Any idea how late it runs? Like late enough to come back from dinner at Hoop Dee Doo?

Checking again.

Just checking again. Staying at Bay Lake and Boulder Ridge in September. Would be nice to take the Blue Flag. I'm guessing they are still experiencing "supply issues" (i.e., they don't want to pay for staff).

Anyone willing to share the tips regarding the "right at 8:00a" secret to booking? I've tried to start a walk three times in the past week, only to lose out. Twice I saw the room when I was booking and apparently someone clicked just slightly ahead of me. Once I guess I hit the book button just...

I think I understand what you are saying. I would never sell the 25 pt contract, unless I knew I was going to purchase, and in fact had already purchased, enough direct points to be able to get rid of the older contract but still retain the membership extras. If the right situation does not...

Except it's not a 15 years from now problem, when prices will be much higher then, and it means I have to retain a contract for all that time that I might not want to. Again, not worried. As much as I enjoy the Polynesian, I see little reason to purchase there since they have one room type...

Not "pretty worried." I'm actually just trying to make a better informed decision. I am likely to add on some more points, and given what and how much I want, direct purchase is likely to be the best route for me. So I'd like to make a decision that doesn't preclude some flexibility of selling a...

Thanks. That's what I've been assuming, that as long as I have 150 points from direct purchases other than the 25 point Boardwalk contract, that I would still qualify regardless of when I might sell the Boardwalk contract. Unfortunately I was always a bit behind on all the thresholds. 35 points...

I think this is more a member services questions, but it probably also related in part to the purchasing DVC forums too. It's not necessarily a typical situation and let me preface it by saying that ultimately I will be talking to Member Services too, but was curious if anyone here had...

Thanks for this. I'm always game to at least try online. I prefer when I'm in control. LOL If it looks like it's not doing what I want, I can always call. I'm also not adverse to just eating the points as it's not a lot, but hate giving up bonus money like that.

Yeah, thankfully I used "mixed points" at the start, so it wasn't booked under my home resort privileges (even though the stay is at one on my home resorts.

Is there a complication if I have used current and borrowed points? In other words, when I substitute the new points for ones I've used, I would release points from another contract. Because I cannot bank borrowed points, I would like to release current year points instead of the borrowed...

Thank you! That totally makes sense. Will give it a try once my new contact’s points get added to my account.

I'm curious if anyone has experience with this. About to close on a resale contract that has points banked in from 2022. I already have my reservations booked for my 2023 UY, so unless I plan another trip I could lose the banked points. I have one reservation remaining in September/October this...

I will miss the funky backsplash and shower tile, among a few other things. But as one of the naysayers, I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with the redo. Don't LOVE it, but it's still nice, distinctive and retains some of the lodge character. Certainly an improvement from the recent...

Thanks for these! I had missed them as I was searching for Boulder Ridge and not BRV. Still haven't seen a video of a studio, but appreciate the pics!

I'm amazed that this thread kinda just petered out with the holidays and still hasn't been revived yet. I'm even more amazed that there are no photos out there of the new, completed rooms (or very few). I have not seen one photo from a new studio someone stayed in. Please!!! Can someone...

I've also heard that VISAs will get rejected, but not MasterCard.

Same thing happened to me. I was on my desktop computer about 10 minutes before 11a and got 6400 as a number. After 11a when I was supposed to be behind everyone who had already been waiting prior to 11a and got their random number, I got a number 3000 lower on my phone. So in other words, after...

These are the two pictures I saw in another DIS Boards thread (and also other places on the 'Net). https://www.disboards.com/threads/boulder-ridge-referb.3843989/page-2 https://www.disboards.com/threads/boulder-ridge-referb.3843989/page-3
