    Change to July 17 Cruise from Barcelona to Southampton

    What makes Sicily your favorite port stop? Any excursions you would recommend? I'm rather disappointed by the port change. Was excited to see Nice and be within a Stone's throw to Monaco and all the rich yachts parked there.

    Poll: Has the 2042 Bubble Burst?

    I don't think Disney will have problems selling DVC rooms as hotel rooms, especially within walking distance to EPCOT. Keep in mind DVC are hotel rooms. They represent a demand for hotel rooms. Even without DVC, people will want to stay at those resorts. DVC owners just happen to stay in the...

    Poll: Has the 2042 Bubble Burst?

    The "trust" or "portfolio program" may be "convenient" but I don't think it would function as a timeshare at that point. Timeshares generally have a real estate component to i. A "Trust" or "portfolio program" would have no real estate component to it. My guess is that Disney will take over...

    New dvc gift - no more sliders

    Really strange that they would include the dog house for HHI as they ran out Blue and Shadow, and apparently have tried to erase their existence at HHI.

    Shared Contract?

    As others have mentioned there are so many things that could go wrong that goes beyond "traveling together" for 25 years. *Spouses divorce and are required to sell - what happens? *One family goes bankrupt and their assets are seized - what happens? *One family wants to sell, but the other...

    OK I might officially be crazy…could I be?

    VGC is only overpriced if you think the rack rate of VGC is overpriced. I compared the rack rate of Disneyland Hotel to the cost per night using the point chart for VDL and the rack rate of Grand Californian to the cost per night using the point chart for VGC and VGC comes out way ahead, even...

    Summer Incentives

    Will you need 200 pts each year? If so, then purchase 200 pts all at once (even if you break it up to 2 x 100 pt or 150 and 50 pt), you’ll get better incentives that way. If on the other hand you will go every other year, then I’d suggest buying 150 pts now. You’ll get the 150 for 2022, which...

    Creative Ways to Finance DVC

    I would actually reverse that. I would pay the down payment first (10% minimum). Then split the rest out over 3 months with the largest and final payment being on the Disney Visa. In that way, you actually get 9 months to pay it off (3 months of spreading out payment and 6 months for the...

    Wish delayed with mechanical problems

    My guess is because the Wish is doing 3/4 night cruises, the 20% discount on some longer cruises might very well be close to the cost of the Wish cruise.

    Don’t lose hope on castaway cay postcards

    That's amazing. It's just amazing to think that when you mailed it, it was pre-pandemic and the world has changed so much since then.

    St. John Trunk Bay Beach Getaway

    As noted from other posters, there are bathroom facilities and also outdoor showers to wash off the sand.

    Online Check In

    Even if it's midnight EDT, if it's not midnight on your computer, it may not let you check in online. You may have to change your time zone so it appears that you're in a location where it's past midnight for the check in link to appear.

    St. John Trunk Bay Beach Getaway

    It wasn't hard to book, but I think it did eventually get sold out. However, our cruise was at max capacity. It was a lot of fun. This is the same as a variety of St. John Trunk Bay "excursions." The snorkeling one just provides the snorkels (so if you bring your own, you don't need to do...

    Anyone able to sneak a peak at BCV’s?

    Warning: Laundry Room on 4th floor is closed due to the refurbishment. Instead they supposedly made one of the laundry rooms free. It’s the one that’s indoors with only 2 washers and not the one at the pool. Unfortunately, I went to the one at the pool. I got an unrefurbished studio on the...

    You wish you could report people renting rooms 10 months out?

    Does it really break the system? If a time period is popular, the easy way to make it less popular is for DVC to raise the point totals. This benefits people who travel in other period of times as the people want the "popular" times will subsidize the less popular times. Repeat as needed when...

    Alaska Dog Sledding excursion

    You'll have lots of fun. However, I would set your expectations just a little bit on two things: 1.) The trip will be more focused on dog sledding than on glacier walking. You don't want to drink anywhere near where the dogs are for obvious reasons. If you want to walk around the glacier and...

    Food prices at Aulani INSANE

    Nope, no upcoming trips. We were just there earlier this year before the cruise from Hawaii to Vancouver. It was our first time at Aulani, but third time to Hawaii. Can’t wait to get back though!
