    Best place to go for groceries when we arrive??

    If you go out of Disney through the Hotel Plaza by Downtown Disney, make a right turn (Goodings used to be straight at that light.) Stay straight on 535 past the overpass and go straight for about 3 or 4 miles and you will come to the Super Walmart on the right hand side. They have everything...

    Anyone extending their OKW contract?

    The question of reserves for an extended 15 year period is major. Any value being added by reserves beyond 2042 could raise a lot of eyebrows. Disney has a continued money making opportunity to manage "X" amount of dollars for two different contracts. In the past OKW has had a low maintenance...

    Ginger for motion sickness??

    Bonine or the generic is available at Ekerd. I have a severe motion sickness problem that I have under control. As others have suggested start taking it the day before (night before) and then the next morning. I had no problems on any rides or on a week long cruise. P.S.: Watch what you eat...

    WDW or Hilton Head w/teens

    Our neighbors(DVC Boardwalk owners) took their two teenaged girls to Hilton Head and were bored after the first day and a half. Needless to say the week didn't play out too well for them. I can only vote against it for your own sanity. Best of luck on your decision. :confused3 # :guilty:

    *UPDATE on post #19... Help...no room at the inn...none of the inns for 11/23

    You still have some time between now and Thanksgiving. I would keep trying everyday. Pop Century has a lot of rooms and people change travel plans every day. Be persistant and I think you will get your room. Call at least once a day if not more, but don't give up.

    DVC answers re: transportation/dues--still singing the same off key tune...

    Bus service costs seem to be high for shared resorts. I didn't see any posts on housekeeping costs. I haven't crunched any numbers on housekeeping yet. The numbers seem high considering that there is not full housekeeping at the DVC resorts. Let's say that the average stay is 4 days long...

    Priority Flat Rate Boxes available for pick-up at PO or must get online only?

    The flat rate boxes are provided in two sizes. One is square and the other is about the size of a large shirt box. They are free and your local post office should have then available. If they don't, you should talk to the Postmaster and get them to order them. If you are shipping heavy...

    Complimentary Laundry Facilities @ SSR

    3 Studios?? You might want to condiser 2 studios and a one bedroom. For a few more points you have the convenience of a washer/dryer in the room as well as a kitchen. Plus, you can't beat the master bedroom suite. Just a thought...

    Points

    The higher points for the same rooms at the WLV are not justified by construction costs. Construction costs are figured in on the "buy in" when you purchase. That is why the point cost has gone up with each new resort. In the case of WLV Disney is charging us more to stay there per night. Is...

    New Jersey DVC's

    OKW Members since Dec '91 Last trip was November 2000 to OKW and 4 day Disney Cruise with 76 friends and members of the Jersey Shore Chapter of the NFFC. I'm looking at the snow outside and thinking of palm trees and swimming pools at OKW.
