    Check in vs request success poll

    Ok, here is why I started this poll. I requested a room with a certain view. There are many at this resort that would fulfill that request. I used the online check-in a week or so before wecarrivved without adding any request that would override my initial request. We arrived at about 2pm but...

    Check in vs request success poll

    To clarify, the question is more about the type of check in procedure you use rather than how you made a request or what you requested. I am wondering if online check in reduces your chances of getting your request or at least not getting the worst room in the resort. At this point the only data...

    Dont take comments like that one from AstroBlasters to serously. Some people can't resist throwing shade on others. Everyone's situation is different. Enjoy your DVC. I know I have.

    Availability reality at non home resort 7 months out

    We purchased SSR in 2017. We have done about 12 stays since then. We have only ever stayed at SSR once and that was by our own choice. We have always either had our waitlist come through or changed at the 7 month window. We have had stays at AKL, BWV, CCV, OKW, BRV and upcoming BLT. I just...

    "Sleep-Around Points" (SAP) - The Thread

    We purchased SSR sight unseen in 2017. We knew we didn't care where we ended up as we look at as just a place to sleep. SSR at the time was the most economical by my calculations. In those years and about 10 stays we spent 1 week there and even though we got Carousel it was a great stay. I guess...

    Drawn to Life

    I've seen it twice and loved it both times. I've been to other Cirque shows and this one does not have as much acrobatics. The story is rather touching and had me thinking a lot about the past. You will enjoy it I'm sure. If you look at the arena map there are 2 sections with only 4 seats. Each...

    Formal Attire to California Grill

    Not black tie but my wife and I will dress for one meal on every trip. I put on a nice suit and tie and her in a nice dress to match. We do get a lot of looks and also many complements. I even had the cop at disney springs que the drug dog to sniff me up as I walked by 😂 Have fun with it.

    Perks using resale points vs direct

    I own a mix and have seen no difference. If you are qualified member you qualify regardless of which points you use. The only exceptions are using resale points at the newest resort, cruise, and I think the Disney Collection of hotels. I'm sure some will correct what I may have wrong or add what...

    Ft. Wilderness Cabins becoming DVC?

    I sure hope not. My Scout troop has used it twice and it is a great opportunity for the kids. The best of both camping and theme park.
