Um, you don't seriously believe that they would hold your child hostage, do you? If I were there, and they refused to return my child, the cops would be there in about 10 seconds. That's a felony. It's called kidnapping. |

Fri 2/15/2008 5:08a | I have had this problem twice this week. And yesterday it was at the DFW Airport check in! I kept reminding myself to not show frustration with my body lanquage/eye contact scrutiny to make it thru security. |

Fri 2/15/2008 5:26a | Funny thing, my experience with the DVC is exactly like Trippy's and I have bought as recently as Saratoga.
I've dealth with the DVC three times now... Boardwalk was my first purchase. Beach Club was my second. And SS my third.
I will be unloading these as soon as Contempo comes online. :D
Never had any pressure whatsoever from the DVC to buy. |

Fri 2/15/2008 5:30a | <<<Combined with the omnipresent booths in WDW, it's a pretty strong attempt to get people to buy these.>>>
Actually I have noticed that there are fewer of these booths now. The one that used to be a model just across the bridge leaving the hub, heading into Adventureland is gone. The ones that used to be "manned" at the DVC resorts themselves are now gone. There are none anywhere at the Hilton Head resort and in fact, other than the garbage cans that have the DVC logo, and the exemplary accomodations, you wouldn't even know the thing was DVC.

Fri 2/15/2008 5:34a | vbdad you guys should try out the Hilton Head one. I single you out because I know how fond of Non-WDW DVC's you are. The "hotel" portion is on the intercoastal waterway, and the beachfront area, complete with a huge beach house for showers and pool and whatnot, is across the island, (walking distance and there is a shuttle) on the Atlantic coast. It's a really nice, very upscale lazy southern place where it's easy to waste a lot of time relaxing. Just my kind of place! |

I mean, is it very "Disney" aside from the name? |
