    Some Questions - hotels (Novotel, Marriott), currency

    Thanks for the info on the Marriott. We have reservations there for part of our time in HK and it's nice to know we've made a good choice. :thumbsup2

    5/31/11 -- Chilling on the Wonder

    One our favorite things we've done on other cruises was to rent a car in Skagway and drive up into the Yukon. There is beautiful scenery along the way to gorgeous Emerald Lake, where we turned around. It was 1.5-2 hrs. each way IIRC. Plenty of time to do a leisurely trip with our 12+ hrs...

    5/31/11 -- Chilling on the Wonder

    Hello - DH and I just booked this yesterday. We've done 5 Alaskan cruises before, but this will be our first DCL cruise. We're excited about trying a new cruise line. :banana:

    Has any NON owner gotten AKL concierge?

    When I made our reservations for this December, I specifically asked if Concierge was also available on the 5th floor, as we greatly prefer this location (read - do NOT want any 6th floor unit). MS assured me that we could stay on the 5th floor. :scared:

    Problem booking at HOME?

    That is what I'd pictured us doing. :thumbsup2 Maybe with a sign "Ask us about our DVC vacation!" :rolleyes1

    Will you sell some of your presently owned points for CRV?

    ITA - We can be at WDW for 12-14 days and barely spend 1/2-day at the MK - if at all. I didn't vote as there wasn't a category for: No - not interested at all in buying CRV We're Epcot and AK fans (MGM is ok too). I guess that's why we own BWV and AKV. :woohoo:

    Alaska Cruise

    We have done the Alaskan cruise on Holland America 5x now - never used our points though. We greatly prefer the Vancouver departures as the scenery is much better than on the Seattle sailings. On our 1 Seattle cruise we found that the 2 'at sea' days were - at sea - the mountains were in the...

    BWV October 2008???

    One bedrooms are easier to get than the studios. That may help a bit, but the std. view part will still be the hard part. It seems that BCV and BWV are ones where 'buy where you want to stay' REALLY comes into play. Good Luck!

    You can't book 2 weeks at one time?????

    I don't believe the bolded part of your question has yet been answered. You aren't making 14 reservations, just one. When you first talk to MS, they will note the day you're planning on checking out. AFTER all the days have been added to the reservation, then they will send out the letter for...

    Amazing Race 11 - All Stars (begins 2/18/07)

    I am SO glad to finally get the smug Romber off my screen. Actually, the only reason I've been watching TAR is because I saw from the spoilers that they were out in episode 4. :dance3: I couldn't have put up with them the entire race. :sad2:

    Does anyone go every other year?....

    We don't go every year. Like you, we're in a more Western state, making it harder/more $ to fly to Orlando often. We take longer trips (12 night minimum) to WDW. We do plan our trips so we DO have 2 stays in a 12-mo period, so that we have two trips on 1 AP. It is then a year (or two) before...

    AKV-Preview Ctr.- Studio - Photos

    Thank you for the pictures! I'm LOVING that the floor plans show nightstands on BOTH sides of the studio queen bed. :banana: The placement of the TV has me a bit concerned. IF it is attached flat to the wall/support without the ability to swivel/tilt it won't be terribly...

    Bedside tables in studios

    That is one of the things we love about the new VAK. The floor plans show nightstands on BOTH sides of the studio bed. :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

    What happened to the American Club in Kohler, WI?

    I don't know, but the 5-star Broadmoor Resort in my hometown is also gone from the Concierge Collection. :confused3

    AKV - Preview Ctr - One Bedroom - Photos

    We're loving it! :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 SO glad we added on there, it will be a nice supplement to our BWV points. I showed DH the photos last night. We both agreed that the black appliances look great and that white would have looked 'tacky'. He did see my point about the 'gap' of...

    Any DVC guides here?

    Our guide has lurked in the past (she doesn't have time now), but according to her, DVC Guides are NOT allowed to post (it is in their contract - they wiil be fired). They can NOT even post to other (non-DVC) areas of the DIS. She said that Guides are the only CMs with that limitation. Sorry...

    Booking a Disney Villa (timeshare question)

    FYI - in DVC, 1-br. units are MUCH easier to reserve than 2-br. Good luck.
