We are headed to DL next week. I thought I saw someplace that Disney has a barber shop in the Main Street area. I thought this would be a neat souvenir, but I'm not sure if it's in the Main Street area of DL, the Main Street area of the Magic Kingdom at WDW, or quite possibly, no longer...

Here's another one that no one's mentioned yet. Our Guide is Gib McCain. We bought with him when in WDW in 2000. He's still there, as we talked with him when they had the CA special for DVC add-ons last month. As most people have said of their guides, Gib is pleasant and professional to...

I'm another Californian DVC member and I'm suffering too. We've only got a few more days to get our special Calif only rate and I've talked to my Guide twice already. Guess it's time to call him back tomorrow before the window of opportunity closes. Congrats!!!!! jim

I talked to my Guide this AM just to make sure I had understood everything correctly - and as other people have posted - my understanding is correct. I had one question that I forgot to ask him that maybe someone here can help with ===> If we go for 130 points and take the 2 APs, are those...

Got a Fed Ex letter from DVC today. At the top it says: "Introducing a special offer exclusively for DVC members in California. The current price per Point is $95. Add on by Oct 2 and pay only $89 per point." Then below it lists the offers I've heard others talk about. Either 2 APs or...

A few days ago while I was checking out the new DVC Members Site I got a pop-up from DVC asking if I would be interested in answering a few questions about their web site. I was told I would be entered into a drawing (my short-term memory loss has caused me to forget the prize). I may also...

Both Mauna Lani and Kapalua are fine hotels. Neither hotel should disappoint you. I agree with what some other posters have said. Go to the island that you most want to visit. Personally, we've been to the Big Island, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai - but we always find ourselves returning over and...

Got the summer Vacation Magic in the mail Saturday. Nice cover of the new Mission Space exhibit. There's also an article about it inside. I just skimmed it and don't remember seeing anything extraordinary. But I had to work all day today and am a little tired, so it's possible I might have...

The car knwviking is talking about sounds like the experimental fuel cell car that GM has been showing. I saw it at the SF Auto Show last November. The fuel cell used to provide power is in the base, or skateboard, section of the vehicle. Designers can then have various body versions that...

Hi neighbors! Another northern Californian here. We live in Petaluma, in Sonoma County. We joined in 2000. We bought 150 points, figuring we'd go every 2 or 3 years. We first used our points to trade into the Hyatt High Sierra Lodge at Incline Village at Lake Tahoe. It's just a couple...

We stay at DVC, but we move and downsize. For example, this year we'll start in a 2BR at BCV. During the weekend, we're moving to a 1BR at OKW. Then we'll finish off with 4 nights at the AKL Concierge, all on points. We do this for a couple reasons. We own at BWV and want to spend time at...

I was just reading an article on fortune.com about Paul Pressler. In it they say that Iger (I think he's Disney's President) is not thought of highly as a successor to Eisner. The article was saying that in a few years Disney's Board may be coming back to Pressler, depending on how he does...

Found this news item on www.mouseplanet.com ==> At the March 19th, 2003 Walt Disney Company Annual Meeting in Denver, during the Question and Answer section, somebody asked what is Disney planning to do to improve Disney's Animal Kingdom. Michael Eisner responded with the fact that a...

Sheri - Don't give up hope. We own at BW, but are also going to be staying at BCV this summer. I was curious about this same thing. I e-mailed Member Services and asked them. They said it was OK to use the Community Hall. I printed out the message and will take it with me just in case...

Thanks for your tips. We'd prefer to just get the UPH for the 2 nights/3 days that we're at OKW. We've got bits and pieces of several partially used Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus passes that we would use the rest of the time. We've got 2 teenage boys and they're looking forward to...

I know that as DVC members we get 10% off UPH tickets. Can these be purchased before we leave and then get the 10% DVC discount and the 'purchase before you travel' discount? Also, our stay is broken down in 3 different properties, the BCV, OKW, and AKL Concierge; using points for each stay...

We've stayed in various condos in Napili several times, but never at One Napili Way. They're newer than most of the other condos in Napili, but they are not right on the beach. It's a very short distance, maybe 100 yards??? We love Napili because Napili Bay is a very pretty crescent shaped...

We are members at the Boardwalk, but for our upcoming vacation we are staying at the BCV. Can my sons hang out at the Boardwalk Community Hall while we're staying at the BCV? If not, is there any equivalent at the BCV? Thanks for your help. Jim

We just got back from spending a week at the Hyatt High Sierra Lodge at Incline Village, Nevada, along the north shore of Lake Tahoe. All units are 2 bedrooms. 10 units to each of 6 buildings. Very nicely decorated. Full kitchen, whirlpool tub in the MBR, 3 TVs. Views from our balcony...
