    13th Annual DVC Christmas Tree Exchange. See you in July 2016!

    I've participated the last few years and really enjoyed it. I'll be staying at BLT this year and I'm hoping that someone is able to coordinate for that resort.

    4th of July fireworks

    I did the same thing last year (2014). We stayed at BLT so we could walk back after the MK fireworks. We watched from Main Street on the bridge near the hub and it was amazing. Main Street does get crowded pretty early. We had a 6:15 dining reservation at the Plaza Restaurant and the hub and...

    DVC buy-in and amortization (a math snooze-fest)

    :thumbsup2 I agree 100%! I make a living being a "numbers" guy and I did not do a full blown financial anylysis prior to purchasing (and adding on several times). There are certain intangibles that you can not assign a value to.

    Booking DLP with DVC Points

    I'm using DVC points to stay at DLP this summer prior to our Med cruise. I was given the option to purchase park passes - it is no longer required. The rate that MS offered was considerably lower than anywhere else I had seen. I beleive that I paid $189USD for a six day pass.

    Aulani dining and excursion reservations

    If you have a car, I would recommend doing Pearl Harbor on your own. That way you can stay as long as you want and see what you want. I would suggest getting there (Pearl Harbor) earlier in the morning to reserve the tours at the times you want.

    AKV Annual Dues - Budget Breakdown Information

    I bought into AKV in 2008 and all I have is the dues breakdown. I also track all the budget line items for all the resorts I own but sadly I do not have the AKV 2008 budget detail. This will help fill in some of you blanks: Operating Budget - 2.7756 Capital Reserves - 0.9651 Ad Valorem...

    Can I Book From DCL

    I would suggest calling MS from your cell phone if possible. It will cost a few bucks per minute but you can be done in only a few minutes. You could probably complete your call in less time than it would take to connect online (with a lot less agrivation as well). If you choose to call, just...

    Founding Membership Point Requirement

    Not true. I was on the fence about purchasing points at BLT (I already owned at SSR and AKV). I was on DCL in Nov 2008 and they still had a few slots available to be founding members. Sales had been going on for a few months and they still had not reached the 1,000 member limit due to lack of...

    borrowing

    Only in the last year of your contract, and by then you probably won't care:rolleyes1. If you are always borrowing 100 points, than you are still only using about 700 per year. For example: In 2012 you borrow 100 from 2013. Your 2013 use year now only has 600 points. If in 2013, you borrow...

    Possible to upgrade WDW DVC Premium Pass to Premier Pass?

    It may be possible but there is no advantage to do so. The Premier Pass is not discounted at all. It cost the same as purchasing a WDW and a DL annual pass. The DVC WDW Premium Pass was discounted significantly and you will lose all that savings if you convert to a Premier Pass.

    Question about those BWV 2BR with no living room balcony

    What floor are those on? I've stayed at BWV several times and never experienced one of those rooms. I have a 2BR Boardwalk View reserved for May and I requested the 2nd floor due to my father's fear of heights. I took him there a few years ago and he loved going out on the balcony. Do I...

    Never got member card -- leaving next week

    I remember hearing that the DVC desk on the 4th floor on the Contemporary could print DVC member cards. Not sure if that is true or not.
