And Congrats! Happy to have you as a Neighbor! I appreciate you formatting your information for me!! Made it so easy for me to add to Page 1! Points add ones are addictive! (But fun!) hope you visit us here often, we love chatting about CCV and WL! Enjoy planning your first stay!
Glad to have you join. We read a lot about DVC before buying (mostly on the DVC boards here), so we felt ok with the strategies we needed when we bought our contract. We are certainly still learning. It is always worth looking to see what is available if you want to go. This group is great when you have questions!
and Congrats! Happy you found us! As far as booking for the party, it might be tough, but not impossible. If nothing is available, You can always waitlist and see if something pops up! You never know. Good luck! I’ll be sure to get you on Page 1. What’s your UY? Thanks!
Welcome and congratulations. There is lots to learn about details of DVC, but the basics come pretty quickly. The DVC Member website is nice to search for resort availability. It would be tough to get a studio on short notice, but you never know. You can check the availability for each room type and might find nights available that would work for you. The waitlist option is another possibility too. Finally you could (gasp) consider staying at another resort. OKW and Saratoga Springs tend to have better availability, but it is tough to spend points on them that you could save for Copper Creek.
It varies how long it takes people to get the hang of owning DVC. Some do tons of research before buying, so they generally catch on quickly. Others might do a bit less research, so it generally takes a bit longer to figure things out. As mentioned, you will catch on to the basics fairly quickly, and this board and others are great places to start in terms of asking questions. We all were new to DVC at some point, and for me after nearly a decade and a half of owning, I still don't know everything or forget things I once knew. MNSSHP is going to be a tough get this close to the dates. February, on the other hand, is likely doable if you're willing to stay in a larger resort, though you might have to do a wait list. If you haven't done so, go to the member website and check room availability. Congratulations, and I hope you enjoy your membership as much as we have!
Welcome! We like to request a high floor and open to the lobby, since the view from both sides of the room is great that way. There are studios on each floor, and we have confirmed many of them to be walk in shower rooms, so that shouldn't limit your location options. The floorplan maps here show where the different room types are on each floor. There are a lot of studios on the first floor, and some people prefer being on the ground floor, but we like to be higher up for better views.
As GrandCalifornian says, all the common areas are open to all guests. If you want to find a little less populated, quieter locale, then it's tough to beat the VWL lobby and Iron Spike room, however.
Can you say which rooms on the map are “ alternate studios” rooms?
Thank you! Would you happen to know which of these have a tub/shower combo?
