    The Cosmetics/Beauty Thread

    :( I wish brands offered more shade options! They seem to get the middle but miss the darker tones and the fairest of tones. That’s why my next purchase will probably be Fenty, they seem much more inclusive. the mascara I use is their Lashcraft...

    The Cosmetics/Beauty Thread

    The gel foundation is super interesting. I wonder what that feels like on the skin? This year I’ve been opting for Tarte’s tinted moisturizer and it actually have decent coverage for not being a “true” foundation. I hardly wear anything anymore but I do like that and Sephora brand mascara. :)

    Cleanliness Reassurance during COVID-19?

    I say this as someone who hasn't stepped foot inside a grocery store or Target (I know it misses me and my wallet) since COVID started, I would be totally comfortable staying at a Disney hotel. They are going above and beyond what other resorts are doing and offering enhanced cleaning all...

    Need help deciding on points/resort/month

    It’s funny because I agree with you and still bought in a BCV. I knew it was a much worse value than AKV, where I also bought, but it’s my favorite resort and I wanted the priority booking for it. That math doesn’t work, but the heart wants what it wants. :hilarious: Yeah, I bought at BCV...

    Need 125 Direct Points for Perks Soon?

    yes, especially since many studios sleep 5 and some 1 bedrooms sleep 4. My husband and I are the opposite of most people, only 2 of us and we bought in hoping for one bedrooms for the full kitchen and extra space. Our guide definitely didn’t push us for more points, he was happy with just 100...

    I travel similar dates and am going with a March use year, that’s what our guide suggested to us.

    Need help deciding on points/resort/month

    With COVID they are doing enhanced cleaning between guests including high touch point objects. They currently are capping borrowing at 50% for the time being due to the pandemic as well. Things like room service aren’t going, and masks are required at common areas.

    Need help deciding on points/resort/month

    Hi! I too am buying DVC. Best advice I was given was “buy where you want to stay”. I’m buying 125 points direct at BCV as that is my favorite. But the contract length is shorter than BLT for the same price, for us though, we knew we wanted BCV and we decided it didn’t matter as much not having...

    Which resort for which stay?

    Agreed. Shorter stay at CR will save money and the deluxe resorts are decorated for Christmas way more than the others. :)

    Need 125 Direct Points for Perks Soon?

    That's fair. We are going in at 125 and buying roughly 100 resale all at the Beach Club Villas. We don't plan on using studios that much which is why we are adding on more with resale. It's a short contract, but that is my favorite resort at Disney so I figured even with the shorter contract, I...

    Its "official" Were DVC Members

    My husband is a little hesitant as well. We loved the hotel but he feels like it's a bit far away from everything. We are planning on deciding by the end of the week. I'm sure we will have addonitis too, we are already thinking of just buying points for a week at each lol. OKW is gorgeous, I...

    Need 125 Direct Points for Perks Soon?

    I just spoke with a CM about buying DVC this morning and he told me that in Mid October you will need 125 points direct from Disney to get the perks that come along with membership. I was looking at buying 100 points direct and adding on a resale contract to get the total amount I want. Just...

    Kids keeping there masks on.

    I don't have kids personally but my nephew (4) wears a mask no issue now. My sister explained to him, in terms he can understand, that is important because a virus is going around and we need to protect ourselves and others. She also got him some really cool cloth masks and he can choose which...

    Polynesian, Boardwalk, or Wilderness Lodge

    Hi! Right now only Poly and Boardwalk are only Villas and Bungalows are open to stay, the normal non DVC rooms are closed until next summer for Poly and TBD for boardwalk, you may still be able to find openings though for a Studio. :) For resort only, I love Boardwalk personally, you can walk...

    Eh, that’s like asking why anyone would waste money on cable, alcohol, or buying expensive clothes. It’s preferences, I prefer to stay on property and to me, it’s worth it, but I get it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Outside of Orlando I do tend to stay in more high end hotels but I like the feel...

    Yep! One of the only 3 Bedroom (possibly the only) rooms that work with discounts too! It’s part of Saratoga Springs and you can book directly from the website or on the phone :) Disney sells DVC rooms to the public if they aren’t full.
