Hi all! I just found out about this site from mousesavers.com. After reading through that site I was telling my husband that I wish there was a site like that for DVC members and then I did a search and found this site! It's great to have people to share advice and tips with.
We joined in April 2005 after going to a timeshare appointment at the Wyndham resorts just because they were giving out $100 to go. We never thought of buying a timeshare before, but after going, we were interested. We didn't like the idea of having to buy that day, so we took our $100 and ran. Good thing we did! I have been going to WDW every spring break for 8 years and never noticed the "secret" kiosks at downtown disney until the Wyndham incident. We wanted the free fastpasses Disney was passing out to go, so we went. What a great program! I love the points. It makes planning exciting and challenging. I always try to get the most nights with my points.
We have been wanting to try a cruise so we just booked the 3 night cruise on Jan 4th. It worked out for our Christmas vacation time and was the best time for the least amount of points! I am so excited! I found great infromation and tips at mousesavers.com and I like the idea I read here about renting my points out next time and booking my own cruise with cash for a better value. Renting a car to get to the port instead of using Disney buses was also a money saving tip. Instead of paying the $180 for the price of 3 to use the bus service, we are renting a car for $84. I never would have thought about that on my own.
I am so excited to find this site. I am looking forward to more great advice and tips from all of you. Thanks!
