    VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.0) updated 21 June 2023

    I have stayed in the 2 bedroom “corner atrium” rooms six different stays and both bedrooms are only accessible by entering the main entrance. There are one bedroom units surround them. Edit. I’m sorry, I never read about the fifth floor atrium rooms nor stayed in them. That is interesting that...

    Airmiles car rental MCO

    That site is a nightmare. Sometimes it works and other times not. Don’t even try to do a multi city rental.

    Wait list Procedure

    Correct. I was confused because years ago I had a room request from standard to boardwalk view but that was on a waiting list for the same resort. I thought that if you had rooms already that you could grab a waitlist from a different resort but learned that it was not the case. Will be ready...

    Wait list Procedure

    Have waitlist procedures changed? I have a 2BR 6 nights Dec 18-24 at BRV and three nights Dec 24-27 at BCV. I would like to waitlist the BCV so I could have all nine nights at BRV. I phoned Member Services and asked if I could get on a waitlist but the agent told me that since I had no points...

    Where do DVCers vacation … outside of DVC?

    We have a cottage on Lake Huron in Southampton Ontario so we spend four continuous months there but after paying taxes on a cottage, a house in Stratford and DVC, our budget is stretched. Sometimes a cruise is a special treat

    Question about Dining Packages for First Night of Candlelight Pro. - do I stand a chance if offsite?

    If all else fails, another option is to line up 45-60 minutes at the opening of the Regal Eagle Smokehouse at Lunch as they have same day packages available

    As someone else had mentioned, I would be surprised if Westjet is still operating in a few years

    Epcots best restaurants

    Since I’m of German heritage, I feel at home while helping myself to selections at the buffet table. There are plenty of options and easily my best buffet meal. Our children love the music entertainment

    Wow those room prices at WDW!!!

    In 2007 and 2008 I purchased 100 BRV points, 75 and 50 point contracts at BCV for approx $18,000. I just booked a two Bedroom from Dec 18’th through Dec 27’th for 463 points. The dues will be approx $4300 but if I booked directly through Disney, it was in excess of $23,000. Initial investment...

    AKL vs WL

    We have stayed at Wilderness Lodge 21 times over the past thirty years and Animal Kingdom Lodge two times so obviously WL is my favourite but…..if you are staying a minimum of six nights, a split stay would be the best of both worlds for you

    Anyone use Sunpass while in Orlando?

    Please let us know how you fare out. I used Avis in Dec and Hertz last month. All other times over the years I have rented with Budget. It usually takes two weeks for the extra toll charges from the car rental to appear.

    Anyone use Sunpass while in Orlando?

    Follow Up. I just got off the phone with Sunpass and the problem is what I expected. Both times that I got charges were from getting the car at the airport, entering the plate number on my Sunpass account and then leaving the airport to Highway #417, all within 5-10 minutes. The Sunpass agent...

    Thankful for DVC

    While planning for our Christmas 2024 vacation, I have a 2 BR at Boulder Ridge Villas from Dec 18’th through Dec 27’th. This requires 460 points which would cost approx $4,300 in DVC dues. If I would have booked directly through Disney the cost would have been $23,740. This is all in US funds...

    Anyone use Sunpass while in Orlando?

    We were in Orlando last December and again last month. On both occasions I used the Sunpass transponder and both occasions I also received extra charges from the car rental agency. I have been using Sunpass for years with no problems. I think that I had read that others were having problems with...
