This is the hallway on the first floor of the Beach Club (not the Villas) - notice the battleship color of the walls. These are first floor pics of the Villas. The carpet was pretty worn so I'm hoping this was a test scheme that was abandoned. The previous post pics of the hallway were of...

Always will depend on what time of year you want to go. We are BCV owners and are doing a split stay this March and had no problem getting a studio at Poly and last July we stayed at Grand California, but that one we reserved right at the 7 months mark. I will say though that since we are a...

Um, I'm thinking BCVs.;) Beach Club Villas will get its refurbishment and once again be a stellar resort. We have never regretted owning there and the 11 month booking window advantage can become very useful certain times of the year.

When discussing DVC you must remember that it is a luxury purchase, that will save you money over time if you continue visiting WDW. I think for many of us who bought into DVC we were not running the numbers of purchasing DVC or investing the money. If it wasn't DVC, it would have been an...

Because I can.

Great photos, thanks for sharing as I'm never up that early at WDW. Unless my wife schedules some early breakfast character meal that we are running to and thus unable to enjoy any morning sights.

My real home is becoming dated and things need to be replaced so I feel right at home at BCV.:)

Here's one option: http://www.expresstransportationnow.com/Orlando-Attractions-Shuttle-Services/shuttle-to-orlando.html

Nice! I have bought a lot of drinks in WDW, but never a pitcher. That probably cost more than what I used to pay for kegs way back in undergrad.

I would stay for two weeks a few times a year in a deluxe hotel. Hey if I have unlimited time and money, I have other places to visit also. I don't think I would want to own near the world because then real world issues will start to take away from the escape that WDW is to me. I don't want to...

Alamo has two locations on property - one at the car care center and the other at Swain/ Dolphin. You could see how much a one way rental would cost from Tampa Airport to WDW. Or, search shuttle services that operate out of Tampa Airport such as -...

I don't think we're there yet, but you could have the resort bus stops and drop off locations become secured areas and do the search at the resorts. All I'm doing is standing around waiting for a bus, might as well get my search over with and then I can go directly into the park once my bus...

Capitalism..... As long as people are willing to pay, Disney will find something to sell. Hey, if you have the money to spend, enjoy that private event. Now, if you are buying it because you think you deserve it and at the same time hope retirement and bills will just work themselves out, good...

I assume the happiest place on earth (never been there) would be the state lottery headquarters turning in a grand prize winning Powerball ticket.

LuvtheGoof is right. We bought our first BCV contract resale before the restrictions and then wanted to add a specific amount of points. We didn't want to have some of our points restricted (hind sight: really never been an issue) and wanted the same use year so we bought direct from Disney...

Ten years ago? Remind me to never get on your bad side, you know how to carry a grudge.

If we fly during a peak time or in winter, we will get trip insurance. The way the airlines operate nowadays, if weather hits, it can delay you up to a few days. I really look at that when booking a flight for a cruise - will try to fly early to avoid the snowball effect of cancellations, try...

I'd ask him if I could talk to Roy. He had the skills and ability to "find" the money to make Walt's dreams a reality. Without him, Walt's dreams would have remained just dreams.
