Congrats Tinkerbella.!! I think you will love it. We joined only two years ago and have grown to love it in a short time. Is SSR your home?? It's ours. Hey, we'd be neighbors!!

Remember to make your reservation at your home resort as close as possible at the 11 month mark. That way you are set. If you want to really stay at another DVC property, you can check at the 7 month mark and try to switch!!

Welcome Home!

Re: New DVC member

Welcome Home! (You have no idea how great it is to hear that when you check in)Congratulations! We became members in 2000 and it was one of the best (and most fun) decisions we've ever made. Hope you have many great vacations! My only word of advice is to make sure you keep track of your "year", so you remember when to bank or use your points. You don't want to lose a precious one! And relax and enjoy!

Re: New DVC member

Our home resort is SSR

We haven't even seen the resort yet, but my parents were there last week and toured it and they loved it.

Re: New DVC member

Congrats! We have been members since 1996 at OKW. Well, that is what our card says, so I am sticking with it. I have stayed at all of the DVC resorts except for Saratoga Springs. We wanted to stay there last trip, but missed the opening by a week. I will be going to Hilton Head in 2 weeks for my second trip there.

We usually book our home resort 11 months out, and then as Skwak said, we call 7 months out if we want to move. Our kids love trying the other resorts. Also, don't forget the pool hopping, the Annual Pass discount and the Disney Dining Experience.

Re: New DVC member

Anyone ever transfer points outside the park? I love Disney but we would like to go to Sanibel Fla. and they tell me its really hard to get a reservation.
Will me be visiting Disney most of the time but is nice to know we get to options I just hope it isn't impossible. I got the feeling that Sanibel will be impossible. From what I understand I get put on a waiting list but I am not sure what my chances will be. They are still setting me up on the system so I can't reserve the World collection as of yet but as soon as its complete I will get on the waiting list for next year(fingers crossed.)

Re: New DVC member

Welcome Home Neighbor. We are also DVC members and stayed there in Oct. 2004 and I really liked it. It was the first time we stayed at any DVC resort. This time when we go at Christmas, I asked if we can stay at Wilderness Lodge. I want to check out all the resorts at Christmas. DVC members are the coolest neighbors.

Re: New DVC member

Congrats!! We were thinking of doing it this year, but we may need to sink big $$$ into septic problems...what a waste, for the same price to be DVC members, I get a new septic tank..sooo sad
