We cannot take the heat, so florida and most of the south is out. The climate here in seattle is about perfect for us. We tend to take our trips during the "gloomy" winter days when the weather down south is more hospitable.
We bought our BWV contract back in 1996! 2042 seemed like a whole world away. We will be in our mid 80's when it expires. We love BWV. Your first is always special! We plan on holding on until the end. Our kids loved it (still do) and now our grandkids love it. Have no idea what Disney will do. If an extension is offer
Well we are there! We have enough points for extended stays. We now take 2 trips a year. One to WDW and one to DLR. We have always stayed in a 1 bedroom, but in the old days had to bank and borrow to make it happen every other year . After we added on, we can just book annually. We take our grown kids and grandkids, bu
We have never used our points "perfectly". We usually bank what we have left. Some years we borrow. We also use points to get the Sorcerer's pass.
Thanks! Dont really have a desire to stay in a Poly Bungalow, Maybe a TreeHouse at SSR. We did stay for a week in a 3 bedroom grand villa at Jambo House. That will be very hard to beat! 3 balconies and a Pool Table!
1008 points over 5 resorts and 7 contracts. 250 BWV 250 BLT 150 AKV 150 VDH 208 VGC over 3 contracts May add on a few more AKV and VGC.
Renew AP is the biggest. The rest is just gravy!
Just a little update. We got our MNSSHP tickets for our October trip. Final Reservations made for our Split stay with grandkids at DLR next April. 5 nights VDH and 6 Nights VGC. Now the hard part. Waiting to Leave!!
We own 3 home resorts at WDW, BWV, BLT, and AKV. So Split Stays are a natural fit for us. We usually do at least 5 days per home resort on each trip. Thats right a 3 way split. Each resort has it's own charm and vibe, so it's like having 3 vacations! In California we own both GCV and VDH so Split stays there as well. M
Yup cannt escape the TOT. (which means death in German, BTW!). I think cheap materials is a DVC wide issue. THe newest refurbs can be a little shoddy as well. Bummer
Hi @DVCken We bought VDH sight unseen when it first went on sale. We missed out on VGC when it was first offered as kids, life, etc were in the way. Being in Seattle, we can get down to California much easier than Orlando so we took the plunge. Almost regret it. Dont get me wrong, it is a great resort. It is Beautiful,
Hi @DisneyMom Another Fellow Suburban Seattleite here. We have been members since the kids were small, way back in 1996. Bought at Boardwalk and never looked back. We now own at 3 WDW resorts and the 2 in California. We are also an anomaly since we bought all our points direct when they were running different incentive
Amen. Now redeye flights for anymore either. So you waste 2 days getting there. 1 day in the air and 1 day recovering. Not Optimal!~
Our home airport is SeaTac here in Seattle. it is close to the longest flight in the lower 48. 6 hours plus. We have 2 choices for non stop. Alaska and Delta. We have been flying Delta for years and have pretty good luck. Howerver 2 days of vacation is pretty wasted on having our buts in airplane seats. We almost alway
You are Spot on IMNSHO! The outside of PIT screams Medical Center, not Island Paradise. From other posts I gather that Bell Services has not worked out how to serve the tower well. Long Waits, No shows, etc. I have talked to many members that share the poor opinion of all that is PIT. But it continue to sell. To each t
Hey all, Already posted about our October trip to BLT and BWV. Reservations all made for that one. Just waiting on getting MNSSHP tickets. We are taking the Grandkids (and parents) to DLR in April. Split stay VDH and VGC. Happy to report that VDH reservations have been made. Now waiting to make the VGC part. First week
May is going to be a big month for reservations at grandpa's house. First we have a trip to DLR planned with the grandkiddos in April, so May is 11 month mark. This is going to be their first DLR trip. We have taken them several times to WDW and they loved it. Great to see the magic through their eyes. And yes their pa
