    Waitlisting, booking, cancelling, oh my!

    Yes you can do this online or by calling. When you setup the waitlist you can have it automatically replace the other reservation..putting those points back in your pocket to be used for the new reservation...all automatically!

    Addonitis has hit again! Split on use year

    We bought Boardwalk last year...been to BWV once, AKL and VWL and loved them all. We were going to wait until Grand Floridian went on sale and buy direct...but after some thought we decided it was crazy to pay double or more for home resort window... So we are now looking at Bay Lake...

    Chef Mickey's: Breakfast or Dinner?

    Agree...not a big fan of dinner..Breakfast is good and fun for the kids. If I was to do a Character buffet for dinner, I would choose the 1900 Park Fare

    Did you stay at your home resort prior to purchase?

    Stayed in several non-dvc disney resorts over the years prior to buying..and then did a cash reservation at Boardwalk and bought at BWV a few months later through resale.

    reselling dvc that expires 2041

    I agree with previous posters..you will not be happy if you are buying DVC for it's resale value. The way DVC makes sense is if you regular Disney resorts...then instead of paying the equivalent for cash rates, you are saving with DVC. Example You were to spend $3000 a year on cash rates...

    Resale vs direct

    Agreed. If you are buying DVC for DVC resorts, then it can be much cheaper to go resale. The best bang for your buck is DVC points for DVC resorts...if you want to use your points for a cruise, adventures by disney, etc...you are better off renting your points at $10/point and then using the cash!

    MyMagic + Officially Announced

    And that is great if you have the flexibility to go during the slow times...but many families don't have that luxury and end up having to take the vacation during the busy times...again this is not always my experience as I frequent the parks....but I can definitely feel for those that do! I...

    MyMagic + Officially Announced

    Well it was the week after xmas haha...but I was just there in August as well (hotter then hell I must say!) and the experience was the same...not as busy of course...but still couldn't get on Rockin Roller coaster, Tower of terror or Toy Story! I just like the idea of not having to "rush"...

    MyMagic + Officially Announced

    I seem to be the minority here, but I think this is a great idea! I understand the whole idea of a relaxing vacation and not having everything planned...but in recent years I have found the current system to be the reverse! We just got back from a week at Kidani Village and visited 3 of the...

    How many people buy resale?

    Did lots of research between direct and resale...did the dvc tour etc. In the end, went with resale and haven't looked back.
