I added my upcoming DVC reservations into the new My Disney Experience section of the WDW web site this afternoon. When I did, it automatically created my DVC affiliation on my profile. However, instead of showing my DVC member Id (the title of the field), it added the contract number of the points from the first reservation I added.

It also looks like there's a section when adding the reservations where CRO guests can change who the lead guest is on the reservation. Too bad that option doesn't work for DVC reservations, because one of mine came up wrong, listing my son-in-law as the lead guest, and his address as the correspondence address.

Today's the 180 day point for our reservation. Frustrating that the dining module still doesn't recognize DVC reservations. It's funny that you can click on the link to add dining reservations on the hotel reservation itself and the dates are still locked. You can also click it from the calendar that shows the reservation with the same effect.

Mine has my Club ID. It looks like a contract number, but it's not. The Club ID is unique to each individual on the membership and even associate members (that's me) are assigned Club IDs.
 
I added the affiliation to mine and it messed up all the links to my reservations. It acted as if I was no longer the lead guest, so it would not show the reservations on my site. I eventually had to get Disney to disassociate my DVC membership.
 
The main site is working OK for me, but Disney.Com had me listed as Chuck, and DVC had me listed as Charles. The system considered me two separate people until I changed my profile on the Disney site to Charles, nor would it load any DVC reservations until the name matched.
 

I tried to link my two accounts too, and it would not work. I am hoping they have the kinks out of it soon.

Mine are linked, but like Dave, I think it was from linking an upcoming resort reservation.
 
I had issues linking my accounts as well. I ended up logging into the new DVC site with my disney.com login and it asked me for club id and one-time activation code (which I did not have). I had to call member services and they reset my dvc account and gave me a new activation code. Once I did that everything linked up as it should.
 
I really like the fact that it shows my annual pass expires in 2030. If only it were true!
 
When we bought DVC 3 years ago, I already had a disneyworld.com account with my email address as the sign on. When I was setting up my DVC online account, the MS CM who was helping me advised me to NOT use my email as my sign on, in case down the road my email changed. So I created a different username. Should I attempt to link the 2 accounts? I'm quite leery, given that all of my dining reservations disappeared when they changed the site over. :(
