Maybe I am too frustrated to think right! Bait and switch, loss leader, August 14, 2009! Ok, don't beat me. Understand my frustration at being told to spend 114 more points for the same vacation! That will cost me going back to WDW at all for a year if we take the higher rate. So my...

I am booking a $8000 trip and am mad about spending $800 more. That is really the difference. The vacation I want is listed at a little over $4100 at the early rate. The regular rate is $400 per person more. In talking to the representative, (who refused to tell me how many the early booking...

I have learned that there are few if any early booking rates. (Sorry: its is loss leader not lost leader) Below is my letter I sent to DVC...I as trying to use points, but the facts true for cash also: Dear Sir or Madam: On Thursday, August 14, 2009, I called member services about the newly...

My letter to member services explains the mess: Dear Sir or Madam: On Thursday, August 14, 2009, I called member services about the newly released Adventures by Disney trip to Ecuador and Galapagos Island leaving on June 16-June 25, 2009. I was informed that it would be 594 points per person...

Just got a letter talking about an extension of termination of the OKW ownership. For $25 for point, it would now expire in January 2057. Where did this come from?

Wife and I are all booked. Just wanted to post so that we can stay informed. :woohoo:

We look at our DVC membership as a second home. So we are up to 650 points. When we retire, we hope to have enough points to spend a month or more in the winter on property. It is much cheaper than owning and maintaining a second home (been there--and its not cheap). We are about 8 years...

I still have not received my bill(s) for dues. I own at OKW, BCV and SSR. We have a trip planned the week before Christmas. It seems I ran into a problem a few years back---bills sent and not paid--when I checked in. What is the policy? When are bills sent out? Any ideas?

The email newsletter indicates the dates as May 27-29. I thought it was 25-27th of May. Which is right? The member web site says 25-27th. Is there a change, or did the email newsletter make a mistake?

What would Disney look like with ME replaced with Steve Jobs? Jobs is very similar to Walt Disney: creative, daring, sometimes not fiscally smart. The HP sponsorship might not stick around, but think of what would happen. (And yes, I am a Mac person).

We really want to go back this Fall--mission space Mickey's Phil. etc. opening. The problem is that we have already used all our pionts this year. (Started with new years, then spring break and the first part of June) We would be fine, if we hadn't started taking friends with us. The...

The question about Mandalay bay lead me to thinking -- we have great options on the concierge program in almost every major vacation location except Vegas and Williamsburg. Any ideas why?

Jiko is wonderful. Boma is filling and a little loud. It depends on what you want. Jiko has a very attentive but not overbearing waitstaff. With Boma, you get to try dishes that you might not order if it were not a buffet. We alternate eating at one or the other each trip. Jiko is more...

We are planning on doing animial kingdom on new years eve and head back home (BCV) to bring in the evening. Any ideas about a place around boardwalk/beach club that would be tame that night. Sorry but we are too boring to be out all night--besides we have stuff to do the next day.

If you like to eat, try the house of blues gospel brunch. Local church groups perform and HOB puts out a brunch that you will not believe. Its loud, but great!

Well it looks like the Disney Club is gone for good. Now the question is whether the DVC discounts will stay in place. Alot of the DVC discounts were also discounts under the "Club". Clearly, DVC discounts on the unlimited magic pass may be more important now that there will be no...

Yes, I swam at Emory. I firmly believe its the best exercise you can do.

We own at OKW and have added on at BCV. I'm not really a fitness nut, but have been working on my weigh lately. The only way I can seem to keep it off is to exercise every other day (and it works -- I've lost 108 pounds in the last two years). I now swim about 2 miles every other day at a...

The tours are all good in Savannah! There are so many good resturants in Savannah--I don't know where to begin. Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House is great! The Lady and Son's is also good. Both are good southern cooking and not as "touristy" as pirates house. For up scale dining: The 1790...

The good news: We decided to take advantage of the $70 MB price on 100 points. The bad news: We are trying to change our new years reservations to stay at BCV. That where I am getting confused. We currently have a one bed room at OKW(our first home) for December 30-Jan 5. Without the...
