Hello all, representing Washington State, glad to be here.
Leaving the Driz to go to the Sun! Have a great Trip!
Hello - I'm Ryan one of your moderators
+1 as well. We have always rented a car and agree, it is well worth the expense. Using DVC as a home base for other side trips is priceless. It has become a family tradition to visit GatorLand every trip. Not to mention the trips to the grocery store or to Steak-N-Shake. (We do not have Steak-N-Shake around us). Freedo
Hello all, representing Washington State, glad to be here.
@UrsulaWantsYourSoul Fancy seeing you here! I follow you on the DisBoards where we go by RickNJane. We are down the street in Covington Wa. Great to see so many DVC PNW here. Long plane ride makes for a long stay! We did moonlight magic at DLR California Adventure. Was not as good as the one at AK! Next trip is in Octo
Hello - I'm Ryan one of your moderators
Hi Ryan, We are from Seattle and have been members since 1996 with a 250 point purchase at BWV. I was at the Boardwalk for a conference and brought the wife. She did a lot of resort hopping while I was in meetings. She pulled me into a DVC presentation at the boardwalk and the rest is history. We took the family the fo
Annual Passes or No?
We do the Sorcerer pass. Very worth it for us. Besides the possible cost savings, it gives us real flexibility. We dont have to worry about park hopping or if we have enough days left on a ticket. We just go. We also pay with points. I know not the best use of points, but it works for us as we always seem to have a few
What else would you like to see with Disneyland Forward?
Expanded Monorail that actually runs. The Monorail really needs some love. It does not run most afternoons in the heat. It is ragged around the edges. Expand the loop, update the trains. Add a stop in the new addition.

If not I'm riding our BWV points into the sunset! @DVCDerek can tell you what a mess OKW was when they offered an extension. I dont think they will do that. Unfortunately.

Same! We do split stays 1 week at BLT and 1 week at BWV. Walk to all parks but AK! We sometimes change it up a bit with AKV.
DVC Ownership Approach
We started in 1996 at BWV. We bought 250 points (a real stretch for us then). This would allow us to have a 1 or 2 bedroom stay for a week. By Banking and borrowing points we could make 2 or more week stays. We had many great family trips at BWV, and OKW. We even used our points to stay at Grand Californian and Disneyl
Villas at Grand Californian Owners Thread
We first stayed at VGC in the hotel side 20 years ago and just recently became owners there. We stayed in a 1 bedroom. Great Space! Lots of room! fantastic theming. Disney just does not build resorts like this anymore, such a pity. It is truly Grand! AKV, WL, and GC had the same architect and it really shows. That was
Bay Lake Tower Owners Thread
BLT was our first Add On. We bought sight unseen. Must admit we were a little disappointed when we first walked in. It was a bit underwhelming. Our first resort was BWV and BLT was not that! HOWEVER, when we first entered our 2 bedroom villa with the grandkids and family that all changed. Great Space, 3 bathrooms, Grea
BoardWalk Villas Owners Thread
BWV was our original resort back in 1996. It has lost a lot of its past glory. Back in those days it was a destination. People would come to visit ESPN, Jellyroles, etc and not stay at the resort. I think it competed a bit with DownTown Disney OOPS Disney Springs. They had Pleasure Island back then at DS, but you neede
