    VB 2013 Information & Adoration Thread ---CLOSED---

    Does anyone know what condition the beach at VB is in? We were there in December 2011 and there was relatively no beach below an 8 foot cliff due to erosion. Also heard from some Floridians that the coastline in that area took a beating during hurricane Sandy. Would appreciate hearing from...

    boardwalk luna pool playground

    You may want to call Member Services or the Boardwalk to find out. We called them asking if Leaping Horse Libations would be closed as part of the pool refurbishment, and were told yes - the entire area will be walled off.

    DenLo - I would be happy to post a few photos - just not sure how to upload them. It seems like they have to be hosted on a website somewhere?

    Hi Sue! Firstly, congrats on your anniversary, and have fun planning your trip! Being completely honest, my wife and I didn't feel out of place at all. Yes, there are plenty of kids around, and many things geared toward children, but everything is there for a couple to enjoy themselves too...

    Great point Vicky! We own at BLT as well and would love to be able to enjoy the Top of the World Lounge no matter where we're staying. But if that keeps it "exclusive", I guess that's a price we're willing to pay.

    Our DVC Guide was actually the first to suggest that we write Member Satisfaction, and she also said that the more members who express a similar concern, the more seriously they will take it.

    We rented a 2 door Jeep Wrangler throught Budget Car Rental for 9 days. The website quoted a price of $300, but it got much closer to $400 after Hawaii taxes were added on. Throw in a GPS, and we were about $480 all said and done. There were probably better deals out there. Thanks for the...

    Bill - thanks for your reply. We are definitely getting in touch with DVC Satisfaction. Even if they can't do anything for us, we're hoping they'll be more sensitive to DVC'ers going there in the future! Mike

    Hi Sammie - we have seen many, many corporate events during our stays at WDW, but never experienced that it impacted our ability to enjoy a part of the resort. That was the new experience for us this time at Aulani.
