    Fireworks Viewing... TOWL or Wishes Dessert party?

    I know TOWL was added as a perk for all DVCers, with caveats, for 2013. Not sure if it will be still be avail in 2014. It's a good spot to view. Even the corner windows on each floor are good. If you haven't done it, try it. The lounge itself has seating areas/tables. That said, you...

    Grocery close to BWV

    We always just buy groceries at the BWV store on the Boardwalk. I don't find the prices much different than at home. We don't really want to take the added time or expense of going off property.

    Disney's Magical Express -- Luggage Tag Info

    Just got our DME packet today and noticed it was from zip code 41042, Florence, KY. I wonder if they all get sent from there or if they are regionalized based on where you live.

    Booked At The 7 Month Mark For The First Time

    Congratulations! Our experience might be unique. But, we've been very lucky to always book what we wanted every time. We've really enjoyed each resort. They each offer a different vacation feel. Love DVC!

    More free dining....grrrr!

    I sleep well knowing we get about a 70% discount on our room while the free dining vacationers pay full price for theirs.:thumbsup2

    Tour Groups at DVC??

    One nice perk of this is that our dues are offset by the income created.

    Went to ROFR on may 18

    DVC has been backed up with the volume lately. I had 2 contracts sent to ROFR first week of march and just received the checks today from the title company. I think it took about 12 weeks for the whole process. When I purchased a resale in 2004, it took about 4-6 weeks total.

    opinions of BLT

    Stayed in a 1BR lake view last week and loved it. We own and have stayed at BWV + AKV. We've also stayed at BCV a few times. BLT is well designed. They seem to learn from each DVC and make design improvements. The living room got wider the closer you got to the windows. It was nice to have...

    Online Check-In...Worth It? Advantages?

    I like because I don't have to hand my credit card to a CM at check-in. They only see the last 4 digits.

    Best Stndrd 1BR villa at BWV?

    I always think the best standard view is just scoring one. I've had good rooms each time.

    Type of coffee filters for AKV and BLT studios

    This one is pretty close to all the ones we've seen at BCV, BWV, AKL. http://www.newdealaday.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/thumbnails/Outp-MrCoffeeMaker3599-2.jpg We always bring some coffee/filter pack combos. Much easier than buying coffee grounds, measuring, and then...

    Dumb question...where do you keep *dirty* clothes?

    We throw ours into the washing machine and then run it when it gets full. we also do a final wash on our last eve so we don't bring any laundry back home. One other tip, we now bring the 3 in 1 soap, softener, dryer sheets. They work well and are much batter than the powder soap in the unit.

    Buy all at BLT or split with AKL?

    That's what I was thinking too. We have 3 contracts across 2 resorts (BWV + AKV). It is a lot more work for us to cross compare point charts and available contract points to book vs. reference a set of points at one resort. Having said that, having multiple home resorts is still a good...

    Just got my Magical Express tags

    I drive my family crazy when I show them our "Mickey Tickets" have arrived. We're about 5 weeks out from our next trip home. Can't wait for them to arrive.... Have a great vacation.

    Split Stay Checkout

    We've had a few split stays. It's pretty simple. Assuming you are using express check out, call BS at resort #1 and ask to have bags transferred to the next DVC. When you check-in at resort #2, (and your room is ready) go to the BS desk, give them your checked luggage tags and ask for the...

    BWV - refilllable mug locations?

    There are no self-refill stations at BWV. All of the options require you to wait in line, show your mug, and ask for a drink. The cast member will fill a disposable cup and hand it to to you. The locations (that I have been to) are the bakery, leaping libations at the the pool, and the bar on...
