Calling all Kentucky Bluegrass DVCers

[UncleKyle]

Old School DIS'er here. Don't post much anymore but my family and sure do enjoy our DVC membership every year. We leave this Friday for OKW for 10 days.

We live in Shelbyville, KY. I'm an ex WDWCP cast member, and we're also members of Owners Locker. John is a great guy and provides an awesome service. Just got an email last night that my locker is ready for delivery!

Great to see all the Ky DVC members!

And lot's of posts to prove it. Cool to hear about being a CM. I dream about retiring and moving to Disney and try that. My bigger dream is to win the lottery and go to Disney without being a CM.

Hmmm...so what did I miss that apparently went political?? That's weird. Mods around here can really kill things sometimes.

We are 14 days away from our fall break getaway! Boy do I need it! This DVC member is looking toward to cruising and checking out a villa at BWV.

No Christmas tree exchange for us in december. We'll be too busy exploring the decorations around wdw.

Speaking of dec, SOuthwest Airlines loweredthe price of our flight, so I rebooked and got some excellent credit!!!

Cheers,
Josh

I'd love to tell you but the hammer would fall agein. Having fall break is a great time to get to Disney - cooler weather and shorter lines. I won't be cruisin but we'll be there roughin' it at the Wilderness Lodge Villas.

Just found this forum. Great to see all the DVC'ers around Kentucky. Live in the Knobs in Southern Indiana, but my DH is from Louisville and works in Louisville so hope you can count us in. DVC members since 1993 at OKW & added on to BLT. We can never get enough of Disney. We are actually empty nesters now and love it even more.
Counting the days to Dec for a relaxing stay at BLT then cruising on DCL to the caribbean. Love all the Christmas decorations at the resorts, CP, and the MVMCP!

Any Time is a Great Time in Disney!

Welcome. Another Disney Cruise fan. Maybe one of these years. I want to make it to a MVMCP as well.

How about those Cincinnati Reds

 

[AirGoofy]

Not much longer until we will be roughin it at the Villas of the Wilderness Lodge. I have packed the DxDP and by ADR confirmation numbers, and hopefully, I will make it through the week.

WOOHOO!!!! Can't wait to be watching them play in person on Sunday!! Go Reds!!

It also seems like several of us will be at Disney in December. When and where? We are at AKV - Jambo (12/15-16) and at Kidani (12/17-23). Has anyone been there that close to Christmas? When does it get crazy busy? We usually go the 1st week or 2 of December around the Christmas parade taping.

We will be at Kidani 12/10-12/14 then move over to BLT for the remainder of our trip. 64 days and counting.

We took the whole clan for Christmas in 08'. Spent Christmas Day at MK and it was a packed madhouse, not sure we will ever go over the actual holiday again. We arrived on 12/16/08 and left on 12/27/08. We noticed the crowds got really heavy starting around the 23rd, but on Christmas Day MK was at capacity by 11am and believe me there were some really RUDE people there.

We squated on a curb for the parade 2 hours in advance and by parade time we had tons of rude people trying to push in around and on us. It was ridiculous how they were behaving, so if you ever go over the actual holiday take plenty of good will and patience with you. Other than that it was a great trip. We spent Christmas Eve at DHS watching the Osborne Lights and drinking hot cocoa, a great experience all of the kids will never forget, including the 2 oldest (me and DH).

Wow! What about Spring Break? 1st week in April? Anyone been then when it is not yet Easter week. How busy is it then?

Resting at BLT 12/6 until we set sail on DCL on 12/11. In 2007 we were there from 12/16 - 23. Started getting crowded around the 22nd, otherwise it was great. Last year we were there from 12th - 19th. We had great weather and not crowded.. Crowds usually don't start until about the 23rd. Enjoy!

I'll be able to tell you about April in 2011 - we are there the 8th-15th. Not my first choice, but we couldn't miss opening day in Cincinnati which they decided to move up this year It isn't the peak week, but it's close, so I am interested to see what happens!

Thanks for the advice - we are always home by the 15th or so of December, so I wasn't sure what to expect from the 15th - 23rd. We are very excited to be spending as close to Christmas as possible with our west coast family, but still being at our actual homes for the big day I can't wait!! Even though we just got home the middle of September, I wish I could go home tomorrow It didn't help as we were leaving this last trip - my oldest little guy (4) and I were crying - he just wanted to stay 89 more days and was willing to part with every penny he has to just stay Where he got 89 more days from - I have no idea, but thank god he has my love of Disney !!!!

Spring break and Christmas at the 2 times of the year WDW has as "peak" times of the year. Well, at least the prices are higher during those times of the year. Thank goodness for DVC

The DVC points are quite high then as well. We are going in Spring Break for the 1st time next year. It will not be Easter week, so we missed the really high point time frame and that MK hits capacity that day. From what other friends have told us, it will be busier than our usual time in October during Fall Break.

 

[AirGoofy]

A great week at the Wilderness Lodge Villas - 80s all week. It is nice to be back home, but I could live there. DW keeps reminding me that living there would not be the same, as I would have to go to work. It's always those little details.

 

[KyCruisinSusan]

Many more details please . Are you going to do a trip report? You can't just leave us hanging like this.
