    BCV getting old and worn ?

    We are heading down to BCV in March. 1st stay at BCV was in 2008 and the décor/furniture was looking tired back then. We had a huge snag in the carpet in the master bedroom(2br villa). Following year stayed at BWV, which was the DVC resort getting all the press for being run down. Room was a...

    What are my chances on getting a 2 br at BCV or BWV 7 months out?

    No problem getting a BCV 2br with the 2 queen beds at the 7 month window for our Spring Break at the end of March. Right at the 7 month window we had a choice of BLT(lake & theme park view), BWV-garden/pool view and VGF(both views).

    Member Cruise cheaper than regular Cruise

    As having missed Hurricane Irene by 2 weeks for my Canada/NE cruise a couple of years ago, I would suggest shopping around for a good trip insurance policy for the Member Cruise.

    Would like some help with options for Thanksgiving 2014

    5 Thanksgiving trips under our belts. I just book our home resort(SSR) at the 11 month window and am done with it. Been successful with 2brs and Grand Villas. A major holiday is not when I try to get cute with the 7 month window

    10 day forecast?

    My new Eddie Bauer rain jacket is already to be packed for my trip this weekend. Had to replace the old one as it's way too big now(lost 60lbs!). It's fall in FL, rain jacket, extra socks and an extra pair of shoes were the first thing on my packing list. I have both weather.com &...

    No Disney this year... or possibly next

    We skipped WDW last year and only did one DVC trip to DL last year(well worth it because VGC is stunning). This year we went to VB for spring break and other than my solo trip this coming weekend, the kids wanted to do other things this year. Hit Williamsburg, went skiing MLK weekend and...

    It's "Countdown Time"!! Food and Wine Festival in October!

    This will be my 2nd solo trip to WDW, and yes I get the :scratchin look too. Sailed solo on NCL Epic last year, that really had people thinking I was nuts. DH thinks it's good that I get away by myself once a year, since I get stuck holding down the fort when he travels on business. Though...

    January 17th 2014 Disney Magic 3 Night Bahamas Cruise

    Just booked Thursday. Being long time DVC members(10 WDW trips, 1 DL , 4 DVC Vero Beach trips) decided to try DCL. Already have air booked. Good price on Delta out of DTW, so we can use the TSA pre check line! I'm a long time cruiser, did my 1st on the original Love Boat(RIP Pacific Princess)...

    No availability in October

    I booked the 1st weekend of October at about 6 1/2 months and the only studio available was at SSR! But I was able to book a BCV 2br with the 2 queen beds this am for my spring break! Was surprised at what was available both on site and off. Already had my tickets to MCO though.

    Disney vs. Europe Vacation

    We are the same way. Usually 1-2 "Disney" trips per year. Last year Disneyland, along with Washington DC & Vail/Beaver Creek. This year, only "Disney" trip was to Vero Beach. Also went skiing, hit Williamsburg and Northern Michigan. With the boys getting older, youngest probably going out...

    Disney vs. Europe Vacation

    I was sort of the opposite of you, many trips to Europe(business/leisure) and then got the Disney bug. Now the kids are older, they are the ones that have a bucket list of European sites to see. I'm glad they do.

    Disney vs. Europe Vacation

    Chances of Fastpass + being in effect for everyone this December?

    Fingers are crossed I get picked for testing FP+ for my October trip. It's my annual "mom getaway" trip and figure it would be easier taking it for a spin without DH & boys. Next family trip is in March 2014. I just have a parkhopper ticket for this trip.

    Availabilty renting points vs WDW reservations???

    :thumbsup2, plus I usually book no later than 7 months, depending on the unit/season I book right at the 11 month window. We also have Wyndham points, so I usually book early(10 months) with those also. Their home resort priority starts at 13 months!

    Vero

    Our spring break usually falls last week of March/1st week of April, and we have done 4 trips to VB at that time since 07 and the latest was this year. We had nice weather, wore my bathing suit. Got in the pool and ocean. I'm from Ohio, so I'm thinking our definition of "warm" will be about...

    Vero Beach

    We debated over buying the Marriott Ocean Pointe resort, but went with DVC VB as we didn't want a huge high rise resort. We decided to go BC on every trip when we banked our points the year we did our long Hawaii trip, then had extra points the following year.
