Yep-, reallocation doesn't impact our decision at all. I can see longer trips in our future to take advantage of lower weekend point requirements.

I actually had my bag go to London once without me. Weather delays in Chicago caused me to cancel my flight out of Seattle, because I would miss my connection in Chicago to London. But the bags stayed on the plane. American Airlines assured me they would stop the bags in Chicago, nope. My...

I'm with you, the only time in my life I've seen a rope drop was my first trip to Disneyland when I was six. That being said, I told my wife in our upcoming October trip that we were going to try to hit park opening (which is more of a challenge for us west coasters coming east). We'll see...

I use the Airport Express with my Vista laptop with my business travel, I love it. Really nice even if the the hotel has an option of wired or wireless, because I can use the wired connection to the Airport Express and both my iPhone and laptop can share the signal. Nice thing about Airport...

I'd be surprised if they offer a Hawaii cruise. Takes quite a bit of time to get there without seeing a whole lot. Also, there used to be a law in the books (not sure if it is still there or not- the Passenger Service Act) that any foreign flagged cruise ship sailing between two US...

While I prefer the less crowded islands (not so much the crowds, but the visual beauty of the Na Pali coast in Kauai or the drive up to Haleakala or snorkeling Molokini on Maui- I think the other islands just have more natural beauty, but that is my opinion and I don't expect others to share...

That Westin resort looks gorgeous, never stayed there. We own at the Marriott Waiohai in Kauai, but often stay on Maui in Kihei at my Dad's timeshare. I know a lot of people prefer Kauai to Maui or vice versa, but I like them both. We've done Oahu, but would much rather go to the other less...

Favorite attraction is Indiana Jones, favorite restaurant is Blue Bayou, and I should have added favorite land- New Orleans Square. Of course I like them both, and wish I had more time to spend at both. :-)

I definitely think the local visitor and population density is a huge impact. Just looking at some statistics online (and yep, I was wrong on DL outdrawing MK) there are 49 million people in the Pacific Time zone and 19 million people in the Mountain Time zone. Comparatively, the Eastern...

Not without getting creative, but Disney is good at that. :-)

DL is impressive on how many people it does draw, it outdraws MK individually but not WDW as a whole. But it does draw more locals given the SoCal population whereas WDW draws more of the travel from out of town crowd. So I think it is just that VGC just has a smaller target audience to sell...

That actually sounds pretty good. :-)

Hmmm.... Kitchen Sink for breakfast....

Personally, I'd give Turf Club an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 and Captain Jacks a 2. I really did not enjoy it, the one thing it has going for it is that it is right on the water and you can look at the marina. But it was one of those places where the whole family unanimously agreed to never eat...

We also own at Marriott in Kauai and love it. But we have not used it to go anywhere else other than our home resort. Our whole reason for timeshare was more around having enough space and going where we wanted to go vs prepay or trading, so we love the Marriott we bought into because all...

Raglan Road is a fun place to eat and meet with friends, both inside and on the outside dining area. I wish I could say I like Fultons, but have been disappointed. Turf Club at SSR is bettter than many of the DtD places. House of Blues is fun as well.

I think there are plenty of valid things to complain about- in fact I plan to complain to Disney about the following: 1) The Johnny Depp character in Pirates is always looking at my wife whenever we ride it. I would like to have words with him. 2) I'm pretty sure that the number of times...

my current spreadsheet goes through 2014. The problem there is that current plans don't use all of our points, so (sigh) I will have to convince DW to take a spontaneous trip to the World at some point to make sure we don't lose any points. DW is less of an enthusiast than I am, so I'll have...

I've got my 2014 date picked out. :-) But that is part of the problem- I think timeshares in general require advance planning which is not always possible for some. My employer is a hindrance for advance planning as they are starting to mandate when we use our vacation time (certain days...

Just dropped under 100 days today! (my sig is wrong, week off but never changed it)
