Got a couple of questions:

How do you make a DCL Reservation using your points? Do you call member services or DCL? I wasn't sure.

If I don't have enough points to book for everyone, do I have to pay the rest in full or just make a downpayment on their part?

Any help would be appreciated. I am thinking about booking the Halloween 2011 Cruise on the Dream. We had so much fun on our Halloween Cruise this year.

Thanks! :D ]]> Owning the Magic: Disney Vacation Club belleandmaddysmom http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/209105-disney-cruise-line-reservations.html Bay Lake Tower 2 Bedroom FloorPlan http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/209063-bay-lake-tower-2-bedroom-floorplan.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:58:07 GMT I'm a little confused. It seems that all the pictures I see (and videos I look at on You Tube), the 2 bedroom is set up differently. I know that you can have a dedicated 2 bedroom where you have 2 beds in the second room or you can have a 2 bedroom which is really a 1 bedroom with a studio attached. My question relates to the kitchen area. In some pictures of floorplans you see an island with stools and then in other pictures you just see an island. What is the difference? Are there more difference that that? I reserved a dedicated 2 bedroom for our stay so we would get the second bedroom with 2 beds. We all need our space LOL. ]]> Owning the Magic: Disney Vacation Club jenjen1127 http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/209063-bay-lake-tower-2-bedroom-floorplan.html Dining plans http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/209029-dining-plans.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:00:55 GMT Others can pay for dining plans before check in but DVCers cant correct?

So I want to know which resort to look into? As awesome as Bay Lake is, it's really not my style. I'd prefer Wilderness Villas but I'm pretty sure it's sold out. What other resorts would you recommend?

i'm sitting here trying to decide if I want to book a cruise for 2011 on the Dream, and if so if we want to use our points for a few nights at Vero Beach prior-to, or what. SO, I guess I need to know what all is there!

Right now my little boys 3.5 and 1.5 love Disney and will for some time I would guess. What about the teen years later. Do they tend to hang onto that enjoyment of the Mouse when they are older and hanging with mom and dad is not as cool? I do not want to plan on a yearly Disney trip that turns into a battle to get the kids onboard.

While my boys are little having the extra space etc that we could gain with DVC would be great but I worry about the lack of maid service as they often make messes that require extra towels and/or daily vacuuming. Is there a vacuum available to use? What about laundry facilities?

I know you can use points toward cruises. Can you "pay" for part of the cruise with points and the rest with the usual kind of funds? So if I wanted to upgrade to a bigger room and not have to pay as much for it?

Have anyone seen the villas in Grand California yet?

Did I read somewhere that they are building a resort in Hawaii?

Is it truly easy to visit other resorts aside from your home? I love the idea of visiting many of the resorts in WDW.

I am sure I will come up with a few more but this is already too many I am sure.

Parking Changes at BoardWalk

Written by Tim Krasniewski | November 02, 2009


With the elimination of complimentary valet parking for Disney Vacation Club members, one issue that occasionally arises is overcrowding of the Self Parking lots. Disney's BoardWalk Inn and Villas is attempting to address this by rerouting resort traffic during high demand periods.

Below is an overhead view of the three BoardWalk parking lots--one is reserved for use by valet parkers and guests with handicapped permits, while the other two are available to resort guests and others visiting the area. The lot outlined in BLUE is closest to the resort itself and most frequently used by visitors. Vehicles would typically enter the blue lot at the location of the GREEN dot and exit at the YELLOW dot.
During high-demand periods--particularly on weekends--the resort is being more particularly about where visitors are permitted to park. Signs located on Epcot Resorts Boulevard--visible before guests even approach the Resort Entrance (guard shack)--clearly state that the blue lot is accessible ONLY to registered guests at the BoardWalk Inn or Villas. Proof of a confirmed reservation must be provided before vehicles will be permitted to enter at this point.
Additionally, the usual entrance to the blue lot (green dot) is being barricaded (see photo.) Both incoming and outgoing traffic is being re-routed to the yellow dot. The yellow entrance is then staffed by a member of the security staff who again verifies that the guest is staying at the BoardWalk (room key or parking permit) before allowing the guest to enter the blue lot.
Other resort traffic is being routed directly to the RED lot on the other side of Epcot Resorts Blvd. This traffic would include guests with dining reservations at the BoardWalk, guests who wish to visit the BoardWalk shops, etc. Availability of this lot is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. Security personnel are also posted at the red and ORANGE (valet) lots to ensure guests are adhering to current policies.
As stated, this procedure is only being implemented during high-demand periods when the resort expects demand for the blue lot to exceed capacity. When this process is in place, signs are clearly posted on Epcot Resorts Blvd on approach to the resort. During lower-demand periods the blue lot is available to visitors not staying at the BoardWalk and the green entrance point is open for traffic. ]]> Owning the Magic: Disney Vacation Club jenjen1127 http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/208011-parking-changes-boardwalk-announced.html DVC warns Against Fraudulent Contact http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/208009-dvc-warns-against-fraudulent-contact.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:11:29 GMT I found this important info on the DVCNews.com website this morning.

DVC Warns Against Fraudulent Contact

Written by Tim Krasniewski | November 02, 2009


Disney Vacation Club is cautioning members regarding a potential scam in which members are being contacted by individuals purporting to be DVC representatives. Members are advised to withhold providing any personal or financial information until they have verified the identity of the caller. Details follow.
Fraudulent Letter/Phone Call Advisory

Members who receive a letter stating that they've won a "Travel Passport Cash Giveaway," should be aware that this is a fraudulent letter.
In addition, Members may receive an unsolicited call from someone who purports to be a Disney Vacation Club Cast Member. Members who receive this letter or receive an unsolicited phone call should report the letter or phone call to their State Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission.

