My Favorite Thing About Disney
We just bought Resale at the Polynesian after our first Disney Vacation in March of 2019. Our first visit as DVC members will be in three weeks (October 2019). We will know after that if we want to buy more points but will definitely always go resale because the perks that mean anything to us […]

Is There Enough To Do Without Going To The Parks?
You never really think about going to Disney without going to the parks (well we didn’t until buying DVC). We always planned to go to the parks a few days at least. This year has been tough with unforeseen expenses. We already had our room booked at Copper Creek. Money being tight we dug in […]

Disney Vacation Club Fanatic
We joined in March 2010 on a Disney Cruise! What I love best about DVC is the flexibility. We bring family, friends and celebrated my daughter’s high school graduation by bringing her high school friends. We bought an annual pass last year with the DVC discount to celebrate Retirement. BEST Decision Ever! We will buy […]

Seniors in Paradise: Staying Young at Disney World
Being retired and 68 years old, one might suppose that I would want to take it easy and stay away from the hectic excitement of the parks at Walt Disney World. But nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, I, as a native New Yorker, chose to buy a vacation home (now my […]
