MMB and DVC Lounge

[WinterSolider]

Same here. No way am I buying MMB. It's just a downgrade to our membership.

As to "needing" OTUP, in my 18 years of membership, I've only borrowed once and have banked points every other year, including this one. Why would I need OTUP?

Points are worth $40+ of rack rate savings.

Getting them every year for $20 (or $10 with MMB) puts you ahead every single time you do it.

I would love to hear actual experiences with wait times WITH and WITHOUT MMB.

Hi there, we were at the MK the week that the new lounge opened (I think it opened during the work week and we were there on the first Saturday it was open). We went to the podium at 11:15am (or maybe it was 10:15am? it was slightly after the lounge opened for the day) and we are MMB -- when we reached the podium (it took about 5 minutes, as the line was long), when we checked in, they said it would be around a 5-10 minute wait due to so many families checking in. It was probably 7 minutes and we got the text to go in. As I understood it from the cast member, those without MMB were told about a 3 hour wait. I hope this helps!

To do what stay at Saratoga Springs? I think most people book in their 11 month window. I would estimate one time points be worth less than $20 I can scroll down to the bottom of the board and book at 11 months with rented $20 points.

I mean that's exactly what SAP is all about. Booking at 7 months is a big thing, there's always stuff available (way more than just SSR). I book hundreds of points at 7 months every year and I bet a bugger percentage of points are used in that window that we'd guess. Getting 24 more for $10 is a steal. Literally cheaper than all other points (dues + buy in + time value of money is higher than $10 for every resort). Such a good deal I don't think it'll last long.

If you never need OTUP, you would be banking the extra points until the end of membership.
What good is that?? No savings there. It’s like buying something you will never use because it’s on sale, then saying you saved twenty bucks on that item….
Unless you intentionally buy them to rent.

Used MK Lounge w/ MMB when there was a wait, I didnt inquire how long it wouldve been. We waited about 5 minutes to be seated.
Epcot Lounge no wait.
DLR Lounge no wait.

They are not holding tables at the end of the day for MMB. We have it and tried to get in a little over an hour before close. They said no. There was no one hanging outside and we hung out to see if more people entered or left. The place looked dead. No one went in at all for the next 45 min. It was pretty obvious to us that they just shut it down early.
