Hi Everyone! We've had a bad year with all of us getting sick, needing surgeries and just stress. We need some Disney magic!!

I am really hoping to use last years banked points to pull off a miracle stay at the end of August. Not sure if I can manage the flights at this point but we could get a nice, quiet 8 night trip if I can figure things out. *fingers crossed*

We will really try to make the meet up in September. With the way things are going, I don't want to commit right now for certain! But Jon and I should make it, and we'll bring my daughter Bella who will be 9 then. We had a great time but Bella had an amazing time with the other kids! She's been begging me for play dates since then but life just got crazy. So, she'll be happy to come along.

I hope everyone else is doing well, better than us anyway!

Thank you! I've been furiously searching for plane tix less than $650 for two people.


Plus, I have never actually stayed at DVC on my own points before! So I'm learning how to navigate the DVC site. It would be SO much easier if you could search all resorts for say, studios, instead of having to go into each one. At this late time, I might end up at SSR though it may work out at Old Key West, my home resort. OKW has all my days with the exception of one right in the middle. I can wait list it and pray it comes through.

We really can't afford lots of days in the parks so this would be a "resort" kind of vacation. It would be great to do a split stay at say, OKW and then maybe AK if we could get in. Boardwalk or Beach Club would be amazing but I imagine impossible. I won't have a car or anything so having lots at the resort would be ideal. This is a trip we could really explore and the more activities offered at the resort the better.

Anyone have any tips for either finding cheap airfare or what I should expect trying to get a room on this short notice? Any chance of a few days at AK or just stick with OKW or SS? I know all the resorts offer activities through community center, but that might get boring for 8 days lol.

I use orbitz as only a guide then i go on all the sites Jet blue , SW , then last resorts Delta and American,

as per DVC I have never had luck with the wait list , but it does not mean you might not get lucky !!! i have had to book twice last minute and only got SSR but it is a nice resort as long as you are close to the main bluilding .
good luck

Hi....Sorry to hear that your year has been off to a rough start. We didn't have any plans for a Disney trip this year, but my year has been very stressful as well so with short notice (3 weeks) we planned a Disney trip and we are here now. We got pretty good airfares from Jetblue and got Saratoga for our DVC. Not our first choice, but that was the only thing available. I think you will have no problem getting Saratoga, it is so big. Just wanted to let you know that if you do get Saratoga, ask for The Springs. Since you will not have a car, it is close to the Carriage House, the main building, food court, arcade, laundry, pool with slide. It is a walk, but there is a ferry to the Marketplace, otherwise you can take a bus. Good luck, I really hope you can go. If you have any other question, please ask me.

We are going in a few weeks and ended up booking JetBlue out of JFK...we paid more than we ever have for flights this time around. I shopped for months though. We are doing a weekend departure so that factors into the higher price a bit.. Shopped Southwest out of Islip because we prefer that airport, and didn't find any great fares! After I booked JetBlue, the fare for our flight dropped a bit...I called them and they put the difference in price as a travel credit with them which is good for one year. They are one of a few airlines that do this so at least we have it to use toward future travel or I could even apply to toward someone else if I want to.

We've gone to WDW many times, but this is our first trip as DVC members. We are doing a split stay at AKV Kidani and the VWL. We are pretty excited about it!!!!

Just returned from our first stay as DVC members. We also did a split stay and loved every minute of our new membership. We did BLT and SSR.
Wishing a magical welcome home!!

Thank you so much!!! We booked a Standard View at Kidani and wait listed a Savanna View... We were watching YouTube videos of the rooms to see what it looked like and the person had a savanna view...my kids were bummed out because we didn't have one. I was losing faith in the wait list coming through as we are leaving in a little less than two weeks and yesterday we got an email that the wait list came through!!! That was the final thing I was hoping for!!!

We hope you can both make it Diane. I look forward to sharing trip reports and upcoming plans.

I mentioned the get together to someone non-DVC now that is interested in finding out about buying resale vs direct and other questions.

Will we all be together somehow? ...or will there be people at tables in smaller groups? Will we be in the parking lot? Just wondering.

Hi Denis , I cannot talk for Joe but i would guess knowing this place if we tailgate we can group the cars or knowing Joe his Harley and we can bring a few portable tables and chairs would be the easiest and really fun?
