    SSR Pool Closure-Concerns

    Is this done? The notice on the booking page still says "From early January 2023 through late March 2023." I'm booked 4/28-5/1. There is currently availability to switch to Jambo or Kidani, but that is completely dependent to me on the status of the SSR pools.

    50% Borrowing Restrictions Easing?

    Everyone get their email this morning? Restriction is over. Literally the day after I would have returned from a trip if I was allowed to borrow in the first place. I give up.

    50% Borrowing Restrictions Easing?

    I can vouch for another denial. I knew there was a possibility I wanted to take a trip this July for 83 points (August use year.) Since it wasn't 100%, I banked the 42 points I had for 2021, figuring if the trip came to be I would just borrow from the 2022 allotment (we have 100 points). Had no...

    5/10--can't add Genie after midnight, anyone else with problems?

    Didn't try to add it on 5/12. Just happened again now on 5/13. Didn't work on my phone. Tried on my wife's phone and now the same thing is happening on her phone/account with no updates between 5/11 and now. Enraging. Had to steal my daughter's Android tablet, override the parental control...

    5/10--can't add Genie after midnight, anyone else with problems?

    Had this happen this night/morning (5/11). Didn't let me tap the button to add on my account on my iPhone 13 Pro Max, worked on my wife's account on her iPhone 11 Pro (literally had to steal her phone from her nightstand while she was sleeping). Don't know if difference was the account or the...

    Everything PhotoPass & Memory Maker

    Am I missing something, or do they not offer the release with the downloads anymore? I have the .jpg version as "Limited_License_Agreement" from 2016, but there wasn't anything with my photos from the January and September trips I took. I see the same thing more or less spelled out here, but...

    Upgrading ticket to gold AP—how aggravating?

    When I did this in January, the term the CM used was that he had to bring it up to the "pre-arrival" price. Not sure if that's more "official" or not.

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

    Back. When I first arrived at my first park (Epcot), I looked in the app and though it did offer the choice to upgrade, it does not give the option for the DVC-level passes. I went to Guest Relations and told them I wanted to upgrade. They gave me a total somewhere around $260 even though I...

    Thanks; it's the unusual expiration dates that threw me off.

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

    Okay, so I read post 6 and unfortunately, it made me a little more confused since it didn't account for my tickets' dates. I bought our tickets back in late June 2018 from UndercoverTourist. The tickets arrived with a sticker that says they expire on February 28th, 2019. It looks like the...

    TV Inputs (HDMI input) unlocked in guest rooms? (Saratoga Springs)

    It's been a little bit for DW and I (9/2016), but on our PVB stay we were able to use our Amazon Fire Stick on it no problem. I'm not familiar with usage of the Apple TV, but you may want to make sure it can work on public wifi that requires you to accept terms. Some devices cannot open the...

    DVC AP activation?

    Saw it was mentioned earlier that the ticket window could activate if necessary. Wonder if they can supply the card also. We're not sure what time of day we're arriving, but since we're staying at SSR I was also debating activating at Disney Springs. BUT that adds one more question: If we...

    DVC AP activation?

    Do they still give you the AP card as well? We'll have our MB's, but I know that the card is usually needed for discounts...

    Slight Change to 2017 San Francisco/Napa

    Logistically, how does the grape stomping work? Anything DW and I should be aware of in advance as far as clothing/footwear and risk of anything getting "ruined"? Also if you don't mind, I have one other question about the adventure since DW keeps asking me: At the LucasFilm stop, there there...

    Slight Change to 2017 San Francisco/Napa

    Just as a follow-up/data point: I wrote to our advisor again and she said that the trip is definitely going, and it's with 12 people. Definitely have to remember the adults-only trick if/when we look at any in the future and want to increase the odds of it going. (EDIT: Trip leaves on 5/11)

    Interesting Change...curious what you think!

    So as someone who hasn't gone on an Adventure before (but has SF booked in May), I didn't even realize I would be getting anything other than paperwork (too used to WDW where it's just MagicBands and Magical Express paperwork.) This isn't just for repeat adventurers, is it? And what's the...

    Slight Change to 2017 San Francisco/Napa

    I wrote to our "Vacationista" late last week to check in on status. Here's her reply (note that there were 12 guests including DW and myself at the time of booking in mid-January, so nobody new):

    Slight Change to 2017 San Francisco/Napa

    Interesting; this whole "not guaranteed to go" thing is very new to me so having the key part of the trip be "officially" unknown is scary. When I called AbD to book (direct, before I found out about DU but by then final payment was already made so it was too late), we were told that...

    Slight Change to 2017 San Francisco/Napa

    DW and I have only had our May 2017 San Francisco/Napa Adventure booked for a few weeks, but I got the below email from AbD on Feb 2 and haven't seen anybody mention it yet. Actually come to think of it, I rarely if ever see this one mentioned and I didn't even see it in the 2017 booklet we...

    DVC Members will now get special welcome at parks

    I'm pretty sure this is what I experienced in November at Destination D. They had a "test" touchpoint there as part of demonstrating the new MagicBand 2.0. I noticed that mine was behaving differently from the other attendees (since the theme of the event was "Adventure," the touchpoint *was*...
