]]> Comment on My Thoughts About Disney Vacation Club Are at Chip and Co. This Week by maria http://theaffordablemouse.com/my-thoughts-about-disney-vacation-club-are-at-chip-and-co-this-week/comment-page-1/#comment-553 maria Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:48:12 +0000 http://theaffordablemouse.com/?p=938#comment-553 I own 1650 Vacation Club points and have been an owner since 1994. I've always loved our family vacations, especially the disney cruises. The last couple of years, however, have seen the Vacation Club become very commercialized. Many new rules regarding th euse of your points and very underhanded actions. The latest? All of a suddne if you try to book a cruise with your points, you are told that all cruises for all boats and all itineraries are sold out until October 2011. Was just on a Disney cruise and was told by the DVC employees that this is bull and that Disney really just wants to push for the cash customer. When you call DVC to book the cruise the reps says all boats are full - without even checking. Very disappointing and un-Mickey like. Thinking of selling my points.

We had more trouble finishing our CS meals than our TS meals! Also, there are many snack options that could serve as a breakfast or lunch and are pretty cheap! Ex, cinnamon rolls from Main Street Bakery! I would suggest splitting counter service meals! We had more trouble finishing our CS meals than our TS meals!

This is a great strategy to make the most out of that deluxe dining package!

And the added bonus would be eating in restaurants at non-peak times: easier to get ADRs or seats at counter service...and eating the big meal early would mean it would be cheaper than dinner prices.
