Question of the Day: If you could change the DVC expiration model to a rolling 50-year term from your specific purchase date, would you prefer that over the current fixed-end-date association model?

I am torn but voted yes because I think it would create more value for everyone who purchases direct points to get the same duration. I also think this still provides valve for resale contracts where you could get a contract at a lower price per point for less remaining years or a longer contract still at a discount fr

Unpopular DVC Opinions

Sometimes, you can get a better view. I would argue one of the best views we have ever had was at BWV. I m also not so concerned about Bus transportation. We are on vacation and a few minutes On a bus or the walk back to the room is fine with us

Saratoga vs Old Key West

My heart and contract says OKW but there are positive and negative things about both. We have stayed at SSR most recently and like mentioned the room updates were great. But on the 1 Bdrm side I kind of prefer OKW, even with the current sofa bed ( that I don't have to sleep on) the space just works better, and there ar

Dining at SSR

Artists Pallet is probably one of the better quick serves. my kids really like the Margarita Pizza and they have a good selection of desserts. Not sure if it's a must try, but worth stopping by.

Boardwalk Villas Identity Going Forward

We stayed at BWV 2 years ago and it seems to be going the wrong way. Now, there was little chance of us buying anything from the art gallery before it closed, but now with another empty space I can just imagine how vacant it feels walking out towards Atlantic dance hall (also wasted space). It was probably a great time

I want to feel like I am on vacation and not like its one of the 20 other hotels I stay in for work. This is probably one of the biggest reasons we li

What's Your Use Year?

We have August because we used to alternate between Thanksgiving and Christmas (wifes family lives in Kissimmee and Winter Haven). Now we have been going every July for Daughters dance finals which is not ideal, but two more years and we can revert back to times less like the surface of the sun.

Favorite modes of transportation within WDW?

Most of our stays have been at OKW, SSR & AKV so other than a boat ride or walking to DS, we have mostly used the Buses. The Skyliner is more of an attraction to us than a mode of transportation. Its been shut down a bunch of times during trips where we have stayed near it and we travel in July and it can be a little w

The Membership Magic Beyond Option

Like most the OTU points have been worth it the last 2 years. But if we thinking crazy I know there never doing free tickets ever again but I would like to see a significantly better discount on the ones they offer. Most of the time the standard deals are better and you're not blocked out of weekends. Something like th
