Today, I added a couple ADR to our WDW stay.

Bill raved about his meal at Nine Dragons (Epcot) this past September. So, I had to make an ADR for our "date night". Also, we are going to have breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe.

Can you tell I like to plan things?

- Jennifer

Plzzzz I started planning things when I first booked this cruise BEFORE any of we started talking about the Secret Mickey and Meets

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

We have the two older children registered for the Cub's Den one evening. So, Bill and I can have a "somewhat" peaceful evening. We will still have Cole with us, but we are hoping he will sleep through dinner like he did last year. It was nice.

A woman after my own heart!

I have a spreadsheet for our WDW and Cruise trips. I sometimes drive Bill crazy with all my planning.

I noticed in your signature it says Jersey Shore. How different is Ocean City, NJ to Ocean City, MD? Does the NJ one have a boardwalk too?

- Jennifer

Yes it has a Boardwalk too

We live in Ocean County NJ, near Seaside Heights and we have a Boardwalk as well.. We are off exit 82 on the Garden State Parkway

We left our two at Simba's one evening last Feb. and had dinner at--not Jiko, what is the buffet at AKL? Had to pry them out of there and they still talk about it. Which is why I'm reeeeeeally hoping they'll enjoy the kids' clubs. Man, we need a night out.

Let the questioning begin...

1) Do the Anuual Dues or Maintenance Fees vary by what property you buy into?

They probably do because they are based on the actual expenses for the care of the properties

2) What does it really matter which property you buy into as you can use any of them? I guess one thing is that you can book sooner, but is there anything else?

You are able to book your "Home" resort further out from your vacation. This helps make sure that you get a reservation. It is harder to book at the other resorts because the DVC members who own points have first chance.

3) How much have the Annual Dues gone up over the life of your membership?

Just finishing my first year so I can't give a good answer. Maybe Angie can.

4) Is the DVC Member cruise cheaper for members or do they offer special perks? Using DVC points for a cruise doesn't seem to be that great of a deal compared to staying at a resort.

Using points for a cruise doesn't appear to be economical use of points. Angie has done this so she can give you her reasons.

I am sure we will think of others but please let us know if we reach the harassment stage.

Thanks Brack!

- Bill

I didn't help much but I still say that we wish that we had bought in earlier.
