    DLP just for one evening in April?

    thanks, cyrano - would appreciate additional input from others the disney main site states train time on RER from Paris is about 30-40 minutes, but I expect it would take longer with the walking on each end, as well I am hoping park hours might be longer in mid-April but they are...

    High iincrease in annual dues.

    dues are way too high for what you get in return - much cheaper to stay on cash where we stay and when, so we will be selling at end of the year

    Grand Californian vs. Grand Floridian

    we were on the second floor on the end and used the outdoor stairs all the time for quick access to the parking across the road the two properties are very different GF, in my opinion, is more stately and elegant - it is a much larger property with lots of waterfront, more restaurants and...

    Grand Californian

    The pool is nice - I actually do not recall if there is a slide, but there is a nice warm whirlpool. Here is something I highly recommend: When you go to the pool, take shoes and a pass back into California Adventure. You can enter right near the pool, ride the whitewater rapids ride several...

    Vero Beach special assessment

    annual dues at VB are close to $800 now (for 150 points) - that is a lot, considering what $800 can buy in cash

    Vero Beach Purchase

    buying at vero beach makes no sense whatsoever unless you need the 11 month window and stay at peak times - otherwise vb has dues that are too high and a low resell value, and buying anywhere else usually allows you to book at vb without a problem - this explains why vb has not sold out in 7 or...

    VB directions Help!

    good directions - you can find them on google maps by plugging in mco and then the address for vb also, once you are on the beeline or I-95 south, you can see on a map that you have other opportunities to head east and go down US 1 or A-1-A (vb resort is on A1A) - we like to get on A-1-A...

    Key Lime Pie Question

    I think you have to go to the bar, mention casually you are staying offsite and wink - then you get the tart, or tort, or torte. Alternate recipe for men: go to Publix: locate bakery section; order entire pie; return to room; enjoy with family (and coffee)!

    Double post

    don't understand your problems with the shingle roof - a cat 3-5 storm is going to cause some roof damage no matter what, but my understanding is the structural integrity of the roof was not compromised significantly I would have to look again at the windows, but as I recall they are very...

    Bugs at Vero?

    no see-ums usually only itch for an hour or so after being bitten, unless you have a reaction avon skin so soft is very good to repell them - also you might try off botanical which contains the new chemical approved by the gov. to fight mosquitos - it is derived from eucalyptus - the other...

    PSs needed at VB dining during Memorial Day week?

    It will be crowded and you should make a ps for all dinners. You can usually do this upon arrival without being too late. Bleachers is the pool snack bar. The Green Cabin is more like a bar but you can order from a limited menu. They just get the food from Shutters downstairs. The pizzas and...

    DH unhappy with add on payment error

    DVC actually lost our $10,000 + check when we joined! We had to put a stop payment on it! They were very apologetic. It was a little scary, but it all worked out. By the way, welcome home!
