i know this is months later but i wanted to sympathize with you. i had a similar experience at blt 2 years ago and people on this board vilify anyone that dares complain about dvc. you are right, why was it so hard to put both parties close to each other and transportation? it is a huge complex...

with kids it's a toss up, either resort is great w/kids OKW has a cool kids playroom area & ping pong table by the pool and a little kid pool w/sand. the boat to dtd is fun and kids like it. okw has 2 queen beds in a studio vs a queen bed & pullout sofa. plus if you want to poolhop to ssr...

in my opinion, the only big benefit to OKW is the boat to downtown disney. i have been to fl in jan and it wasn't really warm enough to swim and there really isn't much else to do at OKW however AKV has some swanky bars, restauraunts, the fire pit nightly, lots of animals and swimming in case...

good for you! i bet he does't like it one bit!

that is really awful! i don't understand having a "parking" rule then not bothering to enforce it. what's the point of having said rule?! sometimes the stupidity of the disney service people astounds me.

keep in mind that the friday before memorial day weekend will probably be more crowded. although who knows by how much. we were there last year and went the friday after memorial day and a woman i talked to in line said the weekend previous (mem day) was worse.

when we did online checkin at blt, at 3:30pm our room was still not ready, when we got to our room, it was not what i requested so i called down but was told they were full and i would have to pay a room fee to change my room later in my stay if something opened up...i really don't think they...

also i may be mistaken but i believe value is only at jambo house?

wow, what a great experience! i did not have that kind of service in april but it could be that it was a very busy time. the front desk and staff were pleasant but my room requests were not honored and my room was not ready at 3:30pm...felt it was unusual to not be able to check in a little bit...

we like the scary clown pool! actually we've never stayed there, just pool hopped while staying at BCV so your post made me laugh! clowns are def a hot button for lots of people!

the only downfall of the pool view is that it is a hike to the bus stop. if you have small kids, that may be a consideration. also we avoid pool views because i just think they are noisy but i'm a nitpicker when it comes to noise so it may not bother you at all.

the bathrooms at kidani are awesome. to me the whole resort seems very posh and not dvc-ish. we did online checkin at akv 2 yrs ago. we didn't even have to go into the lobby, were met at the entrance with our packet/keys all that however that was not our experience at blt in april so not sure if...

the checkin area(where you drive your car up) was our view for our 1 bed stnd view at kidani. we liked the room though and there are lots of animal viewing areas all over the resort so it's not a big deal to go without savannah view

i agree that moving resorts is a pain even with disney transporting luggage for you (we stayed at pop then went to okw) and the ssr pools are great plus i always feel like ssr is a nice quiet break from the action in the parks. they also just redid the paddock pool (which i loved) to be more of...

it's strange to me that may is booked? we just booked at blt for easter break and we don't own there so it wasn't until the 7month window but it was only for 4 nights so i guess that could be the difference? i'm surprised about may being busy though!

as a dvc owner, i don't understand the buyer paying the mf either since i already paid for the year (due in feb and i have a dec uy) if my mf are already paid as i assume everyone's are past mid feb, not sure why they are factored in? of course i am assuming that everyone gets their bill in jan...

thanks for the info!

be careful with other timeshares. we have a friend that has a wyndham timeshare and bought it originally to go to myrtle beach during april break week. he has booked in the past with no problem however this year something changed and that week was blacked out for him. his choices were add on or...

FYI just want to point out that renting your points on this board isn't as easy as it used to be. i rented my points in 2010 with no issues but when i tried to post a rental a couple of weeks ago, my post was declined because you need to have 50 posts spread evenly over 6 months. i had only 8...

as a dvc owner, i have been comtemplating selling lately and wondered what commision rates are for the timeshare store or others that sell dvc
