This is just a horrible addition to the DVC system. Making a mockery of what a Deluxe Resort/accommodations DVC is suppose to be. All 1-bedroom units. (Point hogs and will add further pressure at the 7-month window). The bedroom has bunk beds in the same room as the queen. Why bother with...

Wilderness Lodge et all and Fort Wilderness are two totally different resorts, next to each other. Just like Grand Floridian is next to Poly. The DVC trailer park will be its own association. Since its a new resort, it should have resale restrictions like Rivieria......which will choke off the...

Very lack luster D23.....A few needed refurbs, a lounge and a few "this might happens". No new rides, no new shows announced.

We have been upgraded several times over the years. Last year we had a 1-bedroom booked, got a 2-bedroom. Most of the upgrades are with views. Our last Riviera stay, we booked a standard room and got a preferred view. Last time at BLT we booked a lake view and got Theme Park view. We have never...

We use Uber/Lyft often during our WDW stays. Its nice to use for going out to Dinner, not being dependent on the wide variations in waiting times of the Disney transportation system. We split between using Uber/Lyft or private transfer back and forth to the airport....depends on how many people...

Those Holiday point requirements will burn thru some points. We have a Grand Villa at SSR for 12/26-1/2.

yup....I try to hit those Holiday weekends - Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, etc. Maximize vacation time with minimum impact to work schedule.

For 2023, it will be 35 days For 2024, it is currently 23 days and will probably end up around 26 days.

When I buy resale, I am a bottom feeder. My last resale purchase was a Riviera contract that was net cost of $108 pp.

We don't love BCV either. We did stay there in June, for our Grandsons.....its not their favorite either.

Zero chance......which is rounded up from .00001 chance.

April can be hit or miss with the weather. Its never too cold, usually pleasant on the warmer side, but could definitely see some days pushing up to 90.

I remember you from my early days posting on this board.....early 2006. Good to see some people still posting after being gone for a long time.

So....I was taught many years ago from some fellow DVC big point guys about using DVC for snowbirding for "free". Its a very basic formula.....calculate the points you would need, buy twice that amount and rent half of those points. The money earned would easy cover all the maintenance fees plus...

I was in the old club and still in the game. TomandRobin 2235 points.

Members still receive ride access, but it not thru Genie+.

Cracks me up every time I reread this post. But I have to add, Disney is the same people that defines a 10 year old as an adult for park tickets and dining plans.

Congrats to all the new comers of the 1000 point club!!! Its been a few years since I checked the list, but glad to see I am still in the Top 25.....barely!

Love this thread.....Been a long time since I posted on it or the Dis for that matter. OP is living the retirement dream we had mapped out years ago, with modifications. Our timeshare/extended vacations have changed because of several reasons. 1) We had a grandson 2) My wife was involved in a...

Awesome that this thread came back..... Wow, how times have changed. Been a sellers market for a few years now. I bought a bunch between 2010 and 2012 before the increase in resale prices. Next recession, I am going hard on the VGF distressed resales!
