    When do you see most movement on waitlist after 7mos?

    It's just luck. We always read that a waitlist at Boardwalk during F&W is impossible...well, guess what, we got ours at the end of September! Good luck!

    March Check-In Thread!

    We're WDW vets heading to DL for the first time March 4-10 (5 day park hopper tickets). We'll be flying in to LAX early on the 4th and checking into VGC later that day after seeing local sights. We plan on making BB Fantasmic package, taking the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour, and making early...

    Boardwalk or Wilderness

    We just stayed at both BWV & VWL this past summer. Our family of 4 decided VWL is our least favorite resort, but we all absolutely loved BWV. We had an awesome view and proximity to stairs (which could have swayed how much we loved it), but there wasn't much we liked at VWL. Even our guests...

    Bad Trip

    I couldn't agree more (and I don't know anyone that works there). There seems to be 3 classes of DVC members...those that expect 5*service, those that are realistic and take the time to plan, and those that are jaded. I fall into the middle group-I guess that's why I'm still happy with my DVC...

    Star Wars Character Meal

    If you hear differently, please post on the thread! There's been too many instances where cast members give out different information, and I don't know what to believe!

    Star Wars Character Meal

    The cast member and her supervisor couldn't confirm when I booked yesterday, but I called back today, and there are now notes in the system that say that discounts are applicable. The 20% TIW will definitely help!!

    Best songs for WDW Vacation home video

    We had a Disney Christmas last year - my son had to write a report for school to make up for the days he missed, and we also put a video together using Holiday Road for extra credit! Besides Disney music, we've also used Good Life by One Republic as well.

    BLT Disappointment and Question

    If people want to see in a room, they will no matter if they are walking by (yes, even through sheers) or through binoculars. BLT provides curtains so it's not like they weren't concerned about guests' privacy. We left ours open the entire time and chuckled over the thought people might look in...

    DSLR or point and shoot at Disney?

    Bring both! Depending on my plans when leaving the room is what decides which I bring along with.

    Payments from a gift card

    They can only take 2 payments over the phone so if you have enough to cover the cost on 1 gift card, then it is possible. I bought 4 over the phone with the $50 gift cards you pick up at Target, and they offered to break it into 4 transactions to take advantage of 4 different gift cards. The...

    Who has only purchased direct and why?

    I must be one of the lucky ones - we took personal responsibility, did our research, and actually discussed at length with our guide resale vs. direct - and he actually added to our examples of why we might choose resale over direct. Running numbers is my job (yes, I am a boring...

    Who has only purchased direct and why?

    Very good point. I've read through these blogs for quite a while (please don't critique me on my join date which was quite a bit AFTER I had been on here), and it always amazes me when someone is so excited they joined directly and then people have to come along and burst their bubble telling...

    2-4 weeks really?

    Our resale points took 6 business days to show up online, but we haven't received any paperwork yet. We were only able to see it online because it was linked with our initial contract.

    Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section V

    We previously bought direct and were purchasing resale, and the paperwork was sent to Disney Membership Admin on 4/23, and it was submitted to ROFR on 4/29. We just passed on 5/21 so hopefully you'll have the same luck!
