    Made the move to Florida - How will DVC change?

    We lived in the Tampa Bay area for a long time and recently relocated about 45 minutes north of WDW. As others have stated the drive from Tampa to Orlando in I-4 is brutal - our worst was a 5 hour trip with 3 of those hours moving just a few feet at a time. Our DVC visits are 3-5 nights and...

    Special Member Fireworks Viewing Area at Very Merriest After Hours

    We did this last evening. We arrived about 20 minutes before the start of the show. There was plenty of room to spread out. By show time it was more crowded toward the front of the area but there was still a lot of available space toward the rear closer to Tomorrowland Terrace. The lone cast...

    Real Estate market reply from recent Sep 8 podcast

    It’s not just Disney. In central Florida it’s also the multitude of businesses that sell to or support Disney’s operations. Those businesses are also trimming staff and some, unfortunately, will not survive the downturn. It’s too early to tell how real estate prices will be impacted. Florida’s...

    Real Estate market reply from recent Sep 8 podcast

    I don’t think that I wrote that today’s situation is the same as 2008. I used “akin” or related but not the same. We currently have record low interest rates which was not the case in 2008. Yes, lending requirements have tightened since then but now people can buy a more expensive home because...
