Anyone hear any rumors about something happening at the Poly in August? I just went on and looked and there are no DVC studio rooms available for a roughly 6 week period starting second week in August. I have a room booked 8/25-8/29 and would like to know now if the rooms won’t be available...

With Pfizer’s news dropping last Monday on their vaccine being 90%+ effective in their phase 3 clinical trial I wanted to start a thread dedicated to the vaccine developments. The general Covid thread moves too fast and sometimes vaccine info and discussion gets lost. Feel free to discuss...

In your opinion which worldwide resort will be first to open? Feel free to give a reason why below.

There is a general thread on the virus and impacts to WDW but I didn’t want to bog that one down with specific talk of DVC. What happens if WDW closes the parks and resorts for a period of time? It’s easier to cancel a hotel room but what happens to DVC points used to book rooms during the...

I am attempting to book a 10 night split stay for Aug 19 through Aug 29 with 6 nights in a 2 bedroom at BCV (8/19-8/25) and then 4 nights in a studio at Poly (8/25-8/29). As I understand it the FP+ reservations can be made for the full 10 nights right at the 60 day mark of the first check-in...

So now that we know that Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge will open at DHS in “late fall” 2019 (incredibly exciting) I figured it would be as good a time as any to start a contest thread to guess the opening date. Similar to the Pandora and Toy Story Land contests only one person per date. I’ll keep a...

I saw on DVCNews.com that DVC is going to raise prices for direct purchases of current DVC resorts on January 17, 2018. With these rumored price increases several resorts will be priced above $200 per point. Only Vero Beach has had a price decrease with Grand Californian going up...

Similar to the thread we did for Pandora I thought it would be fun to make guesses on the opening date for Toy Story Land. Same rules. Only one person per date. I’ll keep a running list below so look before you pick. If you pick a date that’s already taken I’ll give you the day before or...

Since the layoff thread got sidetracked with a lot of debate on the merits of Disney Springs I added this thread to continue the discussion. Feel free to talk about anything related to Disney Springs. I would have added an "I miss Pleasure Island" choice for the poll but I'm sure it would have...

We are entering the home stretch of "Avatar Land" construction so I thought it would be fun to start a thread dedicated to guessing the opening date of the new land. As you post your guess I'll go back and edit the first post in the thread to keep a running list. The person who is closest to...

Based on info from the Condo Association meeting the Beach Club Villas will undergo a hard goods and a soft goods refurb starting in March. This includes the 5th person sleeper to all the studios. I assume an update of furniture and bedding as well. From what I have heard recently about BCV...

Has anyone else seen or played with the new tool? It's pretty cool. I think it's still in testing and has a few bugs, but when working it allows you to pick multiple resorts and room types for a period of time and tells you which (if any) are available. The biggest advantage is that it allows...

I got the e-mail today about the annual DVC meeting with the agenda and budgets. Looks like BLT is going from $4.50 to $4.7846 or a 6.3% increase over last year. This is getting a little concerning since the last 2 years had steep increases as well. I will try to pull together a breakdown of...

Per this article the new DVC wing at GFV will be offering a portion of the rooms for a fixed week like some traditional timeshare programs. Apparently they offered this at Aulani too, but it will be the first time offered at WDW. They also charged a 10% premium over the equivalent DVC points...

I came across this interesting breakdown of how DVC calculates fees for each resort: http://dvcnews.com/index.php/dvc-program/financial/2012-resort-budgets I have seen posts in various threads discussing DVC purchases that discuss how the fees are only allowed to cover operating expenses and...

For my next trip to WDW we will be flying and not renting a car. We are staying in a 2 BR villa at BLT. We definitely want to get some food and drinks for the room. Not planning on cooking Thanksgiving dinner or anything like that. Mostly breakfast, snacks and drinks. I have several question...
