Says $6 in the post.How much?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I believe this is for everyone.Does this also apply to DVC rooms or is it like the package charges that get waived if you are staying on points?
Hmm, pretty sure that goes against the member contracts, I will have to dig it out and read through to see.I believe this is for everyone.
Its written in the contracts that Disney will hold onto your deliveries for free?Hmm, pretty sure that goes against the member contracts, I will have to dig it out and read through to see.
I think the idea is that since DVC dues explicitly cover the incurred costs so if the costs are passed to DVC then they are paying their share always. Take parking for an example: since DVC dues cover parking as a line item they can't charge for parking because it is shared cost to DVC, thus Disney would be double dipping if they charged DVC for parking.Its written in the contracts that Disney will hold onto your deliveries for free?
That makes sense. I do wonder if Disney/DVC doesn't consider this as part of the dues since its more an extra service?

Since DVC members pay for the salary (at their proportional share) of the employees of a resort does Disney charging the fee double dip? I really don't know the answer on that. It's not about being explicitly called out its a question of what DVC dues cover then, if this fee is for the extra costs, are they then passing on the increased costs into the dues down the line? Or does DVC only pay their share of the salary, electricity, etc. less the $6 fees collected, which are being advertised to offset the increased costs. Hopefully that makes sense, but I'm fairly certain that was the posters comment and it's less DVC contracts and more Florida law that would cover this.
All costs at the hotel are passed to DVC members at their share of cost to the resort (based on assumed occupancy), there isn't an above and beyond. Take for instance a DVC exclusive resort where it is clear that this would be double dipping if it does apply. 100% of the costs to run that resort go to members. Though as long as the income from these package fees show up on the Dues sheets it is kosher, parking fees Disney collects for rooms that go unrented by member (breakage) show up as an income to members.That makes sense. I do wonder if Disney/DVC doesn't consider this as part of the dues since its more an extra service? I obviously don't know all the contract terms.
Even us members don't know all of the terms, but bell services is supposed to be part of the dues, so I don't see how this would be allowed, but I would have to review the contract to see if it is or not, as I don't have every bit of it memorized obviously.That makes sense.

Low? I would actually consider this quite high, these are high end resorts that shouldn't be dinging for every little thing like this.Surprised it is so low.

How do you meet the delivery person in the lobby when the resort won't allow the. To deliver to the lobby because they have to come through the delivery entrance?It’s not a little thing. It’s a lot of work for the resort staff.
If people don’t want to pay the $6 then meet the delivery person in the lobby. Problem solved.

I do blame them, it is simply a cash grab.I just said this in another thread -
There are zillions (hyperbole) of threads on here and elsewhere with non-DVC guests discussing their grocery orders. While I don't doubt some are needed due to allergies/medical reasons, others are just to save money on buying food at Disney. While there are no rules against that, with this influx of grocery deliveries, Disney has to store and then deliver all these groceries. They have to have staffing and storage solutions for it (including cold storage).
Thus your $6 charge.
Even if it is Disney's way of trying to curb all the grocery orders, I really don't blame them.
