaken, you get free theme park parking if you are staying at an onsite resort (including DVC resorts). Annual pass holders get free theme park parking as well. I do not think you get free parking at the theme parks if you are a DVC member staying offsite and are not an annual pass holder.
Changing classic rides is always problematic. But going into Country Bears now and seeing kids engaged, laughing and singing along, in a show that was near closing, shows what a reimagining can do. It can keep a classic show from closing completely. I have been going to WDW since the mid 70’s. Will I miss the old CoP?
If I have to pick a favorite...it will be boats. So casual and relaxing. But since you do not always have a choice or many choices when trying to get from point A to point B, I am super happy that WDW does offer transportation. Disney transportation is truly one of my favorite things about staying in the Disney Bubble.
Hoop Dee Doo is so much fun. The food and drink are fun...the entertainment is incredible! Made me laugh and smile till my face hurt!
Figment...well, not just Figment. The Imagination Pavilion. Of all things at Walt Disney World to be subpar. Imagination. Disney and Imagination go hand in hand. The Imagination Pavilion should have a premier E-Ticket attraction, or two! Even looking back at its history...the original ride and the different original 3D
I still wear mine. I can understand people not wearing them, especially if you have an apple watch. I do not have the apple watch, and the Magic Band is so easy to use as door key, park tap in, fast pass tap in, photo pass tap in. Magic Band is still magical for me.
I love the Muppet theme and feel like it is a great fit for Hollywood Studios...dare I say, a better fit than Aerosmith.
Awesome breakdown of BCV amenities! And as a fellow owner, I love the smell of BCV in the morning. 😀
I ate at Chef Mickey's a few months back (after not eating there for like 20 years) and was ready for a not great food experience...It is not signature dining or fine dining, but I found it to be really tasty and went back for a few items because they were so good.
I have February use year...because that is what they offered, and I did not know better. I usually travel in Dec., Jan. or Feb., So February is not a good use year for me...but in 24 years of owning DVC, it has never been a problem.
I went to Hoop Dee Doo Revue a few months back. Sitting on the benches across from the ticketing area of Hoop Dee Doo, and seeing the construction of the tower hovering over the building is a vibe killer. I hope they can do something about that view...maybe plant some giant redwood trees. LOL
I was under the impression that not all months are used for use years. I think there are only eight.
Not day one for sure, my first visit was in 1976. My only theme park experience had been Six Flags. I was 14 and I loved WDW...so many favorite attractions from back then...Haunted Mansion, Pirates, 20,000 Leagues, Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, Carousel of Progress. Most of them are still around, and I try to ride the
I love Skipper Canteen! It is wonderful to have a restaurant with the atmosphere and quality of that in a theme park. I also love Tiffins at Animal Kingdom. Have had amazing dining experiences at both!
I drive, it is about 8 hours. My room is always ready when i arrive. I usually make dinner plans somewhere on property with local friends. I end the night with an adult beverage, and early to bed to be ready for early entry. My home resort is BCV, so sometimes (when using an annual pass and staying at BCV ) I can take
I have a December reservation at BCV. This is the text of the 4/9/26 email i got about BCV construction. It seems like most WDW stays involve some construction these days. I see that as a good thing. Email text below... “April 2026 Welcome home! We are delighted you have chosen to stay at Disney's Beach Club Villas! In
