    Lounge for Aulani guests

    I booked this for our last trip, but could not figure out where it was within the actual airport. I was all turned around.

    Vacatia? Has anyone used them recently?

    We used them last year for an Aulani contract. There were some hiccups, but it was fine.

    Pay off student loans or DVC in full?

    Yikes, that’s high. Is there any real financial savings to DVC over rack rate when the interest is that high? I’d pay off student loans and sell DVC and use the money I was paying towards both to save until I could buy a resale account without that high rate.

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    Hi Grand Cal lovers. We are staying at VGC in a few weeks in a hearing accessible studio. We have never stayed in a DVC studio before, and have only stayed one night at VGC previously (2-bedrooms), so don't know the property well. This is also our first time staying without a car. I am...

    Ft. Wilderness Cabins becoming DVC?

    I agree. But I fear we are heading into the 20 cents (or less) on the dollar scenario with all of these changes, and in making such an overly complicated product. I've owned WorldMark since 2006 (purchased resale) and have seen all of the pitfalls of their trust system as it has changed over...

    Ft. Wilderness Cabins becoming DVC?

    Unfortunately, every restriction they add to resale makes purchasing direct less and less desirable, as a strong resale market is a solid reassurance that buying into this expensive timeshare plan has a reasonable exit strategy. They are shooting themselves in the foot by doubling down this way...

    Finding the unicorn- Subsidized Aulani

    I haven't noticed any Sept UY subsidized accounts, but this is also not a UY I would prefer, so if I did see it, it may not have registered. I mostly see June (what I have and sister/BIL have), February, and March.

    Do you avoid telling some people about a DVC purchase?

    I know resale owners at Aulani are salty about not getting the sparkly "owner" wristbands (myself included... I think it's petty). I try to tell myself the real reason we don't get them is because they don't want people asking us questions about our membership in the hot tubs for fear we will...

    Do you avoid telling some people about a DVC purchase?

    I don’t care about the timeshare stigma. We’ve had a different timeshare since 2006 that has been one of the best decisions we’ve made, allowing us to go on lots of great vacations as our kids were growing. We bought it resale for a fraction of the regular cost. I’ll gladly have a conversation...

    Not for sure but I think we're going to cross a Cali property off our list

    Consistently inconsistent.... That sums it up perfectly!

    Yes on the ride closures! We tried FOUR times to ride Indiana Jones because it kept going down. We had Genie+, so got a freebie LL every time it went down, which was nice, but we ended the night with 20 unused unassigned LL (group of five, ride went down four times).

    Not for sure but I think we're going to cross a Cali property off our list

    We used this entrance as well after the bellhop told us about it. The security guard or ticket lady there scolded us for using it, telling us it was only for Paradise Pier guests. Weird.

    Not for sure but I think we're going to cross a Cali property off our list

    We were there on Wednesday night in a two-bedroom right by the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail (2518, if I remember correctly). They were testing the lights, music and special effects for the Oogie Boogie Bash until 11:49 pm. It was LOUD. I didn’t mind because I liked the music (would love to know...

    Side of mashed potatoes? Scrambled eggs? Need soft foods.

    Thank you everyone for the help!

    Side of mashed potatoes? Scrambled eggs? Need soft foods.

    They don’t have to mashed, but I can’t have the skins. Would it be easy to eat these without skins?

    Side of mashed potatoes? Scrambled eggs? Need soft foods.

    I don’t think so yet. I’ve told to avoid wheat as well. Otherwise that would be good.

    Side of mashed potatoes? Scrambled eggs? Need soft foods.

    Yum! Usually my kids just want bread for the meal anyway, so that sounds like a perfect meal to split. Thank you.
