Team Resale all the way. Not everyone can afford to buy direct from Disney. If it wasn't for the Resale Market, my dream of owning DVC would never have come true.

Honey wake up! DVC Fan just dropped a new video. (sips coffee)

22:34 Full disclosure, my family would never consider ourselves foodies, so we eat whenever and wherever it is convenient. This last trip, our best dining experience (BY FAR!) was at Turf Club. Food was great, ambiance on the patio was relaxing, prices weren't bad. Saratoga Spring and Turf Club both get a bad rap, but I would definitely dine there again.

Just got back yesterday from a stay in the Contemporary Garden Wing-resort view. My Mom and I LOVED it! It was soooo quiet and location was great. Getting outside and onto the MK path was quick and easy. Would love to see those converted!

If there were a Disney Cruise porting out of CA (near Disneyland) that cruised to Hawaii/Aulani I would totally book that cruise! and if the cruise continued to the Tokyo Disneyland, etc ... that would be an amazing Adventure by Disney! Just sayin' ... 😁 Your thoughts appreciated.

It is a delight to listen to this video. You are both extremely knowledgeable about WDW and DVC-specifc topics and offer sage advice.
I have seriously thought about why is it ever good to have contracts with different use years. i think you can have a different use strategy when the properties are completely different and you use the points differently.

for example i think a February use year is optimal for summer beach use-like Hilton head.
and since i go to WDW in Nov-March, then the optimal use year is October. So i would prefer different use year for HHI contracts than for any WDW theme park area contracts.

Funny, Treehouse is one of the places where I was thinking if Hubby lets me/us get DVC, it would be a good place to be. He is not a big park person, so the concept is for me to take kiddos to parks for early entry, come back after lunch for quiet time, nap time. Then family dinner somewhere. Also the resort allows fishing, and has fishing excursions for a fee, so send hubby off on one of those. That said, the home resort would be Animal Kingdom, savannah view. Both are essentially Disney, but a bit removed from main Disney.

We booked a treehouse villa for Thanksgiving through DVC rental store, so that’s at least one! 😂

21:00 you talk about going to new places but staying DVC. My family went to Peppa Pig Land one day for a little get away. It was so cute and our daughter loved it. It’s fun to stay DVC but escape the bubble. Definitely more info would be welcomed.

You look great, Paul is a lucky guy.😊😊. Disney is going to stop all new hotel rooms after Poly unless attendance rebounds.

Regarding having 2 different use-years, I think it’s helpful to potentially avoid being in a situation where you have “use or lose” points for a reservation. Our June use-year points have to be banked by Jan 31, so we also have a March use-year that can be used from March-May with less risk of losing points if a reservation needs to be canceled or rescheduled.

We LOVED the treehouses when we stayed there.

Split stay with little kids is fine. We just make sure to have at least 3 days at a place and limit to one transfer now. We love having family in New areas with different plans. It breaks up the trip. Something to look forward to halfway thru.

Helpful and fun info as always - thanks for educating us - even those of us who have owned longer than you have - we still need to know what's going on! 🙂

Skyliner, please add that for these hotels. The first time we stayed on the property was at Yacht Club (it was the cheapest deluxe hotel). The experience of being on the property was a game-changer! We had seen the DVC Direct Booth in EPCOT and, I think, in MK. But once we stayed, we became hooked and knew we would buy in. We started with buying direct and wanted to buy BEACH CLUB ONLY. They had to wait for a contract to buy from "the resale market" to sell directly to us, and that is how we found DVC Resale. In real-time, we could compare and see we were saving so much $$$$ buying DVC RESALE that it was a no-brainer.

It‘s not surprising that the same or similar skyliner models are found in so many European places, considering that the manufacturer, Doppelmayr is an Austrian company and industry market leader.

Fly non stop out of Boston it’s a long flight but easy to do. We go 8;Or 9 days every other year.

GM,
Enjoy your show and you guys are a Great team! One question is, As resale DVC members, Are allowed to to some members only events? Are they very strict on allowing resale members participate in such events?

Good morning, the hair is all good. And the matching glasses are cool
