We have been going to WDW every year since 1997, and stayed at all of the moderate resorts. Two things: Even if there is some referb work going on at a given resort it won't have a big negative impact. All of the resorts are awesome. Two: It's a free trip. Disney could put me in one of the...

I just want to add this additional point. In 13 years, 28 visits to WDW, we have never had to make a reservation more than 7 months out, so I really believe where you buy into as your home is irrelevant. As A DVC member you can stay at all of the DVC resorts. You can even stay at places like...

I agree with other who are saying the expiration date should not play much of a role in your decision. One thing that might offer some help is what your annual dues will be. Here is a link that shows what the dues for 2011 will be. Actually they are percentages based on the amount of points you...

We have been to WDW 28 times since 1997, and we have found that the idea of going there without visiting at least one park just kills the thrill of going. It's kinda like going on a cruise and then never leaving the ship to take advantage of the ports. IMO if you attempt a trip to WDW and make...

We have been going to WDW since 1997 and one thing we have definitely learned is that attempting to make a rock solid schedule is nearly impossible, but you almost never stick to it even if you can. My suggestion would be to determine how much money you want to spend on food for the entire trip...

My two cents is that BW is superior to Saratoga. Each hotel has very cool things available however BW is part of what I call "the hub" in WDW. What I mean by that is BW has activity going on all day and late into the evenings actually down on the walk. The Boardwalk bakery is a must do, not just...

Anyone can stay anywhere as long as their is availability. That's sounds obvious however DVC members get first priority at DVC properties. IE, if a "non DVC" family makes a reservation at Old Key West (because there happens to be availability) but then a "DVC member" calls in wanting to make a...

I'm sure the free dining sounds like a great option (and for some it probably is). However, IMO the sacrifices you make to not use DVC to get free dining are simply not worth it. You give up a lot more than you gain.

I am a big steak (meat) eater and I would say you need to try Boma if you haven't. They have prime rib, and many other items to satisfy any taste. I always over indulge on their PR because it is always correctly prepared. If you like yours a little more done just ask. Their chefs will be more...

We eat at SAI all of the time and have never had anything but a great experience and great food. That said, like so many other posts in this thread, rather than listen to me or anyone else, I think you need to experience it for yourself. That will be the only true test for you. How anyone else...

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. There is never a good time for anything like that to happen, however it makes me feel good to know that Disney stepped up and showed that type of compassion in your time of need. It's one of the reasons we bought into DVC in the first place in 1997, take our...

We have done split stays on multiple occassions. We like them because it give you the advantage of being able to experience multiple resorts. One of the things that most people overlook is what the resorts have to offer. Each is very unique and all offer many fun and interesting things. It is...

What a difficult question to answer. There are many factors you need to consider. Do you have kids? Do you want an adult atmosphere or something more interactive and fun. What is your budget? Do you want all you can eat? Are you looking for characters? We go WDW every year and, in my opinion...

Amen to that.

We did the Disney Cruise a few years back.....AWESOME....Just AWESOME!! Make sure you eat at the Artist Pallete. Have a great time!!!

I find it very interesting the responses to this poll. Over 90% would take the money. Hmmmm......the interesting thing about that is compared to say, the all expenses 2 week vacation every year, the value of the $200k really doesn't stack up. If you assume costs at WDW will increase every year...

Ah the beauty of polls. If only they were real....that said, in the spirit of good form I'll send you a check. It's gonna bounce higher than a kite though.

We have been to The Boardwalk several times (it's my favorite resort). The GV's are all located near each other however the studios, 1 Bedroom & 2 Bedrooms are mixed up. I also do not know of any specific floor plan (public anyway) that shows exactly how the room are seperated. If this is your...

If you could do/have one of the following, what would you choose? 1. Get annual all expenses paid trip for your family for 2 weeks to WDW/Disneyland? 2. Receive $200,000 dollars cash? 3. Be a cast member, get free access for yourself and immediate family? 4. Live your life as you do...

There is nothing as great as the magic that Disney creates. I would just LOVE to be one of the cast members (selling balloons, souveniers, etc.) on Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom. Seeing all the smiles on kids of all ages would be, in the words of Peter Pan "a truly excellent adventure"...
