    Travelling by car from Washington DC to Saratoga springs

    You could also check out the auto train via Amtrak. Granted it's an added expense.

    Christmas week - advice needed

    What do folks think about the week before Sunday 20 Dec thru Sat 26 Dec? Will the parks be just as busy as the core christmas week? Not sure if schools are out then, but seems like it might less crowded if you have the time off.

    Two years fulltime in timeshares - start here if you didn't read one year post

    Thanks, we definitely want to make sure our health care is locked in. We hope to factor in locations with commissaries and such during our travels as much as possible but I'm sure there will be plenty of costs we are not thinking about yet.

    Two years fulltime in timeshares - start here if you didn't read one year post

    Thanks so much for sharing your story! The wife and I are 5 years or so from retiring, we are both military and spend a whole lot of time trying to figure out where we should live and what we should do. Your lifestyle is amazing, and I really think we will end up doing something similar. If...

    One year living in our timeshares: 2 1/2 year update

    Wow, and quite jealous of your lifestyle. So are you saying you need about 10-12K per month to cover everything (fees, transportation, food....)? Do you generally drive or fly? Please keep us up to date, it's so interesting to hear this is possible.

    Grand Villas

    This is what I would do if I did not have the pts for a GV- to me the GV is not worth it unless you want/need the larger common space, a studio and 2 br is perfect for 8.

    Best laid plans...

    My first trip as a child to the world was in the families good old RV, that trip locked in my love for WDW and why I bought into DVC. My dream is have longer FW/BWV stays, just can't get the DW to see my vision of an RV purchase! Anyway I think a FW/DVC villa mixed stay is as good as it gets.

    Using DVC Points for Disneyland Hotel!

    We used points for DLH last year, right after they had completed the renovation. Great hotel rooms , great location (would say GCV location is better) and great Tiki bar! Well worth the points. Had not been to DL for years, it's such a more relaxed vibe than WDW- we need to plan another trip...

    iPad and DVC website

    It's a bit tricky to do this on an IPAD. You have to hold on finger down on the screen outside of terms and conditions box and at the same time scroll all the way through the box. Then it will allow you to check the agree box. A bit tricky at first but after a few tries I was able to master it.

    who has NEVER stayed at their home resort

    We own at SSR and have stayed there only once for two nights during a split stay. We tend to visit during F&W fest and prefer BWV for its location to Epcot and the boardwalk restaurants and bars. Nothing wrong with SSR as a resort- the rooms and spa are great but since the shutdown of pleasure...
