We initially bought at BWV and since added on at AKV, BLT and on my side of the world, VDH and VCG total points now stand a little north of 1K. Dues are my limiting factor. We won't be adding on to our point totals but may shuffle a bit. We would like more AKV and VGC. (who wouldn't?). So we are faced with some hard ch
Before we retired it was one trip a year. Now we have a lot more flexibility. We usually do 2 weeks at WDW and 5 to 7 at DLR. The ToT at VDH is a real killer for longer stays. We also pick the events such as this year in October with Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party and last year for Flower and Garden.. May was muc
I really hope so. As others have stated, the DVC side of the Boardwalk is dead dead dead and has been for quite sometime. However Disney is pretty stingy with news and plans. Sad really.
We thought the same thing as well. Long expensive plane ride! That's why we bought enough points for 2 week stays in a 1 bedroom. That way we do not feel rushed and it feels more like a vacation home. Having a kitchen and laundry really helps as well. Dont have to pack as much and you can save a ton by eating in the ro
Hmm I will be 86 when zero day happens. We have owned BWV since 1996. You can ask @DVCDerek what happened when DVD offered extensions at OKW. It was a nightmare for the guides. I would love to see a complete refurb and then re offering the points. However if current trends continue, they will bulldoze it and put in an
Limited only by your Dues!
So Everet not Anaheim, I misunderstood. Sounds like fun. I may have to check it out. Thanks!
Have not been to a D23. Crowds, Heat, Not my thing. However, maybe one day.. Next trip is October to WDW for MNSSHP then April 2027 to DLR with the grandkids.
Leaving the Driz to go to the Sun! Have a great Trip!
+1 as well. We have always rented a car and agree, it is well worth the expense. Using DVC as a home base for other side trips is priceless. It has become a family tradition to visit GatorLand every trip. Not to mention the trips to the grocery store or to Steak-N-Shake. (We do not have Steak-N-Shake around us). Freedo
@UrsulaWantsYourSoul Fancy seeing you here! I follow you on the DisBoards where we go by RickNJane. We are down the street in Covington Wa. Great to see so many DVC PNW here. Long plane ride makes for a long stay! We did moonlight magic at DLR California Adventure. Was not as good as the one at AK! Next trip is in Octo
Hi Ryan, We are from Seattle and have been members since 1996 with a 250 point purchase at BWV. I was at the Boardwalk for a conference and brought the wife. She did a lot of resort hopping while I was in meetings. She pulled me into a DVC presentation at the boardwalk and the rest is history. We took the family the fo
We do the Sorcerer pass. Very worth it for us. Besides the possible cost savings, it gives us real flexibility. We dont have to worry about park hopping or if we have enough days left on a ticket. We just go. We also pay with points. I know not the best use of points, but it works for us as we always seem to have a few
Expanded Monorail that actually runs. The Monorail really needs some love. It does not run most afternoons in the heat. It is ragged around the edges. Expand the loop, update the trains. Add a stop in the new addition.
If not I'm riding our BWV points into the sunset! @DVCDerek can tell you what a mess OKW was when they offered an extension. I dont think they will do that. Unfortunately.
Same! We do split stays 1 week at BLT and 1 week at BWV. Walk to all parks but AK! We sometimes change it up a bit with AKV.
We started in 1996 at BWV. We bought 250 points (a real stretch for us then). This would allow us to have a 1 or 2 bedroom stay for a week. By Banking and borrowing points we could make 2 or more week stays. We had many great family trips at BWV, and OKW. We even used our points to stay at Grand Californian and Disneyl
