    New AP Verification?

    Mine shows the same. When we went into any shops back in September I stated I have DVC. I would show my eligibility for it in the APP. Each CM would give me the AP discount since the App showed Annual as well. Our APs expired in 2019. I stated DVC discount but they gave me the better of...

    How do Mears Connect and Sunshine Flyer compare lately ??

    Our experience with Sunshine Flyer was on September 17th. I agree with the confusion / chaos at the Podium area. It was around 1pm. They need to figure out a way to do things inside the way Magic Express had done previously. No clear lines. Very loud outside with engines running and...

    Park Hopping Rumor?

    Strictly thinking from a selfish point of view, I would not object to dvc members to be able to park hop before 2. This will be our first time back since sept 2019 this coming September. I loved making fast passes 60 days in advance and would probably pay for it as necessary. Or gone are...

    Time for borrowed points to be returned back

    It took less than 2 weeks for them to put mine back. They had also made an error and left me 17 points in my current use year that had also been borrowed. Resolved in online chat in 10 minutes.

    One time use points on cancelled reservation for Covid-19

    We had OTU points for our trip next month to Aulani. It took about 20 minutes on hold as they had to authorize the refund. We also had borrowed points on the reservation as well but it was squared away.

    Tipping and Treats for movers?

    For your move, snacks and water should be good. I like to tip each person individually. We moved last year out of a 3 story townhome. They had a lot to do so we did provide pizza, water, and a sizable tip since that move was a beast.

    Other vacations than DVC

    Buying DVC has forced us into taking vacations and seeing other places. We go every other year to some place different. Renting out our points has been painless. Went to Dominican Republic last year. Have been to Mexico and Jamaica. The goal next year is Hawaii and Vegas and maybe a...

    Purchase Animal Kingdom?

    I believe that 7 month easy booking will tighten a bit as well for AKL. The company I rent out my points with as now included AKL as a premium resort. We love our AKL Dvc. What most complain of it's distance to parks is a plus for us.

    Magical Express and delays with TSA.

    For us it's the ease of travel in getting in and out of the airport as well. We have found it easier since O'hare is right off the tollway and trying to deal with the traffic on the streets around Midway just wasn't for us. We live in the Western burbs so we are about the same distance wise...

    Magical Express and delays with TSA.

    That's so funny because we are just the opposite on that!

    Single Rider Line, Abuse or Hidden Mickey Trick?

    It happened to me last year on RNR. The single rider line probably only saved me 10 minutes off of standby. It just took a while that time because there weren't a lot of odd number groups at the time.

    Is this a good price on AKL resale?

    I say to be truly happy buy what you can comfortably afford and where you feel you want to purchase. Obviously everyone is not buying Saratoga and OKW because they didn't want to. Just because they chose to do something else with the money doesn't make them unwise financially. This is...

    changing award flight...? Or last minute return flight?

    I changed my award flight with United 2 days after I booked it. I had to call to do it because I couldn't on the website. Agent was more than happy to assist with no charge for a change fee. I guess it just depends on who you deal with on any given day.

    Is this a good price on AKL resale?

    We paid 87 for a 200 point contract that had 195 points left from 2015. I guess the question is how much is it worth to you.

    Orlando Airport Security Screening last weekend - getting worse not better

    We arrived at MCO around 1:15 that day and it was chaos. We checked our luggage using RAC and had Priority Aaccess line and it still took about 40 minutes. It did appear they were understaffed. It had never taken that long before.

    What's in the new member package? The only other package we have received is the 2016-2017 point value book via FedEx.

    Member number after resale purchase....

    Yes we are first time buyers and bought resale. Our deed was recorded the same day as closing. We even booked a trip near the end of this month with 35 banked points from 2014. Found a few days availability at Saratoga Springs. We closed March 11.

    Help - ready to buy, but feel like it's "too good to be true"

    I don't understand your reasoning. I am going down at the end of the month for less than a week stay. Where in the rules does it state you have to rent / book a full week? You have your 11 month home resort booking which should get you a week at your home resort and 7 months anyplace else...
