We have Thomas Costanzo, but he was assigned to us as our original guide left to pursuit bigger & better things. His name was Ron Allen. Never met Tom but each time we are there we say we are going to introduce ourselves to him.

Oh well vacation time is precious!

Our guide is Glenn Wilson. Nice, low-key guy. I respected him from the start-I took the tour solo, DH was at home and it was really something for me to do. But he gave me all the info, not like I was wasting his time, as I've heard happens in my situation alot. Well, it paid off for him! I got home, popped the tape in, let DH look at everything, and he wanted very much to buy. Bought 150 points, now we have 310, mostly through Glenn.

Our guide is Bruce Douglas as well. About as friendly as a two-by-four. Never calls, writes, or anything. Sold us BWV, and never heard from him except the standard postcard.

Called him once while down at WDW, left a message, and never heard from him.

I guess they are "salesmen" and not anything else.

i didn't read all 9 pages, but our guide isn't listed in the first post. her name is Veronica. i can't recall her last name. she's very good, i remember her leaving us a msg on our first trip home and when we added on a few months ago she was fantastic about call backs, etc. (which is very important imo).

I can't even tell you the name of our guide without digging out the papers....we never hear from him and he was far from helpful. In fact, he didn't even know when we added on an additional 25 points.....that's how "out of it" it is.

Mary Mannix

We had Mary Mannix also, but she is no longer with DVC. I found out when I called to add-on some points. I was transferred to Bernard Lebeaupin. He was very helpful and a pleasant person.

Does any one else have Bobby Corsello? We were already sold on DVC before we did the tour. He was honest with us when we said we would like to use our points to stay in Las Vegas and advised us against that. He did push the fact that we could exchange. Having said that we have exchanged and used points in Disneyland Paris easily so we are now very pleased.

Since we came back to UK we have bought an add on and he did organise it really quickly with all the paperwork arriving in the UK on time and was very impressed with the organisation of this.

Surprised he has not been mentioned.

I believe the "Chris" mentioned in the list is Chris Mansour. He was our guide when we purchased in 95.

I won't post the name of our original guide who gave us a tour, but I wish he had been more like this one. Ours felt like a used-car salesman using sleaze pressure tactics that really turned us off. Had nothing bad to say about DVC, pushed using points at other DVC resorts as a great option, and used "math" with absurd starting assumptions to "prove" what a great financial deal it was. We are not idiots, and did not like being treated like ones.

It was bad enough that we nearly decided against joining DVC. Thanks to our own research and the DIS DVC boards, we thankfully changed our minds and bought resale through TTS without a problem. It took 2 attempts, but we also had our guide re-assigned (since it seems once you've done a tour, you would normally be permanently assigned to that guide).

We don't foresee purchasing more add-on points for a while, and don't need to get personal attention with phoned "how are you doing?"s, but I can see how a good guide could be great for some people. So, it's good to see people have had good experiences with their guides.

Linda Streetman is our guide, and our friends guide, and our inlaws guide, and our friends brother's guide.

So put Linda down for at least 4 from me! She is the best......
