Booking a cash ressie for aa non DVC resort as a DVC member

[3DisneyNUTS]

Ok I have a question about booking a cash reservation at Pop Century. Do we get a discount being DVC members (I know they are 2 seoperate companies. And if so do we make the reservation through DVCX member services or through the regular disney reservation line and just mention we are DVC members. :0 Thanks I know you guys have all the answers

Unfortunately, we do not get any discount except for a "member discount" (when available) at DVC resorts. For any other WDW resort we are just like every other guest (except when using points to stay) and use the regular channels (CRO etc.) for reservations. We can't use MS for airline reservations or rental cars either when we aren't going on a "points" trip.

You DO NOT want to use your points to book a ressie at Pop Century!!!!!! It's a terrible waste of points, when you can pay cash on an AP and pay less than $100 per night. Frankly, I don't know why you would want to--an AP rate at AKL is only $125 per night. Perhaps you are thinking of a member's discount at a DVC resort--for that, you can call MS to make arrangements, if it's available. Be careful about using your points, since they are worth about $10 per point. Using them at Pop Century means you'd be paying in excess of $300 per night for a room that you can get for less than $100.

You can't use points to stay at a value resort, they start with moderate.

No I would never use points to stay at any non DVC resort. We learned the point values after booking our cruise with points. For some reason I thought we got a discount when paying cash rooms at the resorts not the DVC resorts I guess it is just the AP discount I was thinking of. AND if AKL is onlky 125 a night with the AP OMG we will do that instead. I don't want to use more points since we are in borrow mode and I was thinking of adding onto our NOv trip. God I think of all the $$ I wasted not coming to this site. We could have paid for the DVC already
