Taking the DVC plunge today

[Tooneric]

After thinking about it for over a year, I am taking the plunge today at 175 points BCV. I've been reading the forum a bit but new to posting, so I need some help. How do you guys post your past Disney experiences on the bottom of your messages and those other cool icons, etc?

We've been 5 of the last 6 years to Disneyworld, getting away from Mardi Gras in N.O. It's been a great experience, and I look forward to being in the DVC. Should have done it a while ago, but we've enjoyed the FW Cabin, GF, two years at the Poly. So BCV will be a bit of a change. I'll miss the monorail, but the access to Epcot seems convenient. Not to mention the many other vacation options. We visited DVC this year and finally decided to go for it.

One question I have: My DD (9) and DS (10) don't particularly want to sleep together. Too much arm flinging and cover stealing going on. I like the one bedroom suite, but there is no day bed available. Only a sofabed for the kids. Thinking of one of those self inflating mattresses for DS. The Poly has a day bed in the room with 2 queens, so they haven't had to share a bed as of late. Thanks for your help!

Congratulations and Welcome Home!
Although I have never done it I know some folks do bring an inflatable mattress for an extra bed. As long as you are within the occupancy limits (and some folks would say even if you aren't, but that's another story) it is fine.

Congratulations and Welcome Home! Keep the peace.The air mattress sounds like a good idea.

We have a queen aero bed, and my son preferred to sleep on that rather than the sofa bed. There was more than enough room to put the aerobed in the living room. The only problem might be if that person is a light sleeper and there are others that are early risers and want to get into the kitchen in the morning.

Welcome home, and congratulations on your decision.

When we took our tour before we joined and our guide said to bring an air mattress(DD is 11 and DS is 9) for DS to sleep on.She said that a perfect place to set it up is in the entryway of the unit. It looked like a perfect spot!

Welcome home
If they like camping,just use a sleeping bag. My DS loves to sleep in the sleeping baf. On our last trip the younges child with us liked sleeping on the bench behind the dining table.

Thanks for your help! The aerobed sounds like the way to go. And thanks SCDizney Dawn. I set up a signature with our trips, as I enjoy seeing where others have stayed over the years. Looking forward to going home next Mardi Gras, and mayyyyybe sneaking in a trip before then.
