@Ryan C Gotta agree with your VDH assessment. Our first stay over looked the loading dock for the convention center. Heard truck backup warnings starting at around 5:30 AM. Not a good wake up call. We were just there for our second stay. Rooms are really shabby around the edges. Closet Doors are hard to open or won't s
October 2026. BWV and BLT. Split Stay April 2027. VGC and VDH. Split Stay. First DLR trip for the grandkids!!
Ok Here's mine! We have stayed at the following. 1) BWV. Hard not to love your first! 2) BLT. Location Location Location 3) AKV. Could move this up a notch. Hard choice 4) VGC. #1 for DLR DVC 5) OKW Great condo vibe. always our #1 fall back 6) VDH. Would rather stay at VGC 7) BCV lobby is too chaotic and loud. Would ra
If you get coffee filters, you should get coffee as well. They provide coffee in filter packs, but those only make 8 cups not 12. The coffee maker is a 12 cup maker, Go Figure. I used 2 filter packs to make a whole 12 cup pot. Worked pretty well. I can't remember if the coffee makers also use Keurig pods as well. You c
It was one reason, but not the only reason! :)
Gotta Second Jazz Kitchen! We usually only do QS, but Jazz Kitchen is a must do for us. River Belle Terrace used to have a great brunch! But alas, the Powers To Be killed it. So we really dont have an in park favorite anymore.
Same here, we use our Airline rewards card. Living in the PNW makes for a long and expensive plane ride. Putting DVC on the card really make the miles stack up! They also split the payments so that you dont have to max out your card in one big charge. This is one reason we have always gone direct instead of resale. At
Welcome Home! just gotta add, We always rent a car and hit the grocery store on the way to WDW. Usually pickup breakfast stuff, condiments, bottled water, snacks, etc. Sandwich fixens are also great as is hot dogs, pot pies, frozen pizza and the like. Having the option of coming to the room for a snack and a snooze bef
Yup they really need to breath new life in the DVC end of the boardwalk.
The Disneyland Hotel has a lot of nostalgia for us. Our first trip to Disneyland back in the late 1980s we stayed there. DH became our place to stay. for our annual pilgrimage. We made our first WDW trip in 1996 and bought into DVC and WDW became our destination. So when VDH was first offered, we jumped on it. Did not
We initially bought at BWV and since added on at AKV, BLT and on my side of the world, VDH and VCG total points now stand a little north of 1K. Dues are my limiting factor. We won't be adding on to our point totals but may shuffle a bit. We would like more AKV and VGC. (who wouldn't?). So we are faced with some hard ch
Before we retired it was one trip a year. Now we have a lot more flexibility. We usually do 2 weeks at WDW and 5 to 7 at DLR. The ToT at VDH is a real killer for longer stays. We also pick the events such as this year in October with Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party and last year for Flower and Garden.. May was muc
I really hope so. As others have stated, the DVC side of the Boardwalk is dead dead dead and has been for quite sometime. However Disney is pretty stingy with news and plans. Sad really.
We thought the same thing as well. Long expensive plane ride! That's why we bought enough points for 2 week stays in a 1 bedroom. That way we do not feel rushed and it feels more like a vacation home. Having a kitchen and laundry really helps as well. Dont have to pack as much and you can save a ton by eating in the ro
Hmm I will be 86 when zero day happens. We have owned BWV since 1996. You can ask @DVCDerek what happened when DVD offered extensions at OKW. It was a nightmare for the guides. I would love to see a complete refurb and then re offering the points. However if current trends continue, they will bulldoze it and put in an
Limited only by your Dues!
So Everet not Anaheim, I misunderstood. Sounds like fun. I may have to check it out. Thanks!
