    Verifly documentation and attestation query

    Thanks so much for the heads up! Will see how we get on with tests and uploading tomorrow! Can't wait for our trip 8-) but could do without the added stress :headache:!

    Verifly documentation and attestation query

    Thanks for this. I still think they could make it a bit easier by allowing you to upload the vaccination certificates earlier so they can at least be verified, and merely leaving the tests to be uploaded the day before. When there is a family of 5 travelling it is all a bit (too) stressful!

    Verifly documentation and attestation query

    Interested to hear of experiences of travellers using Verifly for Covid requirements entry to USA. As from 0:00 hrs today we could start uploading documents on the app for our Aer Lingus flight on 11/06. As however the "attestation" (confirming a negative test) is the first thing you have to...

    ***The Official AKV Owners And Lovers Thread***. Come And Chat

    Can't wait to return to AKV Kidani with the family in June this year after 7 years absence! 2020 visit was (understandably) cancelled but didn't think we would have to wait another 2 years before being able to rearrange - so🤞!!. This is the first time in 2 bed that we will need to make use of...

    What can I do about my upcoming August DVC points?

    We are in same position for our cancelled June trip with 360 points banked from use year Dec 2018 now expiring 30 November 2020. I have placed them with David's and although I have been successful in renting these previously, I am not holding out much hope this time! I wasn't aware of the RCI...

    Magic Bands, Family & Friends. Confused or getting old.....!

    Thanks. Yes of course - now it's coming back to me! I am still a bit confused about "sharing the planning" as following my daughter accepting my invite to do this she now appears on my Family & Friends list as "People I do not have plans with" - which really does not make any sense to me. Will...

    Magic Bands, Family & Friends. Confused or getting old.....!

    It is a few years since we have been so I may have forgotten how these things work! We are heading to AKV Kidani on 6 June 2020 and have two linked reservations as my daughter's boyfriend is is coming along this time. I ordered our (complimentary) Magic Bands last month and received the email...

    Two Room Reservation

    Thanks for your responses - most appreciated. There are plenty of 2 bed savannah and standard studios close to each other on both trails/each floor so fingers crossed. As we are coming from UK we are there for 2 weeks so would like to think that DVC will also appreciate this point. Our previous...

    Two Room Reservation

    So we are heading back to AKV in June next year and for the first time since purchasing DVC in 2007 we are looking to reserve two rooms!! A two bed Savannah View and a Standard View Studio. Can anyone suggest the best "request" to ensure that our rooms are close together (preferably across the...

    Kayak at Hilton Head with Disney

    We were there in October last year and for my daughters 17th birthday on 21st we decided to go kayaking (although we had no real previous experience we are quite adventurous). My wife decided she didn't want to go so myself and two daughters 17 & 13 booked single kayaks at the Disney Guest...

    Paypal - payment arriving in dollars, to withdraw in pounds?

    Like you we have just rented points out through DVR for the first time since buying DVC (will definitely do it again as it was so easy). When I opened the PayPal account I opened both £ and $ accounts. The money went straight into the $ account as expected with the converted £ value also quoted...

    Concierge Boston...what are my chances? & Cape Cod info...

    Unfortunately the resorts in CC on the Concierge list only permit week long stays - which is a shame as they did look nice. I have never rented points before but may need to do so in the future as the kids get older. Looking at DIS site it does seem rather scary however, particularly when you...

    Concierge Boston...what are my chances? & Cape Cod info...

    I have just booked our vacation flights to Boston,MA, for July 2016 (family of four). I was able to reserve Concierge Collection, Nine Zero Hotel using points but only for first 3 nights of our stay (looks beautiful!). Would have liked another 2 nights added at start or at at end (28/29th) of...

    ADR email confirmation vanishes....!

    After meeting up with friends - who will be in Orlando at the same time as my family (October) - I made an ADR via MDE for Boma at AKL (we are staying at Kidani our home resort as DVC members). Reservation was for 8 people on 11th Oct at 20.45. The email confirmation arrived immediately but...

    AKV to Hilton Head

    Looking forward to our October vacation which is 9 nights at AKV (our home resort) and then 7 nights at HHI resort. First time we have done this as we usually spend our whole vacation at AKV. We will be driving to SC on the middle Saturday - which seems to take 5 to 6 hours - and then back to...

    AKV & Hilton Head in October

    So here's my thoughts! We usually use our points every 2 to 3 years spending 2 weeks+ at our home resort of AKV (Kidani) in the month of October. Coming from Scotland it's a great time to go as our schools have 2 weeks holidays + the weather in Orlando is great and crowds are quite low. We...

    Looks like a DIY booking for us from Aberdeen

    No that's right as you are on a domestic flight. Newark immigration was very quick but we may just have been lucky.

    Looks like a DIY booking for us from Aberdeen

    We have always previously used BA via Gatwick but as BA no longer fly from Aberdeen to Gatwick it is a real pain. So this year (we just got back last week) we used United from Edinburgh via Newark (NY) which worked really well. Although United did change our return flight from MCO to Newark to...
