DVC Chit Chat Thread

I work all spring/summer/fall, think 6 or 7 () days a week. But I am mostly off in the winter. Therefore, my next trip is in January 2027 in a 2BR at Kidani with whichever family members want to come (first 7 to rsvp get in), then I booked a couple nights in a 1BR at BCV for my husband and I so we can destress from the family
Note*if I were doing it right, I would then book a couple SOLO nights to destress from my husband

Very similar to how we take our trips: a week with family, then a week for us.

I was early for a flight out of LAX back many years ago---back when I still had a Facebook account. One of my former students posted a shot from Randy's Donuts and I commented: "Man, I wish I had stopped there before my flight!"

Turns out he and his crew were also on their way to the airport, and were going to get there before I had to leave. So, they hand-delivered a couple of tasty pastries to me at my gate.

(Yes, I know that there is one in one of the LAX terminals, but it is not the same as the Inglewood original.)

I grew up in SoCal but relocated to the East coast after college. My husband use to travel to Asia a lot. He worked it so he had a stop over at LAX, he would grab a cab and head to Hermosa Beach to my favorite Mexican restaurant and get me 4 of my favorite burritos and put them in a soft sided cooler he brought with him.
He really is a great guy. And I miss those burritos!

BLT in October for my FIRST DVC stay ever!! This one is a solo trip for just me. The next one will be in February '27. We are booked for Poly right now, but may modify to Kidani or elsewhere based on availability and what the family wants to do.

I currently have 2 studios booked at boardwalk for 12 nights in October. This is for 4 adults and 2 teen siblings. The kids are used to sharing a hotel room with their parents but I’m still wondering if it’s going to be a struggle for the length of trip.

I’m 26 points short for a Saratoga 2 bed so would need to find someone able to a transfer if we changed.

I’m really just seeking opinion from the more experienced DVCers, is the studio going to be a struggle for that length of stay? We could also have one of the nieces in with us.

To add, we obviously would prefer to stay at BWV so it’s a kind of a is it worth the hassle to stay there or would it be more enjoyable moving to a 2 bed if I could find the points somehow?
