The way to do it is buy SSR, OKW or Animal Kingdom on the resale market. They cost significantly less that way, and they are each great resorts in their own right. Then, plan your trips in advance. BOOK your desired times at your home resort in the 7 to 11 month window. You might split it...

SMALL means no economies of scale or volume discounts and savings, which means increased costs per guest. Second, how do you plan to get to Castaway Cay, to stay there? Fly to the Bahamas and then take a boat? There is no significant ferry service, so NOT so easy. Just absolutely would not work.

Clearly, it is a rumor, since I find no official discussion of that, at all. However, I have a private source who insists that they have discussed this possibility/probability in the parent company Cedar Fair, and have considered leaving California all together. The company is about 1.5...

I have heard that the parent company for Knotts Berry Farm says that they might never reopen. They are seriously considering selling off the roller coasters and developing the land as Real Estate. So sad to think that this might happen as a result of COVID and the policies of the State of...

Actually, if Disneyland ever expands, I expect that the expansion will be into the area where they currently have their parking lot. It has a lot of space available. The area is kitty corner to the current parks, to the southeast, and has fully as much space as California Adventure. Of...

I have a simple solution. I don't do any vigorous motion rides, and I especially avoid ALL the 3D rides. I'm sorry. I'm not one of those people who throws up in the back seat of a car, but I just don't do well with much motion. Last time I actually threw up on a ride, I was 14 years old...

This borrowing rule makes no sense to me. The DVC units in many hotels are running at less than 90% capacity. Kidani is only at 75% capacity right now, for DVC. WHY NOT LET PEOPLE BORROW POINTS, if they are willing to use them in the next few months, and use up some of that excess capacity AND...

It is an easy trip back and forth on an ECV. I have been in parties where 2 of our members did it regularly. However, if the bus stops at Kidani first, and still has room for at least one ECV when it arrives at Jambo, then the bus driver routinely moves the people, prepares the seat and loads...

Typically, the buses go first to Kidani, and then to Jambo. Both coming and going. Except for Disney Springs, usually. I own at BOTH buildings. I have stayed at both buildings. My favorite is Kidani, so I generally don't need to worry about the buses at Jambo. But I have NEVER had any...

Depending on when you want to rent, reservations in the 0 to 7 month window, from an Owner, should probably cost about $15 to $17 a point. However, if it is within the next 3 months, then that means the owner is probably trying to get rid of points, and $14 or $15 a point, or less, would be...

Hi. It can be a very good thing to rent from and owner. But you want an owner who is experienced and who has rented multiple times. You can also rent through an agency, but the rental agencies charge a bit more. They do a good job, and if you can't find an owner, you could try them, but they...

There clearly is one group that is already largely excluded from Disney World. That group is heavily weighed towards people on the lower end of the socio-economic income scale, but it is also including many people from the middle class, who just can no longer afford Disney.

I agree, a Standard View. BLT for those dates is likely to be hard to get

I recommend you go to one of the established, well known websites that have 'Rental Boards' such as http://www.mouseowners.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=63 OR, http://mouseowners.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=60 or, http://www.mouseowners.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=46 or...

As far as I know no one has a list of 'Recommended Owners to Rent From.' To do that, they would need to be vouching for those owners somewhat, and there is a risk in that. And for privacy reasons, the various boards probably don't want to allow posters to post about other posters. I recommend...
