    Magic Kingdom a Bust last week

    Just got back from 11 days at OKW this afternoon, and we were actually surprised that MK was fairly manageable (with one exception). Of course, we took full advantage of early entrance (wasn't easy with 3 tired kids and 2 tired parents) but we did MK 3 times and did Dumbo, Peter Pan, Mad Tea...

    Interval International - Hawaii or Key West

    I'm not really concerned about that, it would be a good opportunity to teach tolerance anyway. I'm bumping this back up in the hopes that the morning folks will have information. Anyone? -- "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." -- Ken Olson, president, chairman and...

    Interval International - Hawaii or Key West

    We have a week banked at II from when we bought our OKW resale, and are considering spending a week in Hawaii (Kauai or Hawaii, not Maui) or Key West next (2002) April. I'm wondering if anyone's used II weeks there, and if so, could make some recommendations. Specifally, we're looking for a...

    $73.55 per point

    First, let me start off by saying that I've been using eBay pretty much since its inception, and have had only one or two minor problems. Now, first of all, what's this nonsense about not being able to cancel an auction that's already received a bid? I've done it a couple of times - once when I...

    There is exactly one resale available at the Timeshare Store's website!!

    One of the timeshares listed as "pending" at TSS is ours (as buyer), we put in an offer that was $8.00 less per point than the listing price, and it was accepted with almost no haggling. -- "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." -- Ken Olson, president, chairman and...

    DVC vs. paying for your stay: what's the difference?

    I'm going to bump this back up because I suspect that a lot of people here could answer it, but I'm going to rephrase, since Eva didn't really answer what I was asking (but thanks for responding anyway). Suppose I dropped you off in a studio at OKW or Boardwalk and said "have a good time, see...

    Staying at DxL on points, will I be charged for...

    You'd be surprised how long ice will stay frozen in a Styrofoam cooler. Last year we went down and stayed in Coronado Springs. We used a standard Thermos (brand) large plastic cooler, replaced the ice daily, and kept everything cold for our entire stay. With Styrofoam (or polystyrene) you can...

    Monetary value of DVC package: when will it start going down?

    I know that the primary purpose of buying into DVC is to enhance your and your family's vacations. However, DVC is also an investment, and as such, should at least be somewhat subject to a cost analysis to determine its value over the life of the package (if, for example, you decide a few years...

    DVC vs. paying for your stay: what's the difference?

    I apologize if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't think of any good keywords to search for... Since Disney offers stays in OKW and BWV via normal channels (i.e. paying cash), how does this differ from using your points? Are they the same set of rooms, or is one part of the resort set aside for...

    Owning Boardwalk vs. Old Key West: advantages/disadvantages?

    We're currently considering the purchase of a DVC resale. We have offers on packages in both OKY and Boardwalk. The Boardwalk package is $1.50 more per point. I know that maintenance at Boardwalk is $.60 more per point. We already own points at OKY. Other than allowing us to get 11-month...
