Me too... quick reading says it would be worth it just for the Memory Maker if that is something you normally purchase for your trips.

That and the 12 “free” points per year make it a really good deal. Anything else is extra value.

I have never bought one time use points (usually just borrow from the next year if the need be), but two for each one purchased is clearly a bonus.

I just got it! It certainly sounds intriguing! The OTU points is a nice value and pays for the current $99 to enroll. What is intriguing is how they are managing to allow points to pay for Sorcerer Pass? Maybe its them taking them as a transfer?

All I know is that people have been hoping to see DVC give some level of discounts on multiday passes and now we have the potential to have it! I am excited!!!

Yeah, very interested to see the price of those discounted passes!

 

[PortlandFan]

I am hoping those passes are cheaper than the ones I currently buy from AAA!

My guess is it will be somewhere along the lines of the ~5% discount you can get through the 3rd party brokers like www.boardwalkticketing.com. In other words, nothing anyone can't already get. I'll be pretty surprised if it's much better than that, but I hope they SHOCK me

I do think the maximum will be 10% which is what rhey give CMs…well, that was what we used to get when my DD was a CM.

But these are also supposed to be unique that don’t match what they currently sell. So it will be interesting!

I haven’t seen much discussion about it but has anybody noticed the extra hours of lounge access for people who enroll in Membership Magic Beyond? IMO having the extra 3 hours to extend to park close is actually something nice I’ll use regularly being a local. Tbh that actually means more to me than the tickets or the memory maker since we’re passholders with memory maker on them. Planning to buy it when it comes out just so I can take advantage of the BOGO OTU points but who knows, I’ll probably keep it going forward.

Anything about Star View Station?

My guess is no because of the desert parties.

Unfortunately not applicable to Star View. Time will tell if it applies to the one in Frontier.

If you have legacy DVC points, this could be a significant savings on the Sorcerers Pass -
Ex; Direct Points in 2010 at $99/point, with a 2054 expiration, is $2.25/Point ($99/44Yr)
Current MF of ~ 8.54/Point
Total ~$11/Point
65 Points to renew = $715
$715 to renew Sorcerers Pass is a pretty good deal.
Assuming inflation rate on MF is equal to inflation rate of APs, this is definitely worth it if you have the 65points per pass to spare every year.

I consider our buyin a sunk cost, so all I care about is the out of pocket cost now for dues vs. AP. At roughly $9 pp for dues in 2025, a new Sorcerer AP would cost us about 75 X $9 = $675, plus the $99 MMB cost = $774. Quite a savings, and if we were planning more visits in 2025 I’d certainly consider it, especially given the Memory Maker benefit.

And then there were two.

Anybody else see the fine print - discounted tickets are only available for members of your household. A couple with 150 direct points and 5 kids can buy 7, but my husband and I, with over 700 direct points, can't buy more than 2 when our kids and grandkids visit. Hardly seems fair.

Not really because membership extras have always been limited to owners and their household. It is why I, and some others, have added our adult children to our memberships so that their households are now eligible for extras.

Gee, I kinda feel left out by DVC. I've never gotten any Email from them reminding me about Membership Magic Beyond. Perhaps I'm not the "type" of person DVC wants (who do they want?). I thought there was something in there that you could use points to buy your AP, and that's something I'd like to know more about.

Go in and check your settings to make sure you are set up for emails. If so, double check there is no legal reason based on where you live that prevents them from sending these.

Has anyone tried to buy this recently? I just tried, paid with a Disney Gift card and then the site went down. I have no idea if it went through. Going to check with the card to see if $99 was taken out.

It truly gets aggravating with problems with Disney various sites over and over.
