    Booking Availability question

    Easiest: OKW, Saratoga, AKV Realistically, it also depends on room size and season. A Poly studio isn't too hard most of the year but can be tough in Fall Frenzy. AKV Club is walking and home resort. BLT Standard and BWV Standard are home resort only with walking in some seasons. VGC is the...

    Brand new! Just bought DVC... now what?

    They will only do that if your trip is within 7 months, and it's more common for the inventory to pull from RIV or the Cabins now due to cash availability. They will not override home resort for a first booking.

    Family of 5… rent DVC?

    With a family of 5, you would need a studio at Boulder Ridge, or a 2BR at Copper Creek. Copper Creek has a hard limit of 4 guests in both the studio and 1BR. The BRV 1BR will accommodate 5 but lacks a bed for the 5th guest.

    Just to emphasize in case you are within a period to cancel, the only DVC units in which you may bring your dogs is Ft. Wilderness. Dogs are against the DVC site rules in contract.

    Late Oct stay at BLT, chance of being moved?

    Could be as late as when you show up. DVC is notoriously inconsistent.

    Dual stay post!

    No. You will need to book it as two 5-night stays and modify one of them. You cannot split up a 10 night stay with a modify.

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    I don't actually think that's true at all. You're assuming everyone does lots of research or is a repeat cruiser on DCL who has been to Palo before.

    Skipping mousekeeping

    DVC get daily security checks, yes. Independent of actual mousekeeping.

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    Enforcement of a dress code by tipped employees is a big issue. A cruise ship is fundamentally a closed environment, so if they turn away booked guests, walk-ups to replace them may not occur. Or, the guests return in new clothing, but are angry so they don't tip. That's the real underlying...

    Renting DVC at the last minute

    The cash booking pool is separate from what we can book on points. Generally speaking, a cash and points booking cannot be linked. You may see a last minute confirmed reservation, but we are within a period where openings will be rare. At 30 days, owners who cancel have their points go into...

    Current owners: Do you feel that renters are impacting resort availability?

    Arguably, 20 years ago is a whole different game even for home resort, because the prevalence of online booking wasn't there.

    Does anyone have Disney's All star music resort phone number for front desk?

    Towels: Call housekeeping. Room issue: Go to front desk in person, unless it qualifies as housekeeping. Billing: Go to front desk. Cruise transpo: go to front desk, although those get dropped at your room anyway. Things like towels and bathmats are best done directly with housekeeping. There...

    All of the studios have the same amenities. Standard and Preferred are location, not amenity or even view.
