WEST Coast DVC owners.. sound off

[SoCalKDG]

We are in Corona, California (about 30 mins. away from DL) . We just bought our DVC last Dec. and we got 2 free annual passes, we decided to use that at WDW so to make the most out of it, we'll do 2 trips this year (May and Oct).

Hi neighbor.

Riverside Ca owner here. We will go twice this year, then once a year for a few years. AP holders at DLR(went Wednesday to DL).

 

[mikey13v]

Neighbor to Olympia, the State Capital. Between Seattle and Portland.
We make it to WDW 2 to 4 times a year, and DL once or twice a year. We try to balance out our annual passes so there's not a lot of overlapping between the two resorts.

 

[debbiepump]

Seattle here, depends on our other vacations throughout the year. Last year we went to WDW 3x, this year, only once.

Hi! saw your ticker looks like we'll be at WDW around the same time, We'll be at OKW/SSR on May 1-8 then SSR in Oct. Are you flying from ONT? We're flying from L.A. straight flight.

Los Angeles area. Once a year, for at least 14 days at WDW and another week or so at the beach.

 

[Disney-Kim]

Phoenix here. We bought in 2003 and go once a year for 7-8 days. We have been every year for the last 12 yrs, so DVC was a smart move.
Airfare from here used to be under $250 always....now we are lucky to get $325 pp...so that makes a difference

Klamath Falls, OR here. That's in the "booney-stickers" 25 miles from the Northern CA border. We had gone only twice in 7 years - but now that we have DVC, we have plans to to about every 1 1/2 yrs so far. We have family near DL, so we go down there almost every year.

Vancouver, WA

We've been averaging trips to WDW about twice a year...however, my family has requested we try something besides Disney (I hang my head in shame! ), so I'm shooting for at least once a year.

 

[Disney-Kim]

thats the reason we only go 1 time a year...we like to travel somewhere else for our other yearly vacation.
I know...we actually travel to other places.

but # 1 trip is always WDW....others only come after and if there is funds.
WDW is more economical than all our other trips with DVC

WDW is more economical than all our other trips with DVC

In a nutshell -- that's the problem. It's just more economical for us to go to WDW than other places (unless we drive, but I can only handle about five hours in a car and I figure if I'm doing to be stuck sitting in a confined space for that long...I might as well be on a plane to Orlando instead). Ooy, it's a vicious circle!

 

[sam7]

We're from San Francisco and we go to WDW about once a year. We have east coast relatives so we usually combine it with a visit to see them, although this year we've managed to convince some to come to FL (Vero Beach) for a few days and a Disney cruise. We've also used our points at DL staying at the Grand California and that was really nice.

["Got Disney"]

SanDiego, Ca. here...and we go about 2 times a year and also cruise everyother year on DCL....

 

[ACDSNY]

We're south of Sacramento, CA...we plan on WDW every year or two depending on airfare costs. We typically will make short trips to DL every year.

Our kids are in their 20s and still like to travel with us. DD & DSIL are already asking about paying us for points to use at DL in Sept/Oct. DS is the only one who needs a little time between trips these days.

DS keeps saying I can't turn our DGS into another Disney nut , good thing his other half doesn't think the same way. Grandson is only 3 months old, but I can't wait until we start introducing him to the Mouse House.

Hello to Vancouver from Felida! (anyone outside Clark County is not going to have the foggiest)

With 3-4 trips to WDW each year, we still do non-Disney. Went to Paris in October of 2005 (cashing in all the miles from flying to Florida!) -- of course we did do Disneyland Paris as well, but not exclusively. We leave in another week on a ten-day trip to London. And we already have September and December trips to WDW booked.

We plan on another Paris excursion in 2008, this time with our son and his family. But the Big Thing for us will be a planned trip to Tokyo with the whole family (all ten of us, with spouses and offsping) in 2009. My wife has just received a nice inheritance from her Aunt, and we plan to use part of that to take the whole family to Tokyo to visit Disney (among other things) in 2009.

jbrowna -- You are my hero!!! Don't let my daughter get wind of your European travels or she'll be trying to hitch a ride to Felida.

 

[mattnday]

We are a fmaily of 3 including a 5 year old boy and we average going to Disneyland about twice per year and recently made our first trip to DisneyWorld with our son last Thanksgiving.

We live in Elk Grove, Ca (Sacramento)

 

[tufenuff]

We live in Tehachapi Ca. and go once a year but wish it was more.

 

[juju]

We're from Seattle, been DVC members since 2000. Go to WDW 2x a year and never miss Food and Wine Festival.
Leaving at the end of the week for Tokyo and Hong Kong Disneyland!

 

[bwvBound]

Yet another from San Diego. We plan 1 or 2 trips to Orlando each year (one for business purposes and the other as "vacation").
