Ok late to this Party! We usually take 15 day or so trips to WDW in the winter when it is particularly gloomy here in the PNW. We also take 10 day trips to DLR to find the sun as well. We tend to go to WDW before Christmas and DLR after. We did spend the whole month of December at OKW back in the early 2000's. That was
You have never been to Pixar Place in DLR. Those elevators are the very definition of bad. The last time we visited they had CMs directing guests and even taking groups of guests to the staff elevators. Perhaps that is fixed now, but it was very very bad. We have never had an issue with the elevators at BLT, knock wood
Have a great Trip. We love VGC! The line into the DCA at rope drop can be a bit daunting, but it seems to move pretty well. The room layouts are fantastic and having a third bathroom can be a life saver. Lobby is fantastic, but can be a bit crowded and loud. We are taking our Grandkids next April for their fist trip to
I grew up in Texas and thought I could take the heat. I was wrong! We have been in Seattle now for close to 40 years. I guess we just became heat wimps as an 85 degree day is a hot day here!
@DVCKen Not reckless, we also bought sight unseen. we had stayed at the Disneyland Hotel a couple of times back in the early 1990's when the kids were small. Really great memories, so we thought, This is Perfect and jumped. A couple of things I wish I knew before pulling the trigger. First the walk back through Downtow
BWV was our first resort way back in 1996! Sure hope you love it as much as we do. Great theme, easy walk to 2 parks. What is not to love? I should also add WELCOME HOME!!
We went to the Epcot Flower and Garden last May. We also stayed at the Boardwalk. Very surprised at how hot May could be. The Boardwalk was baking! Even the locals were complaining! Thunderstorms did not help the humidity. We really enjoyed it and really want to do Flower and Garden again, just a bit earlier, say April
Precisely! We bought 250 points back in 1996. 2042 was so far in the future as to be nearly invisible! Now it is coming up like a wet kiss on a fast fist! We also started adding on to ensure we can keep our DVC fix. Little did we know that Adding On becomes a bit addictive! By the time 2042 rolls around, we will be in
Really dont think this is an unpopular opinion, except of course with DVD Management!
I agree. We have never bought one and never will. The only time we used one is the "free" one they give you instead of early entry at DLR. Dont get me started on how much a rip off that is. Our trips are long enough that we get multiple park days in each park. If the line is too long at one ride, we just move along.
We cannot take the heat, so florida and most of the south is out. The climate here in seattle is about perfect for us. We tend to take our trips during the "gloomy" winter days when the weather down south is more hospitable.
We bought our BWV contract back in 1996! 2042 seemed like a whole world away. We will be in our mid 80's when it expires. We love BWV. Your first is always special! We plan on holding on until the end. Our kids loved it (still do) and now our grandkids love it. Have no idea what Disney will do. If an extension is offer
Well we are there! We have enough points for extended stays. We now take 2 trips a year. One to WDW and one to DLR. We have always stayed in a 1 bedroom, but in the old days had to bank and borrow to make it happen every other year . After we added on, we can just book annually. We take our grown kids and grandkids, bu
We have never used our points "perfectly". We usually bank what we have left. Some years we borrow. We also use points to get the Sorcerer's pass.
Thanks! Dont really have a desire to stay in a Poly Bungalow, Maybe a TreeHouse at SSR. We did stay for a week in a 3 bedroom grand villa at Jambo House. That will be very hard to beat! 3 balconies and a Pool Table!
1008 points over 5 resorts and 7 contracts. 250 BWV 250 BLT 150 AKV 150 VDH 208 VGC over 3 contracts May add on a few more AKV and VGC.
Renew AP is the biggest. The rest is just gravy!
Just a little update. We got our MNSSHP tickets for our October trip. Final Reservations made for our Split stay with grandkids at DLR next April. 5 nights VDH and 6 Nights VGC. Now the hard part. Waiting to Leave!!
