I started a yahoo group discussion list, called dvctalk, back in 1998 for people to share tips about ownership in the Disney Vacation Club. At the time my family had an ownership at Disney World’s Old Key West resort, the original DVC resort (pictured above). Much to my surprise, the membership of dvctalk grew and grew. Today there are over 4,500 subscribers who share DVC tips on the list. You can find out more about dvctalk and subscribe here
Our family bought into the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) in the mid-90’s and we immediately reaped the benefits – visiting Disney World multiple times a year with our DVC points when our sons were young. One purchase option that many don’t know about – instead of buying direct from Disney you can buy a DVC resale! The best DVC resale expert and broker we know is Shontell Crawford from DVCbyResale.com. We recently talked with Shontell to get the latest on DVC and the DVC resale market.
Disney has come out with a good offer for Disney World resort stays most nights from January 1st through March 7th.
Be Our Guest Breakfast at Disney World
By Karen Waldman, Family Travel Gurus Travel Consultant
We enjoyed our breakfast dining experience at Be Our Guest, the Magic Kingdom restaurant designed to represent the castle from Beauty and the Beast. They had good food and the atmosphere was wonderful. There are three dining areas. The big main room is the ballroom. We ate in the more intimate West Wing (the room with the rose). The West Wing is quiet and dark, with a fireplace glowing. The third room, with lots of artwork and a rotating Beast/Belle dancing centerpiece, opened as we were leaving.
Frozen Sing-Along at Disney World
By Karen Waldman, Family Travel Gurus Travel Consultant
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this relatively-new show, and was pleasantly surprised. The 35-minute show is at the Hyperion Theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and currently starts at the top of every hour.
Disney has come out with a fun singing video for why you should stay on site at Disney World (see below)
We came across this video today which reminded us why we love to visit Walt Disney World’s Epcot – the food! At the World Showcase you can indulge in food from Epcot’s countries:
We enjoyed this video from Disney recently:
