    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    Is anyone else stalking the registration page to see if anything opens up? I know there are automated ways to be notified, but I prefer to also occasionally check the source. My husband somehow forgot to register on Tuesday. 😲

    Having two home resorts

    We have pretty close to what you are looking at - 102 points at PVB (direct) and 100 at VGF (resale). As others suggested, I think 50 at Poly will feel light, especially if you want to go every other year as proposed. We have felt our mix really works out well. Enough on each (on alternating...

    Princess Weekend 2024!

    Rookie question - if my travel companion gets in before me, can she register us both? Or is there a limit?

    TOTWL Question

    Thanks so much all. Super helpful. I don't love the idea of re-arranging the reservations at this point (kind of worried it will mess something up after all this effort and really want my magic band to work for my room), so we may just plan to go the night we arrive, before any of our friends...

    TOTWL Question

    Hi all. We are booked in a couple weeks at VGF in two separate units. 8 of us (including the blue card members) are staying in a two bedroom and 2 of us (non DVC) are staying in a resort studio. All are booked on the same membership, but technically it is not "the same reservation" because we...

    Wine and Dine 2022 5K goals?

    Doing our first Disney race in quite a few years in 3 weeks at Wine and Dine. After doing nothing but sitting at a computer eating Oreos and drinking wine during COVID, easing back in with a family 5K. DH will also run the 10K. Realizing that over the years my time goals, while never aggressive...

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2022 (Nov. 3-6, 2022)

    I continue to stalk fruitlessly for more 5k openings for our friends and can’t help but notice that the two course challenge is still available. I presume that if this persists for some time that they might eventually break up the packages and free up some 10k and half availability?

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2022 (Nov. 3-6, 2022)

    Got our family of three in for the 5K. Second Disney 5K for the 10 year old! Sadly our friends that we are traveling with got locked out right at the end of registration. Will stalk and hope that more get released.

    So, did the Poly announcement throw a curveball into your VGF (or other DVC) plans?

    Was thinking about a small add on at VGF, where we already have a resale contract. Mentioned to DH today that now I wasn’t so sure given the Poly announcement, as that is our other home resort (direct) and I would prefer it, especially if there are more room type options. His reply: “then do...

    How many points are you buying at VGF2?

    To agree with an earlier poster, 0 should be a stand alone option in this poll. A choice to buy 0 (not buy) is immensely different than a choice to buy 50 (the minimum size). And if I am correct that the minimum purchase size is 50, then 1-49 aren’t really options, so that category is conveying...

    NEW VGF Building

    Could not agree more with the “just put a fridge in it” comments. Seriously, why not?

    NEW VGF Building

    Is anyone else worried that the MF fees are going way up in the next few years? Adding new DVC capacity (with five fitting in a room) shifts more common costs to DVC owners and away from Disney. If the goal is to restore the hotel to its former glory and compete with the Four Seasons, that could...

    NEW VGF Building

    On the one hand, I’m excited about this because we just bought VGF resale and I was planning to add on direct. This will likely be better pricing for that add on. On the other hand, it means a lot more points and no more one bed, two bed and GV units. Since our other home resort is Poly, we had...

    Where do you think DVC resale prices are headed?

    Agree. This is fully a question of magnitude, not direction.

    Where do you think DVC resale prices are headed?

    The 2008 “bailouts” were generally in the form of loans, paid back in full with interest. One can hope this time plays out in the same way. However, we don’t yet know how deeply this will impact people or what the recovery will look like. It is difficult to know if comparisons to prior events...
