    So how spoiled are you.

    DW and I have spoiled ourselves I suppose. If we are going for a week with our DD we would rather have a 2br. A 1br would work but DD doesn't like the sofa bed. However we are not opposed to getting a studio for a weekend if it means we get to go to Disney again..

    How far ahead are you on your bills?

    I might pay extra towards principle on our mortgage but no, I'm not sending extra to water, electric, cable etc. I like keeping money with me for as long as possible. However, you do what you feel is best for you.

    First stay in VGF

    We stayed 4 nights in a 2br lake view last November. Checked in on my birthday. What a treat. We LOVED it! Enjoy your stay.

    We always bring some pods with us. It's seems to be the most convenient solution.

    Biergarten seating

    We never minded the communal tables. We met some really nice people and had some nice conversations getting to know them.

    Reservations for 11 how-to

    If you break your party into 2 groups, are you prepared to not sit together? Not sure how you can guarantee being near each other. I have made reservations for a large group and did so by calling the restaurant directly. It worked out just fine and we were all seated together.

    What’s your favorite Resort features???

    I agree. Try something new. GFV would be a great choice. We had a 2br there in November and loved it! It was a lot of points but we had some to burn so we decided to splurge. We were not disappointed. Will stay there again if we can save enough points.

    Availability while under Contract

    As I recall, we weren't able to set up our DVC account until after we closed and received our membership cards and membership number. So you will not be able to check availability until such time

    Am I Making a Foolish Purchase?

    Personally I wouldn't put $43,000 into something i was only going to use every 5 years. Additionally, you'll need to use at least 2 UY's worth of points to get a decent room at Riviera, so you'll be using them yourself and not renting them. This will add years to your payoff strategy.

    What to do with left-over points?

    Free Room Upgrades?

    We were scheduled for a studio at BWV last Labor Day weekend. When we arrived I suggested to my wife that we see about moving to a 1BR. We had plenty of points and using the extra for a 1BR would not be a problem. So I dropped her and DD off to check in while I parked the car. DW asked the CM...

    Large group-two reservations...help!

    By splitting your party into two, be aware that you may not be seated anywhere near each other. If not sitting together is an option you are willing to accept then all is well. However, if you'd all like to sit together, try calling the restaurant directly to make reservations for large...
