    VERY Impressed with Davids

    You make the reservation. It is much easier than the R/T board in several ways. First, you get ALL of the info you need to book the rental the first time; there is no back and forth with the renter filling in the blanks. Second, you don't need to discuss / explain / negotiate terms with the...

    Best Ways To Get To Non Disney Parks From Our DVC

    We have rented a car, used Mears shuttles, and taken a cab, but have not gone over there recently. It's worth it to crunch the numbers. Renting a car gives you the most flexibility, but you have to pay for parking at Universal. Not sure how much that costs these days. Sent from my iPad using...

    Renting from Davids

    My typical terms when renting points myself were 50% down and the balance 60 days prior to checkin (unless banking was a problem for me at that point), so David's terms didn't bother me at all. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    Renting from Davids

    I gave David's 200+ points to rent yesterday morning, by yesterday afternoon they got back to my with 3 requests (all of which I accepted), I booked all 3 online and the deposit was in my Paypal account this morning. Tough to beat that service! Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    Trouble with MS Online and Google Chrome?

    My experiences with various Internet browsers..... First, and most importantly, do not use your browser's "Back" or "Forward" button if there is a "Next" or "Back" icon on the form. Use them instead. This is very important for booking online. If you get "website cannot be found" or "unable...

    Should I add day visitors to our ressies at BWV?

    You don't need to add them to the reservation. Ask the front desk to print a second parking pass for you. They tell the guard they are visiting a resort guest. You can run the pass out to the car if you want to (we never have done that, though, when we've had day visitors) Sent from my iPad...

    Does Disney treat those who buy resale differently?

    We truly do not know why DVC placed resale restrictions; unless I have missed something everything posted here has been conjecture as to their motives. It was also suggested that they restricted resale trade-outs because the were unable to get the cash they wanted for the excess rooms they now...

    PAP ordered online- question

    When you purchase online (or over the phone) and ask to have your purchase mailed to you, you will receive vouchers which do not have names assigned. You take the vouchers with you to WDW and exchange them for the "real" passes (at Guest Services or at the ticket windows, not at the resorts)...

    No more 20 percent merchandise discounts for PAPs

    I think the anxiety here is that DVC started pitching the PAPs 2 months ago at the time when one of the benefits was the 20% discount, and you had to purchase the PAP by 12/31/12. Many did so prior to last week when they dropped the discount back to 10%. Everyone knows that certain benefits...

    Luna Park Closure?

    The announced closure is for the themed pool only. You should be OK for the quiet pool. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    A DVC (Disney) Rant

    We bought the PAPs online, paid with a credit card, and were charged $5.00 for the vouchers to be mailed. We got a receipt online, but I'm not sure if it was emailed or just printed at the end of the transaction. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    DVC resale changes coming!?!

    Everything you have read regarding the future use of points on resale contracts is speculation based upon a comment made by a guide that resales were going to have more restrictive value in the future. There has been no official announcement from DVC on any changes to future or current resale...

    What are your thoughts on a pet friendly DVC?

    Service dogs are exempt from the 'no pets' rules. That's the law. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    What are your thoughts on a pet friendly DVC?

    Interesting, as I just stayed in a hotel (mid range, not the Ritz) where they proudly announced they they were eliminating the smoking / pet rooms (they were one in the same). I think that trend at the high-end hotels is because their business model is built around giving the customer ANYTHING...

    What if...

    The assumption that Disney is losing lots of money on resales is, IMHO, not shared by all. This, and numerous other threads, was born out of a post referencing a guide who said that future resales would be restricted to home resort use only. No official word from DVC, just a comment from a...

    2013 Dues Analysis

    That is correct. The soon expiring "payroll" tax cut impacted employees only, not employers. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    Boardwalk View

    By "lagoon view" I assume from the title of your post that it is indeed a "boardwalk view". That is a sub-category of the preferred views and is guaranteed. The noise can vary. Early in the evening you have the Boardwalk Buskers (magicians, etc.) who draw small crowds. They are out of there...

    Looks like no changes in restrictions on resales this year?

    Probably not today, but 5 years ago you could have made a few bucks if you had bought resale around 1999-2002 and decided to sell. Maybe not enough to cover the commission, though. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    $399 DVC Premium Annual Pass-Extended?-Speculation

    The current deal on the PAPs is that you must purchase them by 12/31/12 and activate (use) them by 12/31/13. Once you activate them, they are good for a year. So, you could buy them now and start using them next November Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

    Renting Odd Number of Points

    Chances are they have these odd points left over that they forgot to bank and they are looking for somebody who needs just a few points to fill out a reservation. I have seen posts on the R / T board for people looking for 1 - 20 points for example. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards
