And mints…
Yes, spent some time with @NVDISFamily and his family. Yes, they have hot chocolate. Espresso, latte, Americano, etc.Did you two cross paths at all? Say hi? End up in the background of each other's pictures??
Do they have hot chocolate? (Not that it matters to me since I'm resale....but I'm still curious since that's my go-to warm beverage on vacations.)
Thanks for allowing us to say hi. Nice to visit with you today.Yes, spent some time with @NVDISFamily and his family. Yes, they have hot chocolate. Espresso, latte, Americano, etc.
The lounges are funded by DVC as part of their marketing budget, and aren’t supported by dues, just like Moonlight Magic events.Considering resale members own part of the finite number of overall DVC points, it’s truly so weird that only direct members can use the lounges. Oh well. I’ll have to buy my own hot cocoa lol.
Not at all. Just my being lazy, not bringing the fancy camera, and not taking the time to shoot the pictures in RAW and fixing them in Lightroom. Overall it was a very well themed and welcoming place. Would highly recommend as a respite from crazy park days as an alternative to walking back to VGC if you just need a break, the “free” soda or espresso isn’t bad eitherIt looks pretty dark in there. I wish they had some windows or skylights.

What are the lounges hours? Also, would you say it holds more people than the Epcot lounge? And, were the giveaways just for yesterday or do you think they will have them for the next week or 2?
I'm looking forward to going in the next week and half once I'm back from WDW.
Thank you, that's good to hear about seating. Do the tables have the charging ports at them like at Epcot?The hours yesterday were 11-6, and it definitely holds more people than Epcot. Seating is not currently being assigned like at Epcot either. It looked like they had plenty of gifts, but I didn’t ask specifically how long they’d be handing them out.
But resale owners know going in that they aren’t going to have access to these things. The argument is that they don’t care about them and just want the lower ppp.Fair, but the points that a resale owner has were at one point purchased direct by someone who no longer owns them. DVC already had direct money on those points, and chose not to ROFR them.

It was just my luck that this opened up during my longest wdw trip lol
The YouTube videos show that there are numerous outlets along the outer edge.Thank you, that's good to hear about seating. Do the tables have the charging ports at them like at Epcot?

Respectfully, it's a pointless debate. All of the member perks are positioned as incentives to buy direct. If you chose to buy resale, enjoy your savings!Fair, but the points that a resale owner has were at one point purchased direct by someone who no longer owns them.

Thanks! - If I ever get caught up from the million other pieces of DVC news this week I'll def share this!@pkrieger2287 feel free to recycle/use these if needed. It’s better than Epcot's for sure. I’ll post more and provide more insight later
