Free DVC Membership Ownership Dashboard

Very nice - thank you for sharing! As a newer DVC member, we have a 'loaded' contract with points banked into the 2026 year when we purchased (from 2025). Is there a way in the reservations list to indicate we're using those loaded (2025) points? Right now it shows we're overdrawn on our contract. Grateful and thanks.

🌟 Disney Meet-Up Interest 🌟

I feel you - I'm a teacher and 'perform' extrovert for my classrooms (then drive home in silence to recoup). My family isn't as Disney-obsessed as me so the forums have been very nice. As an almost empty-nester, I'm struggling with the 'fix it Felix' method of parenting (college apps, ugh). I waffle between over-helpin

Grocery Delivery

We used Walmart in March (2026) and it worked well. I received a text msg when they were in lobby and we met them to grab the stuff. FYI- there's a 30day free trial of Walmart + that includes free delivery!

Best transportation options from MCO to WDW?

We have always been ride share folks (Uber/Lyft), but our next trip we are traveling as a family of 7 (with a toddler). It's got me rethinking the Mears option. It would be nice to NOT take the car seat (bus) with all the other stuff we're bringing. That said, we've never looked into the larger fancier ride share optio

Freaks in the (Spread)Sheets

Brilliant! I'm not excel proficient, but I am a data nerd (I know, sounds incompatible; we're like the rare white rhino ;) Does anyone know (or already have) a spreadsheet that allows you to play around with projected point needs for trips? We have a big family trip (think 3BD/2BD and split stays), and we're thinking a

DVC Ownership Approach

Laura - your story (and everyone's replies) are the reason I think Disney Adults will change the world and make it better. My heart aches with you with the happy and the sad. We just bought our first DVC contract (Feb. 2026 @ BLT resale) with the gift my mom left us when she passed away last year. She was a delight, st

Disney World history

I'm as old as the WDW parks! I have pictures (the old, square kind) of MK the first year it opened. Some of the characters were rather frightening. Don't remember much from those trips, but I do remember the skyway.

DVC Empty Nesters

We become empty nesters this fall. Still grappling with the end to 30 years of the hands-on parenting role. Bonus (happy spot): a wise friend told me that you shouldn't go home after dropping your last kiddo off at school, so you can guess what we did: Our first DVC stay as new owners! Flying the evening after the DS c

Bay Lake Tower Owners Thread

Hello all, We are new to DVC: just purchased our first contract at BLT in Feb. 2025! I'm old enough to remember when MK opened it's doors at WDW (ahem...I was an INFANT, of course ;) and the Contemporary/BLT is all nostalgia for me. I'm giddy every time we walk to the MK. Excited for this forum.
