    Need resort advice - nearest to Hyatt Orlando

    Hi, My daughter will be having a robotics tournament in Orlando later this year and will be staying at the Hyatt Regency Orlando with her team. Our family wanted to use some of our DVC points rather than staying at a hotel in near her hotel. We have never been to Florida and would like some...

    Adding person to room for a fee

    A fellow member once mentioned that I could pay extra (~$25 a day) to add a person to my room at Aulani. So instead of 4 people in a studio, I could have 5. He said that they wouldn't provide any extra linen but that the person would get a band to use the facilities. Is that accurate? If so...

    Refferal question

    Is it only if you purchased new? What if you have a resale and refer someone?

    New Owner (!) with a few questions!

    Thanks. I did a quick read through those sites. They don't really mention DVC. Would I have to transfer my DVC points into something else (i.e. RCI) before using the exchange system? Or does DVC points assimilate easily into the exchange process? I also tried looking up the SFX exchange site...

    New Owner (!) with a few questions!

    Is there a site that focuses on trading between timeshare companies (i.e. RCI and DVC)? Or do you have to know an RCI owner to trade with to maximize the value of your points?

    First time to SD. Need help.

    Thanks for the great info. I think I posted in the wrong forum, but your input helped me a lot. Right now, we're going to fly into SD and rent a car to drive to the three locations. Spend a day at each place (Zoo, Sea World, LL) then either drive, fly, or catch the train up to...

    First time to SD. Need help.

    Hi All, We are integrating our yearly Disneyland trip with a SD component for our five year old son in March. We used our DVC points to book the DL part of the trip but had questions about how to complete our SD portion. Any suggestions are appreciated: 1. We are flying in from...

    2012-2013 Spring Break

    Thanks. My wife and I are both teachers with our Spring Breaks at different times (hers the second to the last week and mine the last week in March.) So right now from the info you shared, it seems like we will be shooting for weekdays at DL and weekends at SW/Zoo. Not sure which one will...

    2012-2013 Spring Break

    Thanks. Right now we are looking at March 21-26. Does anyone have suggestions on when we should go to San Diego and when to go to DL? For example, I know DL will be crowded on the weekends, so I'd rather go weekday during MM periods. So that would mean visiting San Diego (Lego land, Sea...

    2012-2013 Spring Break

    Thanks So from what I am hearing, it sounds like most Spring Breaks for nearby schools are from the last week of March to early April. I guess we will be shooting for mid-early March.

    2012-2013 Spring Break

    Is the majority of Spring Break crowd from the Anaheim area? I found the Orange County school calendar and I believe that their 2012-13 break starts in April. Does California share spring breaks (for example, the entire Hawaii public school system has their break at the same time)? Thanks

    2012-2013 Spring Break

    Hey all, We are relatively new owners of DVC points and used our points to visit DL for the first time a few weeks ago. It was my 4 year old son's first time, and my wife and I haven't been there in decades. We had an awesome time. The weather was nice, the crowds were smaller than we...

    Just Announced on the ABC News

    I just came back from 5 days at DL. Here's my experience: We used late FPs at all of the major rides for most of the trip. There was one occasion when we went back to Splash Mountain an hour after our time. The guy made us wait outside of the rope for 4 minutes before letting us in the FP...

    Alcohol Specific Question

    UPDATE: I just got back from 5 days at DL and here's what I found. Wonderland Liquor is relatively close, maybe 5-10 minute walk from the Grand. They had the basic beers along with a lot of Stone brewery stuff, Bootleggers, and some Racer 5 that I enjoy. I rented a car for a day and...

    Shuttle vs limo?

    We just came back from DL. We used the limo service both ways, it costed us around $100 each way. We would have taken the express, but we arrived too early to use the bus so the limo was our best option. The free drinks were nice and we talked our driver into taking us to side trips (market...

    Alcohol Specific Question

    Hi all. I'm leaving for DL tonight to use our DVC GC for the first time. A few friends have asked me to bring home some California-centric beers for them. Specifically, they are looking for Russian River and Stone beers. Do you know if Wonderland liquor or any similar store near DL carries...

    Annual dues notice?

    Since I bought resale, I'm also not sure about this process. Do they mail me a bill? I'm not on any monthly plan that I know of.

    Help with planning for first DL trip.

    Does anyone know the child seat laws in California? Would we need to bring our own child seat for a 4 year old if we caught a cab? I know that if we used a limo, they have child seats we could use, but I was not sure about the cab situation. Thanks

    Help with planning for first DL trip.

    Thanks for the info. Not sure what we are doing about the airport transportation yet at this time. As for the groceries, does Vons require you to go in person for the free delivery or can you order online and have it delivered? I tried calling DVC member services and they said they...
