    Hilton Head renovations

    Has anyone played golf while staying at the Disney Resort at Hilton Head? Are there any discounts available to DVC members? Any recommendations for good courses close by? We are going to try to play a few times in the week we are going to be there.

    Hilton Head renovations

    Anyone have any Hilton Head restaurant recommendations? Our group likes pretty much all kinds of food and would like to try a variety of local places when we are there. Are there places close enough to the resort to walk to, or do you need to drive to pretty much everything?

    Hilton Head renovations

    Thanks for the photos. We have never been before and I had heard the interiors used to be pretty dark and that the furniture was showing a lot of wear, but it looks like they really improved that with the renovations. Looking forward to our trip

    Hilton Head renovations

    Does anyone have recent photos of the renovated rooms at Hilton Head. We are staying in one of the three bedroom villas in a few months and was wondering what the rooms looked like since the renovations.

    DVC is worth it and here's why...

    Purchasing DVC will always be a personal choice depending on that persons financial situation at the point when they are considering the purchase. If your not sure you can really afford it, and that you probably need to finance the purchase, then you should probably not make the purchase. If you...

    DVC is worth it and here's why...

    We tend to go to WDW every other year so we bank and borrow points so that we can get the accommodations we want for the length of stay we want. We have probably gotten a little spoiled since we bought our DVC and now enjoy staying at the deluxe DVC resorts and don't think we would enjoy the...

    Help with one (or two) last ADR!

    I had always heard good things about Wolfgang's at DTD but we tried it about a month ago and it was awful. Not just not as good as we hoped but really awful!!!! Food and service were terrible. We did have good luck at Paradiso 37 in DTD, food was great, service was excellent and they have a...

    Best eating at Disney World

    For DTD you could try the House of Blues, which is really good food and a fun atmosphere but you should check on getting a reservation as it can be pretty crowded. We also recently ate at Paradiso 37 and we thought it was excellent. The price was reasonable(for Disney) and the food was very...

    SSR Advice Please!

    We chose SSR as our home resort because it's per point cost was less expensive than the other resorts when we bought our contract. I still think that was a good idea as we have never really had an issue booking the resort we wanted at the 7 month window. The only real advantage of your home...

    SSR Advice Please!

    I agree with the previous comment, SSR is in between for us. We just stayed there for a week and had an enjoyable time. Do we like it as much as our favorite resort, Boardwalk?, No, we don't but it is still a nice resort with a lot of nice amenities and multiple pools. We also found the food at...

    Downtown Disney update

    It is clear that DTD could be improved in some ways but even in it's current state it seems to be doing very well. I was there last week and went to DTD on a few different nights and the place was packed with people. While it is far from perfect, they are doing something right to be as busy as...

    DVC without the parks.

    We are going down in June for a week and don't plan on going to the parks at all. There is a group of 7 of us staying at SSR and some of us will play golf and others plan to use the spa and relax by the pool. We may decide to go to a water park for one day, but other than that we won't go into...

    26 years and Never been to LeCellier...CONVINCE ME

    Been to LeCellier a few times. The soup and pretzel bread is great, the atmosphere is nice although the the dining room is kind of small. The steak is good, but I would not call it great. I am from the Boston area also and it does not compare with the high end steak places we have up here even...

    Tables in Wonderland

    That is good news that they are already letting members use the program, but wouldn't you think they would make some type of formal announcement. I think this is a great added perk for members and if they promote it, I think you will find many DVC members taking advantage of this benefit.
