Cripes!!! $6 for extra towels and you DVC people are supposed to be the 'favored ones'!!?? That's just crazy!!!
So, despite missing DL, what do you think of the DVC? Is it worth the investment?
Thanks for the link showing the room, that's really cool. I've never seen that before. The rooms look nice. Pretty standard (ha, maybe that's why they call them standard rooms:lol: ), but nice.
It'll be the first time we've stayed in a Disney room that didn't have an exterior entrance. That'll be weird.
So you're going Thanksgiving week? Are you going to be there on or after the 30th?
boy, you're telling me! my mom was pretty put out by it when they told her that! i wonder what they would charge if we asked someone to clean our room before we left?
"So, despite missing DL, what do you think of the DVC? Is it worth the investment?"
well, when you put it THAT way....
you know, i really don't know. in some ways it is, and in some ways it isn't. i like being able to stay at the deluxe resorts...but i want more of a choice in where we're able to stay on what 'little' points we can afford. plus, it's hard to please everyone in my family...all of us loved DL, so that was no problem. but with the DVC, everyone else loves WL...and don't get me wrong, i do too, but i also love BW. i think my parents have in mind to stay at WL every trip from now on, and i'd like to go to BW every now and then...but my mom hates BW, and since she's the one that makes the reservations, i really have no say so. but is it worth the investment? it may save us money if we go more than once a year, but i prefer the traditional way, and for me the DVC is a break in tradition, which i hate. so if you're a traditional type person like me, and you've already set a 'foundation' with the moderate resorts, then it's likely that you won't like the DVC. but of course that's all up to you...if you and your family enjoy staying at WL just as much as DL, then DVC is something that you'll want to look into...but if i were you, i wouldn't look too much into until trying WL out first.
yeah, not having the outside entrance is a little weird, but personally, i kinda like it better. it just seems more private to me when it's an indoor entrance...plus, you don't have to worry about having to find your room key while it's raining outside! sure, they having coverings so you don't stand in the rain, but it's just more conveinent with an indoor. plus, it means, you get either a balcony or a patio. the patios kinda freak me out though...we had one on our last trip, and it was literally on the ground...if someone could've gotta past the shrubery, they could've gotten to our patio! and if they really wanted to, they could've easily broke into our room. i didn't like that thought at all. so personally, i like balconies better. they just seem more private that way.
yep, i'll be there Thanksgiving week! i think i'll be there on the 30th, but we're leaving on the 1st....2nd at the latest, but i really think it's the 1st.
