I took some photos of the new tower today and posted them here: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/album.php?albumid=615 EDIT: Added photos from the DVC preview center rooms for the Bay Lake Tower. Today I took photos of pretty much every square inch of the studio and 1 bedroom models. If there...

Getting Groceries Pete - I know this will sound really frugal, but this is what we do. We too fly out of DTW, and are all about saving $$ when we go to Disney. We check an extra bag, and fly all of our food down. All frozen items are put into freezer bags (the large foil ones), everything...

Can you guys send me your spreadsheets also? Would love to check them out. james@brandoncomputer.com Thanks! Jim

Nice seeing another forum member going at the same time. Who knows, we may cross paths there and not even know it. - Jim

Almost... 102 days left for me until our first DVC trip. We just went to WDW in May and I can't wait to go back. 3 days at Hilton Head and 5 days at Saratoga Springs.

Would love to see this on XM also... - Jim

My cheapest? This past May 2006... My dad was down at Disney World for 2 weeks on General Motors business, so he had a several extra rooms at the Poly to use. * My Wife, 2 kids and myself stayed in one of the rooms for 6 nights for free. * Used his Northwest miles to get 3 out of the 4 of...

Like others here have said... you're not alone :) I'm 33 and my wife is 32, we love going to Disney World so much that we just joined the DVC 3 weeks ago and have already planned another trip for November and 2 more next year. This past May was the first time that our Kids were old enough to...

Just signed up at SSR, with 180 pts! We just checked out the DVC 3 weeks ago while we were down there on vacation and we just booked our first vacation there for November of this year. - Jim

Noticed it here also... You could actually hear the birds for the split second that they were on the screen. You got to love the little touches like this, they make the movie fun to watch again and again as you look for more. - Jim

I wonder how many years worth of DVC points that would cost to stay there. (:lol: lol) - Jim

Wow, that's quite a few holes... It does make you wonder what they are up to tho. (let's just hope that everything patches up real nice) - Jim

"will the "magic" still be there?" Yes, for sure!! I'm 33 and still get as much out of going as I did when my parents took me (even more so now that we took our kids for the first time this May). I think now I slow down and take more in then I did when I was younger so alot of things seem new...
