I’d get Membership Magic Plus to ensure a spot.

We have it and would never go without it but the DLR lounge hasn’t been real busy whenever we have visited.

I just got what you were saying. Not fun if you check in with food in hand and had to wait.

Plus the outdoor area is not part of their assigned lounge seating. If just want that..should be a pretty quick check in access.

We went before they had assigned seating and it was packed…. It’s been better since the assigned seating because a family of 4 can’t take over a seating space set up to hold 8 people….

Depending on when you go it can be chilly outside and that can really impact the temperature of the food while Mom/Dad go get drinks from the Coke machines.

It’s worth the $99 IMO.

Also, OTUP work at the restricted resorts…. so people could potentially try to add a day with the BOGO OTUP at 7m

Dues.
$10.5354 Previously $9.8207

For those brains that like clean rounded numbers.

$10.54 vs $9.82

That seems like a big jump for a fairly new resort. Going to look at the changes for the rest of my resorts.

Alot of them had big jumps. Too bad VDH had such a high one. VGC did as well.

It’s so great having more DVC inventory in Anaheim. My wife and I had this conversation tonight:

Me: They announced that Soarin Over America will start on July 2nd…. WAIT… we are supposed to fly home on July 1st and we are at the 7m mark….

Wife: Can we add another night to our 2BD VGC stay?

Me: No, but there is a VDH 2BD available!….

Wife: It’s not an accessible room is it? It feels wrong to take it from someone who may actually need it.

Me: Nope, a standard 2 bedroom villa…

Wife: Do we have points that will work there?

Me: Yup, I have some Aulani direct points we can make work if I adjust some things.

Wife: That sounds fun, let’s do it!

Nice Astro!

Great that we have more DVC inventory in Anaheim. Versus WDW, direct vs. resale is a bit trickier at Disneyland.

THIS! It is SO nice to be able book or add on short notice and not have to have to all laid in stone at 11 months every trip.

Stop or you guys will tip the scale back toward VDH for me.
Though I still think 1-BR availability is probably not great. And no way would we have enough points for a 2BR. Ha!

I would need to look at the room chart for exact room count, but from extreme stalking experience, I have not seen 2 bed availability be better than 1 bed availability.
