We head to Curaçao for three weeks in Feb, we own at the Royal Sea Aquarium resort, a timeshare we bought twenty years ago. There's only thirty-two-bedroom villas so it's really small and we know so many owners it's like going to visit old friends. We've also started to take cruises out of...

Just an update; our OKW direct purchase from Disney was Feb 2010 so that's early enough and enough points for us to retain membership benefits. Getting ready to list our (details removed) contract xxxxxxto sell, also looking to replace this contract with an OKW contract, the search is on.

Thanks, I'm sure my 50 OKW direct was pre-2017. I will be booking a trip soon using my 2023 points so will have to sort through my options and make a decision before my 2024 points are loaded.

I'm not sure yet, haven't located my resale contract yet. I'll try to lock it down today. Would like to see where that loaded OKW contract for $60 is listed.

I'd have to dig out my OKW contracts, 50 was direct and 100 resale, all SSR are direct. Thanks for all the comments.

Flipping one for the other would be costly with closing costs and fees on both contracts, too bad Disney wouldn't just do a trade. We're doing the banking this year with all our points at SSR but would really prefer to stay at OKW, we'll look at the 7-month mark to see if we can switch our stay.

Our OKW points are a mix with only 50 being direct, how many needed to receive benefits?

Actually, since we've retired, we've been going the first two weeks in Dec to OKW, at 11 months I can put 15 consecutive days together easily at 7 months I haven't been able to do that, this past Dec we were only able to get 13 days together and that didn't come together until Sept. All in the...

We own at both OKW and SSR equal number of points but are finding that over the years we only stay at OKW. So, we book OKW at 11-months and at 7-months we combine the SSR points to get new res at OKW extending our stay as long as we can. Would like at this point to have all our points at OKW to...

Ludlow, we live in Ludlow, heading down to OKW for the first two weeks in December.

I didn't see it mentioned but if you're flying Jet Blue into terminal C you have to get your baggage and make your way over to terminal B which can be a hike, at least it was in Dec. Sunshine Flyer said they were going to get a pick-up, drop-off at terminal C but I wouldn't bet on it, but I'm...

Thanks, we have enough points to fly Jet Blue on points this year but will keep an eye on Southwest. We weren't happy with Jetblue this last flight, we were supposed to get to MCO around 3:15 until they dropped that whole flight and put us on a later flight arriving at 7:30, ruined our first day.

Be aware that if you fly JetBlue you'll come into terminal C and have to make your way back to terminals A&B after getting your luggage which can be a hike. At least that's the way it was when we went in Dec.

The temp card I printed before we went worked great, at a few stores cast members commented that they wished more people would do it. After I printed the card, I made a couple copies in case it got damaged, like on splash mtn.

We used SF on our trip, 12/1-12/15, we waited for the bus at MCO for about 40mins, as mentioned chaotic pile of people wondering what's the plan here. We landed at 4:30pm at terminal C, waited 30mins for luggage to arrive and then the slog to terminal B. Traffic that night was horrendous, we...

We just returned today from two weeks in a 1bdrm in building 11, didn't hear a bus during the entire stay. I called member services a few days before we left home and requested that building and got it, second time in that building, both times calling a few days before arriving.

I just went to the DVC member site and printed out the temporary blue card for my next stay. I very seldom carry a phone on vacation and my wife "thinks" she knows how to use hers.

Last year we were there for two weeks and stayed in a one bedroom in building 11, I couldn't believe how quiet it was. At first, we were like man, we're stuck over here in the parking lot corner, but we soon came to enjoy that building, really didn't even encounter much foot traffic with other...

Wow, I never realized that. Last time we stayed someplace else on property was around 2007, I think. Maybe we don't notice a difference because we have well water at home. We're going down for two weeks in Dec, I'll have to pay attention.
