Stripped points use year question

As long as the points have posted to your 2027 points, you can borrow from the 2027 bucket to use in Jan 27 (as a 2026 borrowing). I always get confused with the December use year for this reason. That’s why I’m glad we have February use years on all our contracts. For a December use year : Your points run from Decembe

When to purchase tickets

The thing to remember is that if you hear of a deal, you can call and see if it can be applied to your tickets, if you bought from Disney. I'm not familiar with other discount ticket purchases and how Disney promotions would apply.

When to purchase tickets

IMHO the sooner you buy the better. I cannot imagine they get cheaper over time. Also, there is usually an October price increase then a January one. Get them while you are sure of your dates.

The Grand Floridian gingerbread house will not return this holiday season. Instead, Disney's culinary teams will create new miniature holiday displays for the resort.

Club Level

Way back when before we bought DVC, we used to go to the Royal Palm Club at the Grand Floridian for a week at a time. All cash stays, then i did the research, and the math and we bought VGF. After two years we had made back what we were at the break even point. Now, for a treat, I’ll book a two day add on at the end of

Long Flight Club

Not necessarily a long flight, but I don’t fly since I use a power wheelchair. Coming down from northern CT, we drive 6 1/2 hours to VA, then take the Auto Train, which is an overnight train, with our van. It leaves at 4 pm and arrives in Sanford at 9 am. We’re in the bubble by 11 am with the unloading of cars and the

Unpopular DVC Opinions

My unpopular opinion is the Perch bar in the GF lobby is not necessary and cheapens the whole aesthetic of the lobby. Someone cannot go up to the second floor for the Enchanted Rose? I preferred the seasonal huts built (Gingerbread House, Bunny Hutch or whatdver it was called) which have disappeared with the opening of
