    Boulder Ridge Referb

    Glad that this is finally happening. I am giving the Disney decorators the benefit of the doubt that the colors are not as garish as they appear to be in this one picture of a projection. I am more concerned that the room does not look as comfortable as I would have wished. All stiffness and...

    Boulder Ridge Referb

    Hey Ya'll! It is 2023 and we are still having this conversation. We stayed in a 2 bedroom a year and a half ago. Worn out furniture, carpet, and dishwasher leaked. I am still paying monthly dues as I have since 2001 on this resort. Not right.

    Thoughts from a 20 Year DVC Member

    I did not mind FP+ at all, but it did add a layer of pre-planning that had not been there before. As far as paper FP, you are right that you would sprint across the park to get the ones you wanted, and if it was a busy day, or if you tried to get one later in the day, you would get there only to...

    Thoughts from a 20 Year DVC Member

    Agree. When we first bought and our kids were young we spent way more $$ in the parks. Probably Disney wouldn't mind if us old folks sold our contracts! We are vets who know what is worth it to us to spend our vacation money on. Been going to our DVC for so long, it does feel like our vacation...

    Whats up with all the Farting ?

    So glad to see this thread is alive and well. Farting is still an issue everywhere at the parks, but it is better inside now with masks. :tink:

    Why are 2BR lockoffs so popular?

    When we travel with our son and his family, they can get early breakfast for their toddler without waking up whoever is sleeping on the living room pull-out near the main kitchen.

    Thoughts from a 20 Year DVC Member

    Wilderness Lodge is our home, and we love it even though poor Boulder Ridge (original DVC there) is very neglected- hasn't had a full refurb in many years. Have not been to the parks since Genie+, but virtual queue was a bust for us on our last visit. So disappointing to the kids!

    CarolynFH- you are right & you have been on the boards longer than I have! I bet there are lots of archived complaint threads. I remember the ongoing "if we are owners, why don't we get FL Resident pass prices?" DVC finally heard that one, which was great. :flower1:

    Thoughts from a 20 Year DVC Member

    True that like all onsite guests, we have lost out on the perks of extra magic hours. At least DVC still gets to park their cars without paying a fee. That would send me over the edge. I also agree about the booking issues. So many owners now, and many who rent out which changes the game from...

    Don't regret it! We still love our DVC resort after 20 years.

    Thoughts from a 20 Year DVC Member

    Agree 100% that DVC experience is not that much changed except it is harder to book outside of your home resort. We love DVC and have taken trips where we have just enjoyed the resorts and hardly went to the parks. The park experience is much different, however.

    Thoughts from a 20 Year DVC Member

    Feeling nostalgic...Just wanted to commiserate as a long-time DVC mom and now grandma. I am sad that for our family that planning a few days together in WDW has become so complicated- overwhelming is the word that comes to mind. Too much! Feel like we had the best of it in the 90's when our...

    The Pro-Genie App discussion thread - speculate how the app could make your trip next trip great!

    1) No 2) Features that won't cost me tons of money to use. 3) I would be open and excited if this were not hurting anyone. Guessing the OP doesn't have any travel agent friends or family who will be losing out on their commissions due to this app?

    VWL Groupies & Lovers Thread (Special Collectors Edition 2.0) updated 21 June 2023

    We will be there for Thanksgiving week, but will be sticking close to our 2-bedroom "home". That means a LOT of cooking for Mama in the room :0 That is OK- but cannot locate a current list of kitchen equipment that is supplied. Miss those DVC yearly catalogs of yore.... anyway- can anyone of you...

    Not able to get through by phone and no email response re: my reservation that is scheduled for less than 2 weeks from now. Thought by now Member Services would automatically reach out to me.

    Whats up with all the Farting ?

    :rainbow: :rainbow:I agree with the OP! I have noticed a lot of bad, stinky fumes in lines and walking around the parks the last couple of times too. I have been coming to Disney for many years and don’t remember such a noticeable problem before. My conspiracy theory: Disney puts fiber or some...
