Bucket List DVC trips

[808blessing]

Given availability, what kind of DVC trips do you want to do before you or your points expire?
I want to try RivieraTower room and stay at Grand California. I also want to do a big family trip at the Treehouse.
I’m sure you have already lived out your top DVC dreams so curious to see what is left in the back of your mind!

A Grand Villa, preferably BWV or Riviera, but won't be picky
Unfortunately, we would need to give up at least part of our regular trips (1 bdrm for 4 weeks, Studio for 2 1/2 weeks, every year), & i don't know if we're ready to do that.
Some day.......

Yes, yes I am not dying to do these. Cause if I really wanted to I would make it happen ASAP. I just want to do it +eventually* because I am curious.

Aulani for sure plus just going to Hawaii...Also the DVC in California, have only been to Disneyland once, in 2003!
For WDW, still haven't stayed at either CCR/BRV, GFV, or RIV, so I guess making sure I stay at all of them, in a 1 bedroom or larger.

Lol I’m quirky so I want to see the quirky tower room and not interested in the glam of the big rooms. Haha. Now if these are imaginary free points maybe I would change my bucket list to all grand villas and stay in the imaginary center of the savannah glass room.

@gskywalker3You have a bunch of Aulani points right? Soon enough!

 

[Lorana]

Honestly, my DH and I would love to stay at every DVC resort! And if we’re talking bucket list, experience every Grand Villa! Especially the one at Aulani.

NYE Poly Bungalow
CCCabin for indoor/ outdoor double sided fireplace... can’t they make it snow outside my Cabin Magic?

Think they will eventually add DVC point chart for the exclusive SW Resort Galactic StarCruiser after 1 or 2 years?

 

[UrsulaWantsYourSoul]

Same as @Lorana - would love to experience all the Grand Villas if we’re talking bucket list. This Cascade Cabins look like I’d want to live there. I just can’t imagine how awesome it would be to have your own hot tub and fireplace at Disney.

Bungalow at Poly and GV at VGF and RIV. Hoping for some of those in the next 5 years when we take the entire family!!!

I literally just found out about this new hotel from your post! I’m not a Star Wars fan so I skipped over this completely. Been reading up just now. And I doubt they would add it! It looks like there are about 100pods which will go fast!

CCV Cabin, beach cottage at Vero to just chill with family & a ocean view 2br or GV at Aulani

 

[jscottnc]

This past year left me with lots of points to use. I am working through my DVC bucket list:

VGF Grand Villa -- scored 5 nights in December, just 191 days to go. Taking the extended family.

Poly Bungalow -- not really on the list but when there is availability and points to burn.

CC Cabin -- This is really on my list but just missed availability for this December. Wait listed against my Poly stay. With 189 days to go it might come through.

We've been owners since 2004 ... so we've already checked off quite a few "priority wish list" unit types:

• GV, at least once! Yep, got that through an RCI exchange a few years back. Awesome.
• Treehouse! Yep, that has become a frequent rotation in our resort hopping.
• Cascade Cabin! Loved it. Wished I could simply move the cabin home with me. Really, really loved it and look forward to booking this again.
• Aulani for its Grand Opening! That was sheer luck and simply fabulous. Would love to enjoy poolside hors d'oeuvres with Disney Imagineers and Suits again! Wowza.
• Savannah View at Animal Kingdom. How fab that this is easily attainable and that we've enjoyed it many times. Each time is "like new" for us as we lean on our balcony rail taking it all in. I love this every time.
• Edited to add: AKV Club Level unit. Did this once and it has fully scratched the itch. I never need to repeat it again. So glad this was a "once and done" for us.
• The Manhattan Club for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade via DVC Concierge Collection. Yep! That was a bucket list item for years ... and is now an especially happy memory. (Thank you, DVC!!!)
• EDITED TO ADD: Attend DL's Grand Re-Opening.
  From the moment the park closed I wanted to attend its reopening ... whether on 7/17/2020 (a significant date announced before CA's restrictions were relaxed) or later, I wanted to be part of that day. Thanks to DVC, I got that wish. (Thank you, DVC!!!)

From the discussions above, I the idea of staying in a GV at each resort!

My own remaining lists:

• Beach Cottage at Vero. (We've stayed in other unit types at this property ... but the Beach Cottage looks divine!)
• Poly Bungalow. Not a huge draw (strangely not equal to the Cascade Cabin?) but we'll keep it on the list.
• Beach Club Villas with an Epcot after hours party. (I had Beach Club Villas and the Epcot Member Magic event booked for May 2020 ... but we all know what happened to 2020 ... sigh. Maybe next time?)
• ... and someday, perhaps, to exchange our DVC points towards (note: towards not for?) the future Star Wars hotel.

Outside of DVC, we are working on two similar goals:

• To stay at every Worldmark property. When we started in 2000, there were only ~35 locations ... there are now more than 90 club locations plus a long list of affiliates. We've stayed at 51 of the club locations so far ... so many more yet to see! just keep swimming, just keep swimming, ....
• To complete our world cruise in segments. We started this in 1998 and have completed all but a (long) missing segment from UAE or Oman back to Sydney or various South Pacific ports. We had a cruise lined up for March of this year that would have completed this last leg ... but, it too was canceled thanks to Covid. Oh, well. Maybe another time. FWIW, our last cruise was the Suez Canal (Rome to Dubai, Dec 2019) booked w/in 30 days of travel. If something great pops up to complete our goal we have our passports freshly renewed and ready for travel!! Let's go! Let's get this done!

Even though we own there and have booked it a few times, we still have never stayed in a Kilimanjaro Club room at Jambo House.

Last time we had it booked, COVID hit...

PVB Bungalow and CCV Cabins for a week. I don't know that I'll ever be able to talk myself into spending the points for it. At least with a grand villa I can sleep more folks. Those two..it'll be tough.

I have 3 that I’d love:

1) Beach Cottage at Vero

We’ve done the Inn Rooms and a 2-Bedroom lockoff, but have always wanted to try and score a cottage.

2) Aulani GV

This one is still probably just a dream because the sensible side of me says I can get 2 2-Bdrm units for a GV... but those views...

We love Aulani. This is one that I think if you are DVC and can swing it, every member should try to experience.

3) Cascade Cabin

I would just check in and stay the whole time..

 

[com_op_2000]

Around the world tour of Disney all on DVC points:
DVC VB-EB Trans Atlantic DCL-Disney Paris-Disney Asia China/HK/Japan-DVC Alunai-DVC GCV/DL-DVC HH-DVC Orlando/WDW

 

[Lorana]

Agree with wanting to live at the Cascade Cabins! If we win the lottery, enough points to winter in the cabins for a month in the winter, please!

The only WDW DVC that I have not stayed at is the GF. Would like to do that one of these days. I do plan on buying into the new building there as soon as they start selling the points. No desire right now for any of the non-WDW resorts. Have not been out to DL for years and have no plans to do so in the immediate future. Unless they build something new and interesting I am set for the moment.

 

[xWilliam]

I'm probably about 2 years away from having stayed at every DVC resort, so I guess I'd just like to stay at the grand villa of all my favorites
