Can I use Top of World Lounge if renting DVC points? Can I bring guests?

[P00H1010]

Hello and thanks in advance for any help you can give. I just researched this and of course found numerous conflicting opinions on the subject matter. I've rented points at BLT from a DVC member whose home resort is BLT for the last week of January...slow time hopefully. Can my family use the Top of the World Lounge if renting points? I have 3 family members who live in Orlando coming for dinner 1 night. Can I bring them up to the lounge with me or do they not accept guests?

It completely depends to the CMs at the time, unfortunately there really isn't a straight yes or no answer. The lounge is "supposed" to be exclusively for DVC members staying at BLT. For a special limited time this summer it has been opened up to DVC members staying at other resorts as well. Having said that it never hurts to try as sometimes non DVC members have been let up (myself included). We were renting points from a friend, all we did was go to the desk and say we wanted to go up to the lounge...she looked at 1 of our KTTW cards and asked how many and told us to go to the elevator and the guy would let us up. Generally speaking I believe they ask for a DVC member card before letting people up but I think it really depends on the discretion of the CMs and how busy the lounge is at the time. So I would say go for it, the worse that can happen is they tell you no .

If your stay at BLT was gifted to you by the member, you would be a guest of the member. So if they gifted you a stay at BLT or you were staying with them at BLT, you should be allowed to go to the TOTWL.

Since you compensated the member, you are not a guest of that member.

The member ID you might have would have to match the KTTW. In your case, it would not.
