DVC Free Upgrades at Vero

[DavidRoss]

Has anyone ever gotten an upgrade for free (no extra points) when going to Vero during a low season time on a points reservation? I wouldn't expect this to have at a DVC resort at Disney World. But, I think I heard about this before but can't remember.

Not at VB, but these are the four upgrades we have received:

1. Once cause of over booking at VWL:
Booked a studio at VWL, when we tried to check-in, we had been upgraded to a WL 2 bedroom lake view suite. Called some family members to come and join us for an unexpected vacation.
2. Once cause of problem with check-in at AKL:
Booked a standard view studio at AKL-Jambo, checked-in, given a room key as the room was supposed to be ready, went to the room, and found suitcases and purse in the room along with the room not being made up. Went back to the front desk, they gave us an on-the-spot upgrade to a savanna view room in another part of the resort plus four free breakfasts.
3. DCL
Reserved an inside stateroom but were upgraded to an ocean view room. We did not find out about the upgrade until we got to the room, what a surprise that was. When our luggage arrived it still had the old room number's tags on them.
4. AKL-Jambo
Booked a standard view room at 5 days out due to a last minute change in home plans. Given a Savanna View room.

DVC guests might be upgraded if there is a reservation or room problem. Unlike a cash guest upgrading you doesn't make you want to come back, as a DVC owner, you will be back anyway.
