    Why the 7 day limit

    This is to avoid you bypass the 7/11 months window easily if you have lots of points. I.e. Book for 4 weeks at the 7/11 months and then call back to drop the first few weeks a month later. It is called walking. Still doable, but you can only “walk” by one week

    Barcelona transportation

    I used www.transfersbarcelona.es in 2014. They where great. We were a group of 10 so private transport was better than taxi.

    Update included changes in waitlist setup?

    There is probably no CM involved in these transactions anymore and having a checkbox would simply make the waitlist fail. It is probably better that they removed it. In the majority of cases, unchecking this would be the equivalent of not waitlisting.

    DVC Membership Cards...anyone have one yet?

    I'm a member since 2010 both direct and resale. Still no card. My BIL bought direct at the same time as us in 2010 and got his card. I went on the website this week and ordered a card as I assumed mine was lost.

    Still no new member card

    We've been member since 2010 and have not yet receive the new card. I tried filling in the form to request one this morning, but the page was down.

    New memeber card arrived in the mail..Exp. date Questions...

    They did enter my card number in the register before giving me a discount at Saratoga Spring in January before giving me a discount on my purchases. That is why I am half expecting the new cards to have some form of quick validation chip. For those complaining of the cost. The RIFD cards only...

    New memeber card arrived in the mail..Exp. date Questions...

    If they've put an RFID, it is embedded in the plastic and is invisible unless you break the card apart. It can be read the same way they read your magic band when making a paiement

    New memeber card arrived in the mail..Exp. date Questions...

    If I had to guess. I would say these cards probably have a magnetic stripe and or an RFID chip. The expiration date has more to do with the lifespan of the card than the expiration of the advantages. It is more to indicate by which date you will be issued a new one. The advantage for DVC is that...

    DVC points do not have the same values?

    I am not sure I follow. Disney does not make VGF points look cheap by selling them at 150$/pt as it is the same price as other actively sold resort like AKL and Aulani. Discrepancies in the price per points is attributable to offer/demand variations. It has always been the point chart that was...

    Next-gen Finger Scans

    My guess is once we are all using RFID tickets linked to credit cards and hotel reservations it becomes a lot easier for them to cross reference everything. Finger scanning would becomes unnecessary for guest currently staying at a disney resort. Your ticket/bracelet becomes a credit card...

    ROFR and UY

    DVD cannot change the UY of a contract as it is the UY is declared at the time of the unit declaration. A contract is just part of a unit so they would have to change all the contract of the unit to be able to do this. Highly improbable!

    DVC Transatlantic Cruise Gift(s)

    Yes DVC is giving small gifts to any DVC member cruising with Disney cruise line. Not just cruising on points. On our last cruise (Cash no points) we received A DVC wooden box with a Mickey pin, a couple lanyards and four DVC baseball hats. If you wear the hats on the beach of casteway cay...

    2-way radios?

    No agent will prevent you from entering the US with them as it is totally legal to own one. They even sell them in store there without proof of license. But to operate at power level of above 1/2 of a watt (FRS) you need a license. In theory you could be fined for using them without a license...

    2-way radios?

    Look at the documentation that comes with these. Although they require no license to operate in Canada, they require one in the USA.

    If you could design the next DVC resort what would it look like?

    What about a star wars theme DVC near HS :rotfl2:

    Why not free dining for DVC?

    It will fall on deaft ears as there is no such thing as free dinning. Disney can claim they give you the dinning plan for "free" as they give you a discount on the price of a MYW package equivalent to the price of your dinning plan. That is, compared to what they call the full non-discounted...

    Can we do a party at AKV Kidani pool and have pizza delivered?

    Unless I am mistaken, guests are only allowed at the pool if staying at the resort or at a resort from which they can pool hop.

    Max number of nights?

    The 7 nights is only in relation to the 11/7 months rule. The website do limit you to 14 days even if your checkout date is well below 7 months. I just checked and I was not able to specify more than 14 days (even 15 days to go from Saturday to Sunday is not permitted). There is probably a...
