Membership Magic Beyond

I'm hoping it just means still a max of 24 per year. I'm pretty sure there was already a 24 limit.

I hope so too. But I think $99 for all of this is a steal. I know many others will disagree.

Anyone have any thoughts on what the 30 day memory maker means? Like I get a total of 30 days of pictures spread out over the year? I get To use it once during the year and have 30 days to download my pictures? I have to pick an activation date and it works for 30 days?

I usually add memory maker to my AP for $99 so if this takes the place of that then I guess I’m in

I dont mind spending $100 on useful perks. However, they don't seem to offer enough.

Discounted tickets are great, but many DVC members are annual passholders. On top of that, annual passholders get free memory maker. This might deter people away from getting annual passes, depending on the pricing. How about discounted lightning lane. A 4th lightning lane instead of just 3? One free individual lightning lane on each of those per year? Quick service discounts? So many perks that I would love and would pay extra for. Discounted dining plan?

I did not think APs still received free memory maker.

Never use OTU points as at 7 months adding onto a 2 bedroom standard at BWV is not happening wine and dine race weekend. We own what we need.

I have no interest unless there is a crazy good AP price. I won't even pay for LL or the others as we like to come and go as we please and I don't want to stress about trying to get my money's worth.

I’ll let the dust settle on this before seeing if even worth it. Sorry, company looking worse every day with all this new $$$$$ grab tries. Getting so confusing just to take a simple vacation.

I cringed super hard at the LL premier... that is a gut punch amount of money. This I think it priced very fairly or in all honesty too low.

It’s an add on. Not free.

This, like the lighting lanes, is optional.

It’s simple. Think of it like the Titanic- if you have the money to pay you get a lifeboat and a nice place to sleep on the top deck. Everyone else joins the tuba player.

I still read it at DW that lounge access is only for those who pay. I do hope I am wrong.

DL is more clear that they receive priority.

I'm hoping it just means still a max of 24 per year. I'm pretty sure there was already a 24 limit and this says 12+12free with no change in the total allowed. They say "Members" when probably should have said Membership Magic Beyond/MMB Members...

Yes that's how I took it too. I just checked the general OTU page on DVCs website and it still says 24 OTU are allowed. The 12 point limit for Beyond Members is probably to make sure that when you get your BOGO points you still don't end up with more than 24

What happens when so many people do the same as you that you are now re waitlisted? Maybe you can spend even more money, so whoever is willing to spend the most gets access first. Like an auction.

Then they will raise prices, as they always do. Supply and demand.

I almost spit my coke all over my keyboard reading this.

I do agree this is so complicated now. I am not even sure if I can get to the top of Bay Lake Tower anymore without paying.

 

[wnielsen1]

Enjoy this for the $99 price tag because the price will certainly be going up for 2026.

Can't wait to see how many points a sorcerer's pass costs

Sorry, which company isn't making a money grab these days?? I mean Starbucks just announced there scaling back discounts which they have very little to begin with.

They gonna get us all hooked on these $99 perks that next year we will gladly pay $199. Id probably pay 199 this go round honestly.

 

[supercarrie]

What I would love to see is a limit on how long you can stay in the lounge - we have people at DL who stay for several hours at a time. That’s off topic, but would make the DL lounge experience considerably better.

My guess is you’ll pick an activation date and it’ll be good for 30 consecutive days from the point of activation

Agreed. 24OTU points is $480. So purchasing this is good value if you buy 24 OTU every year. $99 + $240 (12OTU X $20) = $339. So with Beyond membership you are spending less than if you bought 24 OTU Points out of pocket.

$99 is the Rollout price. Anyone want to guess, if this is popular, what it will cost in five years...?

 

[RachaelA]

so can only blue card members buy this add on? Or can non blue card members now buy this to get access? This all confuses me.

We love the lounge and I’m sure we’ll spend the $99 but it annoys me to keep having to pay more (but I’m exactly the person Disney likes because I’ll still spend the money )
