Calling all Kentucky Bluegrass DVCers

[my3squeals]

I'm so excited to find another DIS'er from Madisonville!!! And like you, we are not DVC members yet, but I'm spending lots of time on the DVC threads, in anticipation of purchasing in the future!!
The expert DVC'ers are going to be tired of replying to my questions!!
(I hope not)

The only DVC resort we have stayed at was SSR (free upgrade) and we loved it! Such a beautiful resort!

hello!!! Well if you buy in before we do, and ever need to rent out those points give me a shout!
I see you are going to CBR in a few months we are too!!!! We leave Sept 4th. Can't wait!

Congrats on your first grandbaby!! That is wonderful news!!

I would like to buy into DVC, but don't know that I want to sign up for those annual dues for the next few decades. We just can't decide!

It is deeded property so we recieve a statement each year for our tax portion for our taxes.

I have always wanted to stay at Cbr for some reason, (I like the theming) and got a 35% off bounceback code, so we are doing it (other than the free upgrade SSR stay, we have only stayed value). We leave November 12th! It can't come soon enough!! We love the cool down there in November.

After we stayed at CBR with a code, we bought into DVC. It was so nice staying at the Moderate resort. We stayed at Port Royale, and had east access to both the main pool and splash area, as well as the private pool. That's when we first realized we could stay and enjoy the resort as well, not just the theme parks. My favorite part - no more bus lines from the value resorts. Have a great trip.

Our kids have both asked how many points they get to use and we laugh hysterically at the thought that they think we are going to share our points. [/QUOTE]


My oldest (DD17) asked one time what we would do with our points after they all leave home and don't take family vacations anymore. DH & I just laughed and laughed. She seemed amazed that we said when we retire, we'd be able to go more often.

Hey everyone! We are back home after an awesome 9 day trip to WDW. Suffering from PDD (post dosney depression!) and working on planning our next trip already! Haha.

For those wondering, our flight on Allegiant was fine. The flight out of owensboro was delayed almost 2 hours to do weather in North Carolina (apparently flight goes from NC to Sanford to Owensboro). Onl complaint is poor communcation at the airport. We were all stuck in a little room with no bathrooms waiting on the plane & were never told anything more than "flights been a little delayed..it'll be here soon."

I'm gonna start a trip report this week if anyone wants to read it. Hope all is well.

Cheers,
Josh

To all DISer's in the Bowling Green and Hopkinsville area, I hope the weather doesn't bother anyone!!

Let us know when you start your TR. I'd love to read and learn about WDW in July!!

More bad weather today. The bad stuff just blew over, but we are still in the watch. 63 MPH wind gust in Rockport, IN - real close to Owensboro. We only had 45 MPH winds here.

Hi everyone!

Another Bowling Green Kentuckian here! I can't believe I've missed this thread until now. We just joined DVC in May at AKV-Kidani. I have to echo PP's and say we also wish we would have joined sooner. We stayed at AKV-Kidani in May and just got back Thursday from SSR. We love the DVC resorts! Already considering an add-on...

BTW...hoping the storms that came through tonight are bringing some cooler weather with them.

In July

It was 92 before the storms started and now it's 73.

A girl can hope right? Yep, 74 here at the moment...91 tomorrow though.

Big thunderhead south of Mt Washington

Amazing rainbow after the storms had passed

And what better what to end a day

i worked Homarama last night and the rainbows were amazing! Anyone who goes to Homaramra please vote for house #5(Mike Oney Builders). My brother built the house. It is the most energy efficent house in KY.

Great pictures. Nice to have some company on the DisDad's thread. I keep subscribed to about 5 threads, but occasionally wander out in other areas.

Does your brother build in the Versailles area? What energy efficient construction methods dies he use?

I am not sure but you can contact him at 502-396-5166 and ask. He is also a Disney nut. Just tell him you are a dis friend of his sister's.

Sweet deal. Why do they insist on holding Home a Rama during the hottest part of the summer? Wouldn't sometime in Sept or Oct be a more inticing time to wander in and out of very expensive, gorgeous, jaw dropping houses?

I agree and 2 weeks is too long. I am working again tonight for him. All of the houses are beautiful. The decor this year is more on the modern side.

Wow. Just found this thread. Had no idea there were so many KY DVCrs! We live in Buckner with a LaGrange address! We have been VB owners since '99. I'm a former CM so our children were raised properly! We will be at OKW 7/11 with our now older children. DS now married in a house divided. He's U of L and my DIL is UK and they have a new baby girl who will only be 6 weeks when we go in a few days. Our DD is a sophomore at U of L. Amazing to come full circle and be bringing a grandchild to the World.

Favorite line from my DS. He was in the U of L marching band performing at WDW after the Citrus Bowl one yr. When they were done performing and released into the parks his friends said "lets get a map". My DS said... "we don't need a map... where do you want to go?". Like I said, they were raised properly!

Special hello to my LaGrange neighbors. Great thread Susan!

Why is it that everyone thinks that my DW started this thread? I did. The man of the house LOL

Built in GPS or been there many times? It's always wonderful to hear people can get around without maps.

Looking at a possible trip to WDW for star wars weekend 2011. Looks to be half the price to fly from Lexington as it is from the Ville. Are people flying from Louisville having to pay for the UPS part of the airport?

I agree and 2 weeks is too long. I am working again tonight for him. All of the houses are beautiful. The decor this year is more on the modern side.

2 weeks is perfect. Just not in July or August. Why not have it like Susan said in late Sept or early Oct.

I just love this HEAT wave here in KY. over 35 days so far for 90+ deg days. could get near a record. It's just getting us ready for the 2012 trip to WDW
