The Poly is my absolute favorite. The only downside to being a Vacation Club member is that I can never justify using points or paying cash for the Poly. We pool hop there at least once a stay, just to relax and take in the atmosphere. And I agree with a previous poster, I too would take 10...

Just a note to let you know that the 8/15 cruise referenced above was supposed to be an eastern, but due to storms, was changed to a western itinerary. That may be causing some of the confusion. Mike

We were on the Magic last week and while I found Grand Cayman and Cozumel to be bland and lacking in scenery, the double dip and the great weather more than made up for it.:) Having done an Eastern cruise before, I now know that I have no interest in the Western Carribean going forward, so at...

One thing to consider. If you can cruise the latter half of August, the prices decrease significantly. That's my two cents. Mike

According to AllEars.net, Disney officially announced in January that River Country is permanently closed. What a shame. This was my favorite water park. The rides may not have been the fastest or the latest technology, but the atmosphere was the best. I will miss going down to the old...

I usually request a certain view and floor when I make my ressie. If it is not available, I just take whatever they give me. I figure it can't hurt to put in the request, but I check in fully expecting not to get my request. Maybe someday I will be happily suprised, but it is not a big...

If a train leaves Chicago at 1pm travelling east at 60 mph and another train leaves New York at 2pm travelling west at 55mph........ This is why I will only add-on contracts with the same use year that I already have. I have as much luck juggling these use year things as I did with the...

There should be some Boardwalk points coming available soon. When SSR is up and running, the sales center will be moved over there and the existing sales center will be converted back to boardwalk rooms. This is per a conversation I had with a sales rep at the boardwalk one morning in August...

At 35, this poll is making me feel like a young'n :eek:

I am one of the New Yorkers who were crazy enough to fly down to WDW to buy into BCV before the points went up in price. Of course it made no sense for my wife to go and pay two airfares, so I am the only one on the deed. My question is: What is involved in adding her to the deed and what...

We use our points on Fridays and Saturdays. I tried the hotel shuffle once and found it to be more trouble than it was worth, I like the feeling of knowing when we check in that we are all set for the next week and a half. Maybe when the kids are bigger, we will move, but right now it's...

We find that 10 or 11 nights works best for us. We drive and usually leave on Friday, arriving on Saturday in Daytona Beach for two nights. We check in on Monday at WDW which has us checking out on the following Thursday or Friday. That gets us back on Friday or Saturday, leaving a day or two...

We have borrowed all but a few of next year's points. 2004 will be a year off from Disney for us. The way we calculated our points when we bought was for us stay about 10 nights in a 1 bedroom, two out of every three years. We went in 10/2002 and are going in Aug. this year, then it's time...

We stayed at the Adams Mark in October before heading over to WDW. Right on the beach and in the middle of all the action. We were very pleased and are staying there again in August before our next WDW stay. You can make revervations and see the room types on www.adamsmark.com. It's a little...

The Lake Buena Vista Course is the one that plays along side OKW. It's fairly challenging but not as difficult as some of the others on property. It's my personal favorite at WDW. Mike

Still waiting in NY. Really looking forward to something new to read. Starting to wonder if I'll get either. Mike

I am all for building, as long as there is a demand. My concern is that as more resorts are built without direct access to the parks (ie. EP and DI), a high percentage of the people who buy there will actually want to stay in locations with park access (ie. BWV, BCV, WLV), thus making the...

We just bought DVC this year and based our purchase on approximately 10 nights per trip including weekends. For our first trip we are staying Tuesday to Friday for 10 nights and don't want to deal with the hassle of moving out and back in to save points. We live far enough away that we...

Thanks for all of your input. This actually became a moot point when Dad called to say that he booked a courtyard view in the Wilderness. This is probably best since they will be close, but not too close ;) . Mike 75 days and counting

We will be staying at the VWL in October in a 1 Bedroom. My parents have decided to visit the World for a couple of days during the second week of our stay. My question is: Can I request to have a two bedroom for a couple of days without having to move? That is, can the adjoing studio be...
