Great to know a fellow DVC member from our area!!!! I received my card today in the mail!That makes sense. I keep forgetting if there's a way to game the system someone will figure it out.
I'm in Mass.
That's one of the things I'm worried about. We never go to a main pool. We prefer the quiet of a smaller pool. One of the reasons we sold our AKV points was no quiet pool there. It is what it is at this point like it or not.
Mickey's still not back? Who authorized this vacation? Are the geese on the entry road gone too?
As of 3 Jan, the buffalo and Mickey were still missing and not looking as though they were coming back. The geese, however, still remain in position. . .for now. . .
I don't see the attraction to the pool parties. None of my kids participated in any of that, and in fact tried to hide from it underwater. My theory is that Disney brought the DJs to the pools not so much for entertainment, but to push us away and back to the parks to spend money."Quiet pool" has never meant that pools with that designation have low sound levels. I've been at quiet pools across the various DVC resorts and had very noisy experiences at many of them. Quiet pools, in Disney-speak, means no slide. And hopefully no DJ's and games. My guess is that will still be the main pool only.
And the quiet pool at VWL is not, and never has been, solely dedicated to VWL guests. The only quiet pool I am aware of that makes that distinction is at BLT as you mentioned. No other quiet pool at DVC resorts is off limits to regular resort guests.
It is going to be a challenging time until they complete construction and we can see what the finished product will look like. But it is clear that no matter what they do, it will be significantly different. We'll just have to see if the changes are handled in a way that preserves the ambiance we have all come to love at VWL.
I couldn't agree with you more! The old Redskins owners used to be known for their standup kind of ethics, not so much anymore since being sold.Okay, I wasn't going to moan about it, but what the heck. I just have to say that the NFL owners have to be the most arrogant, unethical and despicable group of rich people ever assembled.
)and they will do it again when things dont suit them in LA. Us Panthers fans would be glad for you to jump ship and climb aboard our little life boat. You have a right too! And its a great time to join in

I do believe the owners have some say in what is going on at the pool closest to them. If you don't want the noise of the parties, make your voice heard by calling member services. Not so sure those of us who are just groupies have much sway in the matter, but I'm positive the rest of you do.
I have never voiced my concerns at Kidani over their pool party as I really don't care to use the pool as it is. Too many bees, and too exposed.
Jimmy...I love to see franchises like the Panthers. We in St. Louis are blessed to have two awesome owners for our MLB and NHL teams. I guess asking for the third one (NFL) to anything less than slimy would have been asking too much!I couldn't agree with you more!

I will say this, Jerry Richardson, owner of the Panthers is a stand up guy. Not because I am a fan, but because we see what he does here locally, and he requires a lot of his players as well to be philanthropists in the community. When Cam Newton came to town he told him he would be the face of the franchise, he expected him to be respectful, no chest bumping as a greeting to others, in other words be a a gentleman. Though Cam comes across brash at times, we see how he has grown on the news, all the good he does for kids and those around less fortunate. And believe me, I have been and remain, one of his biggest critics.
The Rams left town before(I was a kid when they did it before, LA Rams has no ring to it
