I've been putting this off, for a few reasons. First, I didn't have the DVC points yet. Second, I wasn't sure about the exact dates. There was talk of adding a day. Third, I wasn't sure I wanted to commit without an "official" notice.
Well, I don't want to keep waiting. I may loose the dates I want. We bought our points at the new Beach Club Villas, so I can book there right now. This way I'll still be in the heart of DIS-CON territory! :D
So, I'm making my call tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll hear something soon. :)

Way to go Barb!!!

Did you know that I made my reservations at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort almost two months ago for 17 days?

I can't wait..lol.

Hey Barb, I thought your points were at VWL ...did you add on some at BCV???


I am waiting for the first of may so I can try and switch my BWV ressies to the BCV's.


If not i am just across the water from you :)

Go Barb!

My theory is that no matter what I am having DISCON II! If Pete does not have an "official" announcement soon, we can just change the name to RAYCON and PATCON and have them build us a plan!!!

LOL Carol! I like the way you think. :D
Yes, Pat, we just did an add on at BCV. When I was calling for our summer trip, I found out the points were already in the system, so I can call anytime now. It only gets me about half of the days I want at BCV, but it's a start. I'll call in May to use my VWL points.

I'm booked at OKW but will call in May to see if I can get BCV or BWV.:)

I haven't decided whether to use DVC points and try to get into BCV, or to just book a room for cash. I feel badly using the family's DVC points for a solo trip for me. I guess that it's no different than spending the family's money, but it just doesn't feel quite right. I still have some time to stew over this as my points are all at OKW so I have to wait for the 7 month window. Perhaps the decision will be made for me.

GoGoBarb! :bounce:

:D LOL Carol. :D That's the right attitude! :)

It's too bad we don't have any 'official' announcement yet. :( I know a lot of people need to ask for the time off from work and whatnot. I sure hope the dates are set in stone since so many other people have accepted 'the gamble' and made their plans. I know that ressies can be cancelled and/or changed, but the hearts of DIS'ers and their family members will be hard to mend if the official announcement turns out to be NO DIS-Con II. :(

Come On Pete~~~Throw Us A Bone! ;) :) :D :p

LOL Ray - Your moving in for the winter arent you!! Im only jealous really.

But we do NEED some info about it now, like luvdsny said, we need to get time off work ect. I already have my flight booked which cant be changed as it was via priceline, i know it was my choice to book it, but as we havent heard anything about discon for a while now im starting to get a little nervous. At least i will have RAYCON if everything else falls through:D

How about a poll to see if people will still come if there is not an official DIS CON II?

I would be there!!!!

Who else?

Ok, right now I am booked at the Beach Club Villas for Dec. 2-8, using my Beach Club points. I will start calling in May for Dec. 1 and Dec. 8-12, using my Wilderness Lodge points. Whew! This does get complicated. I thought it would be best to book my actual DIS-CON dates first and figure out the rest later. (even DH agreed with me on that) I'm not sure I will stay until Dec. 12, though. I still have time to think about that. :D

I decided after the last DIS-Con that I would take one (count 'em!) vacation this year. OK, maybe 2 or 3. :D I will be arriving at WDW the day after Thanksgiving, and leaving December 10th. I guess I could be persuaded to stay longer, however....

Meeeee 2!

But then you'd probably be abducted by some strange transient and want to stay all month....

I'm throwing the idea of staying from December 1st through the 12th out to my DW. If she doesn't flinch (and if I can get a studio at BCV at the 7 month window), I'll be there for a bit longer that I was able to stay for DIScon 2001. Keep your fingers crossed.

Barb

Good luck, John. :D :D
I think the 12th is the longest I can stay without getting into hot water here. It's a long time to leave the hubby, although it's the busy season and he's hardly home much anyhow. :) :)

If this does turn out to be Non-Con, then I'll see if my whole fandamily :D wants to join me....that way I can stay longer without any guilt! :D ;) :p :D ;) :p

:::crossing fingers::: Hope Sue goes for it John. :)

I'm there Dec 2-9:wave: I've got a studio booked at OKW, my home resort. I'll try to switch to BWV or BCV in May (doubt I'll get anything there). I was at OKW for DISCon I so I can "rough it" there for II if I have to.

Towncrier

Good idea Karen. I suppose that I could commute from OKW since I'm planning to drive to DIScon 2002. It was just so much more convenient to be in the Boardwalk resorts area last year. And I know that it takes a few less points to stay at OKW than at either BWV or BCV. I guess I still have some time to fret about it.

I will be there from Dec. 5-8th! Hope I do not miss anything too important by missing out on Dec. 3 & 4th!:o

John, I rented a car last year (and will again this year).It's only a 5 minute drive over to the Boardwalk area and parking there isn't a problem.

luvdsny
04-06-2002, 09:21 PM
I must say, I had never driven (well, technically I still haven't driven because I had drivers for DIS-Con....but you'll get the point ;) ) around WDW before DIS-Con and I always thought it would be a hassle to find parking, etc...........but I was WRONG! I drove with 5 different people during DIS-Con and each time was so quick and simple. No problems with parking at all. I don't think I would want to drive because I would get lost too easily :o but I'll be happy to keep someone company in the passenger seat again. :D

I will probably rent a car again this year, so you can ride "shotgun" for me Tia!!

I still want to come even if it's a non-con! We had a great time last year at the unofficial mini-meets! I just have to find out if I will be able to get the time off. I'm working at a fairly new job, and I don't know if they're going to go for this. I've already gotten my time off for John-con & Barb-con. I want to give them some time to get used to that before I ask for time off for our anniversary trip in Dec, and for Dis-con. I hope I can get it worked out. I really want to be there!

:::swiping forehead::: Whew! Thanks Karen....I wondering about that! ;) Sometimes I have nightmares about BIG bottles of water.......they're chasing me and their BIG $6 tags are dangling from their necks! :eek: Scary! :eek:

Thanks Corinne :) and Thanks Steve, I think. ;)

I hope you can make it work for you Nancy. :) Would love to see you again. :)
