    For those of you that have added on recently do you do direct or resale?

    We mostly have done direct add-ons. It is really easy for smaller contracts, but with that said, now that our "home" is once again sold out we are finished with direct for a while. We did add a resale contract at a different resort with a different use year. I think having it be a different...

    Member Magic: THE GUARDIANS ARE CALLING!

    I'm #461 with 160-odd people ahead but I'm dropping out - decided it makes more sense to just do a regular after-hours since I hadn't initially caught that this is only World DIscovery (guess I need to read emails more closely!). I would imagine a few others will drop off as well!

    Share your thoughts - Internal Struggle for Next Contract Purchase

    We went with VGF for our first purchase - the lower dues actually make it one of the less expensive contracts over the lifetime (I think it is still being beaten by SSR but I wasn't interested in buying there). We also were last-minute trip-takers before we bought and I assumed that habit would...

    Where to stay when out of points?

    We did a hotwire blind booking when we were in this situation last year - you can do it so you know you are getting one of the good neighbor hotels (really if you are willing to invest some time you can almost always figure out exactly which hotel you are booking before you do it) and ended up...

    Galactic Starcruiser Sailing

    When I booked I was told that it might be a few days - she said that the starcruiser side has to confirm our payment and then they will issue their own reservation code for MDE. I assume these reservations just have to pass through several hands before they reach that point!

    Annual Passes and the Not So Frequent Visitor (What am I missing?)

    Same boat here - we live just under 6 hours from the parks (depending on traffic and how fast we drive) but not in FL and even with it being fairly drive-able (plus we now have a direct super cheap flight to Orlando) APs just don't make sense for us. If they come back with a good DVC option then...

    Galactic Starcruiser Sailing

    That surprises me! I asked about the suites when I paid for ours and was told that they were $3K per adult so a huge jump in price! At that time I considered myself lucky that the standard cabin was still available 😂 but I guess more people than I would have thought went for that upgrade! I was...

    Galactic Starcruiser Sailing

    Got my call this morning - I was told that they only had around 3 people working on this so it is probably taking them a while to get through everyone. I was also told that they will open up additional availability to people on the waitlist on the 31st

    Galactic Starcruiser Sailing

    that makes me feel better! I was quite a ways behind you (#205) but I think I successfully registered. Maybe they aren't starting calling until tomorrow

    Galactic Starcruiser Sailing

    Has anyone gotten the call for payment yet? I was originally number 205 in the queue, and like everyone else got the blank screen after putting in my member number. I refreshed and clicked "back" and resubmitted my number for about 3-5 minutes and then the blank screen went away and let me...

    Galactic Starcruiser Sailing

    Well, I am planning on joining the queue when it opens tomorrow - do we have any ideas on whether this is going to be a hard reservation? Cruises don't interest us so I've never tried for a DVC-only booking anywhere before

    Rank the DVC Resorts

    I guess we are pretty different in our rankings - fine by me - makes our rooms easier to get! 1. CCV - to be fair, our only stay here we were upgraded to a cabin so that definitely tips the scales, but even without that I just love Wilderness Lodge! 2. BLT - We love it. Sounds like a lot of...

    Closing Time!

    thanks! that is a relief - I've been low-key stressing about having to deal with multiple logins!

    Closing Time!

    Sorry if this has been asked before - I already have an account with a December UY membership, but we just bought another contract with a different UY. How does this work with accounts? Am I going to have to create a second Disney login (right now my DVC login is the same as for all the other...

    ADR's for 7-10 ppl

    When you called the number, were they able to see availability that wasn't showing up online? I am planning for a group of 11 and am super nervous about dining reservations (we like to book 3 TS meals a day)

    Wanted: Large Group Guidance

    I know it has been a few months- did anyone who posted here find the best way to do this? We are planning a trip for 11 (half of the group will be first-timers and there are 4 small children) - the largest I've ever planned for is 6 so I've never really had to compromise on where we ate so I'm...

    VGF Grand Villa and Beach Club 2 Bedrooms in July - how hard to book?

    That's good to know - the Beach Club part is the part I'm most worried about since if the 3 bedroom at Grand Floridian doesn't work out we can always just do two 2 bedrooms there (I don't feel like those typically book up very quickly) - just want this trip to be as perfect as possible for family!

    Multiple resorts on one trip

    The cash booking hasn't worked for me the last two times - I always get the "unable to complete" page, but if I call it works just fine - maybe that is what is going on with yours? We are in the process of adding on via resale, but I wanted the cash booking in case the rooms were gone by the...

    VGF Grand Villa and Beach Club 2 Bedrooms in July - how hard to book?

    Our home is VGF and we are in the process of buying a resale BCV contract with the hopes of doing a split stay mid-July (2024), so I'm just trying to get a sense of how likely this is to work or whether I need to have some good back-up plans. There will be 11 of us, so I was planning on doing...
