For the locals, can we visit the DVC Resorts

[plc001]

without staying at them, any of them?

For example,

Can we drive in to BCV and have a hamburger at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop?
Then, can I drive to OKW and have a key lime pie at Olivia's Café?

Ok, now I am hungry

We have visited all the resorts, but they looked at the parking permit, since we were staying in property.

Yes. Just tell them at the guard shack that you are going to eat. They may give you a three hour parking pass.

You're making me hungry!

You just won't be able to swim at the resort. You have to be a guest at the resort to swim there. But you can dine, shop and just visit if you like.

Thanks all, yeah no pool hooping just dinner.

Why?? There's no need for that. Anybody is welcome to ANY resort to eat at any eating establishment. You don't have to be dvc to eat at dvc resorts, and the guard isn't going to care if you're a member or not.

The only thing people who aren't registered guests at that resort can't do is use the pools. But again, being dvc or not dvc doesn't make any difference.

I'm aware. And didn't intend at all to make it sound like resorts aren't open to any and all visitors and if any thought that, my apologies.

I misinterpreted what the OP said/asked & thought they were interested in visiting longer than 3 hours which is what visitor parking pass usually covers therefore I mentioned the DVC card thinking they may perhaps get extended parking time.

Best wishes.

One reason to show your card is it can often be the difference between being allowed to park in the main lot or being directed to an auxillary lot. Plus if the main lot is not available due to capacity, you can use the DVC card for free valet parking.

you need to show your driver license and don't be surprise if the guards writes down your tag number.
