A few changes with DVC and poly

[Dznypal]

We just checked into the poly our home resort.
Anyways I was unpacking and realized that that trunk like table in front of the couch no longer opens.
So now there’s very little storage place for clothes. There’s the closet and 2 small drawers in the bathroom. Really no place for t shirts and other things like that.

Also now did watching the fireworks fromBLT not just for DVC any longer.
There were areas roped off. My DH has issues with his knees and can’t stand long he always would sit in the chairs in the back but tonight it was blocked off a CM heard my DH day he’d meet me inside a CM opened up the ropes and let us in

It seems you have to be a resveration type deal mow
This was such a fun perk for having DVC now it doesn’t seem so petsonal
When did this change. You don’t even have to show your DVC card anymore just curious

I’m a little confused. DVC has a reservation based system now for fireworks viewing at BLT but you are saying now it’s not just for DVC it’s for anyone?

I'm pretty sure that the TOTWL is only for DVC. They did start recently go to a reservation policy for the balcony area. Call member services to reserve. This most believe is due to parking issues at the resort.

Here is a thread about it: https://www.disboards.com/threads/n...experiences-here.3976436/page-6#post-66527109

This change for fireworks is fairly new in terms of reservations.

But, this is the first report I have read that the DVC card was not checked.

Have to admit that I don't keep up much with DVC.

You do need a reservation (it's free) if you want to park at BLT, this is new as of a few weeks ago.

But they still take walk-ups for folks who ride the monorail over, etc.

Eligibility for TOTWL has changed a lot over the years. It was reported on here that as of some time last year they were verifying DVC status for everyone at the TOTWL - including those who just wanted to use the terrace. It would be a shame if they went back on that.
