FWIW I must have received that same error message at least 25 times. (I was on hold with Member Services and kept trying during my 40 minute wait) And then for whatever reason it took on attempt number 26 or so. Mind numbingly frustrating but don’t give up…

I'm typing this from the Boardwalk having just completed this drive last Thursday. We left the central Jersey Shore at 2:00 A.M. Took the NJ Turnpike to I-95. Passed the Fort Henry Tunnel at 4:30, took the 495 East Beltway around DC and crossed the Wilson Bridge at 5:30. Didn't hit any traffic...

It made more sense financially for us to buy now and get the renewal discount. We’re going for a week in November and then a week in January for the marathon. After that we won’t be back until the marathon in January 2013. Would love to be able to sneak in a few day trips in between , but...

I figured she was incorrect on that. It seemed too good to be true. Thanks for the replies!

Good Day. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question I have regarding Annual Passes. I had purchased an Annual Pass last year that expired on May 25th, 2011. At the time I wasn’t sure how many trips we were going to take this year so I didn’t renew it. Then about...

I'm staying at the Holiday Inn on Lakewood Blvd. It looks like it's on the corner of Willow Blvd. so that side street route may be the way to go. I'm from NYC originally so my first instinct is always to take a cab. This time I think I'll go with the rental car. Thanks for everybody's help...

After about a dozen trips to WDW I'm finally going to get a chance to see Disneyland. I'm going to be out in Long Beach for a conference and have an open date my first day out there. Figured I'd use it to see the park. I was wondering if any locals could tell me the best way to go about...

Ocean Township checking in. More specifically Oakhurst. I'm wondering the percentage of Jersey Shore folks who purchased at the BWV? Does where we live make us preconditioned to be drawn to a boardwalk?

Can anyone tell me if DVC members get 10% off Park Hopper Plus tickets also, or is the member discount only off the Ultimate Park Hoppers? If we do get a discount on the Park Hoppers, can anyone tell me where I can go to purchase them? My local Disney Store told me to call Member...

Thanks for all the input. It’s very much appreciated. Now for my next question, besides going to the beach, what else is there to do at Vero? Is there anything nearby? Or are there things to do on the property?

Odd question,…. of all the pictures I’ve seen in the guidebook of the Vero Beach resort, I’ve never actually seen anybody “on” the beach. No umbrellas, blankets, beach chairs….no people. Just wondering, do people go to the beach at Vero Beach???? I’m from the Jersey shore where the majority...

Thanks for all the advice. There were some good ideas there. Still don’t know what we’re going to do but I’m going to take a long hard look at all my options and try to figure out what course to take. Thanks again!!!

Thought I might be able to tap into the vast pool of DVC knowledge on these boards and see if someone can help me with this problem: We have a two-bedroom villa booked for January 2004. This week I was hired for a position with the government that will require me to go down to Georgia for...

I ran the half and managed to complete it in 1:54:39. I’ve run a boatload of 5-K’s and 5 milers, but this was my first real distance race. Overall I have to say it was a lot of fun, but it does have its pros and cons. Granted, waking up and getting to the line for the 6:00 AM start is a...

We just got back from the Beach Club and were at that Publix about four times over the course of the week. Where as I could physically drive there from WDW with no problem, giving you directions might be a little tougher. (I’m horrible at remembering street names) Its actual location is right...

I was actually at the Disney Store at the Menlo Park Mall tonight making a purchase. As I gave the CM my DVC card she turned around and asked another CM behind her, “ I know we are not going to have the Disney Club discount anymore, does that apply to the DVC discount also?” I’m assuming this...

We stayed in an Ocean View room at Kapalua Bay last November while on our honeymoon. In my opinion it's definitely worth the extra points. We were on the fourth floor but the sliding doors on the ocean side of our room were at ground level. (The hotel is built into the side of a hill. It's...

My Wife and Honeymooned at the Kapalua Bay Hotel this past November. It’s an absolutely fantastic hotel. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was excellent. Plus the beach it’s on (Kapalua Bay) was voted one of the top five in the world by one of the major travel magazines a few years back...

If that's the case then I guess I won't try to change my reservations over from BWV. I hate the thought of getting up that early before a race, but have a feeling I won't be getting much sleep anyway b/c of the anticipation of running the race anyway. Thanks for the garbage bag tip! Although I'm...

Born and raised in Staten Island, NYC.......but now reside with my wife in (To quote Bruce Springsteen) "The Great State of New Jersey". Oakhurst to be exact. We bought in BWV because it was like they took the best of the Jersey Shore and plopped it right down in the middle of Disney. What...
