Thoughts on my March strategy?

Do you have spare points to book rooms? If not, it might be difficult to find 5 consecutive days. The problem is that if only one or two of the 5 days show up, you would be put in a position where you have to be roomless or wait for the other days to show up. If you wait, then those days could disappear. I would try br

Room requests

Theres a person who does best rooms named Shannon Ford on Youtube. Take a look at touring plans, too for resort views. This is for Copper Creek: If you dont like ground floor, you should book a shower studio. All tub ones are on the ground floor with a notable exveption. Theres the almost 1 BR one on each floor. So if

Flash sale on direct points at AK

I think your mind is already made up since you used the term "overpay". Overpay means lack of value. However, I would vote for getting the blue card when you can and being hybrid owners with all of the benefits. I generally subscribe to buy it nice or cry twice (or buy once cry once). That also means you shouldn't get

What travel agent offers best experience when booking DCL?

Pros of using a TA: You don't have to wait on the phone with DCL to book, change rooms, make payments, etc. Some, but not all give some OBC depending on how much you're spending. It's free. You support another small person/industry. Can usually still use all of the same traditional payment methods (cc/GC) Good ones can

Recommendations for DLR newbie / WDW vet

Just a few that I can think of - I'm sure I'm missing a bunch. Note that when I mention DL I'm referring to DL and DCA as a collective whole. Rides/Lands at DL, but not at WDW: Cars Land - best land in the US Indiana Jones (same layout as Dino - ride to extinction, but themed so much better. Queue is also awesome) Pino

DVC Travel Insurance

I use the Chase Sapphire Reserve to book flights - which automatically comes with travel insurance. Not sure it will cover DVC stays, but will cover other aspects of travel including travel delays. I also use them for car rentals as they provide primary insurance coverage (instead of secondary), so you don't need to sh

Low available resale inventory

There are tons of Feb. UY Aulani contracts. Even if they aren't 500 points, I'm not sure you want to buy just one contract that's 500 points anyways. It's easier to offload the contract if the points are smaller, and you can also incrementally offload them instead of all or nothing. If you're worried about pricing, as

On the fence about DVC resale...

I think most people should consider to be hybrid members. E.g., direct points and resale points. As for whether direct makes sense at all, are you going to complain about being a second class citizen each time they announce a special giveaway / experience/ discount for direct members only? Even if people talk about how

Divorced owners advice

The reality is that the "ex" needs to grow up. If the "ex" equally doesn't want to deal with it for 30+ years, then those are really the only two options. If the "ex" doesn't want to deal with either option, then your friend could theoretically threaten to sell her share to someone else. Then the "ex" gets to deal with
