    Is there a thread on transportation options to and from Universal?

    I am so used to Disney and I am lost trying to plan a Universal trip. I see car rentals for the time I am looking are around $500 for the entire stay. So I am thinking of trying to get a rental for a day or two at arrival and then to get back to Orlando airport. I can't even find a code for a...

    ROFR Thread July to Sept 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

    We passed ROFR 5/27 and Mason sent us the final documents 6/14. We had the money in our account within days of sending it back. I never expected it so fast.

    ROFR Thread July to Sept 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

    Just had a contract bought back by Disney. I thought it was a quicker process when they by back but apparently it can be longer. In our case, it is much longer than another contract we just sold that passed ROFR.

    ROFR Thread April to June 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

    Quick question to recent sellers. How long does a sold contract show in your DVC account? A contract we sold closed and we received the money last week. I am still seeing the vacation points in my account. We sold a couple of contracts years ago and I don't remember that happening.

    All about the Autotrain

    Just adding from my experience. We stayed in a roomette. It took over 2 hours to get our car once we finally arrived. Our train was delayed several hours. We paid to get priority loading on our return. (Haven't done it yet) Also, we found the food inedible. Luckily we had packed a cooler.

    I am currently selling one of my contracts. Just thought I would provide info. that it was sent to ROFR and waived by Disney in 19 days. Seemed fast to me.

    Disney Vacation Club Pros and Cons

    I skimmed through this thread and didn't see a mention of point charts, if so, I apologize if this is redundant. Do not assume because you see a value AK studio or standard BWV 2 bedroom... that you will be able to book it, especially during busy times even if you try right at the 11 month...

    Breaking up with Disney?

    I seriously do not believe capacity is limited now. It is too bad they won't ever make the numbers public.

    Breaking up with Disney?

    Just adding my 2 cents on the Covid effect: For us, it has zero to do with it. We have been to Disney World several times, for several weeks, since Covid, starting right after the reopening. Personally I think it was actually better right when they reopened because there was a definite lack of...

    Breaking up with Disney?

    Completely relate. We have spent a lot of time in Disney lately and I do not think we will ever step in the parks again. (APs just expired) It went from not being fun anymore with all the ridiculous changes to anger over everything going on now. We bought in because it was a place we found...

    Kidani or Jambo??

    Jambo has flamingos near the pool and they also have Pelicans at Arusha. There are big beautiful rocking chairs around out back which never seems to congested. The viewing area at Kidani is nicer because the fencing is lower than the fencing at Jambo

    2023 chart

    A 1 bedroom standard view at BWV used to be 154 for a week at the beginning of December. 2023 it will be 180. That's a significant change.

    ***The Official AKV Owners And Lovers Thread***. Come And Chat

    We just came back and had a value room overlooking the pool. The pool was much more crowded last week then it seemed this week. Last week people were all over the outside waiting to get in an hour before it opened. Not so many there ahead this week.

    Mears Connect Experience

    We stayed at Jambo. Sunshine Flyer picked up one other family at All Star and straight to the airport. I didn't like the cloth backed seats on ME so this was nicer.

    Mears Connect Experience

    Just took Sunshine Flyer yesterday. I am uploading photos now. The outside is decorated to look like a train but it looks just like the Mears buses on the inside. I will upload a couple of pictures of the inside a bit.

    Mears Connect Experience

    I am speaking about domestic flights. We have traveled to Disney dozens of times in the past 15 years. We never received a 4 hour pick up window for a domestic flight. Always 3 hours as was stated on the website and in travel information. We have traveled all days of the week and at different...
