Congrats!

Any trip counts.

Make sure you go check out the AKL/AKV, it's really starting to look like it might be open by May09.

Yes, I made an ADR for Boma one morning so I can check AKL. Also, I'm hoping the Kidani rooms at SSR will still be there so I can check them out.

UMMMMMM, Boma.

I have a trip planned for Feb 09 and I'm looking forward to the smell of the lobby when Boma and Jiko are cooking. The AKV model rooms should be open at SSR.

We stayed at AKV in July - the resort has very low lighting but I think it is meant to add to the atmosphere. I would call it dark since there are lots of lights, just low lighting. If you don't expect a bright airy atmosphere you will enjoy the feel of this.

We loved having the animals so close.

What does this comment mean? We are looking into buying in - does this mean the first use HAS to be at the home resort? Just doing all the homework - ! Definately don't need to be convinced if its for us! I know it is! Just want to know some of the ins and outs! And that caught my eye.

I thought that you could have 5 in a one bedroom - no? You have to wait for the 7 month window instead of the 12 for resorts different from your own...

Since we are all Canadian I know we can discuss this in a civil manner. Every time occupancy is mentioned on the DVC forum it is put into lockdown immediately. Occupancy and booking advantages are seperate.
You may book at 11 months with your home resort and 7 months at any other resort. The only resort that will provide bedding for a occupancy of five is the standard one bedroom villas at AKV. Even though it is not officially printed or stated in the loosely followed regulations, DVC will allow five in a one bedroom and based on trip reports on the DIS even a studio. DVC will not provide bedding and linen for the fifth person.

We did the tour on Sept.12 and signed the papers on Sept.17th and bought 200pts in AKV..... we got the builders incentives 200 free points to be used by Sept.2009 and the 1600.00 disney gift card to be used as part of down payment, $100 disney gift card for doing the tour and 6 fastpasses for signing on as a DVC Member then toured the New Bay Lake DVC very cold colors (very comtemporary), sales rep wouldn't let me take pictures of it...

It sounds like incentives have not changed much. This is what we got in DL in November 07. We purchased 225 at AKV. We received a 100.00 gift card for touring. We received 160 developer points to be used at our home resort. We received a discount of 8 dollars per point which is equivalent to the 1600 dollar gift card. We also had a choice of 2 premium DL annual passes or 2 regular annual WDW passes. We chose WDW passes. We also received founding members status for the purchase of the new GCV which we are passing on and will add on at our home resort or maybe BCV in the future

Well hubby went for it, got 160 points at BLT!! I still can't believe it, I am soooo excited. Looking forward to many years of WDW holidays

 

[candizfan]

Congratulation! I am sure you will love all the planning of wonderful family trips.

 

[realfam]

UMMMMMM, Boma.

I have a trip planned for Feb 09 and I'm looking forward to the smell of the lobby when Boma and Jiko are cooking. The AKV model rooms should be open at SSR.

Yum yum, we loved Boma (dinner) when we were there in August. We are back in Dec and plan on making another res.
I'd recommend it to anyone.

If you love Boma you will also like Tusker House at AK. I'm trying to get a reservation for a EMH night in Feb but they say the park isn't open that late.

Hi all Hope it's okay to put questions about trading out points here

Just wondering if anyone here has had any luck with trading into any of the Canadian resorts? DH wants to do a ski holiday in either BC or AB. He's mostly interested in Whistler but I'd appreciate info on any of the resorts. How far in advance should I put a request in for? Would spring break time be difficult to get? Also, does anyone know if we can put a request for a trade in for spring 2009 with BLT points or if we can't use our points for anything until after sept 2009 (when BLT actually opens)?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for any info anyone can give me

DW and I don't see our name in here but we responded to one a couple years ago. We have enjoyed our SSR DVC since 2004 and we just got over the dreaded addonitis by purchasing 110 points at AKL. Can't wait to get there in March. Grandma and Grampy will be tagging along for some well earned relief from old man WINTER.