Just like they say, in a few years the vacation club more than pays for itself. In fact, if I have just 3 years at BLT like this - it pays for itself.

Dates have been set for the 2009 edition of the holiday-themed Merry Member Mixer parties held outside Epcot's International Gateway.
The Mixers will be held on the first four Thursdays in the month of December. The exact dates are:
December 3
December 10
December 17
December 24
Complete details will be released closer to the event dates. In the past, the Mixers have been held just outside of the Epcot International Gateway between the hours of 3-5pm. Disney Vacation Club members and their guests are invited to attend. The events typically include holiday music, treats, character meet opportunities and a special holiday gift for members.

If you go, have fun.

The first night was just dh, ds and myself so we had a standard studio but requested a partial park/water view and even gave room numbers that I found on the disboards. We ended up with a 4th floor room, on the balcony if we looked to the left we could see Space Mountain and the top of the castle, almost straight ahead were the tennis courts and off to the right was the water. It was a decent view for standard points. We were dissapointed with the size of the studio, even with only being two adults and a toddler, we felt really closed in. We did not like the setup at all, how the bathroom sink and the kitchenette are in the same nook opposite each other. It felt really strange to me, to spritz my hair with spray and know that I was more than likely also spritzing the microwave!! We checked out of that studio the next morning telling each other that we did not think we could stay in one at BLT ever again. I honestly don't know how 4 guests plus 1 child in a crib could ever stay in that room. A room at All Star would have been bigger.

We then moved into a dedicated 2 bedroom villa with mk view. We had done online check in for both rooms which turned out to be a great thing. Our villa was not ready yet so since we had freshed up in the studio and sent our bags down to holding, we went over to MK for a while and had our early dinner at Tony's. I received a text that our room was ready at 12:45 PM with our room number. We requested highest floor and were granted the 12th floor which is the last floor of 2 bedroom villas before the grand villas. We entered our new room and headed straight for the wall-to-wall window in the living room to find that we had an amazing panoramic view of MK. Honestly I have to say that the view almost brought tears to my eyes, especially after my 18 month old saw the monorail go by while yelling TRUCK with his face pressed to the glass! I don't think there are words to describe how happy we were with this room, it truly was amazing. Both bedrooms were spacious, the 3rd bathroom was a huge bonus especially when we had 2 more guests stay with us for a few nights. The beds were very comfy and the comforters were so soft (just like the contemporary). We happnened to be in the room on two different nights when the Hallo-wishes took place and to see those fireworks stretch across the sky from one end of MK to the other was breathtaking.

We did ask about the size of the studio and were told that BLT has the smallest studio's out of all of the vacation club resorts. Least amount of square feet. I honestly think if they didn't box off the kitchenette and vanity, the room would feel bigger but it was like it was divided into 3 small sections. The DVC rep told us that OKW has the largest of the rooms since it was the first resort built.

We had no complaints with the 2 bedroom villa. We did have to call about the bathtub not draining properly, they had someone there later that day to fix it, there was a chunk of something in the drain from when the place was built! Funny that no one complained about the draining before us! The tub would literally fill up around your feet if you took a shower. We also had to call for toilet paper and paper towels because after the 6th night we were running out. They did trash and towel service on the 4th day.

The pool area is very nice and we even got to try out the baci ball court. The tangerine dream from the cove pool bar was yummy!

One suggestion is that if you are going to stay at BLT or the Contemporary and enjoy being able to stroll on over to MK for a dessert or "late night" snack, plan your vacation around MNSSHP and MVMCP. We found that there were really only about 3 nights during our stay when MK was open later for regular guests. We opted not to do the party since ds is only 18 months, but we have always enjoyed being able to walk over to MK for a snack, hot dog or to jump on 1 or 2 rides and we were unable to do that. It sort of stinks when you are staying right there but park hours are limited.

I have to say that we have been told the Bay Lake view is very nice and would be more than willing to try it to save on points, but once you stay with MK view, it is very hard to settle for anything else!! ]]> Owning the Magic: Disney Vacation Club poohbr2015 http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/207644-just-returned-blt.html Good News for DVC Members on DDP http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/207640-good-news-dvc-members-ddp.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:17:20 GMT I found this great news on DVCNews.com - In 2010 Disney will introduce tiered seasonal pricing for the *Disney Dining Plan*.

And we really did enjoy the resort. But I just know DVC would give us so many more options. Also, my DH is the type who likes to use the health club facilities, and has always been disappointed that he could not do this at either of the resorts we have stayed in...so that could be another selling point.

We weren't expecting to hear anything until next week, as our rep said that recently Disney had been taking almost the full 30 days. So it was a nice surprise to find that in my email tonight!

He seemed very nice and we were ready to sign a contract but then...he couldn't provide us with a contract (not even a sample one to look at!). He said we would have to trek over to Saratoga Springs or they could to send it to us at home. Since we were on vacation and wanted to spend as much time as we could with the kids in the park, we opted to have them send it to us. Now it's more than a week later and still no contract.

Any suggestions? ]]> Owning the Magic: Disney Vacation Club alylike tink http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/owning-magic-disney-vacation-club/207293-problem-buying-blt.html
