Haven't purchased yet but am interested. Read someone's post and they really liked their guide, Michelle McAllister, so I asked for her and she's now guiding us through the process. Wonderful lady and very easy to work with.

KATHY RADER! Kathy is our guide and we adore her. She's a hoot with a lot of energy and is always informational with her can do attitude. We bought SSR points last fall from her and during our visit home last week bought an add-on from her and very much enjoyed the visit! Thanks for doing this list of guides, it has been very informative!

Our guide is Nick Tamberino. He was very nice to us and we liked him a lot. He humored me even with all of my type A questions and was very patient with my husband in giving him space and time to think about it.

Come on everyone... Don't just look... post your guide!!! It's easy

Our guide is Julie Hughes. I haven't talked to her for a while, no reason, but she was extremely pleasant and did a great job for us.

Carol Ann DeAngelo - we were a piece of cake for her; we purchased almost sight unseen and added on a few years later. Her role in both situations was pure order taking, little or no consultation. I think I've spoken with her at most three times, all brief logistical check-in calls.

Nick Tamburrino is our guide; very easy going and we enjoy working with him.

Scot MacDonald, very, very nice guy but I am still irritated he told me that when you used points to book at DLR hotels in California you got free park hoppers. Thats for Disneyland Paris only. Don't think he was dishonest, just wrong. I called and talked to him about this and he was still maintaining it was the way he told us and was very short on the phone. I called MS after talking with him (incidentally it was a fellow disboarder who gave me the sad news that no free park hoppers for DL). I finally gave up because it was about to put me into cardiac arrest I was so mad. I wonder if he ever figured it out? If he's reading this (he said he reads disboards but again he says a lot of things), its Paris, Scot, not Anaheim!!! It was disappointing as well that we bought 400 points on a Saturday and when I called him on Tuesday, he had no idea who we were. I had to give him about 20 cues, "remember, we had two kids, my husband is bald, we talked about Marco Island, you told us you were going to MGM the next day with your family". I felt like a horse's a**! He didn't return my second call and I have never heard from him again. It was disappointing because we really liked him and thought that with that one exception he did a terrific job. If he would have just said, "gosh, I was wrong, I am so sorry" it would have all been fine. If I ever add on points it will not be through him, I'll go outside Disney. I notice I have a new guide assigned to me. Maybe he left.

Our guide is Robin Daniels too. We tried to contact her several times and she NEVER returns our calls (even when we call during our DVC vacations!). We just came back from a stay at SSR and we were told the following:

1. Robin works from home and is never available for meetings on site. The next day we were told that Robin was "no longer with the company" and we would be assigned to a new guide. It hasn't happened yet and since then we received a mass email from Robin so I don't know what's going on.
2. An email we received 6 days earlier about buying additional BWV points was "a mistake" by the Marketing Department (read: email was sent out 6 weeks after new points were acquired and long since scooped up)

We spoke with Bill Wahl while we were there and he wasn't great. We told him that we specifically wanted to purchase additional points at our home resort and his reply was "Oh, they're sold out. I don't know who told you we had points there. Can I talk you into something else?" YUCK!! Anyway, we left with nothing and are now looking to purchase through resale.

Sorry I deviated a little from the topic, but I'm hoping to solicit recommendations for a new guide. I definitely don't want these few bad situations to overshadow the otherwise great experiences we have had with DVC, but it does get frustrating.

Paul Kuhn is our guide. No complains, nice laid back guy!

 

[bpmorley]
