    Is it normal to he terrified of a balcony room?

    As other posters have mentioned the balconies are quite safe but since your child is a climber don't forget about the balcony furniture. If he decides to climb on it he may be closer to the top of the railing than you'd feel confortable with. If you believe the furniture would be a concern...

    9/11 Memorial- Reservations Required!!

    We spent a weekend in NYC just before Christmas and found all the times on the dates we were in the City were booked as well. I kept checking the website and sure enough large blocks of available times opened up a few days before we were to arrive. Using the same strategy, my nephew traveling...

    DIS DVC 1000 Point Club (post #1 updated 02/10/2023)

    I'd say 95% of our stays were at OKW and the breakdown looked much like this: 3% Studios (Almost always gifted stays to our nieces and nephews) 67% One Bedroom Villas (Usually when traveling just me and DW) 20% Two Bedroom Villas (Usually when staying with invited family or friends) 10%...

    DIS DVC 1000 Point Club (post #1 updated 02/10/2023)

    Nicely done, I'm impressed. We've been retired since the Summer of 2008 and we no longer feel the need to vacation at WDW. That is the primary reason we sold our memberships. If the need to vacation at WDW returns we may very well rent a house off site or possibly even consider becoming...

    DIS DVC 1000 Point Club (post #1 updated 02/10/2023)

    Hello JimC. Please take us out of the club. We recently sold all 1675 points and the last of our 11 contracts closed late last week. We know at least one of our contracts was purchased by another DisBoard poster and I hope they enjoy them as much as we have. Here are a few stats for...

    Dream Cruisers - How much did she rock?

    Our first cruise on the Dream was our eight on DCL and we thought the Dream had a bit more motion than the Wonder or the Magic in similar sea conditions. On the first night of our 3/6 cruise we guessed the stabilizers were out of service for some reason since it was rocking quite a bit more...

    I'll confess - I haven't read through the 2700 posts. I have a friend who might consider a villa rental at Wyndham Bonnet Creek. Who is best able to manage a 7 night rental in a 3 bedroom villa? Thank you.

    DVC Member Count

    I remember seeing official DVC literature listing the total membership as well as a breakdown of the number of memberships by State and by Country. Has anyone seen anything like this in recent years?

    Congratulations on the upgrade. Be sure to come back after the cruise to let us know if you win something else:goodvibes. Have a great time.

    Brent update

    I completely agree with this. After 7 DCL cruises I've not once interacted with a CD. I don't know why I would have a need to do so. It's possible I suppose that we're just too busy to look for him to answer questions we might have or to ask for some type of special assistance from him...

    What are the most points you ever used booking one trip?

    508 for us. Nicely done. Makes my 508 seem amateurish. :laughing:

    I feel SICK! Please tell me this is a glitch and our trip is not gone!!

    I rent some of our points out from time to time and I do the same thing. Whenever I'm away from Internet access for more than 1 day I notify the families who are renting from us so they don't get alarmed if I don't reply to a message in a timely manner. To me this is just common courtesy...

    I feel SICK! Please tell me this is a glitch and our trip is not gone!!

    The owner has every right to be upset...with himself...for not replying to any of the 3 emails you've sent him over the last month! There is no reason whatever for you to feel bad about reaching out to others on the DIS or for the Webmaster contacting him on your behalf. You did nothing...

    Odds of getting an upgrade on first cruise

    We were upgraded on our first DCL cruise from a cat 3 to the Roy Cat 1 suite. No, no special occasion noted on the reservation. Our travel agent (AAA at the time) called us about 2 weeks before the sail date and ASKED if we would accept the upgrade. We were very grateful for the offer and...

    Has a DCL Europe cruise ever included Venice??

    An itinerary with Athens and Santorini on it would be great.

    NH DVC'ers?

    Living in Maine now (Portland) but we'll be in NH before too long since we have land in Meredith where we'll build our dream home in possibly 2011 but likely in 2012. We purchased at OKW in 1995 and have been extremely pleased with our decision from day one. I recently did an analysis of our...
