    question about renting DVC points for the VGF in december

    Problem is that VGF is not near sold out and the owners are staying there themselves, not renting out their points. December? No way. The 1st 2 weeks of December is cheap season for DVC, most every place books up fast. They are selling fixed weeks at VGF and I believe the December weeks sold...

    staying at akv. suggestions?

    Jambo House! We've stayed at Kidani and Jambo and Jambo wins hands down. Kidani can be so remote if you are on the far end and there is no way to get a quick bite to eat easily. Under the building parking is nice there but if you don't have a car that won't help. My 2 cents.

    Saratoga Springs vs Old Key West - Advice & Opinions Wanted!

    From what I understand only 3 buildings at OKW have elevators. I think all 3 buildings are near the Hospitality House. If you have mobility problems or if you are worried about strollers you can always request a building with an elevator or a ground floor villa.

    Can you do this?

    I found this link to describe walking a reservation. The actual description starts about halfway down. http://disneygene.blogspot.com/2013/11/i-dont-think-i-can-walk-walk.html

    Saratoga Springs vs Old Key West - Advice & Opinions Wanted!

    5 to 10 minutes depending on how fast you walk. The walkway/new bridge is really a nice feature to staying at SSR, especially near Congress Park. The Paddock buildings on that end are close. Even walking from the Springs is quicker than the boat. The boat is better if you want to go to West...

    Saratoga Springs vs Old Key West - Advice & Opinions Wanted!

    The walkway to DTD goes along the lake by Congress Park out to N. Buena Vista Drive. Then it's a short walk along the road, turn right and it takes you by the current MarketPlace bus stop into the MarketPlace by the Christmas Shop. They are building the bridge so you won't have to go all the...

    Can you do this?

    I'm glad to hear you achieved your goal. But unless you got a really nice CM there probably was availability at BWV and she did what I described. That's what took so long and why you got a new confirmation #. I know the rules about circumventing the home resort advantage because I tried to do...

    Saratoga Springs vs Old Key West - Advice & Opinions Wanted!

    Walking path is open and the bridge is coming along nicely but I have no timeline. There are some pictures on this site but it was a little further along than they show. I took some pictures but not sure how to post them here. SSR is a lovely resort and I'm sure you will love it. My...

    BLT 7 months out in Oct--is there a chance?

    October, especially around Columbus Day will be tough, especially for a standard studio. Those book up at 11 months. The upside is that 1 bedrooms are the last to book and there are more lake views than standard or MK views. Good luck!

    Renting Points and DDP

    You can get the DDP if you rent DVC points but it will be OOP. You can get a cash reservation through Disney during free dining but that is scary expensive since during free dining you are paying rack rates. If you rent points from a member or David's the owner you are renting from will have...

    Can you do this?

    Trying to switch those points at 7 months would be circumventing the home resort advantage. MS will not let you do that. Sorry. You can only do this if there is availability at 7 months. You will have to cancel the 1st reservation and use the borrowed BWV points and the SSR points. Then you...

    Saratoga Springs vs Old Key West - Advice & Opinions Wanted!

    We just got back from SSR and are staying at OKW the 1st week of June. We really like both resorts. The only cons are they are both spread out and very large. These are considered "condo" style resorts. If you want a more hotel experience you may not like either. Some people feel like they...

    Have you ever rented DVC points?

    You could check out David's Disney Vacation Club Rentals. I have personally not used David's service but know it is very reputable. I am a DVC member and have rented privately from owners 3 times over the last 3 years. Even with the points we have it never seems to be enough. I'm new here...
