    Friends/Family going/ $$ question

    I am surprised to see how many people are "charging" their family and/or friends ANYTHING to share a room or villa. EVERY TIME that we've asked family to go, we have never expected a dime in return. What we did hope for in return is that they would have a good time! I would feel very...

    Hi DVC Family! -- I had a baby!

    Congratulations on a tough pregnancy, delivery and NICU experience. I experienced the same thing (and I thought I was the only one!) twice. My two preemies are doing great (the last one weighed less than your daughter), and these kids (ages 12 and 8 now) absolutely love DVC. Actually, I...

    Parking at VB Cottages

    Thank you for the follow-up. My brother-in-law had knee replacement surgery last month so I was wondering how far the parking was from the cottage. Sounds like we had better plan on carrying his luggage! Glad to also hear that the cottages sound intact . . . for now anyway! McMouse Family

    Parking at VB Cottages

    This summer, we were fortunate to be able to obtain a beach cottage at Vero Beach during the week of the Fourth of July. However, never having stayed at the cottages before, we're unsure of what to expect. Has anyone stayed at one of these recently? What is their condition after the hurricanes...

    Vero update?

    After the hurricanes, I e-mailed DVC customer service, hoping that they had some effective communications effort in place to address concerns that would normally surface under these types of circumstances. One would only assume that a large business of this sort would have a crisis...

    How many dinners do you cook?

    Last year, when we were in BCV (Feb.) and VB (July), our family cooked most meals. We went shopping the first day, stocked up for the eight of us (had other family with), and worked together to prepare most meals. It was great! In fact, my brother-in-law and one of our sons went fishing in Vero...

    All DVC Member Cruise Complaints/Concerns Post Here

    I believe that all of my comments have been as valid as any that I have noted on most other threads in the past. However, so-called "negative" comments are being dumped into one complaint file. Why not have all "positive" comments dumped into one compliment folder? I do not understand why...

    Missed the Boat?

    I really do not care what people do with their points. What I do care about is the message that DVC receives from us, as a group. That we are a great cash cow. And that affects me, as a DVC member. _______________________________________________ The clip above generally summarizes my view...

    Missed the Boat?

    We've been on vacation at beautiful Traverse City, MI the past several days, so pardon me if this has been addressed before... I was wondering if anyone felt "misled" by the Member Cruise "teaser" mailer that was sent out several weeks ago. Obviously they wanted all of us to call in. With a...

    HH bike rentals

    Just an FYI: This past February, my 5-year-old DS and I went biking to the Beach House from the Resort, and I must say (despite growing up in Chicago), it was a hair-raising experience. Even though there's a trail to some extent, there was so much traffic (cars, trucks, pedestrians, other...

    How many points do you have?

    We have 250 at BCV and 225 at VB--wanted to get a little variety and have more options. :earsboy: :earsgirl: :earsboy: :earsboy: :earsboy:

    Fireworks at VB?

    Does anyone who has stayed at VB during the 4th of July know if they have fireworks at night at the resort? We're getting ready to make our reservations for that week and are wondering if it's worth using the points for a Friday night there (which, I believe is the 4th of July in '03) or...

    What Next?

    Update to original post: We received a letter from DVC today indicating that we did indeed close on both properties. Unfortunately, the dues start on one of them (VB). I was surprised to see that they prorate for 313 days for the 2002 use year when we just closed. Guess I'll have to call to...

    What Next?

    We're new to this board and new to DVC. It's great to find out about so many things from everyone--what great insight and perspectives. I believe that we've closed on BCV and VB. However, we've not heard anything more from DVC. Is this typical? Do you receive any notification in the mail, a...
