    Yacht/Beach Club/ Disney Bus System almost caused a brawl

    Thank you for your viewpoint as a former WDW bus driver. I never blame the driver, but, as you said, this has been my experience for YEARS at Beach Club. Long waits then the bus only fits a few from BC after stopping at YC. Do you think the busses are mismanaged? Don’t have enough drivers or...

    Timeshare Pitch from DVC Records

    I received one of the calls being reported where they wanted me to come to some presentation my area. Said they weren’t selling time shares but some people use theirs, don’t use theirs, or want to use them more efficiently. I asked what time share were they referring to in calling me and they...

    Offer Accepted - 1st Post

    Excited for you! Being a DVC owner will change you! It’s especially great to plan a trip when you already have an annual pass..... No hotel room bill, and no ticket purchase! (And you’ll likely want more and more points! Fortunately, you can add on a little at a time as you can afford it!)...

    Amassing small point contracts - what are the downsides?

    We have six contracts and the largest is $100 points. We have several 50 point contracts. You do pay more closing costs in the end and if you ever wanted to add someone to the deed you would have higher legal fees. You also pay more per point in resale when you amass small-point contracts. But...

    Split Stay

    One more thing about a split stay.... There is that whole “homeless” feeling on moving day. If you’re someone who likes to take a break from the parks during the heat of midday, you may not have a room to go to. Need to be OK with relaxing at the pool, since your room may not be ready until...

    Just to make sure I understand about buying a Gold Pass with DVC...

    You can’t just go to the turnstyle. You have to activate your pass.

    Which would you choose - monorail or bus?

    I agree with the others. Since you will be in Future World for breakfast, monorail will be your best bet to get to MK. If you were going to MK straight from Beach Club, then bus is best as it’s a really long walk to monorail.

    Your personal use year complications

    I could see use year messing you up if you booked a trip close to the end of it and you had to cancel your trip. We chose October use year because normally we travel between October 1 and May 1. So, if we have to cancel a trip, we have time to rebook.

    Your personal use year complications

    Only issue we had was when we bought a resale contract that didn’t settle until very late August and we have an October use year. A smallish number of points were banked from the prior year so we only had 4 weeks to use them or lose them. We were able to get 3 nights at Vero Beach for late...

    And they close for rehab in August — not sure when you are visiting.

    Yet another borrowing example question

    Always think, “In which use year is the trip I am planning?” For the trip you mention, it is in your 2020 use year. So yes, you have current year points available (2020) plus any you bank from 2019, and any you borrow from 2021.

    DVC Show - The DIS

    So many people don’t understand how to use their points when they book a trip. Recently, someone thought they had to wait until Sept 1 to book their December trip because that’s when they got their 2019 points! Many of us jumped on this person to tell them to book NOW! would be good to tell...

    Adding more Points... Resale or thru Disney

    We have done both when buying a small contract. Price difference is there but not as significant with a small contract. Small contracts can be found resale but CC is new and there may not be much out there that exactly suits your needs. Just a note...when you buy direct, the points are in your...

    Late night vs. Rope drop

    I know it’s extra cost, but we are treating ourselves on our upcoming trip to Early Morning Magic at HS (Toy Story Land). Admittance at 7am, rides from 7:30 - 9am then access to the included all you can eat breakfast until 10am. Skipping the stress of an overcrowded TSL, the difficulty getting...

    Hollywood or Epcot

    If you are talking about the blockout dates in April, I would choose Epcot. Flower & Garden is beautiful and interesting food/drink kiosks.

    Arrival Day Meal ?

    Unless you plan to go into a park, a Disney Springs Restaurant is a good choice. Take the boat to get there from POR
