Wow, Great Question. I think it all boils down to where you want to stay. Resort availability at 7 months can be rough, so I dont get the concept of Sleep Around Points these days. Currently we have 3 home WDW resorts. Initially we thought it would be hard to manage, but it really has not. We tend to stay for 14 -15 da
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
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.
Congrats and Welcome Home! Hope you love it as much as we! Taking our Grandkids for their First DLR trip in April. They are WDW vets at this point. I am excited to how they like it!
From last years Flower and Garden, with an AK thrown in.
OK sorta off topic, but we love OKW for the privacy as well. It is more like a Condo complex than a hotel. It is always our go to for 7 months. now back on topic. I think the new rules are great, at least on the surface. It will be all about how it is implemented and enforced. Fo far it sounds very reasonable. We alway
Wow, sorry for tough trip. Normally WL has such a great vibe! One of our favorite resort hopping stops.
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
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! The first trip we took them during "Spring" kinda cured them of wanting to move. Hot, Humid, Bugs, and Thunderstorms. I originally grew u
My wife grew up with Steak-N-Shake, but there are none where we live now. So every trip, it is off to a Steak-N-Shake at least a couple of times so she can get her fix.
I second that. BWV and BLT are great. Our only resort where bus transport is a must is AKV. It has other redeeming qualities that make it worthwhile.
Love the page. Is there a button or menu item. I can just bookmark it, but it would be great to have this page handy like on the sidebar or in the notifications. Or am I just missing it?
For the most part I like how this forum is evolving. All the recent changes have been pretty great and is really helping the usability. One thing I would love to see is a way to list all the recent posts across ALL forums and threads. Perhaps I am just missing it. In notifications I can see activity on my watched threa
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
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
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.
We pay monthly. Better to spread across the year for our budget. We have multiple contracts and monthly payments just seem to work better. Once set up, We just dont have to worry about it.
Welcome Home! We are taking our grandkids for their first DLR trip next April. Cannt wait to see what they think of VDH. They are WDW veterans with stays at BLT, BWV and AK under their belts. Very excited to see how they like VDH and VGC.
