Thanks all, I did book what I could get but I'm also going to waitlist the other dates. I keep telling myself this isn't the only chance I'll have to go at the holidays, we have years to enjoy CC. It's a shift in thinking from "when we will get back" to "we have to use these points." I'm so glad we bought dvc.

I had to post about this change in mentality--it's true. When you own points, you're obligated to visit as often as points will allow; otherwise, why buy them? Now, for some, that's a sticking point to not buying into DVC, and I completely understand that way of thinking, as well. You are locked into Disney unless you go to the trouble of renting your points, trading them out, or using them for cruises, ABD, etc. (even those aren't a good trade value for points). That's okay because it has a lot of emotional attachment for us. So, we don't worry too much about missing something on one trip since we know we'll be back later.

Definitely!!!! And it’s Disney! Decorations or not, you’re going to have an amazing trip!
Do you want me to put your dates up on Page 1? I can always change them if your waitlist comes through!

Yes and thanks!

Exactly. I keep reminding myself we will be back soon...

We are just starting to feel more laid back about hitting something on our next trip. We had our first year with 3 trips in 2017 and also bought our first DVC contract. I think it is helping with planning our next trip. I think it is the reason that my focus for our Sept trip is doing things we keep skipping. I know it means missing out on some of our "must do" items, but we will be back for those the next year.

Thanks! Exactly. I keep reminding myself we will be back soon...

I keep having the same experience you have had about traveling during the holidays every time I read about WL at Christmas. I keep rethinking our Sept timing, but I keep telling myself we will be back and will have many visits to enjoy the holiday decorations. Hope you get to see them this year! Our little taste when we had dinner at Geyser Point on our Dec trip was amazing!

 

[Deb & Bill]

Aren't the decorations are kept up through Marathon weekend?

No, not always. With marathon in 2019 being later, my guess is they will be long down. We were at Disney for the marathon this year and saw decorations go down the entire time we were there. Some were already down when we arrived on Jan 3.

Yes, it was a 1BR villa. We had the opportunity to stay at a discounted rate before buying.

Besides the stream, could you see a pool, the geyser, and/or the water?

You could see the main pool, splash pad, and Bay Lake in the distance, although the view is not unobstructed from the 4th floor (there are lots of trees).

Okay, thanks

We checked in last night into Cascade Cabin 8025 at Copper Creek. I'll be putting together a full report on the Cabin but if anyone wants any info while we're here, please let me know. A preview to my report... THEY ARE AMAZING!

Would love to see pictures (or even better-video) of fireworks view! Trying to figure out which cabins have best view for 4th of July fireworks and if view is good enough to avoid park.
