Why does the OP's question make some folks insinuate that there is something wrong with asking that question? What if "Cheerleading Days" was substituted - would that be a problem? As this is still a free counrty, folks have the right to avoid crowds regardless of what constitutes that crowd.

My name is Vacationman and I may have a problem. It all started back in 1979 with my first trip to WDW during a Florida spring break excursion. I did not know it then, but that short visit turned out to be the “gateway” to my current situation. While not evident to my family and friends...

For our next WDW trip, I signed us up for Magical Express to get us to and from the BWV. We will just have carry-ons but would like for the ME folks to still take the bags to our room at BWV. Is there a place at the airport where we can do this - we do have the luggage tags - or can we just...

I know what you mean. I would hate to spend twenty grand on DVC only to find out that i would have to hang up wet towels in order to use them more than once. Last time I was there, we had four bath towels at the shower and one more at the tub. Don't remember how many hand towels. Do...

I do not understand all of the resistence to this concept. Since the time DVC started, Disney has made improvements to their reservation systems through various computer based programs. Each of these improvements has been paid for by DVC members. Why is this one any different? The management...

What I would like about an on-line system is the feeling that I would have the same chance for a reservation as everyone else. Sometimes you get a MS CM who knows less than the average member and feel like you are losing time while all the standard view rooms are being taken. On-line...

The Hilton Grand Vacation Club has reservations on-line and I think it works extremely well.

I believe this means that because a portion of the annual maintenence fees are set aside for future upkeep/improvements, OKW owners who are not extending past 2042 will receive a rebate of some sort for the portion of their maintenance fee that are for upkeep beyond 2042. I.E., if you pay the...

Having gone through the "experience" of having a home built, I can say thet there is nothing better during that "experience" than being able to get away to the Happiest Place On Earth. With a new home, there will always been things to spend a substantial amount of money on - each of which cost...

I have a reservation for BWV and it says "Garden/Pool" for the vacation home type. Although that is a "preferred" view, is it different that a Boardwalk view? If I want a Boardwalk view, do I need to call in and make a new request? :confused:

The only cure is to plan your next trip as soon as you get home (or before you go). Joining DVC helps too.

Since there is no place on the face of this earth where I would rather vacation, DVC was a natural for me. I actually bought 300 points in 2000, bought 310 more two years later, then sold all of it three years ago and bought into Hilton GVC because we we wanted to go to Hawaii and needed to...

We go every Christmas but would not recommend it to anyone - at least anyone who would be in the same park we are in. Seriously, even at its most crowded, it is a great time to be at WDW. There is nothing like the Candlelight Processional on Christmas Eve, the decoratons everywhere especially...

If you want the payment applied to principal only, you have to specify that. Great way to earn miles (or whatever other rewards) if you do this via credit card, then pay off the card when due.

Never been in/on "Its Small World". That song and those scary little people freak me out.:scared:

Yes, I have heard all about this. If you are lucky enough to be living near enough to the Disney Doorway to Dreams store in the Woodfield Mall (in Schaumberg, IL), you get a bonus of either two annual pass certificates or a $500 Disney gift card.

Thanks AKV707!! I appreciate your understanding what I was saying. AKV looks great and is one which I would love as a home resort - that is why the suggestion of a resale does not appeal to me. Do you have any reservations about the new buildings being separated from the existing resort and...

I guess the reason is precedent. They have done this in the past for prior owners (according to my DVC rep). And, deserving or not was not the point I was trying to make. It's just that once I see a much better deal out there (even one I can't get), it takes the luster off of the deal I can...

Having owned in the past (300 pts @ BWV and 310 @ OKW) I was just about ready to jump back in using the referral incentives (my sister is still a member from when I referred her). 225 points with 160 developer points @ $96 per point at AKV sounded OK. Then, yesterday, I hear that folks...

Unlike the real world, at WDW: You don’t have to be handsome or pretty to be treated as someone special by the Cast Members; You don’t have to act your age; You can find out about many different cultures by either observing others or, better yet, interacting with others – especially the...
