Hi everyone, First a big thanks to all who post on these boards. I really enjoyed reading up on SSR before my stay, and appreciated everyone's feedback, so here is mine:) This was our first stay at SSR (rented points), but we have previously stayed at OKW and other non-DVC Disney resorts...

Just another neighbor (Cary, NC) saying hello! Wanted to let you know that no matter how cold it is in Orlando at the moment, the weather has to be better than back home right now, where it is windy, rainy, cold and ugly...so it could be worse;) I'm looking forward to your continued report -...

Interesting thread. I'm not sure how it got off track into the value-bashing/deluxe-bashing conversation, since folks seem to be listing why they do/do not stay at certain resorts, and that's what the thread is supposed to be all about. Myself - I have stayed at a value and wouldn't again, for...

I would vote for the WL, b/c it is on the lake, and it is better located.

It was a few years ago, but my husband and I had one of the best meals of our life at Artist Point. Wonderful food, exceptional service, casually elegant and relaxed atmosphere. Just perfect!

Thank you for your responses:) I think we will first see if we can check out the rooms on our own by asking at the front desk, and hopefully that will work out. I hate to take up a salesperson's time since we really will not/cannot buy this year (as much as I'd like to!). This way, though...

We have rented twice from two different people - once in 2004 and now for a trip in January 07. The first went totally smoothly and the second has as well so far. It has really been a terrific experience for us, and I feel so bad for folks that have been burned on either end. I think I felt...

Trebor - Quick follow-up question. I understand why (with the current promos) someone should buy SSR directly from Disney, but why did you recommend buying BCV from Disney as well? This is good info for someone who is considering possibly buying at BCV in the future:)

Hi folks, My husband and I currently rent points, but are considering buying in the future (within a few years, but not this year). So, we are going to be staying at SSR this January, and we would like to check out some of the other DVC properties while we are there. We are pretty certain...

I think that most renters are comparing the savings of renting to staying at a Disney resort, not to buying into the DVC. Renting is definitely cheaper than paying rack rates to stay onsite, so it is a great deal. Also, the initial cost of joining the DVC is significant, and beyond many folks'...

Hi folks - My husband and I arrive on Jan. 1st mid-day, and were planning to go to MK that day...until I read that that is a very busy day. So, will we be better off at another park, or are they all going to be equally busy? Allison

I used to work at Muppets during the College Program...I feel like I have seen that show a million times! ;) This is a great show, very funny, nothing scary and touching you other than bubbles and Fozzy spraying some water from a flower on his shirt as I recall. But, it does have some loud...

I thought I would add this here, in case anyone else was looking for winery recommendations, but I can say that, without a doubt, Del Dotto is a must-do if you are in Napa. When we went on our trip this past spring, I kept reading about this winery's cave tours, and everyone kept repeating that...

This has been a really interesting thread. I love staying on-site, and have only been dissappointed in the All-stars. The theming seemed garish and loud. Our favorite by far is the Wilderness Lodge, mainly because it is just gorgeous, the theming is wonderful, and it is on the water. Having...

Now that the dining plan has been released for 2007 (or will be soon), I have a question. I am renting points for a January trip - how do I add the dining plan if I can't call Member Services anymore? Does the member have to do it, or can I add it by calling another number? Allison

MK and EPCOT WYR eat at Mama Melrose's or Prime Time Cafe?

Hi, I found this thread interesting and just thought I would share my .02 as well. I think the idea of high school seniors going on spring break or a graduation trip with parents in the general vicinity is a smart idea. There is the issue of liability, plus I think that this is a good way for...

Spaceship Earth cause I am a wimp! WYR go to WDW for one long trip or two short ones in the same year?

Sent an email yesterday - sorry I forgot to post a message then! :)
