    Ever been diagnosed with addonitis?

    I've had it 3 times, each time it was cured by the traditional method. My last infection was in 1996, and since then I have been addonitis free.

    Saratoga Springs or Old Key West Deluxe Studio

    They used to have a small mirror over the kitchenette sink. I don;t know why they removed it during the last refurbishment. It was great for shaving while someone else was in the bathroom It was a practical alternative to having a separate vanity.

    Saratoga Springs or Old Key West Deluxe Studio

    My Mom and I stayed in an OKW studio fairly often. They CAN be noisy, but that will certainly vary depending upon who is in the connected one bedroom. Most of the time, for us, they were fine. We were both early risers, and we heard a young child playing next door, then the OKW Nes sheet they...

    Do you tell your friends/family you own DVC or keep it private?

    Most everyone knows I own DVC, they always ask how I can afford to go to Disney twice a year. For a long time I thought I was the only person in town that was a DVC member (our city is about 30,000) but I now know of at least two more. One of them is the secretary of my CPA, which I just found...

    VDH (Villas at Disneyland Hotel) DVC View From The Room Thread

    I think there is a doorbell button that triggers a flashing light if someone is at the door.

    DING, Ding, Ding...we have a winner. I have the same policy. There have, over the years, been one person, and one group, on my do not invite again list. One was a distant cousin, who has since passed away. The other is a family of friends who went twice previously, but cancelled the third...

    OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

    I believe the pull out chair is considered the same size as a Single bed mattress. I'm 65, and about 250 lbs. I fiind the chair much more comfortable than the sofa bed. As far as I know there are already sheets on it, and there are pillows and blankets in the master bedroom closet. As far as...

    Rejected Offers Thread

    Well, I did sign the quit claim, because I'll be 83 upon expiration. I just hope I live long enough, and I'm healthy enough to enjoy it until then, since males generally tend to have health issuus or die off before then. Now, if I had descendents and family that I know would've wanted it, I...

    Q for anyone who has stayed at the Boulder Ridge Villas

    Have not stayed there, bit I have dined at the main lodge building, and even that was a pretty decent hike from the boat dock. If that would wear her out, what about all day in the parks? Have you considered a wheelchaor or scooter rental. My Mom, after breaking her hip, did fine at home, and...

    OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

    I doubt very seriously they will move the furniture around at all. Especially before arrival, as rooms can be re-assigned before you arrive. And with the King bed, I doubt the sleeper chair could be opened safely/comfortably in the master bedroom. If a child HAS to sleep in your room, and...

    OKW Lovers Thread. Part 2

    That chair is quite heavy. It would be very difficult and could easily destroy the vinyl plank flooring. Please don't try to do it. The gurgling suitcase is the resort's bar/lounge.

    Does anyone remember these?

    Blast from the Past. Also remember the 3 ring binder, and they'd send out updates to add to it?

    Anyone else having problems with My Disney Experience app in trying to add DVC card to wallet?

    I had issues years ago when the chab=nge to digital card was first made. My name on the DVC Website was Charles (my legal name) and the MDE App was Chuck. I had to change the MDE app to exactly match the name as listed on the DVC site to properly link them and add the digital card.

    OKW - staying in 1 bedroom but upgrading to 2 for part of stay

    It will be tough to fill your request to be near each other for just one night. I hope it works out for you. The pronlem is, a resort doesn't work like a cruise ship where everyone arrives and leaves at the same time. It is like a jigsaw puzzle fitting everyone in. It is best to either book a...

    Yes, I hate those blinds, too. I wish they'd go back to the wooden Venitian blinds they used to have. Love the resort, hate the blinds.

    Invited My Wife's Brother and His Family and... Crickets

    DIsney and DVC...you either "get it" or you don't. Those that don't probably never will, and it is best to just use your points for yourselves (and your parents if they want to go, since they live nearby). OR you could book a 2 bedroom for you and your parents, and book a studio for your...

    We'll see where it goes. It may just die off on its own.

    Confirmed Rumor: Disney Vacation Club to Start Giving $200 Gift Card to Resort Guests Who Tour Property

    Well, assuming the $200 gift card thing is accurate, and will hopefully be in effect next February, I'll pass the word along to an older friend that is travelking with me then. She was planning on doing just one park day, and was going to spend time visiting the different resorts anyway, while...

    Shareholder Proposal for Disney to Spin Off Real Estate into REIT (& Star Wars)

    Just a reminder, now that the voting is over...we do need to try to return to topic to how the vote impacted DVC, as these are the DVC Boards. You are free to discuss things like "What woulld happened if Disney did had sold off the real estate/resort division?" or "How would DVC be affected if...

    Shareholder Proposal for Disney to Spin Off Real Estate into REIT (& Star Wars)

    Membership Extras? If you're referring to discounts and such, I think "blue card" DVC owners will continue to see exactly the same perks as Annual Passholders. And those of us who are longtime owners remember a time when any discounts were few and far between. I think Josh D'Amaro would be a...
