If I was you I would sit down and look at all the costs again to see how to maximise the time you could have in Orlando. Is Orlando the only area of the US you are visiting or is it part of a bigger trip. As air fare is likely to be the biggest single expense it makes sense to spend as much...

I feel sorry for any Riveria owners who don't book before the 7 month window opens up. They can't go to any other resort, and their home resort will instantly be full with owners (not under resale restrictions) from the original 14

Not for this year. Most UK visitors will have already bought and paid for any tickets and fares for trips this year. If the exchange rate doesn't recover it may have a huge impact in the future. I'm a DVC owner, and we have already discussed selling the points and making a profit.

If you just want to chill on the lazy river or main pool then go for it. The queues for any slides or attractions will be huge. The shark reef opens after the rest of TL and there will be a big queue even before it opens.

I love raspberry and Bahama breeze do an amazing raspberry milkshake. The only place I've ever seen that flavour offered.

You don't need a Magicband. Coming from the UK we will not get our bands until we get to the Hotel (tomorrow )

You can pay cash for,the DVC units, but renting points would be cheaper. you could get a unit at one of the Epcot resorts then spend your evenings relaxing in The World Showcase followed by a short stroll back to your room.

Just book for a couple of days longer than you actually want. As soon as you make your reservations, cancel the first couple of days (due to unforeseen circumstances).

Have a "like" just for the longest post I've ever seen on any forum anywhere. To the OP I would cancel your order for the unofficial guide, it won't tell you any more than @englanddg

I totally agree about rooms for 5. I think one issue is that if they had slightly larger rooms with 5 beds, parties with fewer guests would just book them for some extra space.

Could be good if combined with animatronic dinosaurs. They already have a velociraptor.

I was last there Oct 2013, but on every trip previously it was this way. I will find out in August when I return home

Unfortunately, even up until quite recently very little thought was given to accessibility for wheel chairs. Those rides that can have been retro-fitted, but that is why many times wheel chair users have to bypass the main entrances. On all the newer rides they will have been designed to allow...
