2026 MMB info Announced

[Girlstar30]

I'm worried that if people keep pointing out the value DVC will take it back.

I thought the same thing

15 pp for RIV? That's terrible. I'll take my chances renting them out myself on the forums or say screw it and book myself a cabin. For that much you're definitely taking a loss while DVCRM runs away selling the points closer to 22 to 25 pp.

Same I think they quoted me $16 for blt during Christmas season I was like bye

Same as for 2025. 65 for a sorcerer pass renewal, 75 for brand new.

Thank you!

We have 4 membership #'s and 13 contracts between my wife and myself. Hoping we can buy MMB this year (Canadian). Anyone know how many OTUP's can we purchase?

Follow up question, do you guys think DVC will ever start to offer more tempting exchanges like the AP exchange that are actually on par with the actual value of the points as a way to reduce inventory of places like DVC rental store? What else could you see them offering? Points in exchange for DL tickets/passes? More memory makers? Would they ever let you add water parks to your pass for points?

Pretty sure you can buy the BOGO 24 points on one membership and then the remaining 3 would be regular 24 OTU points. So max of 96 total.

Ok, thanks. That would be wonderful.

No, because those points have to be rented by DVCMC to pay the other Disney unit for the AP, etc. There is friction in that process.

Makes you wonder though why they were okay with a somewhat reasonable exchange for APs though, there's a hell of a lot of friction in that process but someone must've thought it was worth it for the APs.

I suspect there is a bit of an extra subsidy thrown in by DVD on these given it is an MMB perk.

The AP offer thru MMB also gives MS a response for when owners question not being able to rent excessively. Seems like a more useful suggestion for most people than the learning curve and value of Disney Collection or II, etc.

True, I mean.. a family of 4 IF they really needed to could renew sorcerers for 260 points which is a healthy amount of points. Even with BOGO OTU that's still up to 236 points you could spend for something other than stays. That's more points than the average DVC owner has and then still take into account that they probably will save some points to use on actual stays so they can actually use their APs. They probably don't need to offer much more than APs.

Hi Disfriends!
I'm curious to hear from folks who purchased MMB for 2025...what was the "user experience" like? Did you feel it paid for itself or did you feel like there was enough value to purchase this again for 2026? I'm trying to figure out if there is enough value for me. DH and I are APs and I have memory maker attached to my AP. Our kids have APs too, so I don't think we'd ever use the park tickets perks. The OTU points are intriguing tho, as I purchase OTU points almost every year to "top off" a reservation.

I bought it for 2025 and we were able to use the 3 day DL park tickets. I compared it to the Costco tickets and for us, the MMB tickets were cheaper. But those particular tickets only make sense for those who are able to go during the week vs weekend.

I’ll be buying it for 2026. We are going to WDW and it’s worth it for the magic maker (we are not annual pass members).

My guess is that this trade wasn’t going to work for an owner who doesn’t have a lot of spare points.

But, take those large point owners who may have had a change in circumstance and no longer need as many, even if it’s for a few years, and were renting because of it.

Now, they have a way to use up those points. So, it may not play a huge role in the rental market, but it does give owners an alternative.

I know will use points for my AP for as long as I don’t need those points for stays.

And, I have to believe that they sold more OTU points in 2025. So, it seems like a win win.

I was hoping we’d see better point exchanges for cruises, but as I mentioned, DCL has a say in that to some degree.

Meaning, they might not be too happy to be losing cash customers who are DVC owners because the trade option is so cheap.

I could see though for people with smaller amounts of points it could be a nice way to get rid of some spare points they might not have been able to get rid of like if they had 10 banked/holding points that are going to expire. Just buy 24 BOGO OTU points and then you'd just need to spend 31 points for an AP. Buy the rest of the passes with cash to spare the rest of the points. Undortunately I'm kind of leaning towards Disney probably doesn't feel like they need to offer any other worthwhile exchanges.

I know they can only be used during the 7 month window but, what use year do the OTU get applied to? Current only or next as well?

Whichever UY the "trip" you buy them for is in. Then they are stuck and can't be banked.

So buy for something towards the beginning of your UY

As I mentioned before, the other divisions are involved in trades and so DVC alone can’t just do what they want.

I think the fact that they did allow owners to buy OTU points to offset some of the cost was a good thing.

However, there are a lot of owners who don’t even buy APs…while I don’t know for sure, I’d bet more buy tickets instead.

And, maybe that is why we see the WDW tickets have enhanced features.

Instead of just one water park day, it’s 5 water park and sports option.

The theme park days need to be weekdays but those other options do not. So, it might be attractive to more.

Of course the big question is pricing…so let’s see how it compares.

No benefit is going to be the best for everyone…but at least they kept the price to join the same, kept the BOGO OTU benefit and kept the number of points to trade for the AP the same.

Many figured they wouldn’t so IMO it is a big win for owners who found MMB to be worth it!

Do you know if (direct) points can be borrowed to buy the AP?
My UY is March, and AP is due for renewal on Jan..

Yes, borrowing is definitely allowed. They’ll also use banked and even distressed points.
