    Buyers Remorse...need advice please.

    Having never made a DVC ressie with more than 3 months notice and always finding a room, tho most of the time at SSR (not my fave location in the World), I wouldn't let it stress you out. Ideally, in a perfect world, we would all be able to buy into our fave resort and book every vacation...

    Please explain

    As a military member, I would like to point out that SOG does not always have availability, and the overflow rates are not always fabulous, so it does depend upon how often you would be going to WDW as well as when in the year.

    Wow December is busy for DVC! Waitlists, waitlists, waitlists.

    Tell me about it! I had to wait till very recently to book us the week before Christmas (20-23 Oct) and EVERYTHING seems gone! We managed to snag an SSR 1-BR for our 3 nights, but that was literally the last choice. We're WLed for a Studio Std View at BLT and BWV, but I'm not sure if I...

    Curious. What is your home resort, how many points, and why....

    Thank you for your support! It means so much to those of us in the military when people come up and say thank you! It's a great reminder of why we stay in the military!

    Curious. What is your home resort, how many points, and why....

    Home Resort: BWV Points: 45 Why?: Well, we were married in Disney at the Yacht Club and the Epcot resorts are our fave location to stay, so when I was looking into resales, this is the contract that we could afford to buy outright. Also, my hubby and I are both military, so we never...

    Waitlist Questions - help please

    I don't know if the website would update, tho I would assume so, but I was told by Member Services earlier this week that I would receive a new letter if there was a change to my ressie. And as previously posted, the category of room is part of the waitlist; eg: we are waitlisted to a...

    Anyone else havinbg trouble retrieving online dining ressies?

    I was confused and thought they would retain all my ressies online in my account, but nope, and of course I didn't write anything down. Can I call the DINE number and get the ones I can't remember the exact time using my phone number provided?

    Parents Gifts

    We got engraved glass frames from Arribas Broes, with the Mickey and Minnie Bride and Groom, and put our favorite photo from our MK session in them. For the BMs, I purchased pearl earrings and pendants and for the GM, my hubby got "Soju Bells" from Korea (where he was stationed at the time).

    Has anyone walked down the aisle by themselves?

    My father is alive and both my parents and step-parents attended, but I was 30 when we were married and it was my second marriage, so I didn't feel like I was being "given away." We were married at the YC Gazebo and about halfway down the aisle, my hubby met me and we walked the rest of the...

    List of Items for your Disney Wedding???

    I am a complete worrier and stress constantly that I will forget something (and this is every day life I am talking about!) LOL! In the weeks before the wedding, I started a list in my planning binder/notebook; everytime I thought of something I would want to take, I would just add it to...

    Other officiant questions

    We had Rev. Jack Day. We didn't tip, as he owns his own business, thus his fees are his 'take.' We did send him and invitation for he and his wife to join us for the reception, which he graciously declined. He said that he wouldn't have any time if he accepted every reception invite! He was...

    Am I being selfish??

    I don't think you are being selfish at all. You need to do what makes you and your hubby happy! That said, if you want them there and you could afford it, perhaps you could by tickets for your parents, so they could attend? Just an idea. In the end, it still wouldn't cost as much as a...

    Wedding Escape Package/Vow Renewal

    All APs are park-hoppers. There is no add-on cost for that. The Add-on costs are if you want to add in the water parks and other features (aka: Premium Annual Pass).

    Disney don't allow confetti?

    In 2004, we asked if we could have confetti wands and were told no. In the end, we just skipped the throwing things part, since we couldn't really afford petals.

    Officiant Questions

    Rev. Jack is the best! He is just too sweet! He did a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. We wanted a ceremony that followed the traditional layout of a Catholic ceremony and he helped us tailor it to fit our needs and desires. He is also very happy and willing to perform...

    They messed up our maps :(

    On Disney's website, you can order custom maps of the parks. They are very pretty and will include your family name. Do note that they use whatever last name your Disney page login is registered to.
