    Small point contract through resale- different use year

    Thankyou again everyone. Unfortunately this particular contract obviously wasn't meant to be as when DH sent the offer in he got told it had just sold :( Never mind though, we are in no rush and have both agreed we will just keep our eyes open until the right contract comes along. :)

    International DVC

    Hi, yes you can become a member from the UK. If I remember rightly you can't use Disney financing if buying direct unless your actually in Florida to sign for it. If you get in touch with DVC member services they will send you out all the brochures and details, this gives you a chance to...

    Small point contract through resale- different use year

    Thankyou for your input Bill, this sounds like sound advise. My DH did take it on board- kind of! He decided to have another search and has found a contract with 100points for sale with the same use year as we already have. The home resort is Saratoga, which we know we like and would enjoy...

    Small point contract through resale- different use year

    Hi, yes we bought in at VGF. We are looking at adding on at SSR. we are planning on doing split stays holidays for the foreseeable future so home resort for the second contract wasn't as big of a deal. As long as I can do a week at VGF I'm not overly fussed on the second week- looking forward to...

    Small point contract through resale- different use year

    Thanks for your responses. I guess it is manageable, i just didn't really want the confusion as this is still new to me. I think I will just mull it over for a while longer, although DH is more of a suck it and see type! I see a long debate with him this evening when he gets in from work. :)

    Small point contract through resale- different use year

    Hi everyone, looking for some thoughts on a possible add on. We bought into DVC whilst at WDW in August. Never really entertained the idea before the trip, but we got pixie dust sprinkled and were upgraded to the Grand Floridian, this led to the chain of events and us signing on the dotted line...

    Who's doing an onsite stay longer than 14 days (currently or soon)?

    We got the old mugs when we arrived as the new system hadn't been rolled out yet. About halfway through they changed to the rapid fill mugs and dispensers. Obviously our old mugs wouldn't work and I was told in the food court I would have to buy new mugs! I was on the dining plan and had length...

    highs and lows from our trip.

    We were upgraded from POR, nothing was really wrong with this resort- we just asked if there was availability at Coronado as this was where we normally stay. Coronado wasn't available and we told the CM we would be fine where we were could she just get someone in to give a quick clean to our...

    highs and lows from our trip.

    Im not a great story teller, so thought it would be better to just do a quick highs and lows post. We stayed at disney for a total of 15 nights at the end of august beginning of september. I will start by saying we had a fantastic holiday that I am very sad to be home from! Highs *...

    Dogs days of Summer party

    We were at this yesterday, there was Pluto, stitch, bolt and dug. It was fun for the kids dancing around with them. There was little games dotted about for the kids to do like throwing bones into a dog bowl- they got a bone shaped card with autographs on it after they finished playing. We didn't...

    Here now!!

    Im still getting used to using the boards so apologies for not quoting people. Thankyou all for your lovely responses, we really are thrilled. We didn't think POR was a horrible resort by any stretch, just our home is normally Coronado as it has a special place in our hearts. I didn't...

    Here now!!

    Hi all, I was going to do a trip report when I get home but thought I would just come on and do a few updates whilst Im here. We are on day 3 of the Disney part of our trip and so much magic has already been sent our way! We were booked into POR for our 15 night stay, I know a lot of people...

    Anyone ride the "forbidden" rides when pregnant?

    The warnings on the likes of splash mountain aren't because there is any major danger of the ride itself- its because if it had to do an emergency stop it will stop with one hell of a jolt. There are probably other reasons but that is what I was told. That kind of impact in pregnancy can cause...

    Opinions about Michael Douglas, HPV and throat cancer?

    I just wanted to post my thoughts on the HPV vaccine. This is something I had under advice from the doctor. I suffered some horrible side effects from it which caused me to do some research. What I found out suprised me and made me think it wasn't worth me having it in the first place. As...

    Is Disney becoming too greedy?

    Three weeks off is brilliant! Gives you chance to relax and take disney at a slower pace. I guess we are lucky because most people in the UK will get 4 weeks holiday a year- and these can have more added the longer you have been with a company. Using holidays wisely, ie during bank holidays/long...

    Does your family crack you up? Post here!

    These are some lovely stories. I always say I will wright things down that my DS5 says because im sure one day I wont remember them and some things are just priceless. One that sticks out is when driving home one day and my DD8 is talking about what she wants to give up for lent, shes pleased...

    Is Disney becoming too greedy?

    I definately think its down to the resort choice that is making there be such a rise in price, perhaps people who go and stay at SSR and OKW could consider staying at a moderate if the increases are that much- it would save a lot of money and they really are lovely resorts. Another option I...

    Is Disney becoming too greedy?

    Im from the UK aswell and have been staying onsite for the past 4 years- I have to be honest and say that ive found the increase in price each year has been reasonable and in line with what I would expect. The main hike in the price for us is down to the ticket increase each year, the hotel...

    Breakfast at Coronado Springs

    Coronado Springs is our favourite resort, we love it and are only staying somewhere else next year because it was all booked for our dates. The theming is really nice and my kids loved the pool, im sure you will have a fantastic stay there. Dont let the pepper market put you off the resort- we...

    Breakfast at Coronado Springs

    It is correct that breakfast and lunch at the pepper market is now an all you can eat buffet requiring one quick service credit. Something I would add is that at these meals they also ask for a 20% tip. Its 10% for the evening meal there which we never had a problem with and did feel the wait...
