aargh, I've only been planning our Aulani trip for three years, and I'm not able to book. Not that anything is available anyway and I'm dreading that it's all going to be scrabbled together with having to change rooms too. :(

What are distressed points?

I'd just like to say that I really appreciate all of you folks who publicly and privately supported my post, and the intention of my post. Especially those of you who agree with my right to post, but love HHI. I'll say it one more time, different strokes for different folks! I'd like to...

Is anyone using points to book these trips? I just got the large color brochure, and they sure do sound fabulous, but pricey with $$$, and it seems even pricier with using points. Thought I could do the bank a year, borrow a year thing, but still it seems high. Maybe cash is just the way to...

I didn't make a mistake. That's because I checked out the resort before we completed the contract. If you're so worried that my one post would have changed your mind about your own purchase of points, I'd say that you are very easily swayed, and I'd be more worried about that than what some...

Honestly? Misleading, sinister, provocative? I thought it was quite mild, all I did was say that it was "unpleasant". It's a discussion forum, that's why. If we just all wanted to hear the sugary sweet description of Disney, we could just read the brochures. These are real life...

you're probably fine with low points totals, if you go in the off seasons and can do studios. We purchased more points initially, not sure about school schedules, and now we're glad we did. It's easy to take kids who are in preschool or even early K-2nd grade, but after that I've heard it gets...

thanks all for your replies, it helps a lot for planning purposes. Actually in looking at vacation schedules, I think we may postpone the trip till summer of '08 at this time. But June sounds like the way to go, for sure! I'm really not familiar with California weather, but maybe it'll be...

just need a definition please

is it okay to do it for a delayed or early birthday? My daughter would love this!

We're DVC members, and I'd like to just use my points next year and go to DL. We want to stay at the Grand Californian. On some other thread, I heard that June can be a bad time to go because the parks shut down for the high school graduates, I think around 9pm or so. I tried to contact...

on the rental points thread, I'm seeing the terms "morphed" and "Transfer of points" Without having to read all 40 some pages of that thread, can someone please just give me a quick definition of those two terms? Also, I rented from someone on ebay 2 years ago for Beach Club and ended up...

Sorry, not at all true. Please re-read my original post. Good point value, extra points for '05 use year, driveable distance from home, all of those were reasons I really wanted HHI to work out for us. I was actually very disappointed to turn down this opportunity. I just simply don't care...

Let me clarify. I said that we left the ghost story show 10 minutes before it ended. Earlier in the evening we attended the magic show, and it was after the magic show that the kids asked him for the balloons. What is surprising me in this thread is that for some of you I don't seem to be...

We were told the smell comes from the pluff mud. I just found this description on another website: 'Peee-uuu! What's that smell? You are in the Saltmarsh exhibit. If you've ever been in a real saltmarsh, you already know that it smells a little like rotten eggs. The smell in a saltmarsh...

For TCPluto: Okay, next time, let him call your kid an idiot. Since that's okay with you. :confused3 I was posting my personal opinion of my experience. I did not find him to be charming in the least. The word issue was only one instance. When a few people walked in late for the...

But we LIVE in NC, and know all about a slower pace, so it wasn't just that. And we did have a little more than 15 hours, (26 hours) we arrived at 11 am Saturday and didn't leave the resort till around 1pm the next day. (Daughter had to do about 20 rotations on the slide at the resort pool!)...

We are DVC owners at SSR, and thought we would enjoy an additonal purchase at HHI. We arranged a great deal through our guide for a purchase of 181 points at $87/pt, plus full use of '05 points which we could bank into our Sept '06 use year. Sounded wonderful to us. Until we went there...
