Another Wilderness Lodge/BRV lover here! And sooner or later, we will all decide to descend on the Lodge at the same time! Do you get your wife the wax melts for Christmas? |

Yay, Tom’s back! Good to hear from you. Is Club 33 membership new since last time you were around? Love to hear details of how/when you got in and overall thoughts of everything about it. We have been Club Members since it began in WDW. We kept on the down low for many reasons. But since I am not longer part of admin, I does not bother me that people know now.
We love the Club and being members. It was expensive to join and the fees are not cheap. But there is a lot of value in the perks we get to enjoy. The changes in WDW policies the past 5 years have only made the Club better. The biggest are Park Reservations, Park Hopping, AP blackouts, Genie and Lightning Lane......None of those apply to club Members. We get four Premier Passes, 50 1-day "special" tickets, 5 VIP tours, Club Services that will make reservations for us (mostly helpful for dining) and access to private events for Club members.
Being Club member have spoiled us to the point that if we ever gave up our membership, I am not sure we could go back to doing Disney without all the benefits.
You have actually gotten me interested in Club 33 (yes, I know they have stopped accepting). Just trying to figure the annual into my retirement plan. |

Hi everyone!
Its been a long time since my last post on MouseOwners. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still around and still going to Disney.
I plan on stopping in every now and then.....say "Hi", pass on some advice, nag Brian.
We still own DVC - SSR, AKV, BLT, VGF and Riviera Resort. We are Club 33 members. Robin still sells Disney Travel. My grandsons are getting big....9 and 7 years old now. Life is Good!
If you ever need to get in touch, just send me an email or a message via PM.

Thought I replied to this before, but apparently I didn't. So glad to see you back! I have always appreciated your answers, advice, and stories. Good to "see" you! |

After so many years of chatting with Tom, talking to Robin and booking through her, we finally met up! It was like seeing old friends and picking up where we left off. Lovely couple, but you all knew that. Another reason to thank MO for the introduction and MagicO for letting us continue❣️

No, we bought two 100 point contracts direct. I gave up trying to find a resale and the sale at the time, tipped the scales enough to pay the extra and have hassle free points.
Riviera isn't for me, but I think that direct was a wise decision for you. Those restrictions are just too restrictive... Congratulations! It was......but we are now in the process of adding a Riviera resale. Posted it on the ROFR thread. |

Nope.....Its one of a kind. Well, actually two of a kind since it is modeled after another resort. We were just over at Wilderness Lodge a few weeks ago for dinner with Snow White. The resort is still stunning.

That is Tom and Robin. They are first class in every single way that matters in life. |

I wore a tiara to have my picture with the Queen, and she was perfectly evil about it! 😂😂😂 |
