AP sales…

[Disney mac]

I agree. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I have 900 points. WHERE AM I GOING ON VACATION??/

I just canceled Disney+ to maybe start responding with a pocketbook. It's maddening knowing I had to sit on 3 years of points because of a medical emergency I had to deal with at Disney with my son and had to let our AP expire due to his condition. Then when we finally were ready to buy AP, Covid and he had to lockdown for a year. I had to quit my job to take care of him and home school him for a year...so now we have to use the points as we are all Banked out and I can't get a decent ticket offer for the weeks of points we are using. I know considering what is going on in the world, my problem is nothing. However, being forced to by multiple sets of tickets for the same stay is not what I want to do either....It sucks that a 10 day ticket expires after 14 days....

For $33,000 and $10k/yr, I would think yes….

Unless its included in the cost of their dues (which I dont think it is) not sure they can just offer it.

Because the POS clearly states that owning a timeshare does not qualify us as being considered a FL resident..which may based on FL law.

Now, DPEP can decide what proof one needs to provide in order to purchase the FL resident products it sells and over the years, it has relaxed those rules to allow things like a utility bill, etc.

But, the whole welcome home is based on a timeshare being a home away from home and nothing more than that.

Again, if they want to allow DVC owners the ability to purchase the same passes as FL residents, they don’t need ti qualify us as such. Just say these passes for for both FL residents and DVC..like the Sorcerr pass,,but they obviously don’t want us to be eligible for the same programs and thus, don’t allow proof of owning DVC as valid.

Haha, yeah, I know that… just venting a bit, and maybe hoping, just a little, that someone high up enough at DVC might decide to give the members a little love and open up all the available APs.

This will sound like a broken record but DVC or DVD isn’t the one who gets to sell them.

It is DPEP and that division makes the rules on what they do or do not sell.

Obviously that division suspended the AP program and other than the pixie pass, they don’t want any other guests to have them.

Hopefully whatever reason is preventing them will end soon!

The $15k is a yearly fee and it comes with the pass, tickets, and other benefits.

So, yes, they are giving passes to people who are a member of Club 33

I’m convinced I want to join now

At around $20 per point on the rental market, probably anywhere you want, for a lot less than Disney would have cost you. Or you could sell them for what is probably a nice profit on the resale market.

 

[AnnaKristoff2013]

Disney’s stock dropped by 7 points in after hour trading on Netflix news they Lost 200,000 vs gaining the expected 2.5M

fingers crossed Disney+ is in the same boat. The worse Disney+ performs the more Disney will need to rely on traditional business lines and ap may look more appealing to the bottom line

cross those fingers

I fear that Disney losing money on D+ will just lead to more cuts in the parks budgets.

Last year, they had a buy 4 get 2 day free ticket offer for cash guests and they allowed DVC owners the ability to purchase the same thing when staying on points.

So far, no ticket offers this year..

I think a place that sells tickets from a Frog has this deal still. I know Universal Studios has similar Ticket Offers. Please delete if this is not allowed. Just another disgruntled DVC member that is stuck with a 10 day ticket when I need 15 days and refused to pay full price for another 5 day ticket.

Always just post a link and don’t hint..hinting is not allowed if the site is blocked.

But this site is allowed again so posting www.undercovertourist.com.

Yeah, those are good options when DPEP isn’t offering any deals. But I agree, it is not ideal right now for many without the AP option.

Oh I did not know that! Thanks Sandi

I'm in the same category as all the others here but I am responding by spending less on my parks vacation. Going in a few weeks for a 6 day stay and will do only 3 days all without G+. We plan on conquering what we can on rope drop and treat the rest of the day as whatever. Did also get super lucky as the job I just started does net me a few Uni pass once a year. My bet is the kids will probably be ok with doing both options from now on. Without AP's I can no longer justify ever year trips and will be back to an every other and getting creative with banking points.

Florida’s governor may have had something to do with that drop too.

Stock drop yesterday Was after hours due to Netflix. But sure desantis won’t help

Before some of you get a little crazy on the Club 33 idea, you need to do some research. I thought the waitlist on membership, if they accept your application to join, is 3-5 years........ It's possible some members have cancelled or they've opened up new memberships around the various parks, but it's expensive, exclusive, and you likely need to wait!

I think that’s a given. i view 33 as a long term investment in my park enjoyment to support my dvc investments

he POS clearly states that owning a timeshare does not qualify us as being considered a FL resident..which may based on FL law.

I think it has more to do with the fact that Disney very much does not want anyone "residing" within the boundaries of RCID unless they are Disney employees (and thus, vote the way Disney wants them to vote).

There's a reason that Celebration and Golden Oak were both de-annexed from the District before being developed.
