So we've already taken 2 trips since we became DVC owners 18 months ago, and now have 5 trips lined up in the next 16 months...
("Hello, I am Kboo and I'm an addict...)
Some stays are at the Swan, some in studios, and some larger units. With this frequency of trips and 2 small kids, I am thinking that we may benefit from using an OL even though we have free checked bags with our airline of choice.
Some things I am thinking of:
ponchos
sweathshirts and other adult casual clothes (enough for 3 days, and then we could do laundry)
laundry detergent
toiletries
Disney stuff like ears, pins, etc.
...
The idea would be that at least the adults would bring minimal stuff on our flights, and then we could use small rollaboards for the kids' clothes and not have to check any luggage.
Although we initially bought DVC thinking we would go once a year, I think when the honeymoon period is over we will probably take 2 trips a year, 6-9 months apart.
What are your thoughts, and whether the moderate or premium plan makes the most sense?
(also, what would you pack if for studio stays? We plan on mostly being in 1BR and larger, but will have some hotel and studio stays as well)
Thanks!
DVC for 25 years - just signed up for OL. My list also includes pool shoes - and scissors, OTC drugs - sure, I can get to Walmart but it's nice to have at least a dose or two in the room for whatever - alcohol - we buy it every trip but do not drink it all. Tweezers, file, pop-up hamper, hand cream, good crushed pepper, olive oil - just stuff we buy but don't use or have to carry every single time. I plan to store unused shampoo and conditioner, etc...
One of the fees was waived for DVC owners.
