Hey guys, I have a favor to ask. Does anyone know if the "system is down" at DVC? I am trying to rent points from someone who I just met on the points for rent section, and everything seems fine. But when I rented one time before, they offered to mail me a printed confirmation of the ressie, and this lady says that she travels and doesn't have access to the printed ressie to give me. She says the conf # is all I will need. She said she doesn't have the on-line profile set up b/c she needs a password or something and hasn't set it up yet. I feel weird driving all the way to FL with no confirmation showing my name on a ressie. She said she was willing to set up her profile so she can print the confirmation which is on-line but that DVC's system was down right now and couldn't help her set it up. Does all this make sense to you guys, or do you think I should be suspicious? She 3-way called me with DVC to set up the ressie, so all that seemed legit. My only concern is in a case of possibly a divorce where two people may be arguing over points, etc. I wouldn't want my ressie cancelled. It's a really good deal at a great resort (Vero) so I really want to believe this! Advice, anyone? You guys are my only buddies...I have been chatting with you guys about the lOdge for a while and wondered if you would give me some experienced advice. Thanks, Moosies!

I just logged into DVCMember site just fine.

Does this poster have many posts ? You could ask for references if that would make u feel better. I've only rented from a Member on DIS one time. But the renter asked that I supply 2 references and she did as well. Made us both feel better about the transaction. There's got to be a certain amount of pure trust when doing a transaction. The fact u had a 3-way conversation with DVC on the line makes it sound legit.

Good luck.

Good advice, thanks. I asked her if she would like one of my references, and she said "that's okay." To make myself feel better tonight, I called the actual front desk of the resort, and I asked them if they could take a peak at my reservation, and they pulled it up by my name, gave me the dates & everything. So, now I feel much better. My guess is that maybe she hasn't rented as often and maybe isn't used to all the fine details such as the references, etc. She has nearly 80 posts, but when I click on "view all posts," nothing comes up. Does that make sense? Thanks, guys.

Yay!!! I had been waiting to book our airfare for our Dec. trip and almost pulled the trigger two days ago. Tonight I decided I ought to check again and our flight prices had dropped by $250 per person!!!!! That'll pay for a few Mickey bars.

Just in case anyone still has to book you might want to check out fares again. Our flights were on USAirways. They had done this same thing last year but I had already booked so I had to pay a "change" fee in order to get some money back. Whew - I was sweating it out this year.

We found out yesterday that Disney passed on the ROFR - so we just need to finalize the paperwork, and we will be Wilderness Lodge DVC owners!!!

Just curious based on your location. How often do you get to the World? NZ sure is a loooong way from FLA!

Congratulations.

What a coincidence, my boss is a Kiwi (he's a great boss).
Anyway, the lodge is a wonderful place. Many happy vacations.

Hey Groupies,

Thought I would check in one last time before departing for the airport. Hope to have some pics up for you guys by Monday. We should be getting by the lodge on Sunday. I can't believe my daughter is officially a teenager and acting like one. I asked her what she wanted to do our first day in Disney and she said "Can we sleep in?" That is NOT the Disney NAZI I raised! She has been spending too much time with her mom..

Congrats dsquarednz! Great choice!

Good for you to have the patience and wisdom to wait to book your flights!

We were just there in Sept, and we are planning to go again next Sept. After that, maybe 2 years? We'll see - all depends if we can get a airfare deal! (Next year we have a free flight due to airline points).

Hello Groupies

Busy Groupies! Mamagg, I hope everything works out for your rental. That search feature for posters rarely works, I wouldn't let that bother you. Let us know when you return how everything worked out.

Yay Kat4! Glad you got a deal with the airfare.

dsquarednz! Congratulations!! We have not seen you in forever!! Great news.

DisneyNutzy, have a good trip to the world. We anxiously await the wonderful pictures you are going to post!!!!
Have a wonderful time!
