DVC Chit Chat Thread

I'm assuming that you have a resort stay at that time? I have a Park Res for that day, but didn't get one.

Yes, we have a resort stay.

Cherries don't need an extra cherry.

Coming in suuuuper late to say I need this embroidered on a sampler.

Missed that sale, wow. We are planning for 2 weeks in May, so I will need it. Sounds like waiting for June 1st (renewal date is 5-4) would be optimal, then it would activate in May, just under the 365 days. Thanks!

So just to make sure I understand correctly, if my kids’ pass expires on 8/1, I can renew on 8/30 and it will be good until 8/29 of the next year?
Or is it retroactive to 8/1 when I renew?

But then I received this little gem in my email today!

Congrats! Anybody know is this is happening at DLR or only WDW?

A renewed pass keeps the same anniversary date regardless if you renew it 60 days in advance or 30 days past expiration.

Only a new pass with no renewal discount would get you a new start date.

On that fact pattern, if I understand everything correctly, a renewal would be retroactive to 8/1. But, if you're not planning any trips between 8/1/27 and 8/30/27, that could still be the cheaper move.

Thanks @PolyRob and @airjay75 — that was my understanding as well— the reason I asked is that, if I’m reading her post right, @DVC Gma seemed to think that she could wait to renew until June and it would allow her to use it the following May for 2 weeks…which, if her renewal date is 5-4 wouldn’t work…but as I read it again maybe she was just planning not to renew and get a new AP in June?

I read it as you did but then decided she probably meant get a new AP before the price goes up as she seemed to be responding to @airjay75 .

I think that's right, but probably worth reiterating for @DVC Gma. If your current AP expired on 5/4, you would have until 6/4 to renew. But, if you have a trip planed for dates after 5/4/27, you don't want to renew, you want to buy a new AP which will then have 12 months to be activated. And, personally, I'd wait until the end of summer to see if they repeat the Disney gift card deal they had last year.

An exciting bit of news regarding my upcoming middle of May BLT stay.

One of my favorite rides is Soarin'. Last month it was announced that the ride would be closed to make preparations for the updated Across America. Super bummed.

But then I received this little gem in my email today!

Definitely report back!!!

Same. California Soarin' is my favorite. I like the scenery and the fragrance as well with oranges.

Exciting to see what they come up with for 250th America.

Any guesses?
Statue of Liberty
Grand Canyon
Yellowstone
New York City
New England coast line
Philadelphia
Mount Rushmore
Rockies
Hawaii
Alaska

All of the above. lol

There is just so many spots, but I think they may go very slim on California locations, since there is already a whole movie for CA.

I'd love to see Multnomah Falls (Oregon) featured!

these are all decent guesses, I’d add:
Hoover Dam
Alamo
Seattle Space Needle
Denali
Hollywood
Golden Gate Bridge
Some sort of cattle ranch and/or farm

Oh man, after doing an After Hours at MK last year, I will personally always incorporate one into the trip if it’s on offer!

i'm trying to do one party here in May at MK, looking forward to it.

I hoped to attend one last year, but I couldn't get myself to pay the money for the ticket, since i'm AP. This year, I decided I had to try it, so I bought a ticket.

 

[Cyberc1978]

Btw I have a voucher for a new pass. The expiration for the voucher is sept 30th 2026. I dont expect to be able to activate it before then.

What will happen after sep 30th? will I have an expired voucher which I can exchange to a new voucher, assuming the pricing hasn't changed otherwise I would need to pay the difference?

MNSSHP tickets acquired! Doing 2 parties this time since we have a longer trip! I don't want to wish away the summer but....Come on September!

I managed to get tickets eventually using a VPN! The MDE still kept sending me to the UK site though!
Does anyone know if there are some dates you don't get a DVC discount? We're going on 16th October.

In other news (yesterday was a good day!!) I booked a pop-up event! It's on 17th May in London and we happened to be going anyway to see a David Bowie experience - Lightroom.
The other thing is a Grogu Cafe Experience with loads of random partners so no idea what it entails! It was free too which was nice!



This May, we’ve worked with Disney to bring you an exclusive Grogu Cafe pop-up inspired by everyone’s favourite little icon from Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

15–17 May only
Event-only access
Limited availability

A fun, elevated Grogu-inspired bubble tea experience full of cute surprises

Yes only some of the event are eligible for a DVC discount. I believe its dates on or before Oct 2nd.

Ok, cool! That's a shame but understandable - thanks for letting me know

I think the value never expires, so you get to apply what you paid to a new ticket but would pay the difference if the new one has increased

I had a dream last night about DVC!

DH and I bought points at CFW from a new guide. I was running around in a panic screaming “What did we do? I would never buy CFW for SAP!” I was trying to figure out how we could contact our guide to get out of it without making him mad at us!

luckily you have your 10 days to get-out-of-jail for-free card.
