How did you exchange / rent / own into CCMB?
Very difficult to exchange into any of the gulf properties because most owners there use their weeks and never release them into HGVC. Most probably haven’t even enrolled their ownership Into HGVC. Anyways, some TUG member posted availability on TUG (@ChrisZXWJ - thank you so much). I immediately booked.

thanks. That is all as I expected. It'll be a few years before we can (HOPING) be that flexible &/or able to prioritize travel.

Really nice watching the fireworks from the Lanai instead of the crowd for once.

Very nice. I have some similar shots above from Lagoon Tower and it's interesting to see the different angles on this relative to Rainbow Tower.

Cheers.

your photos aren't up any more, but from a 2br grand plus do you think you can see the race during F1?
Can you see parts of the race, yes if you get a North Facing room. Will it be a good view with the speed of the cars, no.
