Why only one DVC in California?

I'm glad that we can all agree that we have different opinions and live with that.



I didn't know this about you. I feel your pain on this one. Before I retired, I had a 52 mile commute each way, and we don't have snow where I live, so this must be very difficult.

For me, what I love about being on vacation is not having to feed the cats twice a day. Yes we are crazy cat ladies, just like the stereotype. While it is not THAT big of a deal, opening all the cans, washing all the plates is a pain, I love not having to do that on vacation! I rarely drive other than to the grocery store or doctor, but I don't enjoy it, so it is nice to have Disney take care of that.



The last thing that I would want to do is trudge around a Disney park all day long and then come back to the Villa and cook, but luckily we don't go commando like you do. This trip to WDW we have far less in room meals. We like breakfast in the room because it's quicker and cheaper. Mostly I cook in the room to give Fran a break so she can take a nap while I'm preparing dinner.


On the other hand, in May I picked DVC not for going to the parks, but a place where I could invite 10 friends to come stay with me and I could cook an awesome meal while we play pool and watch World of Color out the window!

THIS is what I love best about being local DVC members!! It's been awhile since we have stayed in the grand villa but maybe soon! Enjoy your time in the best & biggest room!!

I was at DL mid Feb and stopped by the DVC desk at the GC, the cm suggested that there will be more DVC presence in the not to distant future. When I pressed if that meant opening more GCV, converting some DLH, or something else, he simply said he wasn't permitted to discuss the current plans. Perhaps there is reason to hope for more DVC rooms out west?

Or perhaps - more likely - the reason that he couldn't discuss it was because he doesn't actually know anything!

When the Villas first opened the bellmen were all over the rumor that one of the towers at the DLH would be converted. Then the rumor stopped. Maybe they're back to that idea again. It really would be nice to have an additional option there. I wouldn't be buying in, but I might possibly stay if I wasn't already at the Grand.
