We own at both Villas at Wilderness Lodge and Boardwalk Villas. Love em both and it gets better all the time....take a peek:

Just three years back, with a FLA discount, I booked $99 rooms at Animal Kingdom lodge. Even got savannah views! Now...they quoted me an "off season" rate in the $300's per night. Outrageous! The on property prices are just going through the roof unless you stay at a place other than a deluxe property. Makes the DVC a better and better value.

As long as we're on the topic...any bad experiences? I stayed for 5 nights at OKW...and was very disappointed. Mold in the shower and on the windows. Carpet dirty, burned and smelly. Bugs...even IN the cofeemaker! The moved me but the next room wasn't much better. I was shocked as they are usually so perfect. Any other bad experience stories?

WElcome Boston! You will join all of us (I am sure) in saying this is the best purchase you have ever made!!!

In repsonse to someone asking about bad experiences: Saratoga Springs...we stayed there during the phase one opening - the construction was horrible (expected) the floors were filthy, the rooms moldy, dusty and buggy (as you noted) and the staff uncaring. That was the worst part. My hunnies grandmother fell off the toilet and fractured her hip - that was the beginning of the end for her - she ultimately died partially from that injury. I have a bad taste in my mouth for Saratoga unfortunately.

Bought 250 pts at BWV spring 2006. Planning my 50th birthday trip with my friends(most of whom are disney virgins) the first week of January 2007. If you are at wdw on Jan 5, stop by Jellyrolls where I will be celebrating with everyone that nite. If you have never checked out Jellyrolls, you should. I went there on my own in January and was so welcomed by their incredible staff, that I ended up going back 10 nites in a row(and I don't even drink). I haven't had this much fun since I was in college in the 70's.

I bought into DVC before my 50th birthday last year and threw myself a 50th birthday party/dinner in WDW. Friend came down and I took eveyone to Jiko's for dinner. I wish I had bought in when I was 40 (like I wanted to but a certain person who I've been with for 19 years talked me out of it )

My partner and I went for a quick trip in May 2006. We have been many times and always stayed in Port Orleans Riverside. We love it there. One day it was raining on this trip and decided to get out of the rain and head over to DVC to find out more. Loved it so much that we became members. Hope resort Saratoga Springs. Upcoming trips

January 2007
Saratoga/ Disney Cruise 3 night

June 2007
Gay Days - Wilderness Lodge

December 2007
Beach Club

Always looking to meet new friends and hoped that by becoming DVC members that we would meet some gay DVCrs to go to the parks with. Take care and have fun.

Member since 2002, HHI. Best purchase ever made , but have only been to the island once. Spend all my points going to the world!

I remember back in 1995 (or around then) I wanted to buy. I think they were selling the BWV.

At any rate, Hisselfness thought it was a stupid idea.

He has lived to regret saying that! Now he wishes he hadn't stopped me from buying back then!

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Yepper. My name says it all. DVC at OKW since '96!

 

[padalyn]

When I bought in 2001 I didn't realize how much of a difference it would make in my life. I go on vacations now...I am a bit of a work a holic - this makes sure that I go away and play. With 420 points per year - I play a lot!!!

I have 3 trips planned this year - I leave on TUES!!!! Wilderness Lodge here I comme! I am flying solo this trip - is anyone going to be around? Please let me know. I am there from 6/13 - 6/19.

Since I go to Orlando for meetings often, I arranged to have my company purchase shares. (Luckily, I am the company ) Now I charge my clients market hotel costs when I go there for work and my clients pay for my timeshare. Woohoo! I usually have points to spare, so let me know if anyone needs to buy extras for a special holiday.

I see we own at the same resorts.

Hi all, New to these forums,
We have our home base at VWL. We have also stayed at SSR and OKW. We recently added more points at VWL to get a one bedroom each time we go.
We were at OKW in June for gay days,and Flower and Garden, and are going again for our annual trip in Oct, for Food and Wine.
We are from California and get to Disneyland about once a month.
