Adding Adult Children

I tend to agree with the trust. However we do not have a trust and really just did not think to form one. The California properties had the spouses sign and notarize a form stating that they held no interest in the property. (Extra Fee of course!). However we do live in a community property state as well, so may be moo

Villas at Grand Californian Owners Thread

Parking is across the street by Pixar. When we were there last, the lot was undergoing construction so they sent us to the Pixar Parking Garage. We just used Valet instead. It was a splurge, but worth it. There is an underground lot, but I believe you are correct that is valet.

Sit-down Dining Recs!

I gotta second Beaches-N-Cream. We try and go there every trip. As for a character breakfast My grandkids love Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in Epcot. All the Disney Princesses. It can be a bit of a dash to get there. There is the ever popular 'Ohana at Poly. We went for the character breakfast and it was a blast. Really

Moving To Florida/Orlando

Dont forget to visit during all seasons. When my kids were little we would visit WDW in Dec. Being from Seattle, they loved it. I had to explain why whole backyards were screened in!

New DVC Survey - 18% or $6.6k Discount

Have to agree. It's not your Grandpas DVC. And I should know I am the grandpa. We bought in in 1996 at BWV. The Theming was great and very immersive. Now all the newest resorts give medical center vibes or are just Marriott Brown towers. Point charts are nothing to brag about either. The latest refurb at BWV is showing

Airport transportation

Hmm no replies, so I thought I would jump in. We always rent a car. We have been going to WDW since the mid 90's. We had 2 daughters at the time and a car just made sense for the four of us. We live in the PNW. This is a long plane ride and it burns a whole day of vacation. So we make sure our stays are pretty long, 14

Favorite modes of transportation within WDW?

Our first home resort was BWV. The Friendships really make the difference. Walking to Epcot and HS is great in the morning, but after a long and hot day, boats are the only way to go. We also enjoy the Monorail when staying at BLT. However it can be super crowded at times.
