The potential issue with keeping the same panel week after week is that over time everyone already knows what the regulars think about various topics and it turns into a rehash of opinions. In many ways, it's kind of like that already and I suspect most of the regular consumers of the podcast...

We liked the room. The 1-BR at Riviera is probably my favorite 1-BR of all the resorts due to its size and furnishings, all very nice. We had no issues with noise from Toplinos and quite frankly didn't even know it was so close until we took the elevator up for dinner half way through our...

There have been a number of good suggestions so far and it's obvious many people care about the unplugged show. If I may add my $.02... These boards themselves are a great source of information regarding almost all facets of Disney (and non-Disney) topics. On each of the various boards, there...

As a longtime frequenter of the DVC boards, I agree that CarolMN, Chuck S, and more recently Sandisw have always been a highly informative and top notch team!

Though my preference would be for everyone to be able to have their own table, if it's obscenely crowded it wouldn't really bother us to share a table with another group.

With more than 20 years of stays at BRV and then CCV, I can't recall a single instance of being disturbed by noise. Can we hear other guests? We certainly can but never to the point of being disruptive, Of course, some folks are more sensitive to noise than others and one needs to take that...

I'm sure one could have purchased another bread serving if needed. Expecting unlimited bread would probably be a bit extreme. Plus, given the prices one pays at Disney Restaurants, who would want to fill up on bread anyway?

I really didn't have an opinion one way or another but after staying there I now think Riviera has the best rooms on property. I didn't end up buying points there, but I would definitely look forward to staying again in the future.

"I don't want to do business with DVD but I expect them to offer me the same perks and benefits they offer their other customers." Just because!

The day DVD sells out their very last resort, we will all be in the same boat. So we can content ourselves with that eventually I suppose.

I suppose if all one wants to do is go to a theme park, then any of them would be an acceptable alternative. I like Universal and Busch Gardens and Sea World and all the rest but they never touched a chord with me the way DisneyLand, and later DisneyWorld did. Having visited Disney more than 100...

If you're a brisk walker you can probably walk to the HH from just about anywhere in 15 minutes. A more leisurely stroll from the farthest areas of South Point or Turtle Pond might be closer to 20 minutes. You can always ask Bell Services to transport you and your luggage if the weather is bad...

Though unthinkable to those of us who track Disney minutiae with obsessive compulsion, I suspect the vast majority of Disney guests don't even know there's a theme to the fireworks presentations. It's just fireworks, nothing more complicated than that.

I liked Illuminations. HarmonIous seems fine too.

The Galactic Starcruiser isn't designed to be a "hotel" experience for the mass market. It would make zero sense for guests to book the star cruiser and then shuffle off to to MK for the day. It's a boutique experience for a very small subset of WDW visitors looking for something different...

A few years back, a direct purchase of 25 points would qualify for member benefits. I imagine quite a few 25 point contracts are floating around in the DVC stratosphere. Of course, there is such a thing as too small of a contract and if I wasn't adding on to points I already owned at a resort...

Sure, I'd buy. When DVC direct prices initially broke the $100 / point barrier many posters here thought that was a deal breaker (at the time). Today, that's a bargain on the resale market. I imagine in another 5-10 years, resale buyers will be paying close to or over $200/point for some...

I would be interested in reading your impressions of the tower studio when you return. We have thought about booking one of those as well. Have a great trip!

I suspect if you had a dime for every question you have answered repeatedly over the years you would be quite wealthy today, LOL! The boards would die pretty quickly if only new and original thread topics were allowed.

A system that allows members to block rooms and dates they have no intention of using from other members who want to use them is not equitable and is not fair. The large point owner argument is not all that valuable since it's extremely unlikely that these points are all at one resort. A...
