I'm finding more often that I am asked to show the DVC-Y card on my phone. In April, after MK fireworks they directed us through the stores and yes, I fell into the trap of shopping at the Emporium. The lines were enormous, people shoulder to shoulder and the CM at the register waited for me to fumble around for my phone to confirm DVC-Y. It was a good 3 minutes of not moving that line.
We ate lunch at AK and the server asked if we had discounts. I said we were DVC she said "thanks for keeping me employed. Can I see your card?". I asked what would happen if it was a DVC-ND card and she said she'd say "Thanks for keeping me employed and there's no discount". We had an interesting convo and she was saying how Disney loves to sell DVC for the upfront money and CMs feel a sense of job security.
ToTW was also strict and additionally asked for photo ID. Another minor peeve because I tend to keep my DL in the hotel safe.
I do wish the discount could be linked to the MC or some other more easily identifiable way then fumbling for my phone and then searching for it.
