DVC Member Cruise ~ August 24, 2015

I got my hotel booked for before the cruise! The DVC site is not working well today. I tried it twice - once this morning and again this afternoon and both times it quit working - so I called member services. I didn't have to wait more than a couple of minutes. I am so excited - I got Club level at Animal Kingdom Jambo House! Yeah! I stayed Club level a few years ago and really liked it. Since DH wants to drive down (UGH) -thought I would treat myself and see if club level was available and it was! I was going to switch to Bay Lake at 7 Months but don't think I will now. I love Bay Lake and take turns between Animal Kingdom and Bay Lake. I just can't decide which one I like more. I do love the animals and the food at Animal Kingdom - but the location and easy transportation at Bay Lake are very nice. Bay Lake is also very close to other resorts for dinner. Of course since we are driving (UGH) we will have a car and can drive to the other resorts for dinner.
Has anyone else booked their hotel? Where are you staying? How long? I am just staying Sat and Sun before the cruise - again because of the nice long drive. If we were flying I could fit in some extra time. I may fit in a day or two after the cruise - maybe I could get Bay Lake for that?
 
Congratulations on getting Concierge Level!

We think we want to be away nearly 2 weeks. Tom suggests, 3 nights VB, 3 nights BCV and then cruise, finally 3 nights in HHI. This assumes our house will be sold and we will drive from NJ.

I will book when I can book the "after cruise" part. I don't expect to be shut out of any of those stays.

For this year, my after cruise plans changed and I was able to get BCV studio for 2 nights after the Member Cruise. I booked at 4 months, needed a waitlist, but it came through.
 
My daughter and I are flying in the Tuesday before and staying at Saratoga Springs. We are not renting a car, we will use the WDW transportation or just walk to downtown Disney. This is so exciting, it is our first Disney cruise and DVC member cruise as well.:hourglass
 
I just booked our precruise weekend!!!!! We too are at AKV - Jambo Club Level!!! First time (we always stay Kidani but when i saw the club level was still available, I snatched it up! I didn't tell hubby (and he never comes on the Disboards any more, so we'll see how long I keep this secret!)

Congratulations to you, too!

I was curious and a 1 bedroom CL was still available when I looked, but I promised a Jersey Week AKV vacation to friends, so our AKV points have been spoken for.

Well, we got home to Ohio to find our pond pump mail functioned and there's only a few inches water left in the pond!:sad2:it is too dark to assess total damage, but some fish at least are alive!:)

Oh no Bobbi, sorry to hear that about the pond. We booked a 1br also. Not sure if they kids will be joining us for the weekend before the cruise or not but figured we'd enjoy the CL since we can never get one.
 
Hey Bobbi
How are your fish? I sure hope they made it. So sorry to hear about your pond. How bad is it? I hope it is not real bad.
You need to book club level and we can start a new club! We can be the Club level DVC Cruise Club! Seems to be all the rage...(others are doing it Right Patricia?) They are saving it just for us. We will need to spread the word and get all others on board and take over the Animal Kingdom Lodge!
The great debate of driving versus flying is now going on - I would really like to fly - I need a good sale of airfare or earn a bunch of points so I can fly - I prefer Southwest. Otherwise I won't have any time to spend in the Parks - it will be all used up driving. Have to keep an eye on the airfare and see how it goes.
I have lived in MO almost my whole life - I was born in Maine - but have lived in MO all but two years. I would love to live in FL someday.
Well I have to go make Pumpkin Bread. Hope you have a Great Day!

Excellent! We can be neighbors - I booked a 1 bedroom also! I have Sat & Sun booked - as we may end up driving down. I really hope to fly in Fri night or Sat morning but need an airfare sale. Have you stayed Club level before? I have and it was really nice - I enjoyed having the food and drinks available - it was really nice. I need to check and see if they still do the Sunrise Safari - I thought they stopped doing it - but if not - I so want to do it. I know they have an evening safari - so may look into doing that if they no longer offer the morning one. If we drive I won't be going to the Parks as I won't have but one day - If we fly - then I will have time to do the Parks. DH suggested if we fly going to (gasp) Universal Studios to see Harry Potter as I have not seen it. (I love Harry Potter). I suggested doing Discovery Cove as I loved it when we did it before - but he was not real hot on that idea. Have you done either one?
Hope you have a Good day..

So nice that you all can come in Tue before the cruise - you will have a wonderful time before the cruise! You will be able to hit up all the Parks. Have you stayed at SS before? I have not - Do you like it? I have often thought of trying it. I would also like to try Wilderness Lodge - I just love WL and all their restaurants.
Have a Great Day!

Hi Lynn, we've only done concierge at the Grand Californian (via points before DVC opened there); have never been able to get it on at AKV so I debated back and forth, LOVE the master bath at Kidani but the food and drink at the club would offset expenses so figured I'd use our points there.

I have not seen any dead fish, but I've only seen 5 at most swimming around. There were probably as many as 10. We are slowly filling up the pond, and it does not seem to be the disaster it could have been.

I will be making zucchini bread!

Hi Bobbi °o° the link is coming up as error.

Thank you...I can't seem to fix it, but it is a link to post 146.

So far only 2 of us have talked about it. We were thinking of meeting for breakfast on the first CC day. It would be a relatively early meeting, say 7:30. If people would rather do it early on the first sea day that would be good too.
