Free popcorn refills for DVC members

[vacay77]

Many of you might know this already, but my husband discovered yesterday that DVC members get free popcorn refills after buying the popcorn bucket! We had no idea, the Aulani isn’t our home resort. We wish we had purchased the popcorn bucket on the first day.

edited to add: this is for members who have the blue card.

Yes. I should have clarified that in my original post, I was too excited, lol.

I believe this roughly sums it up.

Blue Card Only
- Popcorn refills
- Shiny pool wristbands
- Merch, F&B, recreation discounts

Anybody Staying on Points
- Free self-parking

I recommend members go to the DVC member website and look at the list of all of the perks that you get.

People who bought resale:
Shame and ridicule for saving $14,000...oh wait you can keep your free popcorn.

I'll have to show the blue card for every refill then?

The refills are $1 lolllllll.

Woot woot free refills that are usually $1.00. That’s $1/day for 7 day stay, a total of $7.00 US ($10 CDN) - I’ll take it!

how much are the popcorn buckets in the first place?

 

[Brett Wyman]

The refills are $1 lolllllll.

Im sure that makes up for the extra $150 per point that paid direct. That and the shiny wristband.

I didn’t create this thread to cause a debate with regard to direct vs resale. I was genuinely excited about the free popcorn refills. Please don’t hate on that.

Actual cost for Disney to give away popcorn? Less than $1
Weren’t there custom wristbands at one point? I imagined them being leather. I’ve never been to Aulani.

I wasn’t trying to debate I am excited you get free popcorn too. Just pointing out the fact Disney continues to punish people who bought resale even over something like a $1 popcorn.

Yea I hear you on this. Also if you buy resale on Riveria you can only use at Riveria. Disney lately has been pushing the goal posts back on blue card DVC members. I Have been thinking about buying some more points but I will only do it in re-sale. I would not be surprised if within five years disney takes the free parking away for blue card members.
