    Navigator on kids smartwatch

    So you can use whatsapp while in airplane mode if you're connected to the ship's free wifi? I'm leaning toward not purchasing a wifi package since it doesn't seem that reliable.

    Navigator on kids smartwatch

    These sound like great options. I didn't realize imessages would work in airlpane mode. I'm fairly certain my kids would misplace phones based on how many other items they lose, but will look into ways to make this work. Thanks!

    Navigator on kids smartwatch

    Has anyone been able to use Navigator on a smartwatch? I'd love to be able to send messages to my 10 and 8 year old while they're in the kid's club on our upcoming trip and was hoping this would be a good solution. But I haven't been able to find where anyone's done this - just where they've...

    How low would resale BWV or BCV price have to go to be “worth it” to you?

    I bought BWV February 2019 at $120 and am happy with it; I buy for location and am ok with spending more for convenience. BWV requires lower points per stay compared to monorail resorts and I love being able to walk to two parks. I also think a shorter contract can be valuable since dues over...

    ***March 2020***

    I'm turning 40 on March 15th! But we're going a week earlier to hopefully get slightly smaller crowds and earlier evening shows before daylight savings (my kids will be 3 and 5, so we're earlybirds).

    Not sure - I'm a newbie myself. But I'm grateful everything's moved through so well. Good luck - I hope you have a similar fortune!

    Mason Title has been great for us! We passed ROFR on 3/8, received closing docs on 3/11 and closed 3/20. I think we probably could have closed sooner, but the seller has taken over a week to return both the accepted contract and the closing documents. Marcelo has been our contact and he's...

    :( We just had a similar experience where it took our sellers a week to return their signed contract. We just made it through ROFR and are hoping they move faster throughout the remainder of the closing process. Good luck!

    TRIP PLANNING - HELP! - MARCH 2020

    Staying on site can save you rental car expenses if you are willing to take ME from the airport to your Disney hotel and use the buses, monorail and boats to get around Disney property. If you rent a 2 BR DVC you can also save money by eating in your room rather than the parks since all of the 1...

    I passed on my 13th last week, so there's hope you will get an answer soon. Now I'm excessively checking my email for my closing docs...

    Same. The perks aren't worth the extra money to me at all, but I get a little green with envy when people post pics of the EPCOT lounge or talk about the AP discount.

    Just found out we passed! Contract was submitted later than we expected due to seller delays, but we still passed well within the 30 days. blueant315---$120-$13287-100-BWV-Dec-43/18, 100/19, 100/20- sent 2/20, passed 3/5

    Your experiences are making me nervous. We went into ROFR last week and the 30 day mark will be the day before my birthday. We're planning for our first use of the points to be a 2020 birthday trip, so we would need to close and get the points in less than a month to make our reservations...

    Dues Rules

    As you've noted above and obviously are aware of yourself, you're only locking in today's prices for a small portion of what the total cost of DVC ownership will be. I think this is why so many seasoned members mention this so passionately to us novices. When looking at purchase price, it's...

    I agree with all of the Skipper Canteen votes - most of my party is vegetarian with 1 meat eater and we all found things we loved

    Dues Rules

    Someone recommended budgeting a 5% increase in dues each year. That would make my dues higher than my purchase price for the BWV contract I for which I am ROFR over the next 10 years. No one's assuming dues will remain stagnant, so it just depends on how much you're projecting them to...

    Purchase BWV or BLT

    What a relief! I've posted about sharing a studio with my family of 4 before and gotten some sort of hostile responses that we aren't getting 1 BRs. I didn't know it was such a hot topic - when I was growing up my family of 5 always shared 1 small hotel room, so a studio with only 4 people is...
