. Is this the life of a newbie changer?
I LOVE "seeing" familiar faces from the GF thread! The Epcot side has a different feel than MK...still awesome! LOVE AKL too!! We stayed at BCV quite some time ago. It was Feb. and too cold for SAB, my family would pick Kidani or SSR over BCV..but we no longer own DVC of course. For that savings it is a great deal! BC is beautiful, but when we went we didn't like the décor of the villas (2005ish).
Make a decision....read a review...change your decision...commit to another resort...a deal comes out and you switch...but, just maybe your first choice really was the best option....so you switch back, and you are DONE! (And may even pinky swear on it)...but are you done??? As a resort changer, you just never really know where you'll end up.
So true Candace!!
Sometimes not until you check in!!!
Or after Mama
We took the kids to see The Croods finally today. As the Disney previews come on, DH looks at me and says "you really love Disney, you are going to make me go there after the kids are grown aren't you" LMAO!! I said, just for food and wine so we can eat and drink and stumble back to YC...he said "okay, fine....but we need to go on rides too".

My DH says going to WDW with the kids spoils his experience
This RCer is about to make a bold move! I'm renting DVC points
RENTING
Kidani rocks
I'm having a dilemma with my back neighbour now -
Marie, that is NUTS!!! Hope it gets straightened out...has she NO idea your DH was shot
what the ?????
Sorry you have this on your already overflowing plate.
Still no RC for this trip, but I do have another RA (Resort Addition)...
Added 3 more nights up front - Poly LV/CL. I know I've been on the fence about Poly for years now. We've stayed GV there twice - first time was great, second was not and we bailed after a few nights for CR. Fast forward to this weekend and DH thought it would be a "no risk" proposition to "get it out of our system" and add Poly up front instead of changing CR or WL - sounds perfect!
Hope this sticks so we actually experience the KKC once and for all. After booking, I read some Tripadvisor reviews that were, as usual for Poly, mixed. A recent guest said that they had bad ceiling leaks and bad mgt. and another guest reported that all of their belongings were stolen at the pool - bags, towels, KTTWC, everything and once again, mgt. was unhelpful, but the police did help. Whenever I read these sorts of reports about the Poly, I get cold Poly feet
Never have tried their CL so we've been curious about it. I've rationalized going sooner rather then later by telling myself that the room should be much fresher now with the rehab (but might not be next year) and who knows if they'll even renew the military discount, so if I'm going to give it one last try, this summer is it. DH joked that we'll have to pretend we're British since we're staying 15 nights.
Cheerio and a happy week to all
Cheerio my dear sis
STOP READING TA AND EXPERIENCE KKC!!! this said by someone who spend the last 2 hours changing my beach hotel based on TA....gotta change SOMETHING right??
Yipee! I got our flights booked for November! Jetblue going down Nov 13 and Southwest coming home on Nov 23! Good times, arriving 11 am in Orlando, and early afternoon Buffalo on the way home. Prices I can live with , but still at least $1000 less than flying from Toronto!
Any luck for you Sheila???
YAY Jen!!
Final resort change! After 8 changes, Free Dining has confirmed that we will be at CR..$800 less than BC...they only allow FD on laguna view or higher there, snagged a standard view at CR! So excited to go! Good luck everyone!
You didn't REALLY say final, did ya???
Sounds like a great change!!
My husband is always telling the boys, as soon as J goes to college - 2 years- we are coming on our own!!
DH and I are moving when he kids grow up..he PROMISED APs!!
Ahhhhhh, I have such fond memories of DH and my trips before kids...We had 3 trips together (including our Honeymoon) before they came along....since they are 9 and 6, we've got awhile before we can reclaim it for ourselves again
You ARE one lucky lady!
Hi friends! I have been reading but haven't had much time to post. I find myself getting several days behind (been travelling for work) and so it is hard to post and comment back to everyone!
I hope everyone is having a great start to their weeks. How many are calling to add Sept discounts? I know Wookie - anyone else? We are booked in October with a DVC discount but I am looking to add a second trip in October if FD comes out. I know its crazy to go twice in a month, right???? But we might do our adult trip (BWV) and then a family trip (Poly, maybe?) so we can hit the
MNSSHP. We'll see. It depends on what we do for summer vacation and that that ends up costing.
Nice...can't wait to see the plans!
Just a quick hello as I'm getting caught up over lunch!
DD's party was a success yesterday and she had SO much fun playing with her cousins and all. SO wound up though. Took her a bit to settle down and get to sleep last night and she was upset she couldn't get up and play with her dolls this morning. But, definitely a good time all around.
85 more days!!
:happybday BELATED...to your DD
Does everyone already know that Jeanette made a change today? I'll give you a hint - she changed to a famous sandwich!
Does anyone recall if the end room in Hawaii, furthest from the lounge is the one with the palm tree in front of it? I seem to recall walking past last summer wondering why some of the Hawaii TPV room views were obstructed by a palm... Off to find photos.
SO the girls and I were in a 1st floor GV room in November...even with the sliding doors TOTALLY quiet...we were on the opposite end from the lounge. Kidani had more hallway noise than our Poly stays...just sayin...
I told my Disney lovin' coworkers about BLT last night...they were both in agreement SV is perfect. What a fluke that I got 35% AP discount!!! Fri/Sat nite is rack rate... When I called CRO to change...no availability with or without a discount. She said...book it online NOW and she cancelled my Poly reservation. Meant to be.....
Port Orleans French (Quarter) Dip?
Dolphin-free Tuna Salad Sandwich?
Beach Club with no mayo? Or is that Yacht Club with extra bacon?
Well it looks like will be resort changing after all. Since the BC GV rooms are not including in the FD discount, the DH says we have to change. Out of the options I gave JM, the one he is happiest about is the AKL. I just hope they have some PV BB rooms available with the FD discount when I call and add FD to it. With that move, our trip has come full circle. It started out as a June trip at the AKL in a Arusha View Room. I'll just wait to change my ticker to an AKL one once I actually make the change.
I did talk to the person over bus driver complaints and he was almost as unhappy with what she said as I am. Hopefully, I will get a call back before I leave for school.
AKL!!!
Pas-Is BLT in your future
Hope so...the kids don't even mind no snack room...DS12claimed the sleeper chair, and I've been nominated to cook pancakes
They can't wait for the pool slide...I can't wait for the Bay Lake view from the Pool...
Can you say...hot mess
Pas - BLT? What brought that on?
Even though we changed from CR to AKL, BLT is definitely on my resort bucket list!!
Honestly, I was pricing a split stay with Portofino, and BLT popped up. I saw the price and checked if it was available all 6 nights....I WAS and CHEAPER than Poly CL.....IT'S ON BABY
Hi Peeps !!
