Funniest DVC Memory: Playing matchmaker and trying to hookup my newly single DVC guide with my single cousin during her tour

Favorite DVC event you've ever attended: Moonlight Magic

Favorite DVC Trip and Why: The first time I ever stayed at VGC in a tpv room. It was just so magical waking up and watching them power up the rides from my balcony and watching the theme park come alive

If DVC would grant three wishes, I would want them to: Give members free annual passes; have a member event in the Disneyland hotel and Contemporary ballroom thats like a gala annually where we dress to impress and get free dinner, dj, and character meets ; Get rid of rules like banking/borrowing being a final transaction

Funniest DVC Memory: On our initial tour, our then-guide encountered a father packing up and loading the elevator. She said something like "Last day of the trip. It must be a sad day." the father grumbled angrily "for some of us". Was absolutely hilarious.
Favorite DVC event you've ever attended: Only ones I've attended are the member meet updates on DCL
Favorite DVC Trip and Why: Couldn't really pick one, honestly its probably which ever one I just finished.
If DVC would grant three wishes, I would want them to: I love this question, and I'll try to be realistic with them: Offer a small "Welcome Home" amenity when checking into a villa, especially for say 4 days or more - say a note from the GM and a chocolate tray, or a fruit basket, just something little that made me smile and feel special. Livestream/Zoom the Annual Meetings for Owners and allow for questions to be submitted electronically. Bring back Tables in Wonderland for DVC members.

Thank you, I was starting to feel lonely

I love your three wishes, it would make us feel so special to get a little welcome gift upon arrival. That has only happened to us when we had the issue at akv this last time, we walked into the room and there was a card signed by mickey mouse, mugs that you cant get at the gift shop, and some little treats. It was really unexpected and made us feel good, I wish they didnt just have it for issues. The cruise lines give a gift for their Castaway members, I think dvc should do the same!

I think all of your wishes are very reasonable. I think the member meetings are important and everyone should have access. It would take little to no effort for them to livestream it. I wasnt around during tables in wonderland but I know it was a popular offering that I believe included some nice discounts!

I need to look up what this vip premier pass and why dont they have qs discounts at wdw but have it at dlr, are they just trying to confuse members

The Premier Pass is the LL for all rides that doesn’t require a time. You get to do every ride once by just walking on that day.

My guess is that because WDW is so much larger and so many more DVC members visiting, that play a a role.

Ohhh I heard about an expensive LL option, I just never looked into it cuz I knew that would be a no, 50% off would be fabulous.

I'll play along...

Funniest DVC Memory: Hmmm, trying to think of something...

Favorite DVC event you've ever attended: Moonlight Magic at Disneyland! (although Epcot was awesome too). But there was something very special about the Disneyland one...

Favorite DVC Trip and Why: Hmmmm.... Another tough one. So many memories have been made over the years. And so many amazing trips.

If DVC would grant three wishes, I would want them to: Bring back the Premier Pass (the AP for both Disneyland and WDW). Have Moonlight Magic back in Disneyland park (DCA is just not the same). Have the CA DVC meetings actually in CA at our homes!

Funniest DVC Memory: It was 2017 and DH and I had gotten on the wait-list for more VGF points. Our guide called, they had the 150pt add-on if we wanted it. I was at work and had left my purse in my car. I ran out to my car to get my credit card for the deposit. I was so excited after giving him the info over the phone. I shut and locked my car door with my keys in it and my credit card face up sitting on my front seat. Luckily I still had my phone and my DS had to call AAA to get me back into my car. It was not my brightest moment but it makes my family laugh at how DVC can distract me from anything.
Favorite DVC event you've ever attended: Moana 2 Premier
Favorite DVC Trip and Why: AKV Jambo House June 2021. The resort had not reopened but we had a 2bdrm and had what felt like the whole resort to ourselves. DD and DS built lightsabers and then had lightsaber battles all over the resort. In front of the firepit, on the expansion bridge and in the main lobby. There was no one there for us to bother and they had the best moments together.
If DVC would grant three wishes, I would want them to: Offer a promotion to current members where you could buy on get one free for life on points. I agree about the live streaming the Annual meetings and finally I would say a dining discount on quick service meals. As a person who stays in 1bdrms or bigger for most trips this would get me to eat more out of the room and get more of my money in Mickey's pocket.
