Ok… spoke to the front desk… new policy is that Security will be at the elevators at most times (bathroom breaks are allowed) and that guests should have access to their digital or physical key.

Hey @AstroBlasters, you didn’t happen to see if they have the new Halloween DVC pin in stock at gift shop, did you? Figure that might be my best shot lol

When you want a 2 bedroom at your favorite home resort and it's not available but you just saw those days in a 2 bedroom for rent on FB.

Also don’t go out of your way at all, I’m probably gonna be there tomorrow morning anyway just thought you might’ve seen it. Thanks though!

Ooh that’s close, still very annoying.

Ive had it waitlisted for a long time. Did some looking and it's at least not from a serial renter so that does make me feel better. . Still hoping it will come through, if it doesn't I will be staying off site one night

I am actually okay staying offsite 1 night since it's a travel day but my husband is not happy... "we spent how much money and we are staying somewhere else!!" He doesnt really understand how booking DVC works even though I have told him many times.

So wait...which elevators are they asking for keys near? If someone doesn't have a key, they aren't letting them in? I wonder if there was some issue that prompted this or what.

The main ones to go to any VGC wing room.

FWIW, they are definitely verifying reservations and wristbanding at the pools….

I’m guessing this is a 7m waitlist with non-VGC points?

Made it around 7/8 months I can’t remember when but I’m actually using VGC points since I have them to spare due to not really getting to stay there as much as I have VDH.

I saw David from Fresh Baked (I pretty much watch everything he does) and Chris Provost (who I don't watch much) last year on the day that Haunted Mansion reopened for the Halloween season and said hi, but didn't get a pic with either of them and I've totally kicked myself.
