I noticed to purchase the TIW card you need an ID and your dvc card. Am I correct that since associates on the dvc account don't have member card they cannot purchase the TIW?

Unless you are an AP holder by chance??
Three ways to qualify:
1) DVC Member
2) AP holder
3) Florida resident (more expensive)

Sad but true.

Love your avatar, OP; my son dances and even boys get expensive! :) Though there's less fussing about the hair (except that he wants to grow his hair out...I've told him to talk to his ballet teachers about that LOL) than with girls. :)

I believe the technical answers are correct but it doesn't hurt to ask. Or potentially the member could buy it and get a second card for you for the additional cost depending on your relationship. I'd call and see what TIW says, the worst they can say is no.
 
Just beware, there are blackout dates on the TIW card also. So check your dates to make sure you're covered.
 
From the TIW website:
Join Tables in Wonderland now!
$175 for Florida Residents
$150 for Walt Disney World® Resort Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members
Add a second membership for your spouse or partner for only $50 more!

To purchase a Tables in Wonderland membership, visit Guest Relations, located at all four Theme Parks and Disney Springs™.
You must be 21 years old or older to purchase.

How to Purchase:

  • If you are a Disney Vacation Club Member, visit any Guest Relations location at a Walt Disney World® Theme Park or Disney Springs™ to purchase your Tables in Wonderland membership. Please present your Photo ID and your DVC Membership Card.
  • If you are a Florida Resident or Walt Disney World® Resort Passholder, visit any Guest Relations location at a Walt Disney World® Theme Park or Disney Springs™ to purchase your Tables in Wonderland membership. Florida Residents and Walt Disney World® Resort Passholders may also purchase over the phone. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery when purchasing by phone.
General Block-out Dates:

  • All Tables in Wonderland locations are blocked-out for Mother’s Day, Easter Sunday, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Please note that some locations are subject to additional block-out dates. On Tables in Wonderland block-out dates, there will be a charge for parking and valet services.
 
And my guess is this spouse or partner will have to have an ID with same address as the TIW member.

That's why I said call them because I know they've made exceptions in this area.
 
Adding the second membership makes TIW even harder to make "worth it", though.
It changes the numbers but for someone where the second user will get true value, it could be worth it for some. It'd actually be easier to get true value out of the second card than the first. Certainly for a couple who were usually together, it'd be difficult to make it work $$$ wise.
 
Yeah, I only think of a spouse-as-associate since that's what I am. Useless for DH to have TIW apart from me, since he's not the one who takes solo trips. :) And even with the addition to my cousin's family we're still just a party of 9 total when we all get together.

(So DONE with being an associate. Paying it off today then will be wading my way through those deed-change threads I've seen. :))

My wife wanted her own membership card, so I just bought a 25-point BWV contact via resale and put it in her name. I mean, if I'm going to pay to change the title, we might as well get some more points out it, right?

Except you could change the title on a single contract for $40.
 
How? I have wondered how to do this!
The short summary is this:
  1. Contact DVC for paperwork (best by email)
  2. Return the "transfer" form to them.
  3. They'll send you a ROFR waiver
  4. Send that and a deed to country for ROFR (HI, CA and SC slightly more complicated) with the recording fees. Can use a FL quit claim deed template and the current deed as a model. Must decide on title method (Joint tenants, etc)
  5. Send a copy of the recorded deed and the second transfer received with the ROFR form to DVC.
The cheapest I know to get someone else to do it is around $175 including recording fees.

I like the way you think.

:) Giah I hope we can figure it out from the threads that have been posted on the process.

I did notice that dvc has some pages about it if you search for "deed" on the member site.
