    DVC Mike at BLT Dec 6-14

    Talk me in to going to Florida! I own at SSR and AKV but have only stayed at VGC because we are from Calif and only bought in Florida to get first crack at VGC! I have 300 points between SSR and AKV but have never been! The photos are so inviting.

    How often do you have to go to make DVC worth it?

    My only regret is not buying sooner! We literally spent 10's of thousands of dollars on rooms and suites before finally buying DVC 7 years ago. We have 545 points and I have never spent one of them outside of VGC. I have contracts at AK and SSR only because my guide in Calif. said we would get...

    Contract Regret (Home Resort)

    I unfortunately bought at SSR and AKV several years ago with my guide telling me I would have first chance at VGC. Although we have stayed at VGC many times I have yet to stay in Florida and don't foresee myself doing so much in the future. Being from Calif. I wish all my 545 points were there...

    Do I really need reservations at Steakhouse 55 on a Wednesday in February?

    Love Steakhouse 55! Ate there Sun. 22nd and it was great as usual. It never hurts to make ressies even during slower times of year. Being our night was during Christmas week, I had made the reservation well over a month ago and even then there was only a few prime times left. By the way, we ate...

    Waitlist Purgatory - August 2013 -- UPDATED Interesting outcome

    Just canceled my waitlist at VGC for 2 bedroom Dec.22nd-27th and took a sure thing by getting a premium view at the DL Hotel. I knew with so few rooms I had but 2 chances, slim and none! They need more rooms at Disneyland! At least we'll be there and had a lot of points to play with. I actually...

    Just booked a 2 bedroom villa june 2nd-7th. Actually banked points this year for the first time in 5 years after borrowing almost every year.

    Please pray for my wife

    It was a bittersweet trip, to be sure. I think we probably went a little too soon after her passing as we had so, so many wonderful memories at Disneyland. We always stayed at the resort hotels and had joined DVC about 4 years ago. Our favorite time was at night as we had so many wonderful...

    Has Matterhorn suddenly become the most uncomfortable ride at Disneyland?

    Just returned from 4 days at the resort and although the weather was quite warm, we had a great time. My only complaint was about the the new sleds at the Matterhorn. They are the most freaking uncomfortable things I have ever ridden in! They have got to fire the person or persons responsible...

    Got harassed twice yesterday about expired fastpasses

    We just got back after 4 days at the resort and were never questioned once about our fastpasses which were all several hours old. In fact it seemed that they never even looked at the time as I was a little worried because they were well past the return times. On another note, early entry was...

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. My beautiful wife passed away this past Friday at our home and now is at peace. A big thank you goes to my local Hospice as they made her last few days at home as comfortable as possible. They are truly angels.

    Please pray for my wife

    My beautiful wife of 28 years is lying next to me right now at Stanford medical center dying of Adrenal cancer. She is only 53 years old with four beautiful children. We joined DVC about 5 years ago because we love Disney so much and would make 3-5 trips a year to Disneyland. It was like our...

    We are staying in a 1 bedroom unit at VGC June 17th-22nd. Got the room ressie many months ago not realizing that Carsland would being opening on the 15th!
