    Are there ever promotional discounts for DVC members?

    I see that the dining plan is now being offered as part of a package for late August. This, unfortunately, does not apply to DVC plans. Does anyone know if WDW ever had promotional discounts for the dining plan and/or tickets for DBC members? I am aware that the AP rates are already discounted...

    BCV room quality

    My home resort is OKW and we just booked BCV for the first time. A friend stated that they had a not - so - great experience at this resort because their room had not been updated and was not in "Disney" condition. Has anyone else experienced this at BCV? If so, when was it? And does anyone...

    Amazon Pantry and DVC

    I've been told that some DVC members have used Amazon's Pantry service to order some of their groceries in lieu of shopping locally. I use Amazon all the time, so the concept intrigues me. However, I have a few questions: - How far ahead should I order? Can I specify a delivery date when I...

    Phone issues?

    Today is day 180 for my upcoming trip and I cannot get in touch with DD or any WDW number. Anyone know what's going on? Did their switchboard have a meltdown?

    Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue vs. HS Frozen

    Thanks for the replies and link. It seems that Frozen package is less favored. It seems that it's mostly "preferred" versus "exclusive". We will try and get as many Frozen events in while we are at HS, but we opted for HDDR as our special event this year.

    Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue vs. HS Frozen

    Every year we do 1 special big event on our WDW trip. This year we have been considering the HS Frozen event package. A few years ago we did the HDDR and loved it. I am looking for some insight on the new Frozen package so we can decide between the two. Anyone?

    Kona Cafe / Wishes

    Made a reservation for Kona tomorrow night during the wishes show. Does anyone know if they work your meal around the show like they do at Narcoosies? Is it acceptable to leave during your seat time to go view the show? Also, do you have a view to wishes from the Polynesian without having to...

    Tables in Wonderland

    Is that the standard way of getting the card? I didn't see anything in particular on the website. If they keep them right at GR, then I have my answer.

    Tables in Wonderland

    I am a new DVC member and just purchased our annual passes. Now I am trying to get the TIW card. However, I cannot seem to get through on the phone. The number given to me by DVC is (407) 566-5858. I get a very long recording about the program and then sent to voice mail. Is there a...

    Car Rental

    We are flying into Tampa (cheaper than MCO) in November and staying at DVC for 9 days. However, we only need a rental car to and from the airport (and to get groceries on the way there). Is there any way to rent a car at the airport, drop it off somewhere in WDW, and do the same in reverse? It...

    Moving Groceries

    Getting ready to embark on our first DVC vacation next month. The trip is split between OKW and SS. When we leave OKW, how can I get my purchased groceries to SS? Not sure if we are renting a car or using the Magical Express.

    Driving from NJ (and surrounding states)

    Sounds like the early start and layover somewhat close to Orlando is the popular choice. Driving the overnight is not for us. We did that a number of years ago to Myrtle Beach and I was wasted for almost 2 days. Any recommendations as to where the layover point should be? Clean, yet inexpensive...

    Driving from NJ (and surrounding states)

    In the past we have gone to WDW annually on late August and flown from Atlantic City to MCO. Although a family of 5 can be expensive, we have generally done well with airfare by catching last minute specials. This year we purchased DVC (OKW) and are intending to drive from NJ to WDW (airfare is...

    Timeshare Resales

    Yesterday I received my letter from DVC giving me my membership number. I have since created my profile and made a reservation. Timeshare Resales USA was legitimate, as was Timeshare Resales Closing Services. However, the communication from TRU was less than stellar and TRCS was just slightly...

    Which moderate resort is your favorite and why?

    Caribbean Beach. It has the largest rooms of the moderates, the best themed pool, and is the most colorful. They also have numerous bus stops, so you're never far away from transportation.

    New Member questions

    My closing finally went through on 270 OKW and is listed on the Orange County Comptroller's website. So we are finally DVC owners (took long enough). So, as the new kids on the block, I have a few questions: When purchasing annual passes (we plan to go more than once a year), how is this...
