The plot thickens about my Membership Magic Beyond. I just, for kicks, went to
DVC site and hit "Profile" and at the very end I see Membership Magic (honestly don't remember ever going to Profile) as last entry..... BUT it gives me the option to BUY, which I did already on a different site that konked out after putting in the money.
I've decided to call DVC tomorrow if I have time and see if I'm 'official' and how will the DVC Lounge know will know when arriving. It kills me to spend another $99 but I do want to use the Lounge more often than in the past as age has played tricks on me and can't do the 25,000 steps there for sure. More like 15,000 and an icepack. Oh so sad.
