When do you think the Poly is going to sell out?

Based on the latest sales data, and assuming it continues at the same pace, Poly is due to sell out in approx. 27 months. They have sold 42.4% of the points.

What's Your Use Year?

My use year is February, thanks partially to my ex-husband who convinced me that the use year didn't really matter given we rarely cancel trips. (We initially purchased a BLT resale contract, and the price was right.) While this is true, I wish I had listened to my instinct and followed the philosophy that @airjay75 la

Disney Treasure vs. Star of the Seas

While we haven't done those ships, we did the Disney Wish and Utopia of the Seas back to back two weekends in a row last year. Despite being a Disney die hard, I preferred Utopia/Royal's overall product. Royal's wider variety of dining options/times and wider variety of activities and entertainment offerings on board r

Trip Reports

DL 6/25/26-6/29/26

We'll be there just two days before you, staying 6/23 and 6/24 at VDH for my son's 10th birthday! We'll move to VGC if the waitlist comes through (unlikely, but...) We are locals so will probably spend most of the time by the pool and enjoying the resort instead of in the parks. I have Blue Bayou booked for my son's bi

Those who were around when BLT was constructed may remember that they denied the existence or claimed ignorance about the building even as it was completely vertical

Upcoming 2026 Trips (Disney and Other)

June: VDH trip for my son's 10th birthday (waitlisted at VGC) July: Keyholder Vacations/DVC Fan cruise (and my 40th!) with stays at AKL and Boardwalk before and after. I'll be coming with two friends from CA who are also celebrating their 40th birthdays this summer.

Long Flight Club

I am 15 mins from DL, but when going to WDW, I prefer the 4pm Delta departure out of LAX. It allows me to travel on day 0 (and work almost a full day) and then get up and going bright and early the next morning. The only downside is you have very limited food options that late. I often rent a car and stop at Waffle Hou

DVC Ownership Approach

I love hearing everyone's stories! I am thinking I want to end up at ~400 points for a mix of studio long weekends and 1 bedroom trips, but we like the point heavy resorts, so....we'll see. Probably eventually more than that!
