    Thunderstorm yesterday at WDW and the mahem that insued

    (1) Yes, they found a way to do it in California. We'll just ignore the fact that CA has a completely different setup, traffic flow and parking than DTD in FL. (2) An express line without a human or with a human? Seems to me it has to be with a human (so that the person can see the onsite...

    Thunderstorm yesterday at WDW and the mahem that insued

    Nobody asking for a parking fee to be instituted at DTD, validation or not, has yet been able to explain how it could work on a practical level. Every car that leaves has to pay their ticket? There is no way the parking lot could handle the backup. Everyone coming in has to get a ticket...

    Services are being stripped

    Generally, I would agree with the point here. While new hotels generally do not drive park attendance, however, there are those of us who visit WDW regularly who happen to be at the parks on certain occasions precisely because we wanted to stay at the new hotel and check it out (see Bay Lake...

    Thunderstorm yesterday at WDW and the mahem that insued

    Judging from the time the cars arrive, and in what sectors of parking fill up first at DTD, I suspect your estimate of people doing this is too high. Unless, of course, the people that do this are a late arriving crowd. Regardless, even 100 parking spaces is pretty much nothing compared to the...

    Buying Resale - How to value the available points?

    I think $10 per point for these extra points is way too high to value them for purposes of purchasing them resale. In reality, I think it is somewhere in the $2-5 area, meaning that a stripped contract at SSR that would sell for $65 per point may sell for up to $67-70, but there is no way that...

    Divorce and DVC

    I agree with getting out of this. There is no way that people should share a DVC contract when they are divorced. You are divorced for a reason. Sell the contract and buy your own.

    Services are being stripped

    It's not everywhere...mine have actually gone down and I am paying quite a bit less than I was three years ago (from the same insurer, no less). If you haven't shopped around and have just accepted increases from your insurer, you may be surprised at what you can save. You may even find out...

    Services are being stripped

    I think I may be missing your point, because I am not sure how this affects my view. Are you saying that I may have had problems but that they were so minor that I didn't classify them as problems? :confused3 Let's try this again...I have not had a problem. I don't get it. For me, as...

    Services are being stripped

    Why should I consider myself fortunate to get what I paid for and not have a problem? Shouldn't the people who have had the problems consider themselves unfortunate? The fact that I haven't had a problem during one of my stays does not mean I look at Disney and DVC through rose colored...

    Services are being stripped

    I think this is just completely unrealistic. I have always considered anything under 30 minutes pretty good for room service. After all, they have to actually prepare the food. My state of the union is apparently completely different from your state of your union. We go to Disney a lot...

    Let the wedding drama begin.. What to do when people invite themselves????

    My situation was definitely different. I was just demonstrating the control we had over our wedding, and that we made no apologies for it. It didn't affect our relationships in the slightest...the people knew they shouldn't have been late. Frankly, even if they would have had a problem with...

    Help Please- AP or not

    It's impossible to tell because you haven't mentioned how long your trip is, how many days you are going to the parks, etc.

    New v Resale

    Have owned at SSR for the past three years, take multiple trips per year, and have yet to stay at SSR. I simply can't fathom paying $110 per point for BLT when SSR is selling for $70. If you were traveling at peak times, then it might be different, but I can't get behind the "buy where you...

    Let the wedding drama begin.. What to do when people invite themselves????

    We were very proprietary about our wedding, and made no apologies for it. Why be nervous that someone you don't want to come may crash? Tell her she isn't coming, if she does go to WDW it will be a complete waste of her time, and that's that. I would recommend NOT making any excuses for...

    Need your advice. What would you do?

    I don't know...my SSR resale add-on was also 30 days from offer to being closed and in the system. Don't underestimate that these sellers in resale really want their money, as most are selling for economic reasons, so they are more motivated than ever to get their stuff back in as soon as...

    Emerald Reserve?

    If you're an Emerald Club member, you're better off reserving a midsize and paying less. By reserving a midsize, you are able to take any car from the Emerald Aisle, which usually has a lot of full size cars and/or an SUV or minivan or two.

    Curious as to what most dvc'ers would do...

    Agree completely. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. I would stick with what you have. Further, I am not sure how many posters here have actually considered the points involved. It's really hard to guess based on the info you have given, but 4 weekday nights in a 1BR LV at...

    Curious as to what most dvc'ers would do...

    Seriously? I laughed out loud when I read this....I would think it is impossible to determine this without knowing the people involved and a bit of group therapy with them.:rotfl2:
