    Interested DVC...Where to start?

    Greetings, Skier Pete, and good comments! You mentioned that the Free Dining that WDW offers for on-stays is becoming less of an issue for you. Yes, you'll lose those times when WDW will give free Dining Plans during the few off-season times (and those are shrinking). BUT, in case you...

    Interested DVC...Where to start?

    I'm fairly new to these boards, myself ... but you will quickly see there are a lot of seasoned veterans giving good advice. My comments are: 1) You CAN overthink this, just like people on the WDW buses with Birnbaum Disney Guidebooks all yellow-Post-It-Noted to death. There truly are a...

    Online check in

    We've been using online check-in for the last few years and it has been mostly a positive experience. It's definitely saved us time upon arrival. Also, the ability to request up to two preferences such as proximity to elevators or transportation, etc., while not guaranteed, have been fulfilled...

    Accepted offer - now the waiting is killing me

    Some of our early vacations when new to DVC were split across several resorts...and we thoroughly enjoyed them. If it's a short vacation, you'll spend a lot of time moving to the next resort...and on busy periods (of which marathon IS!), you stand a good chance of checking OUT by 11 a.m. and...

    New broker to list with

    There are several excellent companies who handle DVC resales. My own experience has been with purchases, not selling, but I have experienced professional & quick service from three: *************** (****, one of the owners worked at DVC for years and provided the service you'd expect from...

    Does DVC still meet your vacation desires once te kids leave the nest?

    We joined in May, 2001 with VWL as our home resort. Our kids were in their early 20's to early 30's by then, but all enjoy a Disney vacation. Since joining, we've added BCV, AKV and BDWALK, and are purchasing extra AKV points this year. We've discovered that we enjoy the place more every...

    Help/Advice for future trip

    Boardwalk and Jambo are two of our favorites. We've purchased DVC points at both resorts because we had too much trouble getting rooms in the 7-month window. Your quick-service dining question about Boardwalk: for ANY dining other than in-room and what few breakfast selections exist at the...

    Good reason to buy direct?

    There has been a lot of excellent & varied advice on this thread ... I can only add my thoughts based on 13 years of membership and purchasing both direct and resale. Our experience has been: a) purchased 200 VWL, 100 BCV and 150 AKV points during each of their construction phases DIRECT...

    Our opinion is avoid California Grill

    That was an excellent idea to share the names of servers who've given excellent attention at CG. Our last meal was attended by DALE ... he said he'd been there ever since CG opened (was it there in the early '70's?). Service was excellent and we'll ask for Dale again. Since our first...

    Our opinion is avoid California Grill

    Good details, and I'm sorry to hear your story. California Grill is one of our favorites and we usually have at least one meal there every year. We visited CG twice last October (2013) after the remodeling and enjoyed the new makeover. Our service was impeccable as always, menu was excellent...

    Liberty Tree Tavern or Be Our Guest for Dinner ?

    Well, it's a tough call. We've eaten at both. Liberty Tree is great for All-You-Can-Eat comfort-style food. Be Our Guest (if you can actually GET a reservation or walk-up seating) is brand-new, a GREAT ambiance and we were VERY pleasantly surprised with the quality of food, service, pricing...
