    Are there any changes coming that you're in favor of?

    I am really excited about the EMH for deluxe resort guests! We are DVC members and not really morning people so it’s great for us.

    resale basic questions--especially Fidelity

    Yes, you can get a personal loan wherever you want. I didn't buy through Fidelity, but I found a great interest rate on a personal loan through Best Egg and as far as the broker and title company were concerned I was paying cash.

    Has anyone ever had a seller back out?

    Update: I just got a message from the broker that the closing documents from the seller have been received. Thank you all for the info and reassurance!

    Has anyone ever had a seller back out?

    Thank you, I had not considered all of these possibilities. Especially the point about them needing to come up with some money too. They were originally asking a very high price and while I'm not paying the full asking price, I'm still paying higher than average. They might have been asking for...

    Factoring in School and Kids for your DVC decisions

    This! When my kids were younger I was of the opinion that missing a few days of school wasn't a big deal in the overall scheme of things. I would still say that about one of my kids now because he is very focused and self-motivated. My other son has had a hard enough time keeping up with things...

    Has anyone ever had a seller back out?

    I am in the process of purchasing a resale contract and returned my closing documents to the title company 2 weeks ago. The sellers still have not returned theirs. Should I be concerned?? Has anyone else ever had this happen before? Are there any consequences for sellers who back out at this...

    Riviera Sales by the numbers (vs CCV) for 2019 - (December added 1/16/2020)

    I actually just saw this simulated virtual tour of the grand villa on Disney's website yesterday, and it looks amazing! https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/riviera-resort/rates-rooms/?CMP=SEC-WDWShareEmailriviera-grandVilla-16x9#slideShow=0/0/0/2 I have been pretty skeptical about...

    ChandraM---$120-$17955-145-AKV-Feb-0/18, 41/19, 270/20, 145/21- sent 9/16 Probably a little high, but this was under the asking price and I was so tired of stalking websites looking for the perfect contract! Hopefully, the higher price means it will pass :)

    Use year question: what if my new use year starts in the middle of my travel dates?

    Thanks! We haven't traveled during spring break yet. We usually travel at the end of August when the crowds are lower, but if we had to cancel and reschedule (due to a hurricane, for instance) spring break would be it for us because I don't want to take my kids out of school and even if I could...

    Use year question: what if my new use year starts in the middle of my travel dates?

    I am looking to buy my first contract (resale) and I think I have all of the use year stuff figured out besides this particular scenario. For example, my kid's spring break often starts during the end of March and ends during the beginning of April. If I bought a contract with an April use year...

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    I just returned last night from 7 days at the Beach Club and wanted to provide a mini-review/report here. But first, to Teena, I want to say how sorry I am to hear of your loss. We've never met but from keeping up with this thread I feel like so many others that I "know" you in some way, and I...

    Disney's YACHT & BEACH CLUB RESORTS Information & Questions

    We checked into the BC on Saturday and were upgraded from Garden View to Lagoon view like so many others.. Guess they didn't book many of those for this time period? We also have a daybed, a full balcony, and a super short walk to the lobby elevators. We also utilized the secret entrance near...

    One Day Harry Potter Plan with IoA Early Admission?

    Thanks for the reply. While I kind of like the idea of doing things in the order that Harry experienced them, I'm not so sure about getting the kids up for early admission, waiting at the gates, then getting into the park and waiting another hour for the train. We might all go crazy, so maybe...

    One Day Harry Potter Plan with IoA Early Admission?

    Hello All - I'm looking for advice on my touring plan. We will be heading to Universal for the first time on Thursday (Touring Plans estimates a 6/10 crowd level) and we want to spend the day doing HP stuff. There will only be early admission to IoA on this day, so my first question is does it...

    Rider swap with 1 adult and 2 kids (and 2 other adults who are scared of roller coasters)

    Thanks everyone for the replies! I really like the idea of swapping magic bands with my husband or mother for the second ride when a FP is involved, and good to know on BTMR the three of us can ride together! I already know that Space Mountain has three individual seats to a car so I'm assuming...

    Recent Wishes FP+

    This is great to hear! Could you still see Celebrate the Magic from the back while people in front of you had kids on their shoulders? My kids were so upset about not being able to see it last time in the crowd, and I am a bit claustrophobic (and short) so I got a FP for Wishes this year.

    Rider swap with 1 adult and 2 kids (and 2 other adults who are scared of roller coasters)

    I am going this week with 2 kids who love roller coasters but neither of them are old enough to ride alone. The two other adults I'm going with refuse to ride roller coasters. Is it possible to do a rider swap with 1 adult and 2 kids? Or will I have to use my FP to ride with one kid and then...
