Here's why there are limited housekeeping services for points stays at DVC resorts:

Since DVC is a timeshare, the owners at each resort pay all of the operational costs of that resort. Those costs...

The DVC rental agencies don't generally rent out existing reservations, so there aren't any listings. They function as brokers, matching up owners with people who want to rent DVC accommodations.

I would stick to the resorts mentioned in that e-mail. With the exception of the Boardwalk, or some of the resorts that are more like a subdivision like OKW and SSR, it's pretty rare to see guests on...

You can rent club level at AKV, but your chances of actually getting one are slim to none. There are only a few club level DVC rooms, and they're gone within a couple minutes of the 11-month window...

Yes. If you want two rooms with an internal connecting door, so that you don't have to go out into the corridor to go between rooms, be sure to ask for connecting rooms.

Adjoining has a different...

Sorry, that's not the case. It's purely a numbers game. Pool hopping was allowed at WDW when there was only one category of resort, and all the pools were roughly similar in terms of slides and other...

IMO, the DVC studios were designed for singles or couples. Are there sleeping spaces for 4 people? Yes. Is it comfortable for 4? Again, in my opinion, no.

The thing to remember about the...

There's only one I know of that still takes faxes, they were a colossal pain in the neck for the resort staff. At any rate, it's still better to call in your requests. At least that way you know...

Is the commercial service you used to rent points refusing to pass your requests along to the member? It's really not a problem for the member who made the reservation to add requests, I believe...

The Yacht and Beach Club main pool has the most restricted access of any resort pool on property. It's gated, and each person entering the pool area needs a magic band showing that they're a...

People often use the terms 'adjoining' and 'connecting' interchangeably......

If you want adjoining rooms (rooms that are near each other), your chances are very good.

If you want connecting...

If you're still within your recission period, you may want to consider canceling your purchase.

Read the POS that you signed, carefully. You'll find nothing about exclusivity, feeling special,...

Yes, villas only. The studio villa is closest to a standard hotel room, it has one queen bed, a sofabed, and a kitchenette with microwave, fridge, toaster, coffeemaker and a small sink.

It will...

Any DVC resort can be booked by a member of the general public, subject to availability, of course. If you didn't see BLT as a bookable option, there was probably no availability for your dates.
...

I doubt very much if you'd be able to rent a cabana at a resort other than your own, since you wouldn't be permitted to use the pool unless you were a guest of that resort.

As for the...

But there's a big difference between a natural substance like dust, and choosing to bring chemicals to spray in a room that you do not own, with no thought given to others whose vacation may be...

Oh, for pete's sake, don't tell her the guy lied to her. Why even assume that? I hardly think that he gets his jollies setting up little girls to be disappointed, then slinks away rubbing his hands...

If you're wanting to pay to upgrade your room, I'd just book the upgrade now. Availability may be limited to non-existent for the room type you want by the day of check-in , and you may lose any...

There's no shade at the pool that I can recall, and I've stayed there in September many times.

But even if the entire pool were shaded, it wouldn't be too cool to swim. September really isn't...

Yes, but you didn't purchase the perks. If you take a look at your contract, you'll find that they very explicitly state that perks are NOT part of your vacation club ownership. If I remember...

No, there's no place to enter a request on the online check-in form. The best way to make a request is to call 407-WDISNEY and have it added to your reservation.

Disney's process for handling room requests is to have the request noted on your reservation. You can add requests by calling 407-WDISNEY.

Calling the published number for ASMu won't do anything...

Nobody really offers free internet access. They either charge you separately (as Disney does) or bury in the room rate as some Marriotts, etc, do.

It's a utility that it costs the hotel...

It's not a difference in the plug, DVDs are created in different formats, depending on the part of the world they're to be sold in. DVDs sold in the US and Canada are in Region 1 format, DVDs sold...

The Disney resorts all have the same TV channels, no dedicated music video channels and no pay channels.

The Swan and Dolphin have a somewhat better channel selection, but it looks like they don't...
