Calling all Kentucky Bluegrass DVCers

[Rivewin]

From Paducah, Graduated from WKU, and currently a medical student at the University of Kentucky.

Glad to see so many from the state here!

I'm getting married next May and will be honeymooning on a Disney Cruise and then 3 days at WDW. Trying to find a way to rent points to stay at AKV in a studio.

Congratulations. DW and I honeymooned there (WDW, not AK) 10 years ago this September. Have a great trip. I'd offer you points to rent, but April is our Spring Break and probably won't have any left. Good luck.

With some people we know, I have started just saying "we're going to Florida" when asked what our vacation plans are.
Otherwise we get the "disney weirdos" comment and look.

I have to do the same thing now. Cause you know the minute they ask, they regret it. The eyes start rolling and they say, "should have known, DISNEY!"

We live in Henderson, 30 minutes from Owensboro! Not a DVC owner yet, but I am hoping that our stay in December on rented points at AKV will convince the hubby to take the plunge! I have been watching resale contracts and hoping to join the club soon!

Welcome!! You will love WDW during Christmas We have been there 3 times during the Christmas theme. Take some time to look at the resorts. And you "MUST" visit the Grand Floridian to see the ginger bread house

We just returned from a week at WDW. We surprised dds (8,5) with a summer vacation. We had a great week at Kidani. At the Welcome Home Wednesday, there was a guy from Louisville who won the Disney trivia game.

Hey Goofy, was the Louisville winner a disboarder?

I thought about going up afterwards and asking him, but someone yelled "squirrel" and I was distracted.

Actually, dd needed to go to the bathroom so I walked her over. I realize the "free" cracker jack and hat aren't the best prizes, but my dds enjoy the game show atmosphere and it is a nice way to relax. And, DW had her name drawn from the box this time and won a gift certificate to a clothing store in DTD. We get dressed (golf shirt and dress shorts) and go to signature dining afterwards.

Gosh GoofyGirl, your first post. Welcome to the DIS!

Storms last night and hot again today. Hope everyone made it through and is keeping cool today.

How funny - we were there the same time as you at Kidani. We got home on the 13th from the Kidani. Hope you had a great trip and managed to stay cool! It was our first stay at AK and we loved it! What a great resort!

Yeah, we had a great time. Did we run into you in the hallway or were you next door? We were in 7350 and had a close walk to Jambo as well. The only thing I did not like about Kidani was the bus transportation to theme parks or other resorts. At least the other DVC resorts have boats or close to monorail.

We were in 7955 - didn't mind the walk to Jambo, but we are the type to walk from Epcot to HS and vice versa. I thought I would mind the transportation (I was actually really worried about it!!) as BCV and BWV are my favorite due to being able to walk to Epcot and HS and monorail to MK, but it didn't bother us at all. Their buses were much quicker than any of the other DVC in my opinion. We did have a Standard view room, but had some animals and we also had a perfect view of the MK fireworks!!! Just happened to walk outside to see if we could see any animals before bed and the MK fireworks had just started - very cool especially with the Summer Nightastic show going off all around the park

It looks to be cooler in Fl then it will be this weekend in Louisville.

You were way at the other end. That's really cool about the fireworks. I like being able to see them from the resort as well. By oldest dd (8) got sick on the AK bus, so that probably magnified the problem. I agree that we did not have a long wait at all, just like having the different options. We haven't stayed at the Epcot resorts yet, but that is a plan for the future.
