    The unvarnished truth about availability?

    Thanks for all the info. I spoke to him and made sure he understood how this was really going to work and I'm happy to report that he's fine with it. We've only ever stayed at the WL and BC as far as nicer resorts and I'm happy to say he's open to trying others. So we'll book at 11 mos for SS...

    The unvarnished truth about availability?

    Yup, I kind of thought that was the case. Unfortunately I knew that if I didn't get him to buy while we were there, he was going to put it off and then forget about it. Guess we'll just do the best we can and see what happens. The SSR was gorgeous but since I have vacationed in the actual...

    We did it!!!

    Congrats from another DVC newbie! Be sure to rent one of the bicycles. Our teens had so much fun with that and we spent the rest of the trip encouraging the little kids to "ring that bell".

    The unvarnished truth about availability?

    Can someone give me the lowdown on booking in a non-home resort? I understand how it works but I want to know how well it works. My hubby like many people just loves the Beach Club. He asked he nice people at DVC several times if owning at SSR and booking at BC was going to be a problem and...

    Saratoga Springs Sold Out?

    We just purchased and they said they expected to sell out in the next few weeks because of all the incentives they are offering right now. I don't think they were lying as we had already finished our transaction and the guy was pretty upfront about it. He said they need to get it done so they...

    Using Magical Express and checking in...

    We just did this. It was a little over an hour for us. We got there after check in time but we left late our last day. The bell captain was happy to take our carryon and hold it for us. When we were ready to catch our bus to the airport, they valet brought it out to the bus stop.

    DVC?'s...please help

    We just purchased our DVC and what we were told is that while Disney recommends a certain number of people based on unit size there are no "DVC police" patrolling to make sure you don't have more. (unless of course you are creating a disturbance.) It's just their recommendation based on what...

    Finally Got BCV. Please tell me all about it.

    Let me see, best things about the BC... Yes, you can walk to Epcot. You can also walk to Disney Hollywood studios. (We never actually walked to the park but often walked back to avoid the crowds after Fantasmic. It's a pleasant 10 minute stroll even at a snails pace.) Be sure to rent a bike...

    Is it worth it to get a AAA memebership...

    I say yes! You would be shocked at how many places give AAA discounts. Not just parks and such but stores like Target. We got ours mainly for our WDW trip but I have been using it non-stop since. Oh and you don't have to use their travel agents. We are using KK and Marie had no problem...

    Haven't planned a thing!! Yikes!!

    You sound like my hubby and I. I planned the actual trip but he usually does the day to day stuff. He hasn't even started looking at it yet.Leaving on 5/21...We have no ADRs made but we also don't do the dining plan, the few places we wanted to eat don't take reservations anyway. I'm pretty...

    True or False?

    I believe a previous post claimed that details were needed. That was what I was referring to. Edit note: Was referring to this post: Originally Posted by Disneykidder Yes, Disney requires a specific and beit, legible doctors note explaining the patients disability.
