We are doing a surprise trip for our kids (21 and 17) arriving on Christmas Eve on our way home to Oregon from a wedding in Arizona on 12/21 and staying at VGC arriving on Christmas Eve. They will think we are just driving home and we will just make a stop for a few days. Only one day in each...

Here's a link with info regarding rooms that I have found very helpful. I will ask for specific room numbers, higher floors are usually better views. It does not always get you want you want, but at least improved chance. I've had some really great views, but it does not always work. Since it is...

Thank you. Great information. There is no such thing as too much info when planning Disney. I’m a planner and usually a resource for those I know going to Disneyland. I know there are big changes since my last trip to DW. We will be there May 27 – June 3. Hoping not too hot and humid yet. I...

I will keep the ECV in mind if it seems like she will really need it. I know it can really help and things can change. I will definitely request a room close to the elevators. Right now the motivation to walk fpr for our trip is helping my mom increase her exercise, which is great for her...

Thanks for the advice. I booked BVW. Without the kids coming, pool is a loe priority. I think it will ne good. My mom is pretty healthy and I know her well enough that unless something changes with her health, she will not get an ECV. She did go to DL with us in June and dud amazingly well, but...

My Mom and I will be going on a trip next year. We are thinking either BC or BWV, but I am debating which would be the best first choice. I am on the west coast so much more experience with Disneyland, only have been to DW twice with the last in 2012. Between BC and BWV, what resort do you like...

I tried to book this morning too, set the alarm and was online before 5 am (pacific timezone). It showed available for the 1 bedroom oceanview, but then when I clicked to book it wasn't. No availability for the dates we need (for any rooms when I did more searching). Our dates are not flexible...

I had my first attempt to book Aulani this morning at the 7 month window. My first choice was the 1 bedroom Island Garden view, but after looking at availability for the last few days I figured my only option would be the ocean view. Got on before 5 am (Pacific time) and tried to book the Ocean...

I really dislike the website change as well. I find it much harder to find the information I'm looking for. I don't really want to have all the sales information. It was so slow and the first time I logged on, I couldn't seem to get any information when going on the links. Perhaps I wasn't...

We will be at GCV from June 14-19.

We arrived there on the Saturday, 11/8 and left on 11/11 (Veterans Day) mid afternoon. It seemed to get more crowded toward Veterans day, with that likely the busiest day of the trip.

Our first stay I requested a Paradise Pier view, 3rd level or above and got 2nd floor pool view. Last stay we got a one bedroom and I requested specific room numbers and we got our first choice. We have a couple more trips planned so I will see if it continues to work, but so far in my...

We had a waitlist come through for 100 pts, Sept use year. It took about a year. Went on the list late March 2013 and it came through mid March 2014. I kept watching resales all during that time and nothing that fit what we needed came up.

I went on the waitlist in March 2013 for 100 pts for the Sept use year. I went on right before the last price increase. The waitlist finally came through about a month ago, nearly a year after getting on the waitlist. They honored the price before the increase. I wasn't sure they would as I had...

I buy gift cards throughout the year to pay MF with. Usually when there is extra incentive, like extra fuel points and then use to pay dues. This has worked for the last several years and is a great way to spread out the payment.

I think it depends on the situation with renting. I think there are few people that would expect not to contribute to paying for a room. Our points were spendy to buy in the first place and we do have to pay annual dues, that will continue to go up monthly. I am renting points to family...

We are waitlisted for a 2 bedroom in June. We have a 1 bedroom booked, which was fine for my family of 4 and my Mom, but my Dad now wants to go. I am getting less optimistic of the odds of it going through the closer we get. We are trying for June 22 - 26.

I have been a DL regular for years. In the last several years we have taken 2 trips to WDW and would definitely say DL is our preferred by far. The fact there are more attractions closer together, park hopping is easy since the parks are so close together, many of the attractions are better (in...

I just got some points direct, but it took nearly a year on the waitlist to do it. I got on the list the end of March 2013 and got the call a couple of weeks ago that I could get them. Got 100 points, Sept use year to add to the 100 points I had for GCV.

We are frequent drivers to Disneyland from Salem, OR and Santa Nella is our usual stop. The Holiday Inn Express there has been great. Not much there, but it is just a stop to rest, let the kids have a swim and get to Disneyland the next day. It's has worked well for us.
