This was my first split stay and first stay as DVC owner. Part 1 - Poly Island Tower Studio 5/21 to 5/25 Initial Impression: We loved OG Poly visit last year which made us buy into DVC. Had much higher expectation with Island Tower. The first impression on check in was.... underwhelming to say...

Hi all, I wanted to see if I am alone in being shocked and quite frankly disgusted at the state of the Jambo house one bedroom villa pull out bed? We are Poly DVC owners but booked a last minute trip and only AKL was left so I snagged the one bedroom. I’m fine with an outdated room and don’t...

Hi! I am planning a mother/daughters trip for me, sister, and our mom (age 71). We are staying AKL Club Level savannah view - so excited! Our trip is next week, Thurs-Sun. Thursday we will just be at hotel. What should we do? The sky is the limit! I want luxury LOL, first trip without all our...

I have two contracts, one at Wilderness Lodge/Boulder Ridge and the other Animal Kingdom. I currently have 93 VWL and 123 AKL bankable UY24 points available, but willing to borrow from either contract to rent as many as 243 total VWL points or 283 AKL points if 11-month window priority is...

We’re planning an extended family group vacation for January 2025. My mother in law will be renting points for a room for her, and we will be booking a room for my family and my brother in laws family. We’re looking at booking a two bedroom. 4 adults (2 sets of parents) and 3 toddlers/infants...

For those of you who are at AKL right now or have been there recently, are the animals out and about during the day? We have a "water" (i.e., pool) view room booked and we were thinking about paying for an upgrade to savanna view, but if there aren't any animals out on the savannas, it's not...

I'm working on booking a DVC stay for the end of January for four adults. I last stayed in Kidani 8 years ago, and it wasn't the best trip. My family was in the second to last section of Kidani, furthest from Jambo. The walk from the lobby was lonnnng. On check in day, we had an issue where our...

Hi I am planning a trip to WDW for August 2024. There are six of us - me, my husband, my parents and my two sons aged 4 and 6. We went last year and stayed at Poly for two weeks. We loved the convenience of the resort, fireworks from the beach and the pool but would like to try somewhere...

260 AKL points available. 20pp I can book other resorts through September.

This is our first contract and it is a resale contract. It is for AKL with 250 points for 2023 on, and bank 28 points from 2022. It is for an August use year. It is $2191 in maintenance fees. I offered $103/pt and it was accepted. I expected negotiation but the seller accepted. Are there any red...

I am a newbie and really interested in buying into DVC resale. We have two kiddos, 4 year old boy who is obsessed with thrill rides and a 19 month old boy who loves to melt down at Disney and hates stroller naps. We live in GA so we always drive. I am looking at about 100-150 points with...

I was able to snag a reservation for AKL concierge and just returned from a great stay there. I know it is very difficult to get even with the 11 month AKL home booking. My question is does anyone know if the concierge rooms option would ever be removed from AKL dvc? I know DVC perks are not...

Hi I’m looking for some advice on a possible 2 weeks spilt stay at AKL and either OKW or POP. We are a family of 4. 2 adults 2 kids aged 2 and 5. I’ve heard about the long walks at both AKL and OKW but is this enough to put off staying at one of these resorts? We’re considering POP for this...

We have not been to Disney in five years! Our annual trips stopped when kids got into high school. They are now all adults in college and we’re taking them back! I have booked a one bedroom villa at Jambo House but I’m second guessing myself due to sharing one bathroom with three young adult...

My husband and I bought our first contract earlier this year- 150 SS direct. After really contemplating things, we are looking to add on around 75 points early next year. We’ve decided that one bedrooms are more our speed. We do not have children yet, but are hoping to soon. We would like the...

Hey guys - first, this forum rocks. Just purchased my first DVC contract - 160 pts for AKL that came loaded this year w/April UY. I'm still pending with ROFR, but if all goes well, I'll have the membership/points in July or August. 🤞 Obviously, most of the rest of 2021 is booked, and some into...

Hello, Can those who prefer very specific rooms - like AKL club level- please let me know what it is that makes you always/frequently look for that reservation?

Based on current events, we are trying the whole honeymoon thing again for fall of 2021. 8 nights at WDW. Originally we had planned AKL Club Level, with CL’s most attractive feature being signature services and the CLFP program. If that goes away, we may just do without CL. Since our stay...

I’m a hoping that a friend will be able to join my family and I on a trip to Disney for a few days this summer. We have a two week reservation at AKL and my friend is hoping to join us for 3/4 days. She should be able to join our room, based on room occupancy. I’ve seen on other posts that...
