@Hubie thanks for the intel on SSR. We've never stayed there before, and I always assumed it was set up like OKW. Good to know that the refurb makes things awesome there, and it's good to know that the main lobby is more centrally located. @heynowirv I can see where OKW would be great with a...

@Sandisw Thank you! I never thought of asking the sellers to bank before ROFR. That's great! But, if I'm reading @cdirazonian correctly, I've got more time than I thought? @cdirazonian Yes, you got it right. And, thank you for clarifying for me. I was thinking banked 2023 point had to be...

Hi Disfriends! I have another DVC resale purchase question. DH and I have decided that BC is where we would like to purchase a resale contract. We own direct at GF, and we really want to be able to walk to HS and EP. It makes more sense for use to buy resale this time around, as we have...

Everyone, thank you so much for your info and for answering so many questions!! I'm so grateful! Let me know what else I might not be considering! And @LilyJC, thank you for the specific intel on BC. This was exactly what I was looking to find out. DH and I have decided BC is the resort we...

@Sandisw thank you. This is good intel!

So grateful for this post and the info from knowledgeable DVC folks. We own direct at GF (Feb UY) and we are doing research before buying a resale contract at BW/BC. The info about possibly different use years is awesome. Thank you!

OP here. You all have given me such good insight and advice. Thank you SO much!!! I have much better understanding of the ins and outs of the same vs different use years now. Gah! So much to process here, but the info you all have shared has been great. Keep the info coming!!! This is why...

Thank you @Tatebeck and @NY Pirate Princess, your info is really helpful. Good to know that I'm on the right track in terms of buying resale for our second home resort. We already have all the direct perks, and the prices are more reasonable on the resale market for BC and BW. Thanks also for...

Thanks @Sandisw, I appreciate the info! Thank you! And, @AstroBlasters, can you elaborate on why keeping UY the same will make things easier? I'm so sorry...I'm just a little ignorant. :goodvibes I'm not understanding why matching UY is helpful? Thanks so much!

Hi Disfriends! DH and I purchased direct at GF in the spring of 2022; we purchased two contracts with a February use year. We are thrilled with our purchases and love GF. However, like many DVC folks, we are now suffering from "addonitis". :P We love being able to walk from GF directly to...

Hi Disfriends, DH and I own at GF, but I was able to snag a one bedroom at BWV for the end of October-beginning of November recently. We are really excited to stay here; it will be our first time at this resort. We love the idea of being able to walk to both HS and EP, and we have toyed with...

OP here! I did the two week cruise on the Wonder from Sydney, Australia to Honolulu, Hawaii from mid February through the beginning of March and it was phenomenal! Our stops included New Caledonia, Fiji, American Samoa, and Maui and all of them were amazing! We had great weather, with only...

@Simba's Mom I totally didn't remember where we stayed ten years ago, so I had to go back and look in my old Disney records. We were in room 3232 in May of 2014...same Turtle Pond area. Our view in 2014 was way better; we had a balcony over looking the golf course. This time, we overlooked...

Hi Disfriends! I've just returned from OKW with DH and DS 22 and DS 19. We flew in from the midwest last Sunday 3/10 and stayed until Friday 3/15. Yesterday I walked off my Disney "hangover" and today I'm ready to share a quick trip review before I start forgetting stuff. We stayed at OKW...

Hi Disfriends! What a day yesterday…so incredibly stressful. However, I cannot thank the folks on here enough. I love the Disboards, because everyone is so incredibly supportive and helpful. Extra special thanks go to @Supparo and @Disneyhanna and all the folks who were so wonderfully...

Hi Disfriends! I’m in the same boat as so many of you…multiple tabs open and over an hour wait for all of them. Ironically, I’m AT WDW right now. My family left to go to Epcot without me. Eeek! :P If anyone has a queue link they could share, I would be ever so grateful!

@wdwnut Oh wow! So, there is a chance of having a combo coffeemaker with the Keurig in it? Good to know! I'll put some SBUX pods back in the "to pack" pile today. Thank you for this intel!

Thank you all for the intel. I won't waste space in my carry on with SBUX pods. DH is just going to have to suck it up and either drink the pot of coffee Disney gives us in the villa, or wait to order SBUX in the parks. :P

Hi Disfriends! It's been ten years since we have stayed at OKW. We are headed back for a quick family spring break trip starting this Sunday. I'm wondering what the coffee situation in the two bedroom villas are currently? I'm thinking we had a drip coffee maker in 2014, but I'm wondering if...

@SL6827 I just did the EXACT same thing! :-)
