NEW Rejected Offers Thread

I could live with a cavity search if it was faster or adequately staffed…it’s the 10 min or longer waits that are brutal.

So brutal…. especially after you work so frantically to get a family of 4 out the door in the morning while on vacation…

 

[Dodgerburt8]

The agent was not wrong….

Depends on if it was stripped. I’ve seen fully stripped AKV contracts listed at 89.

 

[CarolynFH]

I get "welcome home" when I tap in, but my husband doesn't. I'm sure it's some setting in the mydisneyexperience app

Does he have his own login to the DVC Member website? Both a DVC account and an MDE account are required to have the affiliation recognized at the tapstyle.

One passed at $85 and two passed at $90 in the past few months. One got snatched up at ROFR at $95. You are making a mistake and playing into the broker's hands if you let one action by Disney set your price floor.

They also took one for Saratoga at $125 which is wild but I don’t think most will be offer $130 for SSR anytime soon. Price is one factor that may make a contract more at risk for ROFR but I personally wouldn’t let ROFR drive my offered price.

This is a fair point. They RoFRed SSR at $125 last month. So many sell for way less, especially stripped. Following this brokers advice and logic what’s the right bid for a Saratoga contract? Remember the broker doesn’t get a commission on a non sale and the percentage they get is for more $$ if the sale is at a higher price. Be patient and you’ll get the right deal.

Edit: didn’t see the reply before this which said the exact same thing lol

I work in policy/advocacy and consistency of messaging is important

 

[VGCgroupie]

I’m just happy I don’t have to go through a cavity search at WDW to get into the parks like I do at Disneyland….

Or when the security guy is over the top that morning and annd goes through every single crevice of the stroller and bags and makes your daughter cry because she tried to bring in a tiny chair that has a tray for my granddaughter to eat. She was under 1 but doesn’t eat baby food she eats real food and feeds herself so having it was needed.

I understand that length of security is an annoyance for everyone and adds to an already hectic time of your vacation. But I try to remind myself that there are real reasons that these steps are necessary. I've visibly seen large pocket knives confiscated at the gates. I'd rather them be thorough and make the place as safe as possible. If you want to get through quickly or have a reservation, arrive earlier.

and then you go to WDW and they just let you walk in…. do those checks no catch knives?

I agree security is very important (even if the sniper towers around the area make me nervous) but there’s no reason they need to hire so few people to do bag check. It’s often bad from VGC, it’s much worse from VDH, and sometimes it takes more than 20m to get from the parking lot escalator to the esplanade because of the combination of security and tram lines.

Disney could expedite all of these waits, but has decided to save money instead.

 

[Cfabar1]

The security stations are chronically understaffed, and I often feel are theatrical primarily in nature, and the "treatment" you receive can vary wildly it seems based on the agents...

So much of it makes little sense as well...

Yes he does have his own login to DVC, but he knows he shouldn't use it I don't need him messing up any reservations! And he has his own MDE account too.

At least this is the theory I'm working with: I'm pretty sure this is about collecting large numbers of points in the same units so the points can be chopped up anyway they like. Points are always tied to units. If DVD has 50 points in Unit 1 and 50 points in Unit 2, they can only resell 50 point contracts. If they have 1000 resale points collected into a single unit, they can make any kind of contract a buyer wants (up to 1000 points). If you have a modest sized contract regardless of price DVD isn't likely to take it if it isn't in a target unit where they are already amassing points. Note: if you have a large resale contract, maybe they take that as a starting point to start a new target unit. And if you have a cheap VGC contract, they'll probably take that because they can resell any sized contract (often the same day) associated with GC.

LOL, my DH knows not to use his either, without my knowledge, at least!

Sorry he doesn’t get Welcome Home! at the tapstyles. I thought that if he had a DVC login and an MDE account showing the DVC membership, it would work. Obviously I was wrong! What about a MagicMobile Pass in his smartphone wallet?

Maybe the AP colors override the DVC effect. I'm confused by this as well. I get purple (typically, I think, this is DVC) and green (means you're good to go in) at the tapstyles, but no welcome home. Unsure.

My DW does not log-on to DVC; I handle all the planning & reservations. She too was envious of me getting the "welcome home" at the tapstyles. Don't ask me how, because I don't remember, but I had MS make an adjustment to her MDE account and now she also gets the "welcome home" greeting.

(Except when her finger print doesn't cooperate, which is a 50/50 proposition)*
*I think that has to do with hand lotion she uses!?

I'll have to look into that for my husband. There has to be some setting in the system that just isn't connected right. Luckily it's not a big deal, but my husband also has a touch of envy at my "welcome home", so I'd like to fix it.

Is his My Disney Experience login and DVC login the same email?

Do you see the DVC affiliation under his profile in My Disney Experience (Hamburger Button > Profile > Membership & Passes)?

 

[Gary Carter]

Another perk cut? Lol

FWIW I was there 2 weeks ago and it lit up purple 2/5 days I went to the parks. I was never told "welcome home" And I know it sounds petty, but I missed it.
