    Purchased resale then direct still showing DVC ND

    Someone recently had the same question. It took a few days for the DVC-Y to appear but I can’t remember whether it was a week or actually after the 10-day rescission period expired.

    Fort Wilderness Cabins Cannot Stave Off Slow March 2024 Direct Sales

    The ironic thing is that the bathroom was between the living area and the bedroom in the cabins that are currently being removed. They moved it to allow them to reposition the queen and bunk beds.

    UK Resident - Purchasing DVC Questions - Help Needed

    Many DVC members stay away in summer if they can, due to heat and humidity. It also was originally one of the more expensive seasons, and DVC members are notoriously frugal with their points. That’s why studios are more popular than 1BR, since the sleeping capacity of studios is the same or even...

    Nielsen rating offer

    We too were a Nielsen family for a couple of years, some years back, and had the tracking devices you describe. I think we earned a couple of hundred dollars? Can't remember, but we were glad to be finished when our term was up!

    Sanaa early seating?

    I thought we had to cancel 2 hours before, in order to avoid the $10pp no-show penalty. Did it change?

    I'm looking forward to this. I think of him as someone very like Walt Disney, and I miss him the same as I miss Walt.

    The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Owners & Lovers Group - 2.0

    Yes, I think cleaning between guests is the issue. Over the years I’ve read some reports here that were quite disgusting.

    Beach Club Villas to Disney's Hollywood Studios Question

    Be sure to walk to the Yacht & Beach boat dock, don’t backtrack to the IG boat dock even though it’s a shorter walk from BCV. The boat goes from IG to BW and then to Yacht & Beach, and catching the boat at IG adds at least 10 minutes to the ride, maybe more depending on how long it takes to load...

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

    When DVC developed the points charts for the original DVC (OKW) it appears they valued villas based on square footage - 1BR are twice as large as studios, so they cost twice as many points. And remember, originally both studios and 1BR slept the same number of guests, 4. I don’t think any...

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

    The “war” against the original 2020 points charts was fought because they tried to reallocate points across villa sizes. Even though in that case they were increasing studios and 1BR and decreasing 2BR, the issue is the same, and I agree with many who say that it’s not legal under the rules and...

    Uber/lyft from offsite hotel to Disney- experiences?

    Dropoff for MK is at TTC, right next to the monorail and ferry, so more convenient than driving yourself because you don’t have to ride the tram or walk through the parking lot to the TTC. At the other parks, rideshare dropoff is relatively close to the entrance, and always a shorter walk than...

    Boardwalk renovation

    The rooms on the Inn (hotel) side has been finished for some time. The rooms on the Villas (DVC) side were supposed to be done by now, but aren’t yet. The lobby is done.

    Disney’s Magic Band FAQ Link

    Is there a difference between linking to MDE and linking to a phone in order to play games or make statues talk?

    The Cabins at Fort Wilderness

    This is the first new DVC resort since VDH, so who knows? Poly tower should be next, and I’ll bet lots of people will be online well before 8 the morning those bookings open up, as a result of these reports!

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Thank you! And I’m sorry, I should have known to look at the main page before asking. I’m still getting familiar with the wealth of information there.

    Do the boats between MK and GF/Poly accommodate scooters and wheelchairs now?

    Thanks for that information! On Google Maps I had to do a little digging to find a 407-xxx-xxxx phone number for GF. If I call that number from my home in Texas, will I get someone on property?

    Updated Disney Gift Card Deals and More

    Does anyone remember what time the last similar sale opened? Was it midnight the night before (i.e., in this case midnight May 2)? Eastern time? Just trying to plan!

    Do the boats between MK and GF/Poly accommodate scooters and wheelchairs now?

    Thanks. I appreciate and trust your report from asking in person at VGF. Unfortunately, calling “the front desk of VGF” would get me in touch with someone in a call center somewhere, and their answers are unreliable.
