    Securring tv/vcr in vehicle?

    Does the back side open somehow or is there just a hole for the cord to plug into the cigarette lighter? Is appears to be used by sitting it on top of the console. Has anyone tried to use it in an auto that does not have a console? I have a Honda Odyssey which has the space between the...

    Character Caravan

    We visited in October and December of 2002. There were SO MANY opportunities to visit with characters, more than ever in our past visits. I vaguely remember reading about this (don't recall if there was a specific reason on Disney's part) but it was great having so many chances to see the...

    What do you tip housekeeping?

    We've stayed four to six days at any DVC resort at a time. I try to remember to leave tip on T&T day, but at least once forgot and left it when we checked out. We barely use the kitchen and also clean up behind ourselves. I think housekeeping should get a little something, but nothing like...

    Our First Trip Home!

    While I have stayed at WL a few years ago, I have not yet stayed at the villas at WL. One of my best friends, however, absolutely adores that resort and she is now buying WVL through Disney and utilizing the "new and improved" Magical Beginnings. We might spend a couple of days there on our...

    Great Aerial shots of BCV and other resorts.

    Thanks for posting these. It really helps to get straight the layout to see actual photos and not simply the "not to scale" type of drawings. Very cool!!

    Old Key West

    I don't have my Passporter in front of me, but my recollection of their poll of visitors to OKW indicated that 90+% "loved" it, and a small fraction "liked it well enough" but zero were in the lower two categories which are more negative. We have stayed at OKW three or four times. I have...

    Picture of BCV studio?

    Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much, Granny and StephenKay!

    How many DVCers own points at more than one home resort?

    I don't know how different we are in this area, but we specifically wanted both different resorts and different use years. It is helpful in getting 11 month reservations at both. And not having to worry so much about taking a trip towards the end of a use year as would happen if we just had...

    Picture of BCV studio?

    Somewhere I have seen a good picture of a studio room at Beach Club Villa. By that, I mean one with a shot that encompasses most of the room -- bed, sofa, smaller table and chairs and balcony. I have been looking on the DVC site and wdwig but have only located pics of very small areas of...

    Towels

    I think that this would be a much better way to handle this!

    Towels

    In the first place, I have not said that I should have an unlimited supply. I said it seems more economical for all to make more towels available than to pay for someone to wash three towels. Second, others have indicated that employees of DVC have indicated they may use pool towels, so it...

    Disney's ROFR on a resale

    That is VERY interesting. I don't know about the $66 figure, but the source who told me that Disney is definitely going to up the heat on resales is reputable, and I anticipate a lot of resales going back to Disney. We'll see......

    Concierge Thoughts.........................

    I actually posted on this very issue on another board on DIS. It gets old when someone posts and gets blasted because someone disagrees. There can't seem to be any understanding of another perspective and respect for another person, people just take it personally and say very ugly things...

    Urgent: Leaving tommorow: VWL Transportation to MK via Boat with Stroller

    I have not yet seen anyone required to collapse a stroller on a boat, ALTHOUGH if it were peak season or the boat was packed you might be asked to do so. Usually there is enough room to just roll them on and off. Someone else may have a different experience, perhaps on a different size or...

    DVC Pool Question

    I don't get your first sentence AT ALL. Did you read my posts? I stated that there were numerous serious pool injuries before you posted that, so my comment should have clearly related to the OPINIONS you stated, not the lone fact you have now repeated, that I already mentioned. I do not...

    DVC Pool Question

    But again, I think that the difference is the whole point of the OKW pool situation. Most of them are small and quiet. Easy to monitor and not too much opportunity for accidents as happen with slides and diving boards. My family spends sooo much time at pools and we've had this discussion...

    DVC Pool Question

    You are entitled to your opinion, and sorry if an opposing one bothers you. I again state mine, which is that the mere presence of a lifeguard does not make a significant difference to me. Correct me if I am wrong, but YOU said that you would not take your child to a resort pool without a...

    DVC Pool Question

    I don't have such strong feelings against having a lifeguard to protect everyone. I was responding to the complaint that OKW does not have lifeguards, and what I perceived (per my use of the term "seem to be...") that some of the people who complained about OKW not having more "stuff" --...
