    May W.I.S.H. Goals-A Little Bit of Mayhem

    Finishing out May strong! Can't wait to see what Monday brings. I missed my workout yesterday. My son's graduation party is this weekend and it is swamping me getting ready for it. So today was a scheduled rest day but I did yesterday's cardio workout instead and so glad I did. Feeling better...

    May W.I.S.H. Goals-A Little Bit of Mayhem

    Didn't really have May goals since I just started late but I am feeling pretty good about what I have accomplished so far. Did my workout yesterday - 45 min of interval training - used 8s as my heavy and will finish this week with 8s as my heavy and bump into 10s next week. I only have 1 week...

    May W.I.S.H. Goals-A Little Bit of Mayhem

    Thanks everyone!! I had a slightly crazy week last week. Completely did not mean to just drop in say hi and ghost everyone. I will be checking in much more frequently. In my little spare time (normally I am better at prioritizing but last week was nuts), I managed to really log my food and...

    May W.I.S.H. Goals-A Little Bit of Mayhem

    Hello - New to the WISH area. Need to be accountable for sure! I recently had some photos done and boy were they eye opening! I weigh more now than I did 9 months pregnant and I want to nip this in the bud before it gets any worse. I am presently 154lbs (5 feet 5 inches) and only weighed 147 9...

    Planning a trip to Japan - RCI or rent points?

    I figure at the low end I can get $4100 for my points for one year if I rent through David's so I really think I am going to go that route. I can do an AirBnb house for a couple weeks or longer for that or even some other rental that seems more cost efficient from my very limited research thus far.

    Planning a trip to Japan - RCI or rent points?

    Holy cow! Apologies. I completely forgot about this thread and was pre-occupied. It appears that I'd be better off renting my points and getting other accommodations. Looks like it might be a bit of a hassle trying to exchange through RCI. Thanks for the insights! :)

    Planning a trip to Japan - RCI or rent points?

    Hello all - For anyone who may have some knowledge... I'm planning a trip to Japan in most likely 2019. I've tried to look on the DVC member site about exchanging out points into RCI for a stay in Japan but there are limited options available. Which is fine as I will do more research. The...

    Financing Resale Questions

    Thanks Dean and Debbie Debbie - So this loan would show up on your credit report then and that is good information to know too. I just like to be prepared to answer questions, should they arise. Do you - or anyone - happen to know of the others have the loans appear on the credit report?

    Financing Resale Questions

    I've done a search and don't think I came across entirely information that I'm looking for so if I missed it links would be good too. This is strictly curiosity (and so I can advise family / friends when it comes up). What is the current interest rate for buying direct through DVC if needing to...

    Never waitlisted before - question(s)

    I have never had to use the waitlist before because I have always booked home or booked what I wanted at 7 months out. Today is my 7 month for trip 12/29 - 1/3 and am at SSR. Up until yesterday there was full availability at AKL-K Savannah view 2bdrm villa so I was pretty excited thinking I...

    DVC Neighborhood on Facebook

    I am on and browse. Previous posters are correct, there is a lot of misinformation and people not having a clue what they bought (discount club apparently and not a timeshare), and when you do try to correct someone with correct information or what the appropriate rules are then you are mean...

    How often do you use the kitchens/kitchenettes when you stay? What meals do you do?

    I typically stay in the rooms with the full kitchens and use them extensively. Cook breakfast and dinner most often. I know people don't like cooking on vacation but it's a cost saver for me. I went with family last trip, there were 3 of us. Dining plan would be over $1000. No way I can eat that...

    Tent Camping, Dining Plan and AP's...

    Yes, $878 is still tough but at least it is food I will eat and not spending the extra on food I won't eat. :) I truly come to the belief that the restaurant meals are priced the way they are to make the dining plan look like a deal. Of course maybe I just live in an area with lower cost of...

    Making reservations

    To hijack and add to this: When do you pay the difference? At check-in or will they charge your card when the new rates come out?

    Tent Camping, Dining Plan and AP's...

    Thanks for the insight everyone! I actually went and did the math and found I would save $274 by purchasing TiW. That $274 includes the cost of the card too. Now I would be missing out on 15 snacks, 6 counter service and a mug but I know we just won't eat that much. Plus I can use TiW all year...

    Tent Camping, Dining Plan and AP's...

    I apologize if this has been answered. I did a search and what I did find was older so I'm not sure if the same is applicable today. Family is thinking of doing some tent camping next year, we all have AP's and would like to potentially add the dining plan (going to do the math on that later...

    Moonlight Magic not so Magic

    I had a great time. I went on 2/25 and missed the fireworks because I had just flown in that morning and also was doing the 10k the next morning. I did get a survey about it and did state I thought it was great. Free entrance to the park, free food, unusual characters, great fireworks (or so I...

    Boardwalk rooms

    I just stayed in a studio and liked the new updates except the mirror over the vanity. Personal taste thought it was tacky. But overall I liked the simple clean look.

    Painting With a View

    I just came back from a trip. It is the same as the OP described. However I did not paint a castle. Not sure if they change it up a bit. My class was full and we could go beyond the hours it is listed to finish up and they were not rushing us out by any means. They encouraged us to walk around...

    COPPER CREEK?

    2042 vs 2068 expiration - I don't think I'd overly worry about that too much. Yes the OKW extension was somewhat of a debacle, but Jim Lewis so..... Also I highly doubt DVC will want all that inventory flooding to them in 2042...
