Not ROFR thread - general discussion

, were you able to remain firmly in that camp even after trying one/two bedrooms?

We mix back and forth. Our style is mostly short trips/park warrior with “time awake in room” maybe 30 minutes in the AM, 30-60 mid-day between parks, and 30min at night (for kids) and 90m (adults). We love the villas for the fridge, washer/dryer, and soaking tub but can live without out on a 4 day or less trip…more than 4 days and we want to be in a villa.

I’m already being asked to bring school friends on these trips - far earlier than I expected - so part of me wonders if I should just admit defeat now.

Do you drive or fly? We let kids occasionally bring friends to our local park (DLR) for a day, but even if you have space in your room, the extra park tickets, food, LLs, flights, all add up to at least an extra $1000 per guest.

Ultimately I think it’s about tradeoffs — do you want to take fewer more luxurious/comfortable trips or more trips on studios? The answer will vary by family.

I like the idea of having a 4-day threshold for the studio vs one bedroom…although all of our trips are usually a week + so I guess I have my answer

The other challenge is that I’ve been working remotely for a few days on our longer stays and have found that having the door to the bedroom for work has been invaluable - both for me and DD.

We fly to WDW so yep bringing a friend will definitely add to our costs - I was budgeting $1500 all in.

We bought into DVC after our first 1 br villa stay at a DVC resort. Our son had just hit preteen years and we could see where the added privacy and space was going to be the way to travel. We only utilize studios on short stays now or couples trips.

Non-DVC, just Disney: Anyone seen Hoppers yet? I thought it was fantastic. Pixar hit it out of the park with this one.

Yep, great movie. Wife and I both loved it! It made me feel a bit bad we had to have some beavers trapped/removed from the property a couple years ago

We live just past a lake and our creek that goes under our driveway is the overflow. Beavers were ruining our driveway and making a flood plain! We had no choice

My son is asking and asking to go. I was kind of wanting to wait and see if it’s shown on our cruise in April. Hard to wait though.

Omg we literally just got out of it, both my wife and I cried, no spoilers here but what a great message and I hope people take something from it and def relevant to the times! I hope there's another one!
