    Can you watch Wishes from OHanas?

    Yes you can , but you have to request window seating and plan your ressie about 1 hour before the fireworks. MANY people hang around at their table waiting for the fireworks and we have been forced to take a table away from the windows while people just sat for over an hour not leaving...

    Question for experts about AP and MYW tickets.

    The AP would be your best bet since you are staying 14 nights... actually it could be a total of 17 days use of the AP. We always arrive early on our first day, dump luggage at bell services and enjoy a look around the parks to see what is new. Also we leave late on our departure day to enjoy...

    Adults only DVC vacation...what am I forgetting?

    We go more without the kids (both are grown now). Do a tour, any tour! They are all great and relaxing. Ride Pirates over and over at night. Dinner at Ohana's with a window seat for the fireworks, or if not available, get a nice drink and grab a lounge chair and watch the fireworks by the...

    SSR-Why so many resales?

    We bought SSR in Jun '05 and have not regretted it at all. Added on AKV last year and have stayed there twice now. Must say the bus situation at AKV is a bit slower, longer, more crowded at times compared to other resorts. BUT, my theory is that whatever place we are coming/going to has the...

    Transferring Luggage Between DVC Resort and Pop Century?

    No problem transferring luggage. We just returned from a trip that we split with friends. 4 nights at SSR then 4 nights at AKL. We even had another person arrive by DME on the day of the changeover. We called Bell Services at SSR the night before we were to switch and set up a time for them to...

    DVC Change to Renting Rules?

    Reppstir. Hopefully Disney DVC reads these boards. I think they would find it is owners that make ressies during peak times and sell them to the highest bidder that is exactly what this thread is about! You are definitely impacting my ability to use DVC by doing that. (Hint, DVC check out...

    Am I crazy?

    Ok here is some far out there advice! Since you have been fortunate enough in your 21 years to be able to buy any DVC ownership congratulations for that success in your young life! If you have the ability to purchase BWV through Disney I would start doing that as add-ons (maybe 50 pts at a...

    AKLV dues question

    That was also my understanding. Dues would be pro-rated, but not charged until the units were available. I would call MS and ask them to clarify. Let us know!

    Change resorts????

    Ok everyone so far has been pretty nice about it all! If it were my sis I would take the trip as planned, only if she signs a notarized loan document detailing how she is going to pay for her share of the trip once you get back home. I think both of you did poor financial planning for the...

    Check in time at Saratoga Springs what a wasted day!!

    Sorry to hear about your sis's bad experience. We have had rooms ready when we arrive at 10:00am and also have not had our room ready until much later than 4:00pm. It all depends on disneys ability to get the room vacated, cleaned and ready for you. We always plan our first day as if we will...

    How many times a year do you go to WDW?

    At least once a year on average as the kids grew up, but now that we are DVC Owners/Members we have been going 3 times a year and Luv'n IT ! (Fly down from Ohio - Haven't had a car in Disney in 3 years now and haven't missed it at all) Still sooooo much to see and do....and places to eat Yum...

    Size of SSR compared to CSR??

    We have stayed at CSR and loved it too. The Pepper Market is my favorite of all places to eat! What a selection! IF you are staying at one of the rooms near the main pool at CSR I think it is actually farther than any of the rooms at SSR from the main building? I agree with above, once you...

    DME WITH a 2yo and 4yo???--Are we Crazy???

    For us DME is the only way to go to Disney! We havent taken a car or rented one in 3 years now ! The only concern would be how much luggage you have returning to the airport depending on whether you can precheck in at the Disney resort or not. Its no problem on the way down because DIsney...

    Will I regret switching from All Star Movies to Saratoga Springs?

    We stay at SSR most of the time, and can say we only had any bus issue...1 time and that turned out to be not a scheduling problem, but rather a driver got sick while driving and it took dispatch a few minutes to get a replacement bus on the route. The Most I hear is that people using the...

    Another AKL refugee

    I guess that is why Disney has sooooooo many different themed resorts! There is bound to be something to make it worthwile switching! We think SSR is a beautiful, relaxing laid back resort and it works great for us. BUT, with kids, I can see where BC or BW or one of the closer resorts is more...

    Expensive Mistake

    I agree with buying direct from DVC. You can get the same UY you have now which allows you to book that 1 BDm sooner! If you add on at another location, make sure you can get a ressie there with the number of points you need at the 11 month, or else you are stuck going there at the 7 month...

    Do you think it is worth it for us?

    DVC fits quite well for empty or never nesters! We were empty nesters when when finally bought in. The advantages for us are more frequent trips for fewer days(gotta love southwest ding flights!). Also, we plan on doing a cruise and going to Europe on DVC points in the future. I like the idea...
