    Disney Parts Ways With Beloved Hilton Head Island Resorts B’Lou and Shadow

    I am beyond devastated to hear this. When we bought our DVC membership in 2007, our first trip with our points was to HHI. Our kids (8 and 10 at the time) thought we were crazy. "You bought Disney points and you're taking us to Hilton Head Island?" was their reaction. On that first trip, we...

    Remy Previews

    I tried calling Member Services yesterday, but they told me that they were not able to modify the Remy's reservations, so I had to wait until this morning. There is a link to click on the confirmation email. It was very nerve wracking to wait until 1100 Central Time when the modification...

    So happy! I was able to modify our reservation from Monday, Sept. 20th to Friday, Sept. 17th, which I had already reserved as our Epcot park day so I'm all set!

    I can't believe I screwed up! I accidentally selected the 20th when I needed the 17th. Fingers crossed I can still change it tomorrow when the window opens up for modifications! Edited to add: In case anyone is looking for Monday Sept. 20th, there seemed to be plenty of availability. And I...

    Will Call number?

    Cool, thanks for all the clarification! My daughter's friend has never been to a Disney park before, so I'm eager to make sure this experience is the best it can be.

    Will Call number?

    But does that mean our Magic Bands are loaded with the tickets?

    Will Call number?

    A few weeks ago my daughter asked if she could bring along one of her college friends on our trip to WDW in September. As this young woman has a job and is willing to pay her own way, why not? I added her to our reservation and sent her the invite to join our planning party on the My Disney...

    Step By Step - How to Add Names to an Existing Contract (Gratuitous Transfer)

    I just finished adding my children to our deed. I was like you and waited for a while for paperwork from Disney, but after a couple of months, I just sent the new deed to OC and then when I got it back with the stamp attached, I sent a copy of that to Disney. It seemed to work as not long...

    Step By Step - How to Add Names to an Existing Contract (Gratuitous Transfer)

    It's all done! Thanks to the instructions here, my kids got their emails from Disney to apply for their blue cards, and I can see their names when I log in to the DVC member site. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the instructions on how to do this.

    Driving from Chicago to Walt Disney World

    We are also in the drive further the first day and stop south of Atlanta group. The last time we didn't have to hurry the second day and we still made it to WDW by mid afternoon. We use the arrival day to pick up groceries, unpack, and and find a nice place at Disney Springs for dinner -- it...

    Step By Step - How to Add Names to an Existing Contract (Gratuitous Transfer)

    It was mainly a form that had to be filled out with all of our names,, addresses and phone numbers and email addresses). All four of us had to sign it too. There were also some instructions on what we needed to return to Disney, and where to send it. There is a fax number, but we are going to...

    Step By Step - How to Add Names to an Existing Contract (Gratuitous Transfer)

    Well, after several months of waiting, we finally got the New Member packet to add our kids to the membership. Got all the paperwork filled out and put it and a copy of our new deed in the envelope, now it's off to the post office!

    Step By Step - How to Add Names to an Existing Contract (Gratuitous Transfer)

    My understanding is that there is a packet of information that we should receive from Disney telling us how to send in the newly recorded deed. We haven't received that yet.

    Step By Step - How to Add Names to an Existing Contract (Gratuitous Transfer)

    My husband and I want to add our two now adult children to our deed, so I filled out the request to change title back at the end of July and we faxed it to Membership Administration. We also prepared the new deed and had it notarized, also at the end of July. I haven't sent in the new deed...

    Any dog trainers here?

    So I resurrected this thread to say that we decided to try again with a different shelter and we adopted the equivalent of a doggy unicorn. His name is Finnegan and he came from a hoarding case in TX. Finn is a Corgi (with possibly some Basset Hound)/Lab mix and is almost a year old. He has...

    Any dog trainers here?

    Thank you everyone! Even though we only had Max for a little over a week, I do still miss him, so it helps to know that we really did make the right decision.

    Any dog trainers here?

    According to what the shelter told us, Max was a Retriever/Lab mix, but we were pretty sure that there was some border collie in his ancestry somewhere.

    Any dog trainers here?

    I'm still wondering if there was something we could have done. The background: We lost our beloved Sparky three years ago and it really hit DH hard. However, since we are home a lot now and our other dog, Toby, seems to need a companion, we decided to adopt a second dog. After searching for...
