How to determine view for an inbound RCI exchange to DVC?

[TheHolleys87]

I always check to 15 day forecast so I can figure out what to pack.

We do too - but in January we still pack for both warm and cool weather. Never know how it will change!

I made the mistake in January of just taking long pants. We were so hot, we drove to Costco and bought shorts. And even Costco in Orlando had only golf skirts for me and golf shorts for Rick, no cargo shorts, no capris for me. I was disappointed that we hadn't gone prepared. How much space does it take to throw a few pairs of shorts in the suitcase? What was I thinking?

Quick update - I called DVC today and we have a Savanah view!

That, combined with my wife's new boss reducing her FTE means we're just going to go - if they don't like it they can find someone else.

Awesomeness!

Yes, we are typically there in January and I pack for both warm and cool weather. This year we have reservations for December, which is a hit and miss in regards to weather too.

Ugh, that is hard.
I take shorts for the day and just in case…a jacket, gloves, hat and a scarf for the evenings in January. I will be doing the same for December. Lol I have been very thankful for my gloves and scarf many times during the evenings in January.

You would think I'd have learned that lesson!

In winter, I ignore the forecast---in Central FL it is often meaningless more than 36 hours in advance, and sometimes even then.

Instead, I pack for 2-3 days each of cold and warm weather. Usually, no matter what the forecast says, that works out. If worse comes to worst, I just use the washer/dryer to re-wear the warm/cold weather gear I need. Villas FTW.

Yes, half the jackets, hoodies, sweaters and sweatshirts in my closet were bought at Disney when I went unprepared. Many times the needed item was back in the villa!!
