    Question For "Blue Card" Members - MDE App

    I have a few contracts, some direct some resale. In MDE if you go to the menu, then My Profile, then Memberships & Passes it will list your affiliations - DVC, passholder, DCL status, etc. I have three items show up for my DVC memberships. Two show as "ID: ####" and one shows "ID: DVC-####"...

    Actual Re-sale Savings

    As others have alluded to you ignored the opportunity cost of the $$ saved day one which is material - nearly as material as the upfront savings. Using Poly as the example, you save $16k upfront. Instead of investing that $16k in DVC at a 0% return (since you assume you sell for the same...

    Tickets and Annual Pass Questions - Please add your ticket questions to this thread

    Question for the experts. I have a Sorcerror's Pass that expires soon. I have an old Gold AP voucher that was never activated - do you think I can use the value of that towards the renewal, then with the incremental leftover (due to renewal discount) apply that towards the $99 waterparks option?

    Grandfathering question for DVC "Y" digital card / extra benefits

    Thanks, I agree it is probably a manual process and perhaps this was an error. Wouldn't be surprised if it went away at some point but at least I'm a FL resident with access to AP's anyway! Maybe I'll sneak in a visit to TOTWL at some point but don't have much use for the extras either way.

    Grandfathering question for DVC "Y" digital card / extra benefits

    Unfortuantely I missed that window by just a few weeks, so it's not that.

    Grandfathering question for DVC "Y" digital card / extra benefits

    I have a mix of resale and direct points. I first bought several resale contracts from 2016-2018, then 40 direct points at VGF back in the summer of 2019. At that time you needed 75 direct points to qualify for the benefits, so I didn't have enough. Fast forward to this year and I bought an...

    Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tower at Contemporary Resort - *2 New Parties Added! “Enchantment at the Top” & New “Bound to Be Bad” Dates Added

    It does annoy me because although I don’t qualify for the benefits I have spent $19,000 on direct points (just not more than 150 points). Still, on my primary 250 point contract I bought years ago I saved $17,000 vs buying direct. I will miss TOTWL but would I pay $17k for it - NO! (Granted the...

    Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tower at Contemporary Resort - *2 New Parties Added! “Enchantment at the Top” & New “Bound to Be Bad” Dates Added

    Agreed but the language in the one article is so specific it must have come from some kind of Disney press release?

    RUMOR: Disney Vacation Club Considering Paid Member Perks Program

    Confirmed today in the TOTW reopening announcement: it's now only for "blue card" members with DVC Y on their digital card. Lameeeeeeee.

    Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tower at Contemporary Resort - *2 New Parties Added! “Enchantment at the Top” & New “Bound to Be Bad” Dates Added

    "Beginning July 11, the lounge will be open from 6 p.m. through midnight most nights. DVC Members will need to show their digital membership card on My Disney Experience to access the lounge." Hmm... do we think this means it's open to all members staying on property, or is this meant to mean...

    *The Official VILLAS AT DISNEY'S GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA Owners & Lovers Group*

    Hmm, after looking at the Blog Mickey pictures of the new lobby and corridors I will say it's a lot more feminine than I expected. A lot of pink florals vs. the resort studios themselves which have more of a neutral emerald and blue color scheme going.

    VGC at 7 months out

    Historically one-bedroom availability was decent at non-peak times of year. With all of the new VGF owners now though, I suspect it will be hard to get any non-studio rooms going forward. Not all of the new buyers will want studios 100% of the time.

    RUMOR: Disney Vacation Club Considering Paid Member Perks Program

    So after paying thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars more to buy direct for "perks" you may have the opportunity to pay even more to get things that were mostly free previously. What a joke.

    The VGF 2 pricing thread

    What do we think will happen when current pricing expires next week - do you think the base pricing of $207 /pt will change or only the incentives?

    Financing... Worth it to get in sooner, or wait it out while saving?

    The truth is the math on financing is pretty brutal and at that point it’s cheaper to just rent points 99% of the time. That said - *hopefully* that amount that you’re “overpaying” to finance your points won’t really move the needle in your financial health long term. Maybe it doesn’t make sense...

    [Closed] 220 AKV Points for Rent - Travel Dec 2022 Onward (Xmas 2022/ Spring Break 2023), $20pp

    Value View gets booked at 11 months on the day so those are gone, however there are Standard View studios available at both Jambo and Kidani. That would be 108 points for both rooms.
