Yes, we called housekeeping and they came to clean the room once more. Still, should not have come to that in the first place. The year prior we had to switch rooms outright since it was clear that a party was thrown in the room as wine was all over the couch, the room stank and dirty...

Our experience back in January was similar to yours MrsInsG. We love Riviera Resort but our 2 bdrm room was fairly abused by careless guests. All of the tables and chairs were dinged up and the bottoms of the kitchen base cabinets were literally shredded by something, although I can't think...

Love the Poly and have added on multiple small contracts via both resale and direct over the past few years. We love split stays and always end our longer trips at the Poly to enjoy the relaxing vibe and wind down. Great pools, great food (poolside poke bowl is a favourite), great drinks...

If I had the spare change right now I would have zero hesitancy in buying yet another Poly contract. We currently have multiple small contracts there, bought both direct and resale, and it is by far my wife's favourite resort. Our kids are now 16 and 13 but quite tall so we now typically...

Stayed at SSR this past January and was really surprised at how much I liked the resort. We stayed in a 2 bedroom and it was massive feeling and looked beautiful in person. The points charts are very reasonable for standard view units and we were positioned close to the Disney Springs walkway...

Thanks - we have reservations booked at both CCV and SS and just deciding what to release. Thanks to everyone's comments, we have decided to enjoy CCV and save SSR for another January trip.

Hi everyone. We have an upcoming trip scheduled for this August to WDW and need some help deciding between resorts. We love split stays to focus on different parts / amenities and so the first part of our trip is booked at Riviera in a 2 bdrm and the last part of our trip is booked at The...

We are Canadians who frequent WDW three times per year and finally made the trip out to the West Coast to enjoy Disneyland during the last week of June. Overall we really enjoyed the trip and below are some of our initial thoughts: Disneyland and California Adventure are beautiful parks! They...

Is there not anything that can be done to force DVC to address the reno? Owners are paying their dues and an allocation of those funds are geared towards refurbs according to the proposed schedules. At this point, a cycle of improvement will be missed and there will be a surplus of funds in...

We just had a very fast resale process. Made the offer on Poly for 100 pts on Jan 15th and had the points loaded into our account as of Feb 22nd. Total of 38 days from start to finish which is unbelievable. My first resale contract at AKV took 92 days in total by comparison back in 2017.

I think it depend on how much hotel rooms are going for in 20 years. Poly is pretty much one of the most expensive hotel rooms you can book throughout the year (on average) so if it remains a popular (and expensive) choice, DVC at Poly will continue to look like a bargain.

We stayed at SSR for the first time this past Marathon race weekend and were very impressed with the rooms and resort. We typically stay at Poly, BC, BWV, AKV, RR and sometimes CC but avoided SSR in the past due to buses, theming and distance from parks. We decided to rent a car for the first...

We own multiple DVC contracts currently, some direct and some via resale and until recently, I preferred the direct purchase route due to ease and instant gratification. Our earlier resale contract experiences were often frustrating and drawn out but the way new prices have continued to sky...

My understanding is that costs such roof are amortized over "useful life" so if a roof is determined to last 20 years, owners would only be responsible for 1/20th of the roof cost in 2041. Spread over the amount of points at the resort, that cost increase would be minimal.

Hope you enjoy your trip. I love staying at Copper Creek!

Don't know how to best answer this. We are split stay people and love both because staying at both gives us two different types of vacations. Poly is our favourite for vibe. We love the theme and the way the resort is laid out and love how we can take a boat, monorail, ferry or simply walk to...

Just came back from our first family trip to WDW since 2019. We are Canadians and had our 2020 trip(s) cancelled unfortunately due to the pandemic and border closures but finally were able to get back "home" from Aug 24th to Sept 4th. We had a bunch of banked DVC points and decided to go all...

Based on our stay at Pago Pago, changes included the new murphy bed in place of the old sofa bed, new chairs by table, new carpet throughout. Original bed, side tables, table and coffee table / chest remain. Probably had new bed cover etc. but I didn't really pay attention to that detail...

Moorea is definitely being worked on. Was there this past weekend and workers were busy installing new carpets etc in each room on the lower level facing the lake. Looks like they were tackling 5 rooms at a time which was impressive. We stayed in one of the new rooms at Pago Pago and liked...

Sorry - what is RAT? Congrats on securing the room.
