MB, PAP, DVC , TIW and stress

[DisMom829]

We are in the final stages of purchasing DVC. We have a cash trip in June (planned before we found DVC contract that fit out UY), a DH & I only trip in September (cash also) and a "surprise kids, we bought DVC" in November, using our DVC points.
I plan on purchasing TIW card and upgrading to PAP's upon arrival in June. I've been trying to figure all this out, I know we will get MB's for the cash trip in June. If I'm correct we'll get sliders for DVC and PAP? Do we also get a new set of MB's for PAP purchase? If so, can we decline, I mean, won't our June MB's link to our PAP's when I upgrade at gust services?
And the September trip, shouldn't the June bands work for that also?
I think I'm stressing over all this way too much.

The quick answer is yes and yes. Your first set of bands can be linked and worked for all your reservations ongoing. But if you wanted to start collecting different colors and names, then you can get new bands for each reservation. Our last trip we had a split stay at 3 resorts, and we received 3 sets of bands, we could have declined, but the girls planned out their different colors so they really wanted them.
Your sliders will come with your DVC stay. Your PAP should come when the bands are shipped to you, or if your out of the USA like us, you have to ask for them at the front counter.

You can get a set of MBs for each and every trip. MS has now added that they can suppress the request for MBs if you have enough. If you book online for a trip and want the MBs suppressed, just send a note through the member website to MS with the confirmation number and they can suppress them for your trip.

DVC sliders will come in the box with the MBs for your DVC-on-points stay. AP sliders will come with your AP MBs which will come after you customize them after your first trip with the APs.

So to get the sliders you'll want to get those MBs.

Get 'em in different colors so you can have some fun with them. They'll all connect to your account and they'll all work. I have 9 and they all work to get me into the parks (as long as I have tickets on MDE of course), into my room, to charge if I set that up for a given stay, etc.

Another question, when I upgrade to PAP's in June, I just take my DVC member number (card?) to guest services to get DVC discount price. What is DVC PAP price right now?

You will need your DVC Member Card and all adults (ages 18+) will need a photo id showing the same address as the member.

If you want to get the price including sales tax, the tax rate for Orange County FL is 6.5%.
