I have made a cash reservation through Member Services for an upcoming trip. Can I pay for this in advance or do I need to wait until I check in? If yes to the former, do I pay through Member Services or CRO? Thanks!
You have to wait until check-in. DVC does not have an accounts receivable system for reservations, thus cash bookings and dining plan are paid for at check-in. For cash reservations, you do have to leave a credit card guarantee. If you cancel 5 days or less before arrival, they charge 1 night.
