    Try for Cabana on Serenity Bay or Family Beach?

    DW and I just placed our deposit for our first cruise ever. We booked a concierge stateroom (Halloween Trip 2019), so we're hoping we have a reasonable change at reserving a stateroom at Castaway Cay. It's just us on this trip, so we think we'd prefer a cabana on Serenity Bay. Most of all...

    VGF Laundry Room ?

    All the pictures of VGF look great! :) I can't wait until my first visit to a studio this December. Does anybody know whether there is a laundry room in the Villa Building at GF, itself? I don't like the idea of carrying all my laundry through the lobby of the Main Buidling, and up to the...

    More VGF Photos (including interior shots)

    I suppose there are many more new photos to come in the near future (wdwinfo.com also posted some new exterior and interior pictures on their blog), but I just found these on youtube. They look great! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTGQJGvvgqQ...

    VGF and 2013 Dues

    Ok, now I understand the September case. Does that mean March use year (which doesn't receive point until March 2014) doesn't pay 2013 dues, and would pat pro-rated (March-December) 2014 dues? This is my specific situation.

    VGF and 2013 Dues

    I'm confused about this. :confused3 If a VGF buyer has a September use year, doesn't that mean they won't receive points until September 2014? But, they'll still have to pay 2013 dues?

    Dream big, live Grand. VGF homeowners' thread.

    Are studios going to be really that tough to book? I'm planning on buying a small number of points, and am mostly just interested in studios. If a studio is unavailable, I probably wouldn't have enough points to even consider a 1-bedroom. Should I reconsider purchasing? (Most of my trips will be...

    GF Gym

    Thank you! I seem to remember the fitness center being relocated to a tent for a while. Maybe that was separate from the spa remodel (or only for a portion of the time the spa was closed).

    GF Gym

    I've done some web searches, but haven't found out very much about GF's new spa. (I think it reopened last December.) Does anyone know if the Spa building still has a gym with treadmills and other workout equipment? If so, is it still available to all GF guests, or just spa customers? If anyone...

    I'm glad you enjoyed your trip! What a great experience for your family! I look forward to rest of your trip report, particularly since DW and I are leaving for our first trip to Japan in two days. Like you, we will be visiting Tokyo and Disney last (after Kyoto and some other areas in...

    Waiting on ROFR …. 32 days and counting

    Hi! It’s now been 32 calendar days since the broker said our contract to purchase a DVC resale was forwarded to Disney for ROFR. The time limit for ROFR isn’t 30 business days, is it? We contacted the broker a few days ago to see if they had any updates. They said they’d e-mail us back, but we...

    Referral Discount Eligibility

    Hello! In 2007, DW and I attended a DVC information session at SSR, and met with an agent at that time. Would this have any impact on our eligibility for the current pricing incentives that require a referral? Thank you!

    Is DVC practical if you generally book on short notice?

    DW and I have are very interested in joining DVC, but are not sure it's right for us given our current circumstances. We'd appreciate any advice you might have for us: We currently live in the Miami area, and make about 3 to 4 weekend trips to Disney each year. If we joined DVC, we'd probably...

    Annual Pass Renewal Question - FL Res. Discount

    Last year, DW and I purchased annual passes, which will be up for renewal in October. We just moved to Florida, and are now eligible for Florida resident rates. Does anyone know which rate we'll have to pay at renewal?: (1) Florida renewal rate; (2) Florida regular rate; (3) non-Florida renewal...

    Splitting Meals at California Grill

    DW and I are thinking of going to one of favorites, California Grill, in the near future. Does naybody know if CG will let you split portions? DW and I would like to share an appetizer (sushi or flatbread), and then share a main course. We'd each have our own glass of wine, and perhaps share a...

    OMG!!!!! Is anyone watching House!!

    Dash, you're only telling half the story. You first had Fish Tacos in the very building the makers of "House" use for exterior shots of the hospital (actually, not a hospital at all, but Princeton University's Frist Student Center). I know since I, your loving DH, was there! Yep, fish tacos...

    Calling all trivia buffs!

    Cranes. Here's a relatively easy one (because I can't think of any questions): Who was never elected as U.S President and Vice President, but served as both?

    Calling all trivia buffs!

    I'm not sure how tricky you're trying to make it!: 1) No Met has ever thrown a no-hitter while wearing a Met uniform 2) Several former Mets have thrown no-hitters after they left the Mets. Hideo Nomo was the most recent, I think. 3) Current Met Pedo Martinez has been involved in no-hit...

    At Dolphin now, lots of problems, who to contact?

    DW and I are currently at the Dolphin and we have had a lot of problems with our stay. I'm not sure what can be done to salvage this stay, since we check-out tomorrow and since I'm not sure who is working today (Christmas Eve), but I really want to express my displeasure to someone "higher up."...
