Resort bathroom body wash H20 products
Update, its good but no closer than daily zen. So thats my recommendation. Actually mixing the two gets even closer but Daily Zen alone is good too.
Resort bathroom body wash H20 products
I've gone down this rabbit hole myself :) After recommendations I bought Method's Daily Zen and it's very close, I would say 80% of the way there and 'acceptable'. I just looked again and they have a new (I believe) smell called sea and salt that I just bought one to try to see if it's any closer. I'll report back when
Annual Passes or No?
This isn't true, only actual Florida Residents can get the Pixie Dust and Pirate passes.. DVC unlocks the Sorcerer pass for non Florida Residents but not the others. For the Florida Resident passes, you actually need an ID with a Florida address or a utility bill.. DVC property doesn't count.
Old Key West Owners Thread
We'll also be there during the 4th of July weekend! Booked it long ago as I knew this was going to be a huge weekend given the 250th celebration. My favorite part is the laid back feel of the entire resort and honestly the buses aren't too bad. My least favorite is parking and lack of elevators :(
Already for 2042
2042 is a long time away and There's been a "new" resort every 2 years... if this keeps up, there will be another 10 resorts before these expire... On top of some of the 2042's getting put back into the system after a refresh (BWV/BCV) imo.
Split Stays?
These are exactly my criteria.. Any check in "day" is a waste of points IMO because who knows when the room will be ready. For this reason we do not stay just a single night, ever, becaues you never get a chance to enjoy the resort, imo.
I’m Planning Our First Direct Purchase — Follow Along
This 100%. The only real reason to choose direct over resale, in my opinion, is restricted resort availability. This is huge for me and why I ended up going with direct... that and OKW direct points were on sale for ~160pp 2 years ago when we bought our first contract(s). We bought a 150-point contract, quickly realize
DVC & Annual Pass Previews Announced for Rock N Rollercoaster & Soarin Across America
Hopefuly Soarin.. too hold for roller coasters :D
DVCFan Community DVC Point Stats!
450 points across three direct contracts. We usually stay OKW 1 Bedroom because they go way farther than most. We have a 10 day stay (OKW 1 BR) in July and it's only 276 points which means we can stay about 16 days a year or so if we stretch studios for the remainder. We will almost certaily be getting more points in t
Recommendations for DLR newbie / WDW vet
We were in your shoes last year as WDW APs, here's our breakdown. Outside of the iconic rides, we priorizted only those that existed at DLR so most duplicates we didn't ride at either park. Haunted Mantion: Better/longer at WDW but more iconic at a DLR. Pirate: Hands down better at DLR, way longer, better to ride at ni
When do we think Riviera will sell out?
By June of 2027... and it might not sell out, just fade into the back, especially when LSL is announced, put on sale. If you want Riviera at any sort of discount, the next few quarters will probably be the best you'll get. They might even have an end of FY (which ends September 27th) push this year to get the rest "sol
Honoring waterpark entry the day after check in?
Probably not as it’s automatically added to your tickets in My Disney Experience based on your check in day(s). That being said, it would better to call Disney to findout, perhaps they havesome flexibility on this but I wouldn’t count on it.
Timeline on getting points?
Don't have experience with resale, but direct points are added same day you agree to buy even before you sign the official documents.
Using DVC points as part of a snow-birding plan?
About how many points did you end up calculate and for how many months if you don't mind me asking?
New availabity inside 4 months
If you aren’t too picky (and ok with OKW/SSR/AKV) and/or dont mind split stays, you can generally find availability fairly last minute most of the time.
Riviera Owners Thread
If money was no object, this would be the most optimal…. If you can get over the fact most of the Epcot resorts are 2042 properties. :(
I’m Planning Our First Direct Purchase — Follow Along
The 1 year is for fianancing without a credit check, and it's 1 year of dues without being late to qualify. We bought direct during an Old Key West sale a couple of years ago. We first bought 150 points and then quickly realized it was a REALLY good sale (160pp direct with magical beginnings) and bought another 150 poi
Are you worried about DVC new rules for Renting?
Is the 20 per year documented somewhere? Is there also a percentage of owned points being rented out, ie if you continually rent out over 50% of your points a thing?
