The answer is... yes, they will most likely have your reservation. According to what I have been told, they download the reservation to the resort between 1 and 5 days before the check-in date. We...

Actually, the AKV one bedrooms will have two bathrooms. We toured the model at the SSR preview center 2 weeks ago. So that will really be the best bet for a DVC family of 5.

My understanding was...

If you take your mother/son trips in "down" times (May, September, mid-late Jan) then points are fine. If you want spring break, Nov/Dec, Easter, then cash is better.

We bought in Feb, closed...

We check in on the 13th!!

We are staying on the villas side, for our first DVC trip. I will add to catzle's post if you post this question again on the 21st.

We don't do refillable mugs (drive...

I read this review and we switched our Maya Grill reservation for next week to Kona Cafe. Hope our experience is as good as yours! :thumbsup:

I would recommend having the first night of your trip be a room only reservation. That way you are not paying for DDP or ticket for that day that you likely won't use anyhow. The resort will most...

We just bought DVC and so far have had no troubles. Booked a 1bed at VWL for 3 nights in May with 6 weeks notice. Booked a 1bed at BCV and a 2bed at BWV w/ 5 months notice, one for 4 nights and the...

MJ did great for us! I highly recommend them.

Unfortunately, we have bought DVC and will only be doing room-only AP rate rooms for 1-2 day trips before or after our DVC stays, and MJ only does...

There are also a ton of places on 192... a grocery store for adult beverages if you so choose, and every fast food place known to man.

We tend to bring a lot of snack-y type foods (as well as the...

The minimum through Disney is now 160 pts, FWIW.

Resale you do NOT have to buy 160, you can buy whatever is available, from 25 pts up.

There are only a few reasons to go direct for a "sold...

We make our ADRs and then plan our travel around them.

However, WDW is about the total package to us... food, resort, theme parks, water parks. We are not "commando" style (not that it is bad to...

Yup, agree w/ Carol.

Basically, it all depends on your timeframe. If you are aren't that interested in that particular contract, and/or are willing to potentially fail ROFR and have to start...

Thanks for the Marrakesh advice! Our plan is to try it out in May and if we hate it, change it for Sept. We are taking friends on the Sept trip for 6 of the nights, and Marrakesh is on the list...

I have never been to the Prime-Time.

It looks as though you are staying at Coronado Springs... have you thought about the Maya Grill? It is a really quiet, nice, upscale place w/ great food. ...

I would try renting points from a member. To give you an example, a 2-bed villa at BCV during value season is $670/night. Regular is $880/night.

In point value, Sun-Thurs, the same 2-bed villa...

I guess I just look at things differently... I think that allowing DVCers to purchase the DDP is a discount in itself.

The DDP is really an incentive to have you buy a "package" (room at rack...

Had my CPA friend do ours 2 weeks ago, got the refund on Friday! :thumbsup:

I am just overexcited and that is why I post them. :blush:

DH has turned me into a Disney nut, but he and I are the only ones we know. My coworkers and friends all think we are nuts to go to...

Thanks everyone!! We just bought DVC and had extra points this year that we would lose if we didn't use, hence the 11 day trip. We are sharing our DVC for half the trip in a 2-bed with friends and...

I posted this on another board, and will post it here too:

I look at it like this... 5 nights in a studio at OKW would be 40 pts. My approx. cost per pt is $7/pt (taking my buy-in cost divided by...

I believe that your friend has something akin to Interval International, where he can trade his timeshare week for a week at a DVC resort.

If this is the case and he can effect the trade, then...

I think it is $6 for 4 towels...

6 people in a studio seems like a LOT!

If you are in a 1-bed you would get the washer/dryer so you could keep washing towels. I think we are going to pack a...

We called last night and made our ADRs... got everything we wanted for when we wanted except Le Cellier in May.

May (4 night trip, 3 nights on DDP):
Boma (OOP),
Maya Grill,
Alfredo's,...

I am the lone dissenting vote here, I think...

I would choose the Radisson. We stayed there last September for one night before beginning our package, and it was very nice. Be aware that they...

Which would you suggest? Why?

Can you reserve R&C for an Illuminations viewing or does that cost extra?

Also, can anyone tell me if the "appetizers for two" at Raglan Road can be ordered as...
