    VGF Villas & Views - REVISED 07/22/2017

    It looks like there may be only 4 units that have a chance of seeing some fireworks above the trees or above other GF buildings. It wouldn't be like seeing the fireworks show keep in mind, it would just be seeing a little bit of the higher fireworks. It looks like it would be units 1225, 1325...

    Two one-day tickets on the same day?

    The only way that makes sense is if the person has previously purchased tickets sitting in their account, and are willing to just burn both of them, instead of turning one into a park hopper and save the other one. Still would end up costing them more overall though, just delaying the extra...

    vGF resale prices

    Well 3/4 mile is 50% longer than the walk from BLT, so I'm just pointing that out that people may not realize that, when they hear "oh you can walk there now" and jump on purchasing. If you're a walker, that's great, go for it. I think people might want to try it a couple times first though...

    vGF resale prices

    If it's just the walkway, I think that's a bit extreme. I do hope people realize that it is going to be a long walk from MK through the main resort almost to the wedding pavilion area. It's a much longer walk than say over to BLT. It may be useful on say nights like holiday weeks when the...

    Parking lot view at the Poly from Pago Pago

    Unfortunately the parking lot side there is right on the parking lot, not a whole lot of greenery dividing it (although you do also see the monorail going by). So yes that is a risk you take booking standard view there (although it is a small number of rooms compared to the total- 36? On that...

    Is Disney finally seeing consumers say they're pricing themselves out of peoples ability to pay?

    This to me is a really bad sign. When you give kids a bunch of money to spend at a theme park and they can't find anything and come home with money? That is either very careful kids or Disney is leaving money on the table.

    A

    There should have been a whole section in the gift shop of the H2O products. It would not have been on the same shelf as the Tylenol and toothbrushes, it would have been over by like the sunglasses and beach towels, that area, there is usually a whole shelving section devoted to the H2O...

    Frustated about being locked out of 11 mos booking due to walking

    I thought the limit at 11 months was booking 7 nights, is it 14? But I know you can't book like a month and then start dropping days.

    Frustated about being locked out of 11 mos booking due to walking

    My suggestion, although not perfect, would be to allow a couple of modifications for free, and then, especially if you are trying to modify the dates at the same resort again, have a progressively higher fee for the next couple modifications, and then after 4 or 5 total say the dates at the same...

    Does DVC have a problem with renting points?

    And be careful what you wish for, because DVC could also do some of those things to resale owners as well, like having priority check in for direct owners, guaranteeing direct owners preference in what room within a vacation home type that they get, etc.

    Bay Lake Tower - Impact of 2nd Tower to BLT resale?

    It is likely that a second building at Contemporary is on the list somewhere for the future (as well as a second DVC at the Poly), but it won't be one of the next 2-3 resorts, it will be after that down the line in a decade or so.

    Help Pete with the not-so-obvious reasons to buy DVC for an episode of The DVC Show

    One of the big intangibles for me after I purchased was the feeling of "really? really? I actually own a piece of that building inside Disney world?" It's an actual real estate interest, and it took a while to sink in that I actually owned a piece of that building I would go by on the ferry into...

    Would you join a lawsuit to revert DVC's resale restrictions?

    This is the type of thing that won't gain a lot of traction right away, but as more Riviera owners start to sell in a few years, there will be some blowback at that time as they realize "whoops this contract is different than all the other resorts, now I'm still underwater if financed or have to...

    Seriously Big Park Hours Update 8/29-11/2 - Daily AM EMHs added for DHS, DAK, & MK

    With this news, I am wondering if it might be better to wait until later in the evening, because this event insures that there will be a big stampede of resort guests early in the morning. I guess we will see.

    Grand Floridian to Art of Animation...will I be disappointed?

    I think AoA is worth a stay just to walk around and look at everything there. Lots of large theming elements to see and explore- the Cars pool area is a must see. And the main Nemo pool is very nice. If you know what it is going in, that it is very whimsical not super luxury, it will be a fun...

    Where is the FOP line when you should skip it at RD?

    FoP is kind of different than other rope drops, in that they will let people into AK, and then hold people at the entrance to Avatar as well in a crowd. And then even if you're the very first in line, you are not going to be in and out of FoP in a few minutes and then be able to run to Navi...

    Multi-Site POS Revision Dated 01/19/19

    The raw occupancy data would probably just be the number of rooms that went unoccupied each day or month, which doesn't really measure demand in this case. What you would want to see are the bookings at 90 days, 60 days, and 30 days for each vacation home type, which would probably be getting...

    Oct MK EMH change?

    And you really think these paid nights won't become crowded just like the holiday events? Disney has already shown that they will sell as many tickets as they can, and not limit the crowd just because it is a paid event. I won't say I will never go again, but it will be way less now, because...

    No more smoking or vaping in the parks

    Yea except CMs are told or won't say anything, just like at the store where I work- pets aren't allowed, only real service dogs. But nobody will say anything to avoid having a scene. So you're going to end up with people just smoking wherever in the parks, when it would have been better to keep...

    Multi-Site POS Revision Dated 01/19/19

    I agree, the annual pass would cost them something, but all the other things would be pretty inexpensive or free for them to offer. No reason not to do that.
