When I was at Disney World in January, I asked about taking the tour at a kiosk in EPCOT. When I got around to the fact that I was already a member, they said that they couldn't take me over there (I'd have to get myself there), and I would need to schedule my tour for the next day.
I've only been to the office at SSR to get my member card (I finished my purchase a week before my first DVC stay). I bought resale, looking only at the model on the Boardwalk, so it would have been nice to see the models. I was leaving the next day, so it wasn't an option.
I think when I go this January, I'll get my friend to act interested and see what happens. And if they ask my name, I just won't tell them how to spell it, so they can't find me in the system.
