What Finally Got Me to Decide to Buy Direct

[PolyRob]

In my small mind, my reasoning that it wont be lumped is that the island tower is called the Polynesian Island Tower and has the name Polynesian in it.

Since Lakeshore Lodge isnt Fort Wilderness Lodge and they dont bear the same namesake in any capacity, they cant possibly be associated

PVB IT was given it's name May of 2024 after Yvonne Chang had already announced the tower would join the existing PVB Condo Association at the Condo Association meeting in December 2023.

I love resorts that have a lot of activities as well. There is so much out there. Canoeing, horses, golf carting, wild life. I was really loving the Western vibe out there. We explored it more this time and we're liking what we saw. I also like to BBQ, thats the aspect I like about camping just the gathering around the fireplace, BBQing, talking etc. It seems like a place where a lot of family traditions are made.

If they allowed my cats I think I would be sold ive never done that before, taken them on vacation, but California actually has a lot of cat friendly hotels and were going to try it out in an Airbnb in the mountains next month the cats are def part of the family, would love for them to go. Universal accepts cats so we could do a split stay if they allowed them. You could do that with your dogs if you like universal next time!

Was it hard to get a booking? If it goes well with your dog and you love it, I say go for it, if it gets rolled into lsl you will have scored big time, but regardless if that's what you love then it makes sense!

Our guide actually owns at cfw and he absolutely loves going for the holidays!

Wow, do your cats travel well? I remember growing up, just getting our cat in a carrier to go to the vet was such an ordeal...

I was able to book the Cabins in February right at the 7 month mark, but they go immediately because after I booked, I went back to see if anymore were available and they weren't.

The problem with the cost of the Cabins is not just the high dues, but the pet fee and golf cart rental also add up. For our 8 nights, it's adding on another $850ish.

But if we did buy, a fixed week in December would be the dream!

Do you think the lsl name could change? They released that way early

I dont know, we've never traveled with them, so that might be a one and done

Yes I was talking to my wife about the cabins yesterday and she asked me if the golf cart was included, the way I laughed

I would be shocked if it were 2 different associations. That is why the dues at the cabins are so high right now. Once LSL opens, they will decrease. Just my opinion.

Does she like it as much as you My wife was threatening to join the boards last night

Not as much. I think she likes being there with me and feels comfortable there and does enjoy it. But I could easily see her not going back much if something happened to me.

But I guess she’ll have to because her name is on all the contracts

And my sons have given me a strict limit of one Disney trip with them per year

 

[ClaraOswald]

I did, but my wife didnt know we were buying until today

I'm nosy and I can't remember....are you a man or are you a woman? Either could have a wife so I was just wondering.

And my sons have given me a strict limit of one Disney trip with them per year

Are they not big fans? How old are they? I hope my son always loves going to the parks.

I just overdid it a bit when we first joined DVC
Oops.

They’ll come back around (or be disinherited)

I was really intrigued by them when we headed over there this month.

We did the holiday sleigh ride and it took us through various cabins that people decorated and went all out. We love the holidays and to decorate and it seems people really love them.

My wife loves camping, me not so much, so I was like maybe this would be a nice compromise to stay here. I get my Disney and she gets the camping feel without us having to actually go camping.

My reservations with thinking about owning there if we love it really would have to do with the layout and lack of washer and dryers. I don't think the mf are going to be so high forever but I also dont believe it will be rolled into LSL so who knows.

What do you like about the cabins? It seems like the people who like them are very die hard love them and that makes me think its something special

"Glamping" is the DVC guide lingo LOL!
