We have purchased two resales contracts, and we have found it easy and much cheaper than buying from Disney. We took a tour in Anaheim this last summer and asked them to show us how buying direct would be even close to the same price. They couldn't because it's not. We saved more than 50% with...

We have had great success with the TSS. We just recently purchased our second resale contract (this time BWV). We called our sales rep, and she told us what the high and low price for BWV resales had been in the last six months, and we talked about contracts that had come available lately. We...

Our family visited last year over MLK weekend, and it was not that bad. My wife and daughter were at the MK at rope drop, and they rode Space Mountain twice, got a fast pass for Space Mountain for later, and then rode Big Thunder Mountain. Fireworks were crowded but nothing like Christmas/ New...

We also love the photopass and CD. We have tons of photos taken, and then we place and order for a prepaid CD ($99). It's not a bargain, but it's a fair price. We don't have to take cameras to the parks, and we get to all be in the photos. We also get pictures of just my wife and I with each kid...

We also love January. The DVC points needed are low, and we also enjoy a break from winters in Maine. We are in the middle of our second trip in January (2011 and 2012). Last year (2011) we came for MLK week (about 10 days), and this year (2012) we arrived Dec. 29th (departing Jan. 9th). We...

We spent yesterday (December 30th) are the MK, and we found it very manageable. The park was crowded, but the CMs did an excellent job keeping traffic moving. We watched both the 8:30 Holiday Wishes and the 11:50 "New Years" fireworks. We brought a good attitude and a willingness to wait...

We are at WDW for New Years. We went to MK this morning. Arrived around 10am. It was crowded but not too bad. Rode a couple ride, had lunch a the Plaza, and then came back to the Swan for a nap before going back for fireworks tonight. We checked at the gate and were told that it wouldn't be...

We purchased 250 points (semi-loaded) resale about 14 months ago. We are very happy with our purchase, and we saved about 60% or more over buying direct... We are just about to take our 3rd trip using our points. Last January we treated my wife's parents (OKW 2BR). This December/ January we are...

Has anyone had experience at OKW and the tree houses and SSR? We'll be there in January. We have a router in our owner's locker, but I'd just as soon not repack it if it wasn't needed.

We're happy too.

Thanks. This was/is extremely helpful for me. Sorry that I took me a few days to reply and say thanks. I have traveling on work. It sounds like SVO isn't right for me at this point-- the Platinum status usually gets my family an upgrade to a suite or something similar, and I typically get a lot...

I'm interested in the Starwood properties. We're DVC members and only use our points for Disney properties. We're very happy with our purchase. I am also a Platinum level member of Starwood, and I do a lot of business travel. I thus get upgrades to suites fairly often, and my family enjoys to...

Our family of 5 needs a transfer from MCO to the Swan hotel on December 29th. We have seen some coupon codes from round trips transfers from MCO to WDD, but we only need a one-way transfer. We will be staying at a DVC property following our stay at the Swan, so we will use the Magical Express...

I think that the weather will likely be nice during at least part of your stay to enjoy the Beach Club. We have a family of 5, and we definitely love the extra space. We tend to choose OKW or a 2BR for the space. The location at the BCV will be great. We've visited WDW several times in...

We like buildings 53-56 and 32-33. We've never been able to get a hospitality house reservation (like buildings 11-14), but they look nice too. I think that I'd prefer the location to the others things mentioned in your post. We've always been thrilled with OKW (even in the villas before they...

We called Garden Grocer and asked them what they had on sale. They were not very accommodating at first, but after asking a few ways they gave us the sale prices. They still marked things up $5 or so, but I think that we got Amstel Light on sale for a reasonable price. It was more than we would...

We have kids 13, 11, and 4. We have stayed at OKW 3 times now, so our 11 year-old daughter was 8 the first time she stayed there. She loved it. She loved the pool, and she liked the extra space. We've also stayed at VWL, and she liked that too. However, she prefers the 1 BR at OKW to the 1BR at...

I agree with everyone who says deluxe resort. We only do the dining plane for one day at a time because it's too much food. Disney stopped allowing people to segment stays, so we can't do that anymore. The deluxe dining plan is way too much food for us even in January. We stayed at OKW in May...

For once we also had good timing. We segmented two days on our January stay and already bought the DDP for two different days. We'll use TIW the rest of the time, and it sounds like this will be our last segmented stay...

I'd buy at OKW or SSR for almost a 1/3 of the price and take my chances at booking at 7 months if I didn't like OKW or SSR. My family loves OKW, and we're going to try the THV this trip too. $142 is a lot of money when other resorts are selling for the mid to low $50s.
