    Yacht club balcony light

    Yes there is! Unscrew the lampshade until you can reach the bulb. Bulbs no longer get hot these days as they tend to be of the low energy type. You can then unscrew them a bit until they go off. Please ensure that you put them back to how you found them before checking out.

    Hi Guys Many thanks for your replies. The concert is Virtuosi di Venezia: Vivaldi and Opera, beginning 8:30pm at Ateneo di San Basso, Piazza San Marco. I'll try and look out for you on the ship - perhaps we should wear name badges. Best wishes Nick

    Mediterranean Cruise 25 July 2013 - anyone planning on going to a concert in Venice?

    Hi Everyone Are there any experts out there on transportation in Venice? We are hoping to go to an evening concert in Venice on 31 July. We are getting very confused about how to return from St Marks Square to the Disney Magic after the concert (at about 10:30pm): The Disney excursion...

    Every third year?

    Actually you can use your membership to go every FOUR years, if you plan it just right. Say you have enough points for a one-week stay: Year 1: Bank Year 2: Stay the last 3 weeks of your use year using banked points, year 2 points and borrowed year 3 points. Also stay for the first week...

    Rental Warning Letter

    Hi Everyone I have just received a warning letter from DVC that the use of points for rental can result in "disciplinary action" including "termination" of the contract. It was ambiguous as to whether or not this was only because I obtained a cast members discount when I originally purchased...

    The Weather

    We have been to WDW for many years using our DVC membership and always in April. Part of the attraction for us has been the wonderful weather. Next year we are aiming to go in late June/early July. All I can see on the weather reports are heavy thunderstorms.:eek: Is it always like this...

    Purchasing BCV versus BWV? Pros and Cons?

    There were lots of threads about the fact that after BWV, all future DVC resorts would have the a/c motion detectors. That's why I bought at BWV just before it originally sold out. However I have never stayed at any other DVC resort so cannot confirm this from personal experience.

    Purchasing BCV versus BWV? Pros and Cons?

    A couple of additional factors, no-one else has yet mentioned: BWV swimming pool is better for serious distance swimmers (38 lengths = 1 mile). BWV rooms have A/C which doesn't have to detect movement in order to stay on. Both of the above factors, made all the difference for me...

    Woken up by beeping vehicles at BWV

    As a result of this I sent an email from within the DVC website. To my surprise, I was telephoned by someone from DVC yesterday (Sunday!) who apologised for the disturbance and said that he would contact BWV to see if something could be done. It will be interesting to hear from someone...

    Woken up by beeping vehicles at BWV

    Just back from a week at BWV and we had a fantastic time. One issue, though, is this: We were in the standard view rooms that overlook the parking lot and tennis courts and we were woken up every night at around 4-5 am by service vehicles beeping (presumably the beeping is a warning beep...

    Has Disney ever made a mistake in calculating a member's points balance?

    Ever since joining DVC I have kept careful track of my points with a spreadsheet. For the first time in 5 years there is a slight issue: my spreadsheet is telling me that I have 190 points left in my current use year but Disney tell me I have only 183 points. I am not too concerned about a...
