11 months ago, I got up and booked at 5am my 50th B-Day room a 3 Bedroom Suite at the California Grand. Yay! Happy 50th B-day to me!!!! There are ONLY 2- three bedroom suites. If you know anything about the Grand Ca, you know that getting these rooms even when you are a direct owner is VERY...

I’m a frequent traveler to Disney World. My next trip will be new to me in several ways, and I’d really appreciate some advice from those with experience in MDE and Genie +. I’d also love to hear strategies for managing a party as the adult with 4 teenagers who want a bit of appropriate...

Hi all, I know this has probably been asked before but we live in the UK and are planning to pay our Annual Dues. In our PayPal account, we have a certain amount in dollars. I’m aware that if you want to withdraw this into pounds, you have to pay a fee. I’ve seen that you can pay your annual...

Hey all, My husband and I finally pulled the trigger on 200 points today. It is our first DVC contract. We are very well versed in WDW and AP, but clueless on the ins and outs of DVC. We did do a lot of research but I feel like there are always “hacks” that owners know that Disney will never...

Hey everyone.... WE ARE GOING TO HAWAII (and Disneyland again)! A little background: My family have been members since 1999. We own at BWV, HH and since this past summer SSR. My husband and I will be married 27 years come March 18th!! Holy moly, that is a long time and we are in our youthful...

It’s been like this for over 2 YEARS. You bought resale and you want to borrow points to secure that room that you’ve been stalking for months? TOO BAD! You need to call member services and hold for 1 hour so that the agent can tell you “so sorry it’s been taken already”. Frejdjdnfnrrhehdhfn!!

Note: this is something I'm just thinking about but had some questions. If we sold our resale contract that we've financed, does the financing company just get paid off the amount we still owe and the rest goes in our pocket? I understand there are some other considerations like commission and...

Good morning all, I wanted to see if anyone had some answers for me regarding refillable mugs. I'm sure this is probably obvious with the dining plan going away, but is there still a means of getting refillable mugs included with resort stay or do we have to purchase them separately. For...

I have a few noob questions. Member services hasn't been able to help and waiting on the phone is not possible. We just rescheduled our cruise to this Dec. We're going to stay on property for 1 night and then take ME to port. -Do DVC members get anything special? I had seen something in the...

Hi folks! My family and I have been back and forth on a DVC purchase (our first one!) for a bit and finally decided to take the jump. After discussing, we decided to get the first 150 points direct to get blue card status, with the understanding that any we purchased later would likely be resale...

Hi all! I turned 18 this year and am now an associate on my parents DVC membership. I still live with my parents but I am looking to go on a solo trip in a few weeks, which will be my first trip back since 2019, since we are from Canada. We usually buy the Gold Annual Pass with our DVC...

Just curious, do long-time owners (say, 10+years) find they like to stick to their home resort, or do you get bored and like to sleep around? I ask because I like the idea of sleeping around, while my husband loves our home resort and doesn't want to stay anywhere else. Wondering if he'll...

My husband and I bought our first contract earlier this year- 150 SS direct. After really contemplating things, we are looking to add on around 75 points early next year. We’ve decided that one bedrooms are more our speed. We do not have children yet, but are hoping to soon. We would like the...

Hey guys, I am nearly certain I know the answer to this question, but my searches all come with very old answers, so just in case I am appealing to all your great knowledge! Family is going to WDW for Grandma's 90th B-day (Oct 9-18) and renting points for a 2bedroom BLT. However we have three...
