DUES Info! - All resorts dues have been released

[walt34]

Things like the doors, cabinets, counters, etc were made out of less durable materials than VGF BPK. I’m thinking higher upfront material costs might be saving maintenance costs down the line? Boardwalk was already having issues with the cheaper type bathrooms cabinets and door damaging each other. Now that’s also explained by planning, but those and some other materials around the room seemed more vulnerable to wear and tear than VGF BPK.

Last time I stayed at BPK I thought some of the wardrobe doors felt quite flimsy. The white door in front of the beverage cooler seemed particularly thin. So it's even worse at Boardwalk, then? I guess these wooden elements are at least cheap to repair?

Good thing, last month I hit my arm on it and the whole thing fell of and spilled half the container down the drain. lol

I much prefer the pump at the top. I’m a germaphobe and like that I can put a washcloth and not touch the pump.

Yes I just outed more of my crazy

I thought you wanted to leave this topic?

She says that as a moderator not that she doesn’t care to talk about it imo.

This is now the third time you suggest that I want to have a higher minimum number of nights and the third time I tell you: I don't.

Others have suggested that I assume that’s why she said “some” not “you”

It was and now I’m warning myself and everyone else.

No more discussion about it because it’s included in our budget and it covers the cleaning on check in day for as many reservations that are booked, regardless of who the guest is.

If anyone feels that they want to see the costs for housekeeping done differently, they really should advocate for it with DVC.

All future posts, including responses to previous posts will be deleted

Ha, we wipe everything in the room with alcohol wipes as soon as we get in. Even inside the drawers. Basically anything we will touch. So don't worry, you're not the only crazy around!

A good ole big box of alcohol wipes live inside my owners locker!!

I don’t do the drawers though…but that’s because I tend to just live out of the suitcase!! I hang up dresses but that is it.

Pivoting back to dues: one of the line items in the ad valorem taxes that we pay is the Orange County Library. The mill rate is .3748. However, Orange County will not let us have a library card. Volusia county (Daytona, New Smyrna area) allows timeshare owners to have library cards. Indian River County (Vero beach) is vague, it just says “property owner. Osceola County (all star resorts are Osceola - but obviously not timeshares) specifically accepts timeshare. So Orange County receives money from all of the timeshares in the district but provides no services in exchange. how did they get that deal?

Aulani members pay a substantial fee to be a member of the Ko Olina association with no real benefits associated with it. It's just one of those government things that you pay or you don't get to play.

Gotta love those government kickbacks*!

*I do not in fact love them

I view this much differently than paying for a library. Aulani owners do benefit from the association even if it’s in a small way.
