    We used Avis in early April...the woman went out of her way to help. Highly recommended.

    Avis Phillipsburg

    We used Avis earlier this month. The walk is not bad and the woman who was working that day went out (way out) of her way to help us with directions, touring ideas and making us feel at ease in St Marteen. There is an afternoon drop box at the bar next to the Avis lot. Good luck

    No One ever Mentions the Dumbotron in their Trip Reports - did you like it?

    Just back from 4/1 Magic Eastern cruise...the screen is great for the afternoon feature...dozens of people in and around the Goofy pool all with eyes glued to the screen...this was a great thing and just another way for DCL to offer something for everyone as often as possible as I was able to...

    What to do with drivers license and key card at beach

    To tell you how little thought I put into this...I left my dl in a backpack on the beach this mast Friday on C/C and put my Key to the World Card in the inner pocket of my swimsuit...not a good idea. My wife heard someone on the beach yelling my name who had found it in the sand! We never saw my...

    On-Board Power for Cameras and other battery powered items

    Do you need a power converter to charge cameras and batteries while on-board? Or will I be OK with my basic 110 charging cords?

    BWV Pool Question

    Thanks for the info. I was just wondering as we will be staying at VWL in October and plan to make a day of MGM and EPCOT F&W in the evening. Plan dinner at BC (CMC) and depending on the weather want to consider a quick dip, shower and change at the BWV pool. Sounds like the dip is a go with a...

    Good news and bad news

    This will be taken the wrong way...but here goes...cats have nine lives, right? Maybe they will both use them all up between now and next June. I say this as my cat lays in my lap with his paw smacking the mouse and tail racking back and forth across the key board. If my parents can't watch him...

    The Patio or The Ocean Grill at VB??

    We ate at the Ocean Grill July 3rd. Excellent. We will go back. I think reservations were for parties of 6 or more (could be wrong). We waited 30 minutes and spent it walking around nearby.

    BCV bus troubles

    We were at BCV July 8th & 9th and went to MK in the evenings. One night we ate at Flying Fish and caught the bus at BW (15 minutes wait + packed YC, BC & BW bus). The other night we left from BC and waited at least 25 minutes for a YC, BC & BW bus to arrive. Seemed a little long and a lot...

    Summer heat at Vero vs. WDW

    We were in VB 7/3 thru 7/8 and then at BCV 7/8 thru 7/10. Even with no wind a few days VB was considerably more comfortable. The asphalt comment is true...WDW is just hotter because of the acres and acres of paved over swamp there. We have been in Florida over the last six 4th of Julys and...

    Just returned from 8 days at SSR

    We visited on our way out of town last Saturday (July 10th) in the afternoon. It did seem deserted but with a few years of growth on the landscapping and trees it should be a nice place in the vein of OKW. The rooms seem more BCV though. The common area is nice and spacious but is obviously a...

    From WDW to VB dest directions?

    We took US192 (Irlo Bronson Hwy)to I-95 this past Saturday. You stay on I-95 from exit 180 to 156 (Sebastian) and then follow the DVC instructions. It was quick except for the first 2-3 miles on the West side of Kissimmee where there was construction. We hit it midday so I don't know if other...

    Please tell me about the bugs at Vero!!!

    Speaking from experience, watched movie last night at the VB pool, they are relatively active right now. Received several bites in places 'protected' by clothing. Did not have on any insecticide. Our son played in the pool and was spared. I have heard about the no-seeums at VB and they really...

    Childcare at Sales Presentation?

    I'm sure the chilcare at SSR preview center is as good as it was when we toured and bought last July at BWV. Our son (now five) still lets us know that he wants to go back to play and get cotton candy when we leave. Have tried to tell him that it has been replaced with ice cream and he will have...

    Survey on prospective ticket offerings for DVC members

    I got a card today. Just filled out the survey. All four options would have application for different people depending on need. I really hope for a discount on a non-expiring option that provides maximum flexibility. PH would be good. UPH with option to pick and choose days eould also work.

    Put the heat on MS. We closed Aug 2003, had temps from the paper work we received and signed in July 2003...our permenent cards didn't arrive until April 2004...after a couple of calls to MS and me expressing my annoyance on the second call in March 2004 mysteriously the 'vendor' produced our cards.

    HH Studios

    At the 7 month window I booked for this 4th of July...my choices were either VB or HH (1BR prefered). I found availability at VB and took it but also had MS check on HH, the 1BR were gone and studios were in short supply. Also at the 7 month window I booked HH studio for the 3rd week in...

    Seafood Buffet at Sonya's?

    We enjoyed the seafood buffet last November on a Sunday night. We thought it was a good value and of reasonably good quality for the price. If you like crab legs and are not in a hurry it is a relaxing, gut filling evening! The staff did a great job with our 5 year old to keep him occupied while...
