What a day!!! Up bright an early to get AP rates for my CSR ressie. I had thought last night I was actually going to book WL because it was only $30 more/nt. Then I discovered WL didn't have hi speed internet---have to work this trip, no more vac. time.

After 90 mins on hold I find out no AP for CSR. Checked CR but by that time the $174 rooms were gone and the rate was $219. Remember I've only stayed at POP with a $49 rate. To me these rates are up there!!! But big mouth me promised my ds we'd go for his 9th b-day since the AP's don't expire until SEpt before I realized it was regular season not value!

So I spent half the day trying to figure out what to do when it came to me...what about DVC? To make a long story short I ended up with POP from June 16-19, then we'll move over to VWL for the last 5 nts. The three days at POP I can work from my blackberry and use dial up if necessary. VWL has high speed.

Total cost is $948 for 8nts which is less than my caa rate at csr for 7nts.

I am so excited but at the same time not looking forward to changing resorts. Some of you may recall me saying more than once I am too lazy to switch resorts mid trip because i am a complete unpacker. But those weekend pt values at the DVC are insane!!! And a 5 nt trip is out of the question!

I have always been more than happy with POP, I am afraid after VWL I will never go back to POP again!
 
Good for you. It is true that after a deluxe it is really hard to go back to the value resorts but it can be done.
 
WL is our favorite by far! You will love it and not want to do anything less than Deluxe after you've tried it.

Make sure you ask for "MT" as your server in Whispering Canyon!
 
Tracey, good for you! It sounds like you put a lot of effort into the planning, but what you ended up doing sounds wonderful.

What can you tell me about renting points?

We are planning on 10 nights 12/2006 and I have considered doing a split stay between POP and DVC at WL or AKL (preferably at AKL if they even have DVC). We would be going during value season.

Have a wonderful vacation.
