Our reason is not because we can't afford it. I just don't think it is all that is it cracked up to be. I've become very disappointed in it and think my money can be used elsewhere!
I think having DVC is a negative thing. Disney has changed so much and the yearly "dues" are getting ridiculous. Never mind the price now of getting there and the cost of tickets.....we are selling! Not like it used to be which is so sad. Unless you have money that you just don't have...
We tried playing by the rules one year and "asked" for permission. Ummmmm, needless to say, it did not go over well!:mad: It was not excused. So, from now on, we just say they were sick. Too bad we have to do it that way now.
We have been waiting for ANYTHING for that week since June. Nothing yet. I think we won't really know anything until Oct., when the 31 day "put your points in a holding account" come up. Then maybe some people will cancel.
Don't get me wrong...I don't go to DW for the hotel service. We stay at the parks all day. I would never sell based on service. There is just a lot starting to irrtate me with Disney, but we still love going there.
I don't collect things I paid extra for as souveniers either. I just expect them to be there, especially since I've paid for the service.
We have always been treated nice by everyone, it's just slow service.
And.....no, we don't tip if it's something that should have been there. Now...
We have mousekeeping problems EVERYTIME we go there. We pay for the extra service and never get it. I always have to end up calling to take care of the problem. We even walked in one time and the sofa bed didn't have clean sheets on it. (I can see where that was an oversight, but still.....)...
I'm 50-50 on it. I love being "part" of Disney and having a great place to stay when we're there.....however, I really don't like the pressure of not being able to get ressies when you want them and having to be put on the waitlist.
I understand nothing is guarenteed, but it is a little...
To those of you who have said "God helps those who help themselves." that IS NOT in the bible. No where, no place. Man made scripture. God helps anyone who ASKS for his help!!!
Becareful of helping him. You have been emotionally involved with him before and it wouldn't take much...
You don't have to have them, but I would just in case. I don't trust the system....due to technical difficulties in the past. If you have them, you have proof of ressies!!
I don't normally get in to reading the posts here, but I can't help reading yours, you are such a delight! I wish I knew you in person. You are so positive. Your students must be happy to have a teacher like you! Keep on writing, I'm reading!:flower3:
Whether with new fees, higher ticket prices, or both - we are all going to pay more to fly.

Yeah, so let's just all roll over and like it....(same with rising bank fees, taxes, etc.) I LOVE added fees!!!
It is called the monorail!!! The convenience of jumping right on and being able to get to MK fast is the whole thing....yes the GF and C do it too, but I love the tropical feel. It's like being in Hawaii and DW at the same time.
