I see shirts in resorts that say "
DVC MEMBER"...I call "member services"...I have a "membership number"....so please pardon my surprise when I hear claims of Disney resort ownership left and right. It's not anything about denigrating the DVC product itself, which I actually know nothing about really other than what I see from Disney YouTubers; we bought recently and our experience thus far is grayed-out charts for the rest of the year (GFV, BWV, BC)...yet, somehow I was able to book DVC rooms on the cash side previously. Alas, we will still be lowly hotel guests for the rest of the year, although I must say we looking forward to the purple circle at the park entrances!
