Excellent video! Thanks for posting it. I liked the tour of the grounds from parking to check-in to getting to the DVC tower. Helps me orient myself when we come in by car. We also have a Deluxe Garden Studio booked in a week. Looking forward to staying there too.

Yes. Taxes when it opened. Grand californian DVC is grandfathered in to 2000 rates. I think the hotel side charges the current rates.

Thank you for responding. Maybe you read it that way, but I wasn't angry. I was just pointing out that, in my mind, there are 15+ DVC resorts. And a DVC contract gives you access to all of the DVC properties. There are 3 basic DVC contracts (full, partial, 1 resort only) If you can reserve...

do you always try to gaslight people? Please be civil.

It’s a contract that can ONLY be used at VDH. It can’t be used at any other resorts, cruises or any 3rd party DVC partners. It comes with no perks either. So, essentially, it’s just a VDH contract. Calling it a DVC contract is misinformation.

$185 is way too high for a VDH contract. You're trying to compare a DVC contract with a VDH contract. This is apples and oranges. It doesn't matter what the DVC contract would cost, you're not buying a DVC contract anymore, just a contract at Villas at Disneyland Hotel.

The economy means different things to different people. I remember being in my 20s, working in the early 2000s. As I was just getting out of college, single and in a new job, I had so much more money than I ever had before. I was loving being able to buy whatever I wanted. The economy was great...

I get that. I tried for a VGC reservation, couldn’t get it as it was booked for the time I wanted in February. I was able to snag a VDH reservation instead. I'll have to pay about $1,000 extra in taxes for this VDH reservation. I'm looking every day to trade my VDH nights for VGC nights...

The room WILL be booked. Doesn’t matter if it’s Saratoga points… whoever rents the room will pay the tax and give Anaheim income.

I would contact the DVC Rental Store and tell them about this owner. This owner is trying to make money by not paying the DVC Rental Store their fees In a future contract. This owner is using DVC as their own business and should be banned.

Didn’t those close?

We're from Buffalo too. We went last year Dec 10-24. We drove. It was nice to have a car there. Buffalo had that 7 feet snowstorm Dec 23. The airport was closed. The only way we were able to get home was driving. Thankfully we did. It was hard to drive with most of the roads closed on Dec 24...

I could see Disney eventually making Annual passes unavailable most of the time, except for special events, like we are seeing right now. But these could be far and few between, like once every 2 years. But also make them available immediately for new direct DVC purchases through Disney. This...

It would also cost a bunch to extend the monorail to your house.

If I wasn’t doing okay financially, I wouldn’t even CONSIDER DisneyWorld. $35 bands are a no brainer for the additional fun. My daughter is 14. This is the first time we’ve been able to take her to DisneyWorld. It’s not a vacation for the poor.

You can get any UY you want. They'll try a little push-back. As sales agents, it's their job to sell what Disney wants them to first! Be persistent and they'll give you want you want.

YouTube video explaining this. He says the work Dec 2015-Feb 2016 in Shanghai outside the Tron building is being done July to September at WDW

People are looking at the timeline for developing Tron in Shanghai. If you compare times for when they completed the canopy, ride testing, etc.... the ride was ready 3 months later. Puts us around October.

I agree. I think the whole open middle area with the lights and festival area will be great. I remember disliking those 2 buildings (Innoventions West and East) when I went in the 80s and 90s. They were boring, right out of a science museum. Didn't fit with Disney. They were fine and all, but...
