We're staying with friends at Shades of Green and need a CHEAP extra hotel room for one night. Our flight leaves early in the morning, so an airport shuttle is the preferred option. We just want to keep the cost down, so as long as the place is clean we don't need anything fancy. Everything...

Usually the next year’s offers aren’t released until the August bounceback

My family is considering AP passes and I'm wondering whether the DisBoards clan thinks considering bounce back offers should weigh into the decision... We have a trip booked for the beginning of August and would like to go again next July. The price of APs has gone up considerably since we had...

Remember that any call is to the phone center and not directly to CSR front desk. Most of the time, their information is inaccurate.

To me, the park ticket price is what has ballooned. We’ve paid $175-215/night for a moderate for the last few years. Meanwhile, In 2017, we paid for APs for less than $800/pp. Since then, they’ve had price increases of $50, $70, $125! APs for about $3100/family of four vs $4800 now. Yikes!

Everyone has different things that are important to them. We are a family of four and stay at Coronado. The bathrooms have doors, the beds are AMAZING, the dining options are plentiful, and the theming is great (and I can’t wait to check out the details in the new tower). It’s a “deluxe-lite”...

I would really love to try a deluxe resort, but I just can’t stomach the price. I don’t see the value in $200+ more per night for indoor hallways and walk ability. We’ve considered a split stay next trip, but I don’t know that it’s worth it. Two years ago, we become (midwestern) AP holders...

Lots of great ones, but two that we book every trip are Tusker House and Via Napoli.

Sort of... The kids wear themed clothing depending on which park we are in and DD dresses up for character meals. At 1900 PF, specifically, DD will wear a princess gown and DS will wear a dressy polo shirt (I usually buy him one with a diagonal stripe that looks a little like a prince sash).

Definitely! It’s just not the fun or enjoyable choice.

@NewbieMom - what a bummer! I think my DVC dreams are on hold, sadly. We had to get a new roof and it ate up the buy in money. Sigh, adulting sucks.

Stayed two weeks ago..PM is open

SSR has models for CC, Poly, and Aulani; plus, if you have kids 12 and under they will babysit them at the kids club.

Hi Jerry, I’m just curious how long it has taken people from beginning to look to purchase. I’m interested in Boardwalk (100-150 points). Most of the available contracts seem to be 200+ points. DH wants to save money and go for less, but I see the value in having more. We travel in...

I’m new to DVC resale and wondering how long it has taken people to find their “ideal” resale contract. (I know this probably varies greatly). I’ve been stalking the six recommended resale sites since we returned from our recent trip!

I don’t feel like I received bad information, but I do feel like our guide was doing all kinds of funny math to justify the cost. I also think he downplayed the importance of home resort.

We took a tour last week. We were offered $50 (+ FPs) and then the kiosk guy said it was $100 if we “pre-booked for the following day.”

We took a DVC tour on Saturday and Copper Creek, Saratoga, OKW, and Poly were the WDW properties available direct. We’re going to do more research and consider Boardwalk resale.

Last year we had an amazing housekeeper who left towel animals almost every day of our stay (also CSR). That was the very first time we’d experienced it in multiple trips.

My Alamo rate just dropped another $20 for the end of June. I currently have two bookings (one for an SUV and one for free upgrade full size)...I'm hoping the SUV keeps dropping. Coupon: AU2291VYT (free upgrade) Contract ID: 7016220 (Orlando MagicCard)
